Hmmmm.... Let's see....

Last Congress: Indictment and resignation, after indictment and resignation due to massive ethical violations – all on top of an unwillingness to perform their basic constitutional duty of oversight of the Executive.

This Congress: Forced to work 5 days a week (the horror), but gets a Monday off for football.

Gee… sounds about the same to me!

I'm not saying there haven't been significant and serious topics of debate and concern over the last six years. I'm sure that'll continue to be the case in the next two years (and for the rest of all time most likely).

But for the last six years that has been a lot of "the president says 'nukular' and is therefore the most retarted president of all time" and "the Secretary of State was buying shoes the day after Katrina and therefore the president is the most retarded president of all time" and "the president said Paki showing that he is the most retarded president of all time" and on and on and on.

This will be true of the current congress as well. It is easier to pretend outrage over a soundbite than to actually suffer through substantive debate.

Granted, it could be PhotoShopped... It could.

$357,000,000,000 = cost of Iraq war so far. According to CNN.com...

Yeah, but it was worth every penny to be greeted as liberators.

Damn with that much you could buy everyone in the country an iPhone (the 8Gig version of course), plus an Apple-TV and still have money leftover to by moives.

It's also $13,000 per person in Iraq. At that rate I hope we never attack China. That could run to some real bucks.

When you put it that way, mousepod,.....I'm outraged!
