It's so depressing to watch. Even worse to be paying for.

I do not envy you on that - what a pity for such a wonderful land.

All that and still the best country in the world.

In your eyes, not in a good many others.

No, not in my eyes, objectively, by any reasonable measure.

Not much to be proud of here anymore. Graft grabbing legislators who
do nothing. For instance, a rebate from the almighty to spur the
economy. Except the poor and the elderly won't get as much, if any, than
someone making 70 grand a year.
I'm on soc sec and I got a cost of living raise this year. Whoopee,
they also raised the amount they take out for Medicare so I got a net
gain of 30 bucks a month. My senator got a raise of 375 bucks a month
and he/she doesn't have to pay for any medical!
And now what do we have to choose from for a new prez?
Lets see.........A lady( her denomination is the dollar) who spent
eight years in the senate and got only one important piece of
legislation passed, 100 million to build a museum for Woodstock!
An islamic black man with absolutely no experience in government or
foreign affairs
An ambulance chasing methodist lawyer
A baptist geriatric ex pow who swings with the tide better than a boat
at anchor
A Roman Catholic mayor who happened to be in charge when terrorists
attacked even tho he was probably in bed with one of his honeys at the time
A mormon wall street investor, I wonder where his loyalties will lie
A baptist guvner with a funny name that loves taxes

Yeah, pretty bad, eh. But like Churchill said. Democracy is the worst
form of government, except for all the others that have come along so far.
