			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://speakerhowellisapuppet.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/cone2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9" src="http://speakerhowellisapuppet.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/cone2.jpg?w=182&#038;h=300" alt="" width="182" height="300" align="right" /></a>&#8230;that, not too long ago, <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Delegate Clark Hogan (R-Righofattillaville)</span></strong> met with longtime Republican political operative <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Kenny Kling</span></strong>.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The skinny</span>: Clark told Kling that the House of Delegates was not going to pass any new transpo funding &#8211; no way, no how &#8211; and that is just the way it is.</p>
<p>Seems the answer to Kling’s inquiry about handling the political fallout was simple:</p>
<blockquote><p><big>&#8220;We may lose a couple of seats in Northern Virginia, but we are willing to do that.&#8221;</big></p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://speakerhowellisapuppet.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/conehead7.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-24" src="http://speakerhowellisapuppet.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/conehead7.jpg?w=42&#038;h=96" alt="" width="42" height="96" align="left" /></a><a href="http://speakerhowellisapuppet.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/coneheadr1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-25" src="http://speakerhowellisapuppet.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/coneheadr1.jpg?w=42&#038;h=96" alt="" width="42" height="96" align="right" /></a>According to an article in the May 15 edition of the Free Lance Star, <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Speaker Bill Howell (R-Falmouth Light)</span></strong> “acknowledges that there are issues with maintenance funding, although he disagrees with <strong><span style="color:#3366ff;">(Gov. Tim) Kaine</span></strong> on how bad it is and how to fix it.”</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>So if Speaker Howell acknowledges the problems, </em><em>why isn’t he willing to deal with them?</em></p>
<p>Perhaps he is not the Speaker… perhaps he is just a puppet.</p>
<p>And, yes, we know that Clark is spelt with an “e”. But maybe Clark took the “e” from Spaker Howell… or from the Spakr Howell or from Spakr Howll.<br />
