Ryan is a long way from living up to his billing, folks.

I trust this doesn't come as a surprise.

Of course it doesn't... He *IS* just a Republican after all... :^/

All - I think the job of speaker is undoable and unreformable in the modern era....200 + years of clever people gaming The Constitution.

Of course, that opinion will change if (gods forbid) Democrats gain control of the House... :D

Ya'all are nothing if not completely and unequivocally predictable.. :D

Goode trickle - 3,4. Nice feature, I'd like to see AccuWeigant upgraded with a green-screen and animated fronts so we can track them better and take shelter if they get close.

No amount of shelter is gonna save ya'all once Director Comey's recommendation is handed down...

I am planning a MASSIVE crow banquet complete with Crow soup, Fried Crow and Crow pudding...

Attendance is going to be mandatory... :D

Paula - 1 Why? Same reason people buy their first and last boat. Prestige, failure to account for upkeep, overestimate the fun factor.

Pretty powerful stuff.. Read it at your peril...

I have to disagree with Miss Noonan...

Politics in this country started going downhill when Bill Clinton saw absolutely nothing wrong with getting a blow job in the Oval Office....

GT, For tomorrow I see a strong BS Stream bringing in a front of Democrats, Democrats, 'cause Obama, Democrats, Trainwreck Care, Leftwingery, Leftwingery, Obama Worst ever, lies, Trainwreck care, Democrats, Democrats, LOTS OF CAPS, unless you concede, accept ALL science, with some ya'all don't get and a chance of Ideological slavery. Someone has to bring all of those facts (and many more) out into the open.. Else Weigantia would be nothing but an echo chamber wasteland punctuated with nothing but "YEP"s and "DITTO"s and "UH HUH, UH HUH"s as far as the eye can see.. :D Michale

What it all basically boils down to is: "We are completely incapable of doing our jobs, because if we did that then we likely wouldn't get re-elected." Will someone please remind me why taxpayers are still paying these guys' salaries? Their only re-election scheme now seems to be to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they refuse to let the public even know what they stand for. That's pretty pathetic.

As it was when Democrats had the Senate and refused to pass a budget for the exact same reasons.

Great summation of the house, and well the complete lack of governance whatsoever.

I really need to figure out how to get a job that allows me to squander taxpayer dollars and still feel like I have a soul...I have a feeling it can't be done.

For tomorrow I see a strong BS Stream bringing in a front of Democrats, Democrats, 'cause Obama, Democrats, Trainwreck Care, Leftwingery, Leftwingery, Obama Worst ever, lies, Trainwreck care, Democrats, Democrats, LOTS OF CAPS, unless you concede, accept ALL science, with some ya'all don't get and a chance of Ideological slavery.

Today's anecdote: elderly white man, well-dressed, looking a shaving creams in the store.

What does he think of the election season to date?

He was a bit hard of hearing, then he had to muse for some seconds, then said:
"A roller coaster."

Then he just looked at me. I asked if he wanted to add anything. He smiled and said: "May the best woman win!"

I really wonder who convinced him to take the job, and on what basis.

Pretty much any sentient observer knew this was going to be the outcome. Is Ryan delusional, egomaniacal or a martyr?
