There are two things that I don’t get aboot politics, a) why it’s too much to expect our elected officials to read the bills before they sign them, and b) what’s wrong aboot – in the name of transparency (you know, like how Dear Leader promised during the campaign) – voters can’t have time to read the bills themselves. Of course, I know the answers to both questions, but still.

He rallies the Republicans behind him, the party has new energy, and while the Presidential campaign was already lost, we probably would have held on to any House seat we lost by less than 3%.

A gang of Republican Governors have created quite a brou-ha-ha over their decision not to take all of the “
