I really needed something to laugh at. Jon Stewart to the rescue.

The Affordable Care Act is the law.  It doesn’t have to be negotiated.  It passed both houses of Congress, was signed by the President and affirmed by the Supreme Court, or as Stewart puts it, 9 pre-cogs in magic  robes.

Rocking Shutdown Eve did everything but rock.  It went off with a whimper and a whole lot of pontificating out of  some of the tea party ‘republicans’ in the House of Representatives.  Their hero was nowhere to be seen or heard.  Those who are holding out need to dig out those Constitutions, even if it takes a comic book form and  review how a bill becomes a law.  President Obama addressed the military and assured them that they and their families would be paid.

The behavior of the tea party ‘republicans’ endangers the GOP, endangers the economy, endangers the country, and hurts the American people.  One buffoon suggested on MSNBC that the federal workers should be happy because they get a paid vacation.  Meanwhile, who pays their mortgage?

Several people have begun calling Senator Cruz the new speaker of the house because he bullied and directed congress from the Senate.  That’s not what *I* call him!!

As an aside, my newly acquired congressman was featured in the Stewart montage.  You guessed it, the one making an A-hole of himself.  I cannot win.

    This is so frustrating. The Republican mainstream politicians are letting the inmates run the Asylum.

    Like I have been saying, how would the Republicans have felt if the Dems had held hostage government over Medicare Part D. I’m sorry, I just am disgusted by the likes of Ted Cruz.

    When R’s stand up for their campaign promises – it is called they are standing up for their principles. When Obama is standing up to defend his signature legislation – it is called …. you get the message.

    Amazing that some – like Cruz’s dad – do not want end of life counseling. When I get old – I want to know my options and what each entails. Let me decide how much end of life medical care that I want to go through. If you have ever had a loved one go through medical care to extend their life you will know what I mean. Sometimes our ability extends beyond what is wanted.
