#1) - Great news this morning - one less a@@hole to deal with
From the
New York Times:
Henry Waxman, 20-Term Democrat, Leaving House
Representative Henry A. Waxman of California, a diminutive Democratic giant whose 40 years in the House produced some of the most important legislation of the era, will announce on Thursday that he is retiring at the end of the year.
Mr. Waxman, 74, joins the growing list of House members who are calling it quits, many in disappointment over the partisanship and ineffectiveness of a Congress that may end up as the least productive in history.
�It�s been frustrating because of the extremism of Tea Party Republicans,� Mr. Waxman said in an interview on Wednesday. �Nothing seems to be happening.�
I love that quote:
Nothing seems to be happening. That is correct because you are trying to implement overreaching government programs that are funded by our future generations -- kicking the can down the road and letting our children pay for our excesses. Enough people are seeing through this Utopian fever-dream and trying to stop its implementation.
Good riddance Mr. Waxman -- don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you...
