I was just recently featured in The Bobo Carnival of Politics. It is a website that you can submit your political blog posts to and he puts new ones up every week and writes little responses. My dad submitted an article about us paying the president and got this response:

Aahz - welcome to the party brother! And..Amen to that! The only thing he has to spend that income on is other investments or big toys! And..you’re right - they get 100% retirement and 100% benefits - and - it gets passed on to the surviving spouse as well - same goes for Senators. Senators only need to serve one term and they get full 100% income and benefits. The Clintons will be soaking us dry for years. Regarding BO - even if he is a one termer - he will continue to get the same pay for the rest of his life..and considering he’s what - 46? Hell - we could be paying him $400k (plus any increases) for the next 40 years! Why is it that we only elect millionaires in to this position - knowing they are taking a pay cut and don’t need the money?

I submitted my post about the World’s Smallest Political Quiz  and I got this response:

Awesome - we have a family submission!  So - Aahz is your dad! Cool!  I don’t even think my older kids could spell blog nevertheless get them to sit behind a computer! And - thanks for this submission - I’ve seen these diagrams posted up - but, could never find them.  I took the test and came out exactly where I thought I would - Libertarian, Conservative - leaning more Libertarian than Conservative.  Also - you might want to correct your link to the quiz - I had to backtrack it through the main website that it links to.

Thanks Bobo. I liked being in your carnival and appreciate the response!
