Congress spends too much time on stupid issues like smoking bans and covenent marriages. Not enough

on REAL issues. This could have been prevented


TACOMA, Wash. – The stalking began with bursts of phone calls — 10 or 15 in a day, about once a year, from an old college acquaintance. Then, flowers and unwanted visits, an anti-harassment order, an arrest — and bail.

Jennifer Paulson, a 30-year-old special education teacher at a Tacoma elementary school, knew she was in danger this week when her alleged stalker was released from the Pierce County Jail, three days after she had him arrested. She started staying away from her home in an attempt to avoid him.

It didn't work. When she showed up for work Friday morning, he was already there — and had been waiting for hours, according to reports neighbors gave police. Paulson was shot more than once as she walked into the school. Her body lay near the base of a large evergreen tree with blood seeping from her mouth.

Makes me feel kinda special that there is nothing more important to worry about.

spent any time whatsoever on either smoking bans or covenant marriage? In fact, they haven't.

after they lowered taxes on billionaires and started a couple of unwinnable wars, they spent the rest of their time dicking around with flag burning amendments and Christian Protestant prayers in schools instead of tackling things like the financial crisis that had been building since August, 2007 and the health insurance mess that is still killing ~50,000 of us per year.

Republicans are worse than useless, they are the deadly enemy of all working people in this country.

I didn't say US Congress


I lump all idiot (R) lawmakers together

but the US Congress? And if it's Republican lawmakers you're criticizing, why not just say that?
