And It Came To Pass
That we now have a resigned Pope [dowager Pope, retired Pope, Pope emeritus ??] and will be sequestered.
This means that two groups of grumpy men will gather in two location [the Vatican and Washington] and make some totally political decisions. At least the Clan of the Red Beanie have a ‘man’ on hand to deal with the fire, as fire is probably too advanced for them to understand the concept. Congress isn’t trusted with fire, so no worry there.
The whole concept behind the ‘sequester’ was to force a deal, and now that there has been no attempt to actually do that, maybe we can stop with the stupid gimmicks and just deal with these manufactured crises when they occur, instead of just kicking them down the road for raw political reasons.
Boehner wants everyone to forget that budget bills have to originate in the House, and is trying to pass the buck to the Senate and the Executive. Maybe he should consider becoming Speaker emeritus, and let someone else deal with his circus ,,, caucus.
