Meet Grant Bosse (CAND, NH-00).

*Not* a typo.

On the principle that if a Congressional District that doesn’t exist can still generate 2,800 jobs (which also don’t exist) thanks to a ‘stimulus’ (which really doesn’t exist), it can generate a Congressman:

See also here. Congressional hopeful Bosse has also called for a national Phantom Congress Movement. There’s already been several people joining up; somebody should start an official website. Or run for their state’s own phantom CDs.

Or, heck, run for real ones.

    I’d run TN05. It looks like Cooper is going to slide through again because there is no serious contender, conservative or liberal. However, I’m no Palin, am dull as dishwater, and a bit on the shy side as well.

    I would be willing to move to … and run for Senate for the great 53rd state of our glorious union ….

    … if I could just figure out where it was ….

    The high school in MA near a house I have got 1.8 million and didn’t create or save a single job….they really seem to just be handing out raises….

    But then the Housing Authority of the town nextdoor got $94,853 and somehow managed ot create or save 22 jobs…..I always thought MA had a minimum wage, but apparently the housing authority is paying in the range of $4500 a year…who says we can’t compete with China….

    This site is more fun than zillow…..

    The Phantom Congress election results might well resemble those reported some 4 decades ago by the chaps from Monty Python:

    Election Night Special

    Recovery.gov = Comedy Goldmine!

    What the hell; after Rahm Emanuel finishes jimmying the census, election results from the phantom congressional districts ought to be just as reliable as those from the real ones.
