disturbing the comfortable

The stimulus bill has been, sort of, approved. The Republicans are snarling about many aspects of it, mostly because they know in their hearts their own policies are what got us to this point. The line I like best is from some Repu who said he didn't want to mortgage our children's future...yeah, like what the fuck did they do concerning the war and the biggest deficits ever encountered by human beings? They mortgaged the hell out of the future.

Is Rush Limbaugh the top Republican these days? Apparently he believes he is, seriously. Could it be the viagra has gone to his head instead of his dick—assuming those are two different places? Is he back on pain pills? Was he ever off of pain pills? Would he exist without either pain pills or viagra? Or without cigars? A rabble-rousing raggedty-brained fool is the head of the GOP? Yeah, sounds right. Once the shock and awe of utterly failed policies sets in, anything is possible.
