Hopefully Bloomberg can turn $500 Million into a win and we'll have a president who actually accomplished something while being held accountable.
Congress right now is a total joke. Congressmen have to start running for reelection as soon as they are voted in and forget about the Senate. Senators are the crown princes of our society. There is actually very little incentive for Senators to do anything other than worry about being reelected.
People dislike the republicans for their religious connection and the current administration, not so much for their flaunting power -- since they all do it -- but there certainly appears to be an almost measurable smugness as they go about it.
It's really too bad for Bush. He has no chance for being remembered during the next 20 years for anything other than Iraq.
And screw the Democrats. Their campaigning on earmark reform was a sham as they almost all recently declined to publish their own earmarks, choosing to now call it 'legislatively-directed spending' instead of pork. And while everyone agrees immigration reform is needed, the Democrats will fight to the death before allowing something to pass. It's obvious they do not want a solution. They want the issue.
Screw 'em all.
