Do these people work, or do they have clocks that run on a different standard?

The Orange County Register featured a chart in its Thursday edition showing 87 hours and 32 minutes remaining of the infamous first 100 hours of the Demofiends’ takeover of Congress–and our pocketbooks.  That means they’ve worked less than 13 hours since starting on Jan. 8.    I’m beginning to get the feeling that those 100 hours somehow won’t magically expire until the 2008 presidential election.  Nice ploy.

Now if the Democrats really cared about the American working class (and if they did, they wouldn’t have passed the endless, nonstoppable tax increase known as Paygo), they’d revisit that disastrous bankrupty bill that the banks, Bush and the now vanquished Republicans passed, the very same bill that Bill Clinton had the good sense to veto.  Retracting this mean-spirited, one-sided bill would be an achievement the Dems could really crow about. 

Whaddya think, though?  The Demofiends take bank lobbyists’ money just like every other politician, so they ain’t gonna do nothing except find ways to tax and spend, which is about the only thing they know how to do–besides creating monolithic bureaucracies and outlawing religious expression, smoking, guns and liberal thoughts (as in the classic definition of individual freedom and economic laissez faire).

As Ronald Reagan once quipped, and I paraphrase, “When the Democrats blow smoke, do like Bill Clinton and don’t inhale.”
