Have you ever had the feeling whilst playing a computer game that the game is purposely changing the rules or cheating so that you cannot win? I just had that feeling and to my horror I just stated this piece of crazy out loud to Todd. Now, in my defense...OK I have no defense. I have decided that it is time to put the game down, step away and do something else.
I will now go on my rant about pundits and politics. Well, well, Messrs. Obama and Beohner aren't you proud of yourself you have successfully not shutting down the government. Although it did take you literally to 11th hour to not shut down the federal government. I am not mad at the two of you because you played chicken with our government like two bullies on a playground. No it is not that Mr Beohner is apparently the bitch of the "tea party" and decided now was the time to de-fund every thing that the Republican and crazy right-wingers don't like, Public Broadcasting, Planned Parenthood etc. Or that Mr. Obama doesn't want to actually step into the fray and cut some spending or god forbid raise taxes to pay for our government. No, No, it is none of these things it is that I had to for two weeks listen to every idiot on the so called news channels talk about what the other side is doing wrong without thought or insight. I am sorry these people do not actually care about what they say if Obama wanted to cut 60 billion dollars and Beohner wanted only 32 billion the pundits would switch sides.
Sort of like Newt Gingrich's ever changing view of our newest war in Libya, Obama goes in guns blazing Newt is against it, Obama doesn't do anything Newt is against that. Wait Newt you can't actually be against non action and action at the same time. I will be honest I don't think that we should be just bombing Libya I am sorry it is a half commitment. If you are going to commit to military action make the commitment and actually protect people. Doesn't anyone remember Bosnia I am sorry a no fly zone did not stop anyone from being killed en masse. Commit to it or don't just don't take half measures.
Oh and by the way the federal deficit is not the worst thing that has ever happened to the United States. The U.S. is not going to collapse because of the federal deficit. DON'T get me wrong it is not a great thing but we have survived a war for independence, a civil war, 2 world wars, a great depression, and numerous natural disasters, we can survive a federal deficit. Oh by the way I am pretty sure no one has ever died because of federal deficit.
Todd is saying we need to go out so time to sign off
