Congress sets sail...

... on its quest to find the Sword of Bipartisanship

Godspeed, gentlemen!

I hope the bi-partisanSHIP hits some rocks and sinks with all hands.

Gridlock is the best form of government for the common man.

Tales sung by bards since time immemorial describe the Sword as a master blade forged at Lexington and Concord, broken during the Civil War, reforged by Abraham Lincoln, wielded by the imp Joe McCarthy until he was driven mad, used briefly at a Cleveland City Council meeting during a unanimous vote on a zoning variance, and then lost somewhere in the misty murk of Indochina

On a serious note. If some of the more politicly inclined here are any indicator, we'll see bipartisanship 6 billion years from now when the sun turns into a red giant. :O:

When I saw this thread title I had a warm and fuzzy mental picture of congress taking a loooong vaction.... Then reality set in.

that would be great. Our fore fathers, or was it the fifth fathers, warned us about the problems with political parties. They got that one right.

Wish we could get rid of them but I honestly don't know how that could be done.

Perhaps the problem is not that we have political parties it is that we have only two dominant political parties. Perhaps the solution is to get rid of the dominance factor by having five viable political parties where coalitions will need to be formed.

As it stands now, there is no real advantage for the two dominant political parties to ever cooperate.

I'm uncertain as to the relevance of mass-energy equivalence, but I agree with the rest.

Try not to measure the relevance or you'll mess it all up.
