    Senator John Kennedy (R-LA)....

    LOL.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Exactly. It's remarkable the amount of dysfunction we've seen in the last decade or so.

            A few years back, I remember reading in the WSJ where they were reporting that something like 13% of the public thought congress was doing a good job. The author wanted to know "who are these people?" I wonder now if the percentage thinking they're doing a "good job" would reach double digits.

              Remember when he was mocked for his "Southern accent?"

              He can turn a phrase, though, can't he?

                      I saw Daniel Craig (James Bond) in two movies last week where he had a southern accent. It was weird.

                        True fact...Much of the Southern accent is very close to the British accent of the 1700's. Brits usually find the accent pretty easy to do...

                          I can do a pretty good impersonation of Sheriff John W. Pepper if the need arises.
