I mean really. You count on these people to be deliberate and
somewhat aloof from the whims of the populace. The House should
be where this really populist legislation flares up and fizzles out
once Heroes comes on or the clock strikes 4:20. But no,
it would appear that we have a sufficient number of pandering oldsters
in this august body to allow for a completely stupid piece of
legislation to pass.
So they want our troops out by March 2008? Wonderful! Now
the terrorists have a goal to meet and can finally update their
planners:
March 2008 -- Celebrate American withdrawal. Fire AK-47. Lunch with Kasim. Makeovers!!!!
The only consolation is that the "November Mandate" doesn't give them enough votes to overturn a veto.
So, what have the Democrats gained here? Will their base finally
shut up? Can their barely attained plurality possibly translate
into anything but deadlock on all but the safest of legislation?
Or will the Republicans vote against the Kitten-Puppy Eye Gouging Regulation Act?
It would be politically unpopular, but the last thing any thinking
person wants is Big Government in their animal torture. Over Mr. Snuffles's dead body, Pelosi.
