The do-nothing Congress should be commended for convincing the country they are only interested in staying on the job and getting the backing from Grover Norquist in the next campaign. Congress should pass a law that those who are elected may not hold a pledge for any dictates by any organization outside the Federal Government. I really wonder at anyone in this country that can believe Boehner and McConnell can speak what they say with a straight face as they say that Obama offers no plans while they are offering to give in so much! It does make me wonder what kind of mushrooms they are eating.

| David Brooks |
On Meet the Press this week, it was uplifting to hear a journalist speak proper English and use descriptive words rather than slang and derogatory language as so many do for lack of a broad enough vocabulary. David Brooks was on the Meet the Press Panel and described the behavior of the Congress, carefully mentioning that he was referring more to the Republicans than the Democrats, as shambolic. It is a extremely fitting label for the Republicans, for sure...and it may even fit a few Democrats. I am told a few of them also signed the Norquist pledge.
In that Brooks has always leaned pretty far to the right, it is nice to hear a journalist who can speak reality, regardless of his own wishes.
