—JON STEWART, The Daily Show (via inothernews) (via soupsoup) (via asprettyasasong)For years, the Democrats in our federal government lived in legislative exile - a power diaspora. But all that changed in 2006, when the Democrats regained control of this nation’s House of Representatives. And its Senate! And with that control, they still failed to get timelines for Iraq War withdrawals, government-negotiated prescription drug prices, any kind of meaningful environmental legislation - actually, [they] really failed to get anything. Basically, the Democrats seem like the kind of people who switch to Geico - and lose money.
