Stay Out of the Doghouse

Got a link to this funny JC Penny Ad from a friend. Warning: There is one "tv friendly" bad word in the video that I heard.

Sick and Tired of Waste-Our-Time-And-Money Bills and Resolutions

I'm sick and tired of how Congress wastes our time and money between pork-barrel spending and "press release" bills and resolutions that do nothing. The current resolution that has me upset was introduced by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX). It's a reaction to the anti-General Petraeus ad run in the New York Times by MoveOn.org. The resolution is a "Congress supports our troops" message while also being an attack on MoveOn.org. In short, it's a move by Republicans to make Democrats choose between "I don't support our troops." and "I'm not liberal enough." The big news? Sen. Clinton (D-NY) and Sen. Dodd (D-CT) both "hate our troops", Sen. Biden (D-DE) "doesn't care enough to vote at all", and Sen Obama (D-IL) "won't say whether he's not liberal enough or if he hates our troops." Perhaps it's both.
