Now, it’s the morning after the New Years Eve party.  You’ve got a bad case of bed hair, a hickey on your neck from who knows who, your head is pounding and you can’t find your feet.  The house is littered with beer cans, cheetos, pork rinds, tofu (I didn’t think this stuff could look any worse!)  A few of Cheney’s “stay behinds” are hiding in the CIA’s closet. 

Nothing works.  The toilet is overflowing, all the dishes are broken (Junior was trying his hand at balancing dishes on a stick) and there’s a huge cigarette burn on the sofa.  On top of that, we have no garbage bags or soap because they were funded through EPA.  

Never the less, it’s our house.  It doesn’t matter anymore who’s to blame.  Either you were one of the party goers or you didn’t try hard enough to regulate them.  We all live here and now we all have to pay.  We will all either pay higher taxes or do without vital services.  

We've been letting the MSM ignore their responsibility and play “Let’s you and him fight" instead.  This isn't freedom of speech - it's Jerry Springer.  Good for ratings, deadly for a democracy.  Turn off the cable news.  

It's time to remember that we’re a family.  We all have to live here. 

So, stop whining, all of you -left and right.  And grab a mop....and where's the asprin?

A good message. Mom is not going to clean up this mess. We're big enough boys and girls to clean up after ourselves.
