most crappiest bill ever. and the fucker passed! (latter link via filkertom's journal, on a tip from phurie_dae)


I just. who the hell writes this shit? and more importantly, who the hell votes for this shit? because look, I know it's an election year, but since when was that an excuse for senators to act like SCRABBLING CIRCUS ANIMALS WITH HORRIFYINGLY UNIDENTIFIABLE MORALS AND/OR INTEGRITY on the floor?

...oh, wait. that's been going on for a while, now, hasn't it? *facepalm*
(NB: I am generally in support of the whole US government system, when it works or comes close to working [even -- or perhaps especially -- when it defaults to extended periods of Resentful Glares and Thumb-Twiddling between sides]. this is not working.)


mama's going to call me after she finishes at the hospital and we'll brainmash about it (or rather, I'll fly off the handle and she'll calmly and coolly employ her professor-fu to make it so I can actually sleep tonight), and I'll hopefully be more clearheaded after that.

I think it's been going on since before the civil war. Or at least crazy stuff going down at Congress in general.

At least they're not beating people up on the floor yet.

YET.

ohmans, congress is a wacky, wacky place.

I half wish something like that would happen 'cause maybe people would actually start to notice what Congress is doing.

I thought you would apprecaite some Mark Twain...

"Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself."

"It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native criminal class except Congress."

more twain-induced giggles here. :D
