Let it fail. Everyone including the people wanting to give away our money will feel it that way. It’s time even for DCer’s to feel the pinch they personally installed into our society.

How about you just pass a message along to your buddy Graham to quit selling the rest of us out to Wall Street while filling 400 pages with palm grease?

But If all that’s available is a cookie, then that’ll be a nice consolation prize.

Ha! Good eye on the “senate chamber” mistake. Look at the flags, though; that is actually the senate chamber of Argentina.

Oops.

But anyway…
The only thing that could manage to piss me off more than an artifically inflated crisis being used to enrich those with the incompetence to cause the crisis, it’s the piggybacking of pork onto the magical-fix-it-all bill to buy off everyone’s votes and make it happen.

Isn’t that McCain’s thing? Pretend to be a fiscal conservative by whining about millions of dollars of pork when the deficit is hundreds of billions of dollars? Where’s his whining now?

That picture is of the old Senate chamber. The new one, while not exactly new, is bigger, and rectangular. So you just Googled “senate chamber,” and this was a picture that came up? Wow, nice work, Fogle.
