Thanks for sharing.

Now, that's the point.

Hopefully the lines in the sand will blow away and all will sit at the campfire.
elizabeth evans Jun 6, 2012, 8:22pm UTC
I can't see that happening, John. I imagine Congress would just argue how to start the fire, what kindling to use, and what wood produces the most heat.
Chris Brockman Jun 6, 2012, 8:25pm UTC
Yes, but we can hope that they figure out if they don't sit too close and turn around once in a while, they'll all get more benefit from what the campfire was for in the first place.

To paraphrase an old quote, "Old men start the fires and young men put them out."

I know, Bob. I'm an optimist, but not that optimistic!

All done by Means testing no less? HAHA LOL - good one :-)))

I get your meaning, Bernard. Thanks.

You sure hit that gleaming, larger-than-life nail on the head. Such a shining example they set for the rest of us! :)

Yeah, just imagine if we all acted like that.
Gary (The Eclectic) Timothy Jun 7, 2012, 9:43pm UTC
LOL! But mean as in nasty, or just not so hot? ;-)
Chris Brockman Jun 9, 2012, 3:39pm UTC
Yes.
William Dotani Jun 26, 2012, 1:16am UTC
Amen, Amen, Amen, sadly today's truth.
G.M. Jackson Jul 28, 2012, 1:38pm UTC
LOL! Too bad Congress isn't lean as well as mean.
Chris Brockman Jul 28, 2012, 2:53pm UTC
One thing they're good at is the meaning of life.
