Here We Go Round Again...

How many of you are old enough to remember the great Kingston Trio singing, “Here we go, round again, singin’ a song about Molly Dee…†Well, here I go, round again, singin’ a song about Congress. Now this is different, because it’s bilateral—both parties are equally guilty. Here’s a chance to wonder about Congress regardless of your political persuasion. One more time, we can’t get FAA reauthorization. You might remember that some four years ago Congress couldn’t pass the danged thing; therefore they passed an extension so they could—I guess—argue about the problems amongst themselves. Since that time they have passed some 22 such extensions (maybe more—who can keep track?), and now plan to pass another one. Simply put, our Congress has had time to pass extensions one after the other, but has never had time to get the whole thing straightened out. Is that really called “leadership?†Even CNN—not exactly an antiguvmint organization—was heard last week just flat out dog cussin’ Congress. Does Congress have any friends left at all? Old joke, reworded—if you were a member of Congress, would you be liberal or conservative? Frankly, if I were a member of Congress, I’d be ashamed. This is getting downright ridiculous.
