The Clinton like to play up the poverty angle... I mean, Hillary says they left the White House with nothing, and Bill in his own book, talks about "finding" $5000,000 dollars he'd "forgotten"about tucking away, like some people might find a twenty in their pants pocket on laundry day (some might call that a secret slush find, Billy-Boy). I mean, if you spend most of your time in D.C., anyhow, just call that your permanent residence.  Or, do what a lot of folks who travel for work do and live out of your suitcase.  There are some nice, moderately-priced hotels in Washington, I imagine... or Sanders could rent a house a few months a year during the busy season.

So, all representatives make too much?

I'd have to see the numbers to determine that.

However, can he justify the expense of purchasing three houses? If he lives in one for x months out of the year, do the other two sit simply closed up and unused during that time? Is his family living on one or both houses, or do his kids have their own places to own/rent? Does he rent out the property to tenants for part of the year for extra cash? Does he declare this added income? Is this a cost-effective way of doing things?

Dunno, maybe you can ask this guy:

You did rather set yourself up for that. ;)

I thought the outrage was over the belief that he'd spent campaign donations to add to the total numbers of houses he owned.  Since that doesn't appear to be the case after all, do all elected representatives need to justify their assets, or just this one guy?  I'm just trying to keep up with where the goalposts are moving.

^ Those were some crazy cool links.  Amazing how he worked hard and earned enough money to buy all that stuff.  Jeez.  Talk about, who needs a lot of that stuff.  I am sure he would admit he doesn't need most of it.  Amazing some of those mansions.

Obama administration lied.  Originally they said that the $400 million dollars being sent to Iran was not sent as ransom for the release of American prisoners... turns out it was, and the Obama Administration admitted it today.  LINK.

Princeton tells officials and student to not use the word, "man" or "woman" as it might offend.

Hillary leads in the polls by two points.

Huh?  This has been planned for years (at least since 2013).  ICANN already has operational control of IANA's main functions, and has for some months.  Anyone just objecting now has rather missed the boat.

We still shouldn't be handing over our control of the internet I don't believe... maybe same with the Panama Canal too.

It's not really "control of the internet".  "Control of domain names" is probably more accurate.  To what extent that's the "Internet" is debatable (though it certainly is important for the web as commonly used).

Routing, the really #1 important thing, has been held together by the international community of grumpy sysadmins shouting at each other for decades now.
