Republicans are the Mean Girls, while Democrats continue to vie for Miss Congeniality.

I think we need to pursue our goals as ruthlessly and single-mindedly as they pursue their goal
of trying to ensure that nothing gets done.

If only all the different factions of Dems could find a way to come together for the greater good, can you imagine the
changes that could actually be wrought?

1. I'm just glad

that there's a way we can frame this that relies on multiple negative stereotypes of women. :)

2. How about the Republicans are the low IQ Jocks and the Democrats are

the nerds who actually get things right because they are smarter and more compassionate? Yet the jocks will bully and beat up the nerds every time. You notice I didn't do any gender stereotyping here because jocks and nerds come in both sexes.

I know what you mean but it did come across as sexist.

3. I try to pretend that "the fix is in" is just a comedy routine...

but after a while, you begin to wonder.

4. I know. I'm just waiting for Obama to say, "OK, no more Mr. Nice Guy..." and plow ahead,

with or without them.

I love his wit and finesse, and love his heart, but I'm so frustrated
and enraged with the Rethugs at this point, I want blood!
