Put Congress on The No Call List.

OK. Time to face reality. This campaign is going to be totally Obama-Palin. No one (but the McCain Campaign) wants it to be that way. Yet apparently the Left Media is fated to attack her and the rest of us are fated to be amazed at their attacks. Yes, they are trying to help the country (by helping Sen. Obama win) but I ask: are their "street sweeping, Uzi spraying, take no prisoners" tactics actually achieving that end?

According to the Washington Post, we learn that as Mayor of Wasilla, "Palin Cut Own Duties, Left Trail of Bad Blood." Can't you just see the bad blood spurting from that cut in her duties? Apparently the Washington Post believes you can bring about "change" without reorganizing government or hurting anyone's feelings -- or at least the feelings of anyone in government. If you are in upper management in the Private Sector and lose your job, it's your own damn fault and you should have gone long ago. If you are a manager in government and you lose your job, it is the fault of the nearest Republican. Got it? Sen. Obama's change must be the sort Massive Bureaucracies can believe in.

Their attacks undermine the Obama Campaign in another way. They criticize Sarah Palin for getting money from the US taxpayer to help the People of her town achieve what they believe to be worthwhile ends. The National media appears to say the very act of making the request is bad, bad, bad. The Shame is on you for asking! But what is the premise of the entire Obama campaign? That they will take money and resources from one group of Americans and give it to another -- in fact, they will do that globally and on a massive scale. In this case it is good, good, good! The Shame is on you for even questioning!

In their way of telling it, Sarah could just call the US congress and, using her womanly wiles, whisper in their earmarks and ask them for money and those old guys were just so glob struck by her charms that they would cut a check. I wonder what those conversations were like. "Uncle Sugar, you are so big and strong and I am so small and vulnerable. Will Unkie Wonkie let little Sarah feel his big biceps? And will Unkie build little Sarah an itsy-bitsy Bridge to Nowhere." And Congress can't help itself. It just has to say, "Golly, Miss Sarah. Is 200 million enough, Pumpkin? How 'bout we make it 245, just in case?"

And these are the folks who will dispose of extra trillions of dollars of new spending in an Obama Administration. And dispose of it they will. Yup.

So let us take the media portrait of Congress collapsing before the onslaught of mayor Palin's charms as a true representation of reality. Isn't Congress like the old retired guy who will buy power tools he don't need with money he don't have from telemarketers without scruples just because he can't say no? And won't that guy's wife and kids cut up his credit cards and put him on the "no call" list? Can we do that for Congress? Apparently, they can't stop spending so it is up to us to stop asking.

Of course there is a difference between Congress and that old guy. Congress can raise its own debt limit and print its own money. Yup. Trillions of dollars spent and we won't even want to keep the change.
