Well…have been thinking about a topic for today when a jaw-dropping new piece of news came over one of the websites I follow…with this do nothing congress holding up ENDA, immigration, jobs bills, and the rest of the things they should be doing and saying there just is no time to get to them this year, we have a new hearing and investigation from the repubs of one of the most important things to Americans…whether or not one of the planets that have been discovered around other stars has life and if it is being kept from us…nope, not making this up…one of the idiot Texas reps is planning on spending a couple of million dollars to find out something that he could find out with just calling some of the astronomers that have found these planets and listening to them…why an investigation? The only reason that I can think of is just because they can and this idiot didn’t get his fix of power yet….so, he will take people away from jobs that actually accomplish something and make them cool their heels while he asks inane questions that could be answered by his staff with 15 minutes of internet time…and these are the “serious people” that the repubs send to the House? geez….
