Me: Witty, sarcastic observer dispenser of satire.

You: Straight guy who appreciates my scintillating observations. Acceptable responses are “good post”, “hmmm” and “excellent post”.

Anything else tends to confuse me and disrupts the harmony of the Universe.

Seriously, I wasn’t sure where you were/are coming from. My apologies.

Please feel free to comment anytime. But please leave the satire to trained professionals like ourselves.

Silly me, I thought satire was an acceptable form of communication here.

Joe, did you actually read this post or do you just kind of find a few key words and go off?

And the thought an elected official might declare some viewpoint JUST to get a potential vote, why that’s just crazy isn’t it?

Maybe we should have a Patriotism Test, and if you fail it, you get booted out of the U.S. And to make sure the Test is always in lock-step agreement with policies – let’s get rid of these divisive elections and have a Monarchy.

As for voting for or against going to War, the Congress abandoned that option going back to the Korean “conflict.” Members of Congress only voted to spend money on a military operation in Iraq.

The last thing America needs are leaders publicly debating the governmental issues. What a horrible effect those debates have on the rest of the world.

In that case, Murtha made a tactical blunder at best, which gives cause to wonder how smart he is as a politician, or tactician.

At worst, he needs to get out more and see how real people — you know, bus riders — react to utterances from the Congressional On-High. Mebbe that would temper his mouth, mebbe not. But then the public would know.

Murtha’s mouth-fart is an argument toward instant votes of no-confidence in Congressmen. Since Al Gore invented the Internet, perhaps he could code a secure, Web-based vote code that would allow consituents to instantly recall a Congressman for being a jackass or a jackoff.

Why wait years — when motivations often subside — for voters to kick a clown or a coward out of office?
