Folks, ya know, neither the Democrats nor the Republicans get it. They just don't understand. We don't care which is right. The Republicans are claiming they forced the Democrats back to the bargaining table. The Democrats are claiming the Republicans were forced back to the bargaining table over the financial reform bill. Now be honest. Do you really care which is right? Are you happy the Republicans won? Or are you happy the Democrats won? That's my point. We don't give a mouse's tail who scared John into doing the right thing. The point is, we'd like for them to give us some legislation that will help stop this super recession kind of thing from happening again, because some greedy SOBs on Wall Street want an extra large bonus. Why is it that both parties have to turn everything into a victory for them and a loss for the other party? Do you care who wins? Is all this a game, like football or soccer? If it's important to all of you who wins, then maybe we should be honest about it and sell tickets to the House and Senate hearings and sessions. There could be vendors walking around selling hot dogs and get yer ice cold beer here. We could have halftime shows with the likes of Janet Jackson and her equipment failure. We could have billboards on the roof of Congress. How about uniforms for the teams with names and numbers so we'll know who's working the crowd. The scoring will be more difficult. But how about two points for a bill passage, three points for a successful filibuster and one point for a veto. But what about penalties. This could go live on FOX and the COMEDY network. Yes, something this big will need two competing coverages. On the one hand you have Hannity calling the plays on the other you have Colbert or Stewart doing the color commentary. The ratings could go through the roof. Team players would all get huge pay increases and we'd actually have a reason for having a Congress.
