Reply #8: The Baths of Caracalla

[november3rd]

One day tourists will be coming to the ruins of the Capitol and marveling at the splendor wealthy, corrupt powerbrokers surrounded themselves with while running this country into the bottomless quicksand.

Congress could flex a little muscle and straignten this whole mess out with the financial services industry and the Obama administration. But you know what, the tourists in 2500 are going to read about how the Congress and the Senate were just as corrupt as the bought and paid for lobbyists and the Administration playing along with them all as if it were June 2001.

We need to get the Republicans out of the Democratic party and get some real progressives in there. Otherwise, the tourists in Washington will one day be mocking us over the way we allowed corruption to destroy our once-great Republic.
