    WTF, man? That is the status quo in Washington. Bullshit from start to finish, day in, day out, day after day, for the past - what? 240 years or so? Name something actually IMPORTANT that congress has dealt with, effectively, since the Declaration of Independence? If/when they deal with an issue that is NOT bullshit, they are always a day late, and a dollar short, and usually in the wrong damned place.
