Cats In A Gunny Sac Remember how we thought that Congress would assume a new role of functionality after the last election? Surely, since there was now a Republican majority, they would be able to get along and pass something other than hot gas. Where is their dignity? Where is the spirit of cooperation? Where is the notion of national accomplishment? It seems that all the Dem- ocratic Party has to do is stand by and watch the Republicans tear themselves apart. We have the Conservative Political Action Repub- lican Groups comparing the labor unions in Wisconsin to the world’s terrorists. Oh, come now! What an insult to organized labor. We have blame and finger pointing like a bunch of spoiled junior high kids. Some of us had high hopes for Congress, others say, “I told you so.” Never the less it’s time for some genuine legislation and intelligent behavior. We don’t need to drive over the fiscal cliff. We are tired of budget threats. We don’t need to stand by and watch a sack full of cats destroy themselves at the expense of good government. —N.L.M.—
