Beware the French Revolution

Senator John Kerry will be meeting tomorrow with French President Jacques Chirac the Boston Globe reported today. My first response was big deal....loser meet loser.

Then it hit me. Isn't the senate in session right now? Shouldn't Senator Kerry be working? It seems to me that Mr. Kerry has taken about the last 2 years off in his failed bid to be president. Being the junior senator from Mass. is in fact his day job. The job that he has been getting paid for without him actually doing his job. This has to be about the sweetest job in the world. Get elected to congress, then take the next 4 years off while running for president.....and still get paid!! Not only am I a little jealous, I'm starting to feel a little bit ripped off.

There should be a new law passed that if you are a congressman or senator and you decide to run for president, or other elected office you should waive your pay for the time you take off. I don't get paid if I decide to run for president and I feel the playing field should be equal.
