David In Indy:
Well, I hope everyone writes their local congressman or woman to express their disappointment. If Congress is brazen enough to pull a cheap stunt like this so early in the year, I'm scared to think of what they might try next.
They can't get away with crap like this. We need to tell them to either get their asses to work or get out of Congress.
First it was bad legislation (or no legislation) from the former Republican controlled Congress. Now it's football games, hotdogs and partying with the new Democratic Congress.
I swear it makes me ashamed to be a Democrat. :(

Oh David, I know exactly how you feel, but it's a little "rose-colored glasses" to think that they can't get away with that. Step back for a moment and think about the actions that have gotten this country in the position it's in now, and those of our past that have caused similar angst. Most os the behaviors that led to those events were, if not illegal, highly immoral, yet no one is in jail we speak for those things. I certainly advocate speaking out, but we have to realize, there are two different systems of judgement in this country: one that judges the end in itself and one that uses means to justify an end.

Well, fine then...I'll just talk to myself! It's not like it's THAT different from usual! :)
So..for the past 5 hours I've been doing my manic madwoman imitation trying to do 1001 things before this WVa trip! And I think I'm done for today. The two lists and random post-its are dealt with; there's a new tomorrow list. But I'm sure I'm forgetting something vital.
And why your blog, but not mine, you might ask??? I dunno. It's nicer here despite the dumbass mules Congress.

You're absolutely right, David. And I will definitely start having fun tomorrow at approximately 6 pm EST because that's when I will get to Chattanooga to meet Wayne and the fun part is scheduled to start. It says so right there in my Daytimer.
