Aw crap, what's the point...

Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell said “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.” He didn't say improve the healthcare system, create jobs, reduce the deficit, repair our crumbling infrastructure, manage the permanent war (let's be realistic) on terror, increase support for education and research (while not just throwing money at them) or anything remotely statesmanlike. Electing a Congress of nothing but Democrats would be a disaster, but Republicans, and their retarded cousins, the Tea Party, truly trigger my gag reflex. Quit whining, America. Quit complaining in broad meaningless terms. You're starting to sound like those bobbleheads on Fox. Go to your congressperson's website. Find out what they are doing. Tell them what you like and what you don't like. Be specific. It'll take you twenty minutes.

Snippet

"You know what I think?"
"What? You mean that this last half hour has been someone else's opinion?"

Thought for the day

Capitalism does not have a conscience.

Life

Perhaps it is all fiction, but alas, I am a reader.

Recurring

Always, always thrust into the room. Day after day with the lights blazing. Always the scene replaying with photorealistic intensity. And still the bills must be paid. And always the job must be done. Everything else a joke of importance. And never an end in sight.

Curioser and curioser

Why do I receive all of these cryptic comments from China? I do not understand any of them. They should spend their time doing something productive, like watching episodes of "House".
