Results of my "Where will Comrade Obey live after retirement" poll

The results are in, and you folks are too much fun! We had our largest participation to date, as 40% of you said Comrade Obey would stay in tony Georgetown once he stops dealing out pork from the US Treasury. While I picked Moscow (20% of the votes) as a suitable place for him to hang up his calculator, I agree that he will undoubtedly stay in DC to make additional millions as a corrupt, albeit cranky, lobbyist. I'm thinking eco-terror, cap & tax, carbon offsets stuff, but we'll have to wait and see.

20% of you picked Leningrad, 20% of you picked Cuba (a nice warm, Socialist escape), while Stalingrad, Ho Chi Minh City, and Northern Wisconsin (good old District 7, his supposed home turf) received 0%! You are all wise souls!

Not surprisingly, the Milwaukee Urinal wrote thousands of glowing words about our erstwhile Congressman, so effusive was the praise that I expect to see Obey as the 5th face on Mt. Rushmore sometime soon. I had no idea he was so beloved for giving out other people's money! they wrote about his earmarks as if these were good things--unbelievable. I mean seriously, he was really good at it.

Thnaks for participating in the poll, hope you'll enjoy the next one (whatever that may be). --Paul
