32. Not a pessimist,

but a realist. I've seen so many of these postings that seem to indulge in wishful thinking. While nice to imagine, most of the time folks forget that we have a House that is still going to be there another year and so far have been the biggest Do Nothing Congress Ever. To expect that such assholes would even THINK of such a bill is preposterous.
