I trace some of it back to learned behavior from watching Congress flounder and cast blame for the last 30 years or so. Sure the executive branch has had more than its share of idiots, but what can you say about a group that sits and whines when it has the controlling majority in both the House and Senate? Too many lawyers and professional politicians in the place for my liking, I'm sad to say....

On the Tory Hq raid, I am shocked, shocked I say, that such a thing would be suspected of them. Brian has assured me there is no there there...
