It's Turkeys All the Way Down


Our second featured Member of Congress is Joe Baca of San Bernardino, California.

In future, I'll try to find more recent news items. This one, however, is good for three reasons:

1) It's got pictures!

2) Rep. Baca gets kudos for having his own charitable foundation, which evidently also sponsors sports camps and gives scholarships (with only a small kudos-deduction for naming the charity after himself - I think this is still a preferable form of self-promotion over, say, building your own mausoleum while still alive).

3) There's no subtle agenda behind the giving. It's just turkeys, and who can't get behind that?

Well done, Joe Baca.

  2. Zing! Apparently there are people "who can't get behind that." Well played, Miguel.

    In other news, I am behind that. Give me some turkey!
