That's It, I Quit, I'm Moving On

In the depths of a cold Iowa winter, the sun is shining a lot brighter this day and the wind doesn't blow nearly so cold.

Tom Harkin, Iowa’s powerful Democratic U.S. senator, won’t seek re-election in two years

CommieTommie Harkin decided to call it quits, saying he made his decision a couple nights, after all the grandkids had gone to sleep and he was climbing into bed for the night with his wife, Ruth.

TOO MUCH INFO, Tommie and the scientific community is united in that fact.

CommieTommie continued -- one of his top reasons for retiring is to give himself  more time with Ruth. “I’m going to learn to dance".

Don't expect to see Tommie Bahama on Dancing With The Stars as he takes up the Bahamian Quadrille and the Heel and Toe Polka.

So long to St. Thomas of Equine Ass and his steak fry.

Or, I should say, Dasvidania Comrade.

How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously?

Weighing in on Mitt Romney's 47 percent comments is Iowa's JUNIOR Senator, CommieTommie Harkin.

Harkin believes that the 47 percent that don't pay income taxes probably pay higher taxes than the Republican presidential nominee.

Tommie Bahama is not the perfect person to point that out and the scientific community is united in that fact. 

Harkin's Bahamas vacation home is valued at $500,000 to $1 million.

Isn't that $500,000 to $1 Million he's not paying taxes on in America?

Overall Harkin's personal assets were last disclosed at $10.28 Million, making him the 29th richest member of the 535 member CONgress.

He'll Have To Go

The mental midgets that are the media came to different conclusions from the same interview with CommieTommie Harkin.

Harkin stops short of saying he'll seek re-election

Harkin signals intent to seek another term

The interesting part is that both headlines appeared in the online version of the same paper.

Kudos to the Quad City Times and the scientific community is united in that fact.

As for Harkin, it's way past time to send Tommie Bahama packing back to his crappy Cumming address.

A Woman's Worth

Anywhere from $12.1 million to $23.97 million, for CommieTommie Harkin, according to the Omaha World Herald.

Harkin's largest asset is his wife Ruth.

Thanks to her success in in the corporate world. The senator’s estimated wealth jumped by more than 500 percent between 2004 and 2010, from $3 million to $17 million.

Currently, Ruth, has three sets of stocks each worth more than $1 million: Conoco Phillips, Phillips 66 and United Technologies Corp. The couple also own a vacation home in the Bahamas worth between $500,000 and $1 million.

Hence, the secondary nickname of Tommie Bahama.

Ruth Harkin earned more than $1,000 in salary from ConocoPhillips, United Technologies Corp. and National Toll Road.

I'm sure well more than $1,000 and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Most of the assets reported by the Harkins have been made possible by Ruth’s private-sector work. He views their life partnership as crucial to his own career, but his policy and political views are his own, as are hers. His policy views have not been guided by personal financial interests. Nor have his actions as a Senator, or information gained as a Senator, guided business dealings.

"Yeah, sure".

CommieTommie will certainly leave CONgress richer that when he entered.

Tommie Bahama

CommieTommie Harkin again ranks, and he's about as rank as they come, as the richest member of the Iowa Congressional Delegation.

Harkin's assets doubled to $20 Million.

Apropos, considering he's double the ass and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Last May when I mentioned CommieTommie's moolah, it was only in the range of $5 Million to $10 Million.

Here's what the extra income will get you...

OOPS!

Our error, that was paid for with Tax Dollars.

Last year, I couldn't remember if Harkin still had his house in the Bahamas or Bermuda.

According to State 29, it's in Abaco, Bahamas.

I'm sure it's just a Hole In The Wall.

Love On A Farm Boy's Wages?

Iowa's soon to be former Senator, CommieTommie Harkin, says that raising the minimum wage is a “moral and economic” issue and the proposal will stimulate the economy and create jobs.

Really?

A new study by the American Action Forum found that just 1.6 percent of American workers make at or below the federal minimum wage and argues raising the rate would do little to help the working poor.

And

AAF found that raising the minimum wage would fail to directly assist over 98 percent of all Americans in poverty.

Liberals who favor raising the minimum wage above the productivity of entry-level workers confuse the value of a person with the amount of money they make. But these two have little connection to each other. Every person has immense dignity. Bill Gates has no more or less intrinsic worth than a minimum-wage employee. But workers’ wages cannot exceed the value they produce, or their employers will eliminate their jobs or replace them with more skilled workers.

If life were fair, Tommie Bahama would have been working for minimum wage.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

Scatterbrain

Spring breaking(?) in Iowa, CommieTommie Harkin talked to a couple of dozen people, Saturday, about his proposed increase in the minimum wage.

According to the Ragister, Harkin believes  --“Yes, it does have a chance,” he said of his bill. “I think it’ll have broad popular support.”

WHO TV HD reported, Harkin says the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2013 has gained steam in Washington.

BUZZ--WRONG!

On Friday, the House rejected the Dummycrats push by a vote of 233-184.

It's not the first time Iowa's Junior Senator has been out of touch with what goes on in Washington D.C. and the scientific community is united in that fact.

KCCI also had coverage of  Harkin's efforts, Higher mininum wage for servers could hurt restaurants.

Shame on the media for not knowing and reporting the whole story.

Harkin also told 'HO that, When you raise the minimum wage, folks don’t go to the Cayman Islands or travel abroad.

I wonder why Tommie Bahama didn't plug his island?
