The Hour

clipped from www.qando.net So though Nobel laureates can't reach anything resembling a consensus, your former community organizing/car-dealing/ambulance-chasing congressperson has the intellectual capacity to digest a $900 billion piece of legislation in mere days. Amazing. Name a single Iraq war supplemental that wasn't debated to death? You can't? And did you know, that when the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 came before the Congress there were 1,000 hours of debate? So what does the largest and most intrusive spending package in the history of the US get in Nancy Pelosi's House? An hour. One stinking hour. Yup - the same people who are screaming their guts out about the misuse of the first half of the TARP funds are now proposing two and a half times that amount of spending and deem it only worth - an hour. They tell us this is so important to talk about or examine. Instead we must - wait for it - trust them. My goodness, if you're not laughing out loud, you ought to be. Then you should cry.
