Happy 200th, Abe! Repuglicans deny funding for education, the environment, infrastructure, etc....

They have run this country into a ditch, sold it out to debt by deception, but now is evidently not the time to reflect or rethink outdated discredited policies.

How they must long for the days when "The Hammer" sold access, when Abramoff and the K street consultants laundered money and squandered potential gleefully, carefree and giddy,WRITING LEGISLATION INTO LAW. Can you imagine what Lincoln would be thinkin'? Repulsed, mortified, horrified.

Greedy Old Party Attempts To Smother Baby Obama Administration In Cradle

Couch Potato Nation is distracted.
Oblivious, obese, it slips back into its stupor.
Skilled weasels with big fish to fry pull strings and puppets dance.
Media manipulators cherrypick, confuse, obfuscate.
Mistakes, misjudgements and mis-calculations mystify.
Shards of shattered dreams litter the landscape.
