As you may (or may not) have noticed, I’ve been more than a little silent on what’s going on in Washington DC lately. That’s been a deliberate choice.
Basically, I’ve come to the conclusion that this Congress is utterly incapable of doing anything that substantively goes agains what the Bush White House wants. Nothing I can say or do is going to change that. And I’m tired of shouting down an empty well.
Let’s see what happens after the elections. If there is some real change in the makeup of Congress, then we can talk about things like unconstitutional torture bills and all the other travesties that this Congress is pushing down our throats. But for now I’m going to hold my fire and reserve my ire.
2008 isn’t all that far off. If we all burn out now, we won’t have any resources to fall back on for that battle. So consider me a member of the reserves for now.
