Actually, I'm kind of liking the idea that Congress doesn't have a clue about

how all of this international situation with Syria will end. They are forced to deal with a situation in real time and to actually pay attention to what is going on in the world and the nation. Congress has grown fat and lazy over the past couple of decades. I think this has also served to sober up a few of the wide eyed Teabaggers to the fact that their pedestrian outrage circus perhaps can be easily dwarfed by real circumstances.

1. Have they really sobered up though? They're still talking about defunding Obamacare

and/or letting the debt default.

It's too early to decide any of them are sober!

2. They may be talking about Obamacare but their voices

are lost in this debate and I don't hear a lot beyond the few "Benghazi's" from a hearing a few days ago. There is definitely not a steady stream of them in front of the cameras now. I do like that Congress members really are having to find ways to work together.

3. Well

they sure are bringing up Benghazi and Fast and Furious a lot in the Congressional Session Questions. So I'm not so sure how much the tea people have sobered up. They STILL are not taking anything but their talking points seriously.
