C-SPAN - The Site for Congressional Drama

All right America.  Breathe in...2-3-4...breathe out...2-3-4.  Again.  Breathe in...2-3-4...breathe out...2-3-4. Again......

Feel more relaxed now?  Less of an angry villager, torches ablaze?  Good.

Now I know we've been through an ordeal and whether you agree that the opposition are Hobbits or not (frankly, I think it's a slur on the Hobbits) the ugliness is over at least til after Labor Day.  Then the bickering will resume but no one will be wearing white.

They all need a massive time-out. Some of them a massive time out of office.

What's with all the drama?  Monday morning: one party steps up to the microphones to say their idea is best and they won't budge. Hold that thought, because momentarily the other party does exactly the same.  Tuesday morning:  one party steps up the microphones to say their idea is best and they won't budge.  It's like "Groundhog Day" without the levity.  Fans of the soaps are lamenting their cancellation.  Cheer up. All the drama has moved to C-SPAN.

Whose idea was the debt ceiling countdown clock?  It felt like a game show prop. I sat waiting for a senator to buy a vowel.

Why do we vote for these morons?  What do they actually do on a daily basis?  Could you hem and haw, use such histrionics and be that indecisive on your job?  I venture to answer for you a resounding "no". 

Thank goodness for August. Things are quieter, more relaxed.  It'll give me time to read up on this blasted credit downgrade and to decide for myself whether it actually does signal the end of the world as we know it.
