praise congress!

right now as i write this, c-span is on the tv, and everyone is debating a bill to end the war in iraq. almost all the congresspeople are speaking in favor of this bill to end the war, and just a few are speaking against it. i know of no better time to sing the praises of congress. now apparently i think the senate tried to do a similar measure recently but didn’t have 60 votes so the republicans blocked it with a filibuster threat. at least the house of representatives is democratic. i hope they don’t give the president another blank check in september like they did earlier this year. if they do, i will think twice about it before i ever trust them again. but right now, i am liking what i am hearing from them on c-span, and i think congress deserves our support. let’s get congress’s approval rating higher than president bush’s! they at least deserve that much, since they are certainly doing a much better job than our brain-dead president.
