Pajama Party

On Monday night the Senate Democrats (actually only 30 out of 55 of them) held a pajama party on the Senate floor to chatter and carp about their concerns centering on climate change … see: NY Times Story. The Democrat Senators who took a pass on these foolish festivities were from energy-producing states or were in jeopardy of loosing their seats in the upcoming fall elections because of Obamacare. Even pajama boy, President Obama’s doppelganger, never showed up for his cookies and milk.

No real new news actually developed during this dozer except that Harry Reid stepped up and warned our nation that global warming is real and something urgently must be done about it.  He then nodded off.  No concrete proposals. No laws suggested. No resolutions passed ... just a lot of hot air containing CO2 was expended by these puffed-up politicians posing and prancing for their sycophantic soporific audience. In this 15 hour talk-a-thon, actually only 5 hours were devoted to Senators'speeches. The rest of the time was spent in pillow fights and playing Yahtzee,

In truth, I think this pathetic midnight theater actually was “operation change the subject,” desperately trying to get all the bad news (Ukraine, Obamacare, the IRS scandal, etc.) off of the front page for at least one news cycle.

It didn’t work.
