After I heard about the bridge collapse yesterday evening, I looked at SWWBO and said... "I blame Bush." Tongue-in-cheek commentary on what I expected to find at Daily Kos, were I to look. Sure enough, there it was.
But wait - there's more!
Yes, this is a discussion that needs to happen - and has been needed for *decades.* Because politicians, such as the Senator from West Byrdinia, prefer to build new, so they can get their names plastered on them, rather than plan and appropriate, and yes, if needed, *tax* to support the infrastructure that already exists. In Missouri we have similar problems. But this is a problem that can be laid squarely on a *class* of people, not an individual or a side.
Senator Reid would have better served his broader constituency had he simply apologized for scoring political points in the budget process, and vowed to move forward.
Feh.
A pox on both your posturing houses.
