What a confidence-inspiring bunch of folks

The news out of Washington this afternoon is that the next stop-gap spending bill - to fund the government past Sept. 30 - failed to pass the House of Representatives. What a thrilling bit of information - that yet again that group of people couldn't agree on funding. Is anyone else tired of this? Round 3 of brinkmanship, except the pawn here is the country, its reputathttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifion, and its people. As Congress is scheduled to go on another recess (do these people actually work?!) tomorrow, they have to pass something by then, otherwise I'm out of a job in a week. Come on people, your vapid behavior is irksome (at least) and damaging.
