The 'Dumb as a Box of Rocks' 109th Congress

Actually, I'd vote for the rocks. Couldn't be any worse.

Time to bring in Leonard Pinth Garnell to introduce today's "truly dreadful" episode of "Bad 'Representative' Government," because it "really bit the big one" today...

I'll let you link over for the sordid details, but I'm struck by the monumental--or, when I'm feeling a bit more hopeful, dinosaurean--levels of stupidity embodied by GOP officials, who are also playing, if not Kabuki theater (like their top clown--see below), then, at the very least, going through enough ritual to make a Japanese tea ceremony seem like a night at the improv.

And, when they're not engaged in this truly sick spectacle, they act as if we're a bunch of children.

I've got news for Congress: this ain't Little League, and neither we nor the soldiers they've allowed to be sent off to die are little kids--though, in punting away THAT particular responsibility--that is, declaring war--Congress as a whole made a statement about THEIR relative level of maturity.

At this point, Congress would be doing the country a favor if it stuck to things like "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin." Because that's pretty much their connection to reality at this point.
