We've listened to this yowling long enough . . .
I just wish Congress would just be responsible and take care of this already!!

You mean you expect responsible behavior? From politicians? It would be nice, but I'll believe it when I see it.
Cheers.
I know, Randall--you'd think I'm asking for the moon. Really, though, I'm just asking that they both get poor Kitty out of there and, you know, throw in a bit to fix that hole in the ceiling (investment in infrastructure, dontcha know).
No way.
Not until the absolute last second; not until each side has made enough bathetic grand gestures guaranteed to wring tears from an orphan’s dog; not until they work a ‘deal’ that minimizes actual effectiveness while maximizing their personal public exposure;
Not ‘til the cows come home and Boehner cries.
Then they’ll be done.

Yeah.
There's got to be some way of altering election cycles--I'm thinking in particular of the two years for Representatives--so that they don't have this awful effect on policy-making. Maybe 3-year terms for them? Of course, that "something" is an amendment to the Constitution . . .
In the meanwhile . . . that poor kitty . . .
