Pre-Traumatic Stress Disorder? Sounds like just another lame excuse for not getting out of bed in the morning.
As long as we're creating new excuses like Pre-TSD, consider Political Prisoner Inadequacy Syndrome. Trauma will be widespread when average Americans are jailed for failure to purchase health insurance. Will we truly be jailed just for that? Will Amnesty International and the ACLU plead our cases if/when this silliness becomes law? Will Nelson Mandela or the family of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn point at us and laugh?
Not that I distrust the Illinois Connection but who in that state is going to be profiting from the prison for terrorists that's likely going to operate there?
On the same line, its time for the country-clubbing president to have his frequent flyer miles revoked and get his butt back behind that big desk.
Senator Mary Landrieu. A few hundred million dollars. In DC and Louisiana what she did might be called 'politics'. In the real world there's a different 'P' word for it.
As long as we're seemingly in the mood to soak the 'rich', and in the spirit of fairness, how about a tax schedule that more accurately reflects the attitude of the country toward our elected 'leadership' in DC? The 'rich' who make exactly 174,000 dollars a year are taxed at an 85% rate, the 'rich' who make 193,4000 at 90%, and anyone making 223,500 feels the pinch of a 95% rate. Maybe then our esteemed Politburo, uh, sorry, Congress, would start feeling the frustrations that average Americans feel.
