Too Progressive

Okay so I have a few questions here. First of all, if we’re in the midst of such an economic disaster why is Congress just up and taking the day off tomorrow? Yes I realize it’s a Jewish holiday which leads me to another whole host of questions. It’s not a recognized federal holiday and whatever happened to separation of church and state? And I don’t mean this as a swipe at the Jewish community at all (I’d be saying the same thing if it were any other religious holiday, and not totally because I’m more or less Agnostic). I mean, I guess I’d be taking the day off too if there really were no problems for me to be solving which Congress is inadvertently admitting by taking the day off tomorrow. I stand by what I said earlier today: the real problem here is that there is no problem.

After all, George Bush is leaving office in just a few months anyway, can’t we just take that and be thankful for it? Not try and give him $700 billion just to shut up over the holidays?
