Sheherazade

In the legend, A Thousand and One Nights, Sheherazade had to tell the Persian king, Shahryar, a compelling story every night for a thousand and one days in order not to be beheaded (see the details here).  We now have a modern-day version of this story in that Harry Reid (D) tomorrow will have kept the U.S. Senate from passing a federal budget (as required by the Constitution and follow-on laws) for a thousand and one days.  This is in order that the American public doesn't see Democrat fingerprints on our profligate government spending ... and storm the Capitol demanding the Senate's majority leader's head on a platter (see the details here).  And we have heard not a peep of protest from The Barry over this dereliction of duty.

We, in the know, have become so jaded by these nose-thumbings at the Constitution by the current Administration that we too often "go along to get along."  I don't believe we should be very proud of this complacency.  I'm not ... and that is why I have composed this blog complaint.  I wish I could do more.
