Rick Renzi Rain Whisper

What’s good about this blogging enterprise is that some of the work gets done for you. For example, I haven’t had the chance to peruse the Rick Renzi indictment, but one of the R-Cubed Legion has (you can peruse it yourself, I uploaded it here).

Sayonara, Rickster

As has been noted by a thousand other bloggers earlier today, Rick Renzi made his expected announcement that he will not run for re-election next year. At least he didn’t claim he did it to spend more time with his family.
The official R-Cubbed Betting Shop and Horchata Bar will be taking bets on which “mentioned” Republican […]
