    After 16 years in congress Terry hasn’t made the news much, hasn’t done much of any town hall meetings or made any waves in D.C. Now he’s on the speaking circuit as he soon retires? He’s running for Govenor.

    I’ve only noticed Don Diego de la Vega’s posts since he has posted about how far away the sun is and how close the coal and oil are and similar arguments against solar energy, but I have always thought his posts were satirical. With this one, I’m beginning to think I was wrong.
