The Clueless Congress

This session of Congress has already made a name for itself as one of the least-accomplished in recent history. Now, even when it does accomplish something significant, it manages to botch it badly.

Yet another embarrassing post from this ideological abyss of the right. Congress has done nothing?! Of course it has an opposing President, which is never mentioned. And it overlooks all the important bills that have indeed been passed lately, e.g. on energy conservation and raising the minimum wage, when it's only been in session for scarcely half a year. The investigations into White House corruption are surely more important than say, Monicagate, which I'm sure these readers supported. This is bottom of the barrel reading for angry rightists beyond the pale.

It didn't take this story to see that the Congress is poorly led and is spending far too much time "investigating" non-issues, like the eight attories firing. They are so devisive that it is unlikely that they will ever do things in a time honored logical way! Shame!
