Brief Comfort

Oy vey. This is not good.

But here's my solace. Remember when the progressives were in charge of the House and they had all these great ideas and they got stalled in the Senate? Well, now the conservatives (to put it generously) can have all these ideas they love and they can ALSO get stalled in the Senate!

Now, I'm not saying gridlock is a good idea. But it might be the better option here.

Oy!

And now, KITTENS!!

I know. You love cats with their tongues stuck out. How much cuter is this cat than John Boehner?

Tiny little kitten in the trash pile by a construction site. So teensy!

(May the Republican power in the House be as big and scary as this kitten.)

And here's a quick diagram about our political state.

Here's an adorable little kitten. Let's name her Hopey Changey. And here's a dog. Let's call him Goppy.

The cat sees a big scary dog. The dog feels big and scary. What neither of them realizes (because they're not very smart) is that the dog has a big plastic muzzle on.

But the dog sees the kitten. The kitten tries to look scary, but we all know she's terrified. And Goppy is confident despite not being able to say anything clearly (due to the muzzle and reduced intellect). And....

Oh no! Hopey Changey has hopped into a nearby tree!! She's so scared and little and high off the ground! How will she ever get down?

Indeed, Hopey Changey. How will you?

So, do you feel better now?
