C-SPAN Follies
Today I spent a lot of time watching C-Span1, 2 and 3. If I had to recount all the stupidity I saw and heard I think I'd throw up.
The House spends two or three hours on a bill regarding the proposal by Mutt that they give him 3.7 billion for the border/child problem. No resolution, no vote, no common sense from any participant. Same with the Senate. And I discover that, true to Washington, they can't pass up adding items to what should be a clean bill. This one carries millions for fire suppression in the West, millions+ for the Israeli Iron Dome , and then whatever is left for the border/child situation. But the money for the border/child situation doesn't even speak to the border, it is all about babysitting services once the kids get here.
You know, I may not have a lot of smarts, but even I know that if you cut the head off a snake it can no longer bite you. But do our bleeding heart senators and representatives even think of that? No, they're too busy campaigning for re-election already, and spit out the same old bullshit we have heard for the past six months, each one with their own little claim staked out and, by golly, don't you dare question my motives.
And then they talked about federal highway funds. And they talked, and they talked. I got so sick of seeing Nicky Joe standing there blustering, and saying nothing, I finally turned it off. Then I find that the former second in command of the Palestinian whatever was speaking, and again, blah, blah blah.
I gave up and went outside and read on a book.
Sounds like a good idea now.
