Washington is a city of smoke and mirrors. That's what governing has become. It's a place where a junior congressperson can drive to work in his Rolls Royce, a gift from a thankful constituent; where a yacht is a perk for the connected; where business is a black bag operation; where a war isn't supposed to cost the tax payers a dime; where the deeply religious feel that death by injection is acceptable and where the poor, homeless, and hungry can get along by themselves because when you're making that much money, taxes are more than annoying, they're a liability; where if you want it bad enough, it can be had. Washington makes New York look almost homey.

Stumble It!
