We Live

in strange times:

Republicans on Thursday defeated Democrats' showcase election-year jobs bill, including an extension of weekly unemployment benefits for millions of people out of work more than six months.The 57-41 vote fell three votes short of the 60 required to crack a GOP filibuster, delivering a major blow to President Barack Obama and Democrats facing big losses of House and Senate seats in the fall election.

It must be interesting having to explain to someone that they won't be getting their benefits extended because 41 beats 57. Looking back at my high school football scores, I now eagerly await my sate championship rings. 

Then again, fuck them for not having the American guttiness and pluck to be born an heir to billions, which would grant them the sympathy of Congress.

The American Way!
