9. He's my congressman, unfortunately....He starts his Town Hall meetings
with an obligatory "Pledge of Allegiance", which I find

cloying and gratuitous..I've got nothing against the Pledge,

but freaking A, like most, I think, I said it every day for

years in grammar and high school, and I really don't need

his maudlin "show" of patriotism.

As the "loyal opposition", I challenged him amidst

a crowd of fawning sycophants, and, the second time,

at least, I got a round of applause.

He has been getting a lot of push back lately,

which is a huge relief...He comes off like

a shallow, but well-trained showman and listening

to him "open" with his 40 minute, pre-question

fillibuster of "shtick"

is almost unbearable:eyes:
