I Hate Getting Serious

But I thought I'd give my interpretation of the last week in Washington since "the deal."

• There are enough weak-kneed Republicans that it will be tough to ever play hard ball on important issues.
  
• Blogger would-be analysts really like hyperbole.
  
• Since Frist wasn't going to get the votes to go nuclear, getting 3 judges may be better than what would have happened without "the deal."
  
• Pushing the Bolton nomination immediately afterward was a good idea, contrary to at least one blogger opinion, because it showcases the hypocrisy of the moderate Democrats as well as the megalomania of John McCain.
  
• Center-right wimps who fought to preserve the power of moderates like Alan Specter should feel pretty silly.

Since this is supposed to be a humor blog, here's an oldie but a goodie:

Two peanuts were walking down the street and one of them was a salted!
