The Roast Beasts in Congress Vote Themselves a $4,700 Pay Raise

Members of Congress Award Themselves $4,700 Raise in 2009 (MarketWatch)

Talk about Fleece Navidad. With the economy in a shambles and 1,500 Americans a day losing their jobs, Congress has responded by voting themselves a $4,700 pay raise effective in 2009. This raise is $600 higher than the raise they voted themselves in 2007. And why shouldnt it be? Haven't they done a great job this year?

Meanwhile, every sucker down in Who-Ville sits down for some 99 cent Who-Hash!!!
