You know what? I'm mad as hell too, and I don't want to take it any longer. As I look at the Sunday lineup, I realize that we will be subjected to a bunch of self-congratulatory crap from senators on both the right and left, praising themselves for a job well done on the stimulus bill. Well, congratulations, you bubble-headed buffoons, you just cut approximately 1.25 million jobs--desperately needed jobs--from the stimulus bill. Krugman's numbers are a little different, but no less disheartening. It's enough to make me wish someone like Krugman would go all Christian Bale on these right wingers in the media and remind them they're f&@#ing around with real lives. And it's certainly not better when those the President entrusted are aiding the Senators with their ridiculous slicing and dicing. I don't know how these people can sleep at night.
