I know a lot of you may hold Congress in contempt, but on Thursday Congress voted to hold someone else in contempt. Here's what happened:
PRELUDE
10:01 They are praying to their lord.
10:04 They are pledging to their flag under God.
10:04 Rep. Grijalva is lauding the guy who led the prayer and the late Congressman Lantos.
Get your pro-contempt phone calls in ASAP.
10:06 Rep. Marsha Blackburn is hyping a college basketball team. That thing Congress prays to had better help them if they ever touch steroids!
10:07 Rep. Earl Blumenauer is denouncing Bush-Cheney proposal to slash funding for public broadcasting, which he says will deny public broadcasting to rural areas.

By the time Congress acts upon the lawlessness of this administration, the nation will be in complete depression and there will be food riots in the streets. by daveys (9 articles, 0 quicklinks, 22 diaries, 272 comments [20 recommended, 2 rejected]) on Thursday, Feb 14, 2008 at 2:22:47 PM  (0+)

slow as a snail
If Americans worked like congress, nothing would get done. Just think, if Henry Ford worked like congress, we'd still be walking and riding horse. Americans need to go to the the Hill, and get stuff done. Let Congress take a vacation for a year, while we get 'er fixed! I'm ready for a nap. by shirley reese (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 592 comments [98 recommended, 1 rejected]) on Thursday, Feb 14, 2008 at 5:20:57 PM (0+)
