Sometimes I long for the days when Congress actually did the people's business, but then I remember who is in the current Congress, and the thought of them actually doing things terrifies me.

Isn't the real goal a government that does nothing?

I suppose we should be relieved that they haven't made more things worse.

I actually do sail. And if you cant make it out of the harbor, well I hope you invested in some emergency equipement. If they were capt, I'd be swimming for shore. And if I was stuck on a boat with these people I'd be overboard even if I was 500 miles offshore.

Being a real true to life boat Capt. I sense they are on a rerun trip of the Titanic rather than a damn smooth sailing adventure.They readily resemble the fucking SS Minnow without Ginger or Mary Ann

<i>"If we can just get to sea, then maybe once we start sailing, get that main sail up, it will be a lot smoother ride.”</i>

You do know why they invented harbors, right?

Nice try fellas, but now it's time to start campaigning for re-election. If you stay in office, you can try again in January 2017.

At some point on this Republican ship of state, Wilson will fall overboard and float away. But instead of crying out "Wilson! Wilson!", the Republicans will shrug. "Good riddance. He was dividing us."
