I’ve been watching the House of Representatives debate health care before voting on H.R. 3962, lovingly referred to as The Pelosi Health Care Bill. I don’t know why I find this debate[s] fascinating, but hey, I like watching glue dry and turtles. Is this history that I’m watching? Is my rationale going to be rationed? Is C-SPAN a super secret Government mind-fuck experiment? So many questions… wait a Minnesota minute, you can ask questions during a debate; you can colloquy. Indulge me oh Lady Liberty.
Chair: For what reason does the unidentified gentleman from God knows where stand?
Me: Madame Speaker... I ask for recognition with no conditions.
Chair: The Gentleman from New York has the floor.
Gentleman from New York: What the hell, I yield.
Chair: Proceed unidentified Gentleman.
Me: Madame Speaker, I request a colloquy with the House Minority Leader.
House Minority Leader: Madame Speaker I have no written replies for the unidentified Gentleman’s colloquy.
Me: Madame Speaker, at this time I proffer said answer.
Chair: The Chair recognizes the proffer.
Gentleman from New York: I yield one minute.
A congressional page delivers the answer via folded paper airplane.
Another congressional page catches the paper airplane, unfolds it and presents it to the House Minority Leader.
A quick pause….
Me: Mr. Boehner do you promise to remain a bonehead after passage of this bill?
Rep. Boehner: U’mm… I do.
Me: Madame Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

No matter what side of the fence we find ourselves on, these idiot politicians-all ignore the landscape.

You should recommend the glue and turtles treatment. Very effective.
