There are times when this nation’s politicians act like they
belong to some s***hole country, to use a recent phrase. This is one of those
times. No wonder polls show Congress less popular that loan sharks or used car
salesmen. And to make it worse, now that they have shut the government down
they seem to be spending most of their energy today posturing for the press
about who is to blame, rather than working the problem. It’s perfectly obvious who is to blame: the
entire Congress, including both parties!
Unfortunately the skills needed to get elected to Congress,
and re-elected (and raise the money for the endless campaigns) apparently are
not the same skills needed to govern effectively.
It’s disgusting. We badly need some adult supervisor in
Washington, but apparently it isn’t going to come from either of the current
political parties.
