I heard Jan Schakowsky on a rerun of Stephanie Miller -- didn't

catch it all, but when asked about the 14th she said she was learning about it, and wasn't sure if we had to wait for something catastrophic to occur or not. Like many, I assume, she's wondering if it's a viable option, but as of Wednesday, she hadn't made up her mind.

What I found interesting and infuriating is that while she was sitting in Congress for a couple of hours waiting to vote on something, the New Kids On The Block were all hanging in a little group, giggling, laughing, almost giddy. She said it reminded her of junior high. That's the impression I get from them, too, just having a good time throwing their "power" around and drunk on their own self-importance.

I've mentioned that I think the old guys understand that they're playing with fire and would go along if they hadn't dug themselves into a hole by all their rhetoric and empty promises. To these newbies, it's all a game, they have no concept of the potential consequences.

I hate them.
