The United States is fighting a war on two fronts. In one we are fighting pre-existing terrorism and the other we are fighting civil war terrorism. Our military is stretched thin and there are other looming dangers in the world.
The real estate market is crashing.
Fuel prices are incredibly high and the winter is looming and this promises to have many people suffer greatly.
The health care system is a mess.
And Congress passed a resolution condemning Moveon.org on it's General Petraus ad in The New York Times. Tacky ad to be sure, but didn't the Senate have something better to do. I blame the Democrats on this. They control the floor and to have even let this on the floor to discuss demonstrates dreadful stewardship of their power. The Republicans can't take a bow because they wanted it.
The other day the debate turned to Rush Limbaugh and his phony soldier(s) comment. This was debated and came to nothing.
Give me a break.
First, in the realm of serious discourse amongst serious people, Rush Limbaugh's name does not come up. At best he's an arrogant blow-hard who spins anecdotal tidbits and pretends them to be facts. His mocking of Michael J. Fox and his ignorance of the disease about which he was speaking was monumental. Serious people having serious discourse have long since discounted him.
Secondly, Limbaugh has demonstrated himself to not be the great moral voice he proclaims himself to be. He has been thrice married and divorced. He has made some incredibly racist statements. Of course, there was the drug issues. His Viagra episode was on a return trip from the Dominican Republic, a nation with one of the highest levels of prostitution and under the age of 18 prostitutes in the world. For all of his mocking of Bill Clinton, Rush Limbaugh makes Bill Clinton appear to be ready for canonization.
And the Senate had a debate on this fool. So many big issues and they had a debate about this man. What a waste of time!
Maybe next week they'll take the time to focus their attention on another cultural leading light, Britney Spears.
