Embattled Alaskan Representative Don Young is now like a cornered dog just growling and baring his teeth.

Investigations dogging U.S. Rep. Don Young have not damaged his effectiveness in Congress, the Alaska Republican said Tuesday, and he warned challengers of consequences if they sling rocks during the campaign next year when he runs for a 19th term.

"Those that cast stones better damn well not live in a glass house," he said.

And for those challengers who fail to take Don Young seriously, let me remind you that he bites.

I have recently written a letter to the editor about Ted Stevens and his legal trouble, because I am swiftly becoming the kind of cantankerous middle aged man who is constantly bitching to the newspaper and his few remaining friends about the state of the world and the criminals who run it.

When it gets printed I will post it here, so that you can enjoy my bitching too. I am all about the sharing.
