34. "Though purely symbolic." I don't like the sound of that.
How about the 28 Democrats who signed on to this get together and promise to block one of our President's pet projects. Not something symbolic like the Senate's vote not to fund the Gitmo decommissioning, but something that Mr. Obama really, really wants.

I am so fucking sick of the Democrats being unable to pull off those nasty-ass parliamentary or strategic blockades that the Republicans seem to know how to do from birth. If it's all about compromise and reaching out to the other side of the aisle, then it's about time the President started reaching out to the Progressive side of the aisle.

Sometimes you just have to say "NO FUCKING MORE!!!" until you learn to give us SOME of what we want.

And while I'm bitching I'd like to throw out the idea that Harry Reid should be declared mentally incompetent. He is an embarrassment. Period.
