It wouldnt "voom" if you put 50,000 volts through it.

The lovely plummage of "immigration reform" is no more.

'It's not pinin'! 'It's passed on! This bill is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! 'It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the door It'd be pushing up the daisies! Its metabolic processes are now 'istory! It's off the twig! 'It's kicked the bucket, It's shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-BILL!!

...and yet another Congressional session ends without much of anything actually accomplished, just as the founding fathers intended.

With just three more Congressional sessions between now and the election, I can't wait to see what the next three "snipe hunt", "wild goose" chases are the President will use to keep Congress blind with rage and distracted for the next year and a half while he attempts to close out his Administration without getting tossed into the hoosegow. I have never seen such a rush to fratricide expressed by an executive since the days of Adam Osborne and the Osborne effect.

I have never seen a bigger waste of time in my entire life and I lived through the Clinton Impeachment, the Libby trial, eight seasons of the Sopranos.

...now for Gods sake go find a hobby, will you?

UPDATE: I ws recently in an work meeting that was held offsite, where one of the team decided on their own to take the rest of us through a rather draining exercise in futility. The guy who did this was rather adamant about the necessity for the exercise and could not understand the hostility that was generated towards him as a result of doing it.

He asked me if I thought it was worthwhile and I said yes, but that "It didnt accomplish what you set out to do, but as a team building exercise, it was really outstanding"

"What do you mean?" he asked.

I told him "We've really come together as a team because now everyone is completely united in their hatred of you and your ideas!"

So the immigration debate has done something that hasnt happened since 2001, its united America. Unfortunately for the President, its now united behind its near unified dislike of the man in the office.

In the business world we have a saying that goes like this:

"Is this the hill you want to die on?"

Meaning that while your argument might very well be righteous and correct, it might not be worth the fight accomplish, because its possible to both be right and yet lose everything you have at the same time.

That, in a nutshell is the "Bush dilemma".
