Theater of the Absurd

http://www.tnr.com/docprint.mhtml?i=express&s=crowley111303

It's nearly 1:30 in the morning, and a group of bleary-eyed young boys and girls--who by now should be asleep, dreaming of rocket ships and ponies--have found themselves in the presumably baffling circumstance of being lined up for a press conference in the U.S. Capitol.

-snip-

It's 2:30 and I'm ready for bed. I make one last swing through the GOP nerve center. There I see an adorable brown-haired girl, maybe 10 years old. Her eyes are swollen and red. She's crying. An older woman crouches down.

"What's the matter honey?"

"I just wanna go home," the poor girl whimpers.

"I know. So do I."

1. Ah geezus. People

used to drive through a huge neighborhood on the "other" side of town known as "the cut" and make ugly comments on all the very young minority kids sitting out on the front porches until 3-4am. How are these Repukes any different?

2. OK, I'm being thick

What have the children to do with the debate at all? Who are they? The Republican senators' children or grandchildren? Isn't keeping them up against their will a (mild) form of abuse?
