Members of congress accused of sexual harassment

One is a Democrat, the other a Republican. I just called my rep and asked him to denounce this behavior publicly...

Can you all help and call your reps too? I think we should make some noise so that the difficulty of reporting these things on capital hill will change..

"Changes are coming to the state Capitol just days after two Minnesota legislators were accused of sexual harassment."

Let's elect more women as legislators. I think that's the best answer to all of this nonsense.

However, there have also been reports of harassment in Congress. Looks like it's everywhere, huh?

My niece went to a famous hospital who's name escapes me while we were in Wisconsin.

I have been to the Mall of America exactly once in the almost 14 years I've lived here. We had out of town guests who really wanted to go. My wife and I met them at the Bubba Gump Fish Company after they had shopped themselves out.

I don't do Monster Malls.
