It never fails, just when you get bored the friendly cable news will brighten you day with wonder.
Woke up this morning to find out that despite 114 Democrat Congressmen signing a letter asking for Congress to increase the National Debt limit, only 97 voted for to increase it, which of course they were resoundingly defeated in one of the best examples of bipartisanship in recent years. I guess some politicians are getting the message. It remains to be seen if they have the guts to pass a budget to bring this Nation out of debt.
If the Dems counter measures to Republican calls for fiscal sanity are any indicator, then we’ll probably not have any sane budget until the Republicans take both the Senate and the Executive office in November 2012.
Another entertaining Democrat embarrassing event was Anthony Weiner (D-NY) explanation, if you can call it that, of a Twitter message displaying a picture of a man from the waist down in his underpants, going from Weiner’s Twitter account to a young women in Seattle . Weiner’s alleged past deviancies and speculation on a foreign power hacking into his account are probably dead end trails. However, this is a crime and despite repeated calls for Weiner to lodge a criminal complaint with the Capitol Police, they have gone unanswered,… as have a “yes” or “no” answer if Weiner himself was responsible for what the press are calling the “weiner shot”. Weiner – here’s a credibility tip,….. if it is still possible for you to gain credibility,…..if it wasn’t you that posted that Twitter shot then file a criminal complain as we just cannot have Congressmen’s electronic accounts being hacked into to.
