Is it just me or does anyone else feel surreal watching the utter bullshit going on with the House and the Senate?
While Bush and his puppet master, Cheney, were busily destroying the economy, killing off people in Louisiana, shredding the Constitution, and bringing us into an illegal war these Congresspeople sat on their asses and never uttered a whimper. I can count on ONE lousy hand the people who dared to stand up and protest anything the previous administration did, but enough about Kucinich, Feingold, Wexler, Waxman, and Bernie Sanders.
Now that President Obama is taking over, all of a sudden they’re ALL awake and ready to do battle—with their own side. From the refusal to seat Roland Burris as the Senator from Illinois to the latest complaints about Obama’s stimulus package, the voices are babbling now. Oh boy. Nothing like getting a DEMOCRAT in the White House to get these DEMOCRATS all riled up. Jeezuz.
I know a giant foot isn’t going to come down (ala Monty Python) and squish the suddenly revived members of our governing body, but a girl can dream, can’t she?

Democrats: herding cats
harry reid is an idiot. He’s a mole for the GOP.
No big foot, but lots of shoes! Didn’t we just know that someone was going to do this? Bush’s true legacy.
MONDAY, JANUARY 19th
11:00am CONVERGENCE followed by SHOE THROWING AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Why Shoe Bush?
Our president stood in a nation he had illegally invaded and occupied, where his actions had caused over 1.2 million deaths, 5 million people forced out of their homes, millions more deprived of electricity or clean water and afraid to walk the streets. He stood smiling in a nation he had transformed into a living hell, a place where everyone had seen loved ones and neighbors killed. And when Muntadar Al-Zeidi threw two shoes at him, our president remarked “I don’t know what his beef is.”
But billions of people around the world believed that the pretended obliviousness of George W. Bush to the pain and suffering he was inflicting had gone on as long as they could stand if not much longer, and Al-Zeidi became a hero overnight. His two shoes punctured the Bush veil of separation, the distance Bush pretends to imagine exists between his decisions and the human limbs scattered in the sand of his colony. And while the U.S. media pretended to wonder whether the water torture was “really” torture, the United States and its puppet government in Iraq inflicted on Al-Zeidi one of the more commonly employed torture techniques of the Bush regime: they beat him and broke his bones.
We have a president-elect who can save himself from engaging in criminal wars and occupations, in torture and other war crimes, in warrantless spying and other violations of our Constitution, only by prosecuting the actions of his predecessor. Not to prosecute is itself a crime. If we are going to persuade the president elect, we must first persuade the U.S. media, and the U.S. media is not attracted by facts and information. The U.S. media is attracted by throwing shoes.
