Congressman Lives in MD - Represents California - The Razor tells the story of the Congressman who benefits from living in Maryland.

My Grandfather, the 14th Amendment, and the AIG Bonuses - The Provocateur covers similar ground to JoshuaPundit and Colossus of Rhodey but with a personal perspective.
