Two people pass a news stand with the headline "Circus Plans To Stop Using Elephants." Man: At least we'll always have the entertaining antics in Congress.
Back in the days of vaudville, they, like elephant trainers, had a hook to remove bad acts from the stage. We could indeed use that in Congress. Cruz, Rubio, Inhofe and so many of the “new and powerful” with Republican committee appointments, prove the need, indeed.
Gosh, I always thought the Fabians were the good children of the socialist movement. Edith Nesbitt was a Fabian. So was George Bernard Shaw. Oooh, scary.
Thanks for your cogent, detailed, and persuasive argument. It reminds me of a line from a Ring Lardner story:“Shut up”, he explained.I’m so glad to know that it’s not Lenin who was to be feared, not Trotsky, not Mao, but E. Nesbit, that ferocious author of such political propaganda as “Five Children and It” and “The Phoenix and the Carpet”.
You know, there just might be a silver lining to the Tea Party. In order to get anything done, the Republicans might actually have to work with the Democrats.
Churchie: yes, the election is over, and thanks to idiots being allowed to vote, the entire nation HAS lost big. The dumbest of the dumb are now heading committees, with a lot of power, to destroy, and they will. Hopefully the veto pen will prevail.

Across the board clown antics in DC – and they can’t fit into just one car.
