Remember all the wailing and gnashing of teeth in August? Apparently Congress doesn’t.
Grab your wallet, and then vote these fuckers out of office in 2010. That’s the only hope America has left. Revolutions cost a lot. I don’t want to have to go down that route. Secession?

Either way, this is going to get uglier before it gets better. I guarantee it.
