I guess everybody has had some sort of shot, vaccination or blood-draw. This whole political scene reminds me of some shots I've had in the past. When the needle was stuck in quickly and surely the pain and discomfort was usually less than a slow, leisurely push.
Politically, we've been getting the slow needle for more years than I like to think about. We've cried, we've fussed, we've sworn up and down we'd do something about it... soon. Well, that slow needle is almost all the way in and we're beginning to understand that it isn't going to be pulled out anytime soon. It's gonna get worse before it gets better too. There will be small pockets of open rebellion and government - whether it has an 'R' or a 'D' by it - will move to crush it quickly and ruthlessly.
As is always the case when tyrants seek to keep their boot on the neck of their subjects, there will always be a few to keep the flames fanned.
BLOAT!
This new congress is and will be a disaster: from regulating free speech to throwing up the surrender flag. And now we have the ultimate control freak, RINO mayor Bloomberg, promoting Charles Rangel as a presidential candidate!
