Really?!

I have unplugged this weekend, as I mentioned yesterday.  But this morning I perked up a bit when I heard the "Fiscal Cliff" legislation was voted on and passed.  Of course, this wasn't the end-all-be-all compromise that was really needed to solve anything.  It was just an effort to kick the problem a little further into the future.

And the really upsetting thing for me, at least, is that the entire delegation from my state voted against it--except the one guy that isn't going to be running for re-election.  REALLY?!  Are we really that partisan?  Apparently that is the typical case for politicians around here.  That is unfortunate.

Whatever happened to the statesmen or stateswomen who serve in Washington to do their civil duty and serve The People?  Apparently they have gone the way of Muscle Cars and dinosaurs.  Too bad.  We, The People, could really use those folks right about now.
