It is no secret to anyone that our "beloved" United States Congress, supposedly a collection of reasonably intelligent citizens elected by their peers to run the nation, is in reality a stagnant bunch sophomoric jokers, most of whom beat their breasts in the media screaming, "I'm the most conservative of all."
Meanwhile the good old USA is sinking further and further into a economic and social quagmire.
Everyone has seen, at one point or another, footage of a community of chimpanzees. Our distant evolutionary cousins occasionally are all roused from their normal routine and begin screaming and thrashing about in response to whatever gets them riled up.
It's eerie how much Congress resembles these chimps every time someone mentions the words, "budget," or "deficit."
The biggest difference I can see in a community of chimps and Congress is that at some point the chimps say their piece, get their point across, and then return to normal activity and resume their appointed rounds. Sadly, Congress doesn't seem to be capable of mastering this. Your representative, and mine, continue to beat their chests and point fingers at the guys on the other side of the aisle.
I vote we borrow a page from history. While Congress is in session let's sneak in, chain the doors shut, and send in only food and water until these erudite citizens, who we elected to get something done, actually get something done.
