Congress, attempting to reconcile and pass debt ceiling legislation, had difficulty with the word 'compromise' this week! Here, they are shown pulling in various directions. Let's hope that cooler heads prevail before the 2 August deadline! Sigh!

Entitlements? Medicare? Social Security? Hey, no worries mate! With our life span who cares? We don't even have an AARF "geezer" organization to join! We don't live long enough! All that aside, where would I carry their card?

So they elect these clowns to Congress to represent 'the people,' and all they can do is engage in 'political polarization.' One group insists that taxes be raised and the other insists that spending is decreased! And neither side is gonna budge on numbers! What ever happened to the spirit of compromise? These intransigent clowns are going to run this country into the ground! They're behaving like a bunch of petulant adolescents! Sigh!

Makes me glad to be a fish!

"That's one small step for an Urchin, one giant leap for Urchinkind!"

You may have heard that the Pope is now 'tweeting.' Well, I received a tweet from him just yesterday. Seems he wants to bring back fish on Fridays! He also wants me to 'friend' him on Facebook! Fat chance!
