This has to be one of the most incoherent pieces of "news" I've read today. It is also somewhat misleading. Hmmm, lets fix this.

Who the hell is Rep. Major Owens? He's not a Member of the House. He is obviously not a good writer. Anyone care to tell me if he is a CA State Rep, please? Oh, and tell hom not to quit his day job. The life of a rapper is not for him. On second though, quit your day job, because you are a crappy writer, but don't fall back on your rapping skillz.

Lets have a gander to what committees Congresswoman Millander-McDonald sits on, because I've never heard of her.

Committee on Small Business? They have no power. One of the smallest committee budgets in the House.

Transportation? Decent. You can do a lot of fun things on that one. No complaints here.

And finally, she is the first African-American woman to lead the Committee on House Administration. Never heard of it. Lets find out what they do.(p)

Gosh, that sounds very very important. I sure hope the Smithsonian can handle all the bipartisanship she will throw at them.

/Most of the stuff that that committee is said to have oversight on is taken care of by a non-partisan office.
//Yeah figureheads!

Oh yeah, almost forgot

If you offended this chairman in some small way, the repair of your telephone might be blocked or a requisition for paperclips would be delayed.

How to fix the first problem: Call the tech guy. Every office has a tech liason who handles communications between the private company that fixes the phones.

How to fix the second problem: Send the intern to office supply. That is what they are there for.

/Rep. Major Owens is a dumbass

Major Owens was in fact a US House member (D, New York's Fightin' 11th out of Brooklyn), but retired at the end of the 109th.

I guess he did quit his day job. Poor career choice, buddy. That would explain why he didn't pop up on the 110th homepage. Still should put Fmr in front so people don't get confused. He's pulling a Katherine Harris deal, and thats just crazy.

What scares me more is the fact that he is trying to insinuate that the Republicans had more control over his office than his own staff did. I mean, sure Ney was corrupt, but all the Committee on House Administration does is look for glaring mistakes on the office accounts. They don't have power over maintenence. And if his intern can't figure out where the office supply is, the kid is an idiot.

So after 12 years of the Republicans running Congress and accomplishing very little, it's now actually considered bad to have an ambitious agenda?

She has no real power. It is a figurehead position. One that looks nice on a resume, but doesn't mean anything. Most of the day to day stuff that this committee has oversight for is taken care of by the GAO.
