I love the arrogance these assholes throw off and the total disregard for the folks they are representing. We’re just a bunch of dumbass morons anyway, I mean, why should they worry about reading and understanding the DAMN bill???? God, they are killing me. They just scoff at us. And now they are threatening each other with “working” on Christmas Day. Oh please. Just gag me. They don’t work the other 364 days, so why the hell should Christmas Day matter?

Oh yeah. I would love to see Ben Nelson call BS on that one. Would LOVE it.

Fingers crossed for the best of Beltway gridlock in my Christmas stocking.

WOW. No, I hadn’t heard that.

I sympathize with a mutual friend of ours when he says “not a dime’s worth of difference” in reference to Republocrats, because neither party has any respect at all for the Constitution anymore.

But–BUT! there is better and worse. I think the possibility of a Libertarian takeover of the Beltway in my lifetime is remote, to be charitable. But I can vote “better.”

(Actually, I think my dad had it right when I was in college and discussing politics with him, and he said “I almost don’t give a damn as long as the White House and Congress aren’t held by the same party.”) Smart guy, that one.

Did you see the report that the Nebraska senator was threatened with the placement of Offutt on the Base Closure list? Nevermind the strategic importance of whatever the purpose of that base is, we’ll just use it as a political pawn because we have no earthly idea what the military does anyway.
