++Just when I thought Congress might do decent things as they did with the Senate voting to forward the repeal of Citizens United, Ezra Klein at the Vox ruins the atmosphere by reminding us all that Congress only has four full legislative work-days scheduled in the next 9 weeks! That's 4 days in 9 weeks. Oh, Ezra says in his reasonable manner, they can always schedule more. Sure. Do you know what fat chance means?
++This Congress is on record and I am sure they will make it--to become the least productive Congress in the history of the United States.
++So I want to know why the traffic reporters blame the traffic on Congress being back in Session. They aren't there.
++They still have to pass a temporary funding bill or else the government shuts down. The conservatives in the House want to wage battle on the Export-Import Bank, which has been around since 1934 and doesn't cost anything.
++Do you think they'll vote on anything President Obama proposes on ISIS and war in the Middle East?
++This has gotten ridiculous. Why do we listen to these guys on all the talk shows and Sunday News Shows when they are simply AWOL? Why doesn't Sweeney Todd ask one of his guests--"Why should anyone listen to you since you are never doing your job?"
++Think about the political campaigns? Is there a single thing being debated that really could be done?
If you think the American citizen has no say in issues of war and peace,then it's even worse that the elected representatives don't even try.
++Do yourselves a favor. Turn off the TV. Don't listen to a single political ad. But vote. Vote for someone you think actually cares about the common good if you can find that candidate.
