Charles Rangel
Posted By Thaylin on June 7, 2008
When the bill was trying to be passed to increase the amount of money children get for insurance (or something to that effect) I wanted to watch the process in which it was pushed through.
So I tuned into C-Span and tried to keep tabs on what was going on. Unfortunately, bush vetoed this since I suppose he doesn’t like children having insurance or something.
None-the-less, I discovered that my city has the most awesome representative.
His name is Charles Rangel
Now I could go on about him but intead I’ll give you the link to his wikipedia page .
He’s been arrested three times, that I can see, for various human rights protesting causes. That alone tells me he should be where he is. But watching him on C-Span is the real kicker. The way he responds to certain situations is hilarious. He IS New York. I feel that during Senate meetings he should be sitting in front of a checkered table eating spaghetti and meatballs whilst dealing blows to the republican party.
I've lived in New York for about four years now and before that lived in Detroit where I started my career at Raytheon developing E-Learning solutions. Once I moved to NYC I started with Starwood Hotels and Resorts working initially on Flash for the television and moving to the web dev team after that. I love anything that's random in terms of coding and am constantly thinking about how best to recreate the seemingly randomness of nature. When not having my face stuck in a computer monitor I try to give as much back to the community as possible by donating time to New York Cares taking kids from Queens to various fun and educational activities. I also dig cooking, good beer, and am addicted to TED.
