1. what the american people see---while one side is working its bright orange butt off trying to cut spending, the other is resorting to hate speech (trying to kill women, like bombing innocent civilians, the equivalent of the civil war) to protect one of its sacred porky pigs
2. what the american people see---in times like these, any govt employee deemed non essential shouldn't be shutdown for a day or a week but must instead be eliminated permanently
3. how can any party in power contemplate for an instant the consideration of our soldiers as non essential, especially at a time when we have been committed to the waging of three wars overseas
4. that said, congratulations to president obama on this past-midnite resolution of the budget it was his responsibility to do a year ago, his victory lap address at 11:30 last nite was resonant, congrats on this "biggest annual spending cut in history," and your testimonial to yourself about overseeing the new years eve extension of the bush tax cuts for all americans including the rich was your coup de grace
5. so forward we go---what will be your position, mr president, when the upcoming fights over the debt ceiling and the 2012 budget approach their midnites
6. you know where the bright orange dude and his nerdy budget chair will be, they're constant
7. it's the sign of the times, keynes is kaput, draconian cuts are chichi, from albany to sacto there's no stopping em
8. the president's 2012 budget proposal published in february is, therefore, precisely the wrong recipe for the age
9. the guarantee of an up-or-down floor vote in the senate on hr2, repeal of obamacare, conceded by mr reid as part of the outline agreed upon for october, just might cost a senator like claire mccaskill her job, what's a man like joe manchin, for example gonna do who campaigned in west virginia on repeal, a stiffneck like nebraska's ben nelson is practically gonna have to vote to kill it or change parties or resign
10. and the stand-alone vote on planned parenthood, a very seamy organization, also promised by reid, aint gonna be pretty---what will americans see when senator schumer swears never, never, never will he cut the quarter billion per while mom and pop are boiling up another bag of top ramen for tommy and tess for the twentieth nite in a row
it was a good nite
americans are finally seeing at least a little leadership out of washington
