Grayson asks Holder to investigate spoof PAC
Florida's colorful Democratic Representative Alan Grayson isn't finding to laugh at in a spoof of his CongressmanWithGuts.com website. Grayson has sent a complaint to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder asking that the creator of the MyCongressmanIsNuts.com website and PAC be fined and sent to the slammer for a five year sentence. Grayson's objection is that the organization's originator doesn't live in the 8th congressional district that he represents, and is thus fundraising disingenuously by referring to Grayson as "my congressman."
Grayson also draws Holder's attention to the fact that while the PAC's FEC's filings pledge to that it "supports or opposes more than one Federal candidate," there's little ambiguity that Grayson is the one in the crosshairs here. If the name of the PAC alone wasn't proof of that, there's the fact that MyCongressmanIsNuts.com is nearly an exact replica of Grayson's own PAC website, right down to the prominent YouTube placement and electric blue grunge font.
You can read Grayson's four-page complaint yourself right here.

Sometimes, actions need to be
Sometimes, actions need to be watched and are not merely meant to be laughed at. We should think that our words can hurt someone's feelings, though for others it's not a big deal and all things are not to be pleased and are not taken seriously. To think, instead of doing something that are not important, we should of ways on how to solve our problems with regards to our economic condition. Things like, More people live in rental properties than those who own their own home. At a certain point, you accumulate enough possessions that any loss, such as fire or theft, would be a great detriment and that is why it is prudent to get a renter's insurance policy. Instead of owning their own houses, many tend to rent because of this increasing problem. So, if we don't want to put the blame on others, we should first point our fingers to ourselves.
