Priorities

So, just to recap, the U.S. Government has been (a) unable to win/finish off/maintain the peace in Iraq; (b) unable to properly secure Americas borders from illegals, potential terrorist threats; (c) unable to do anything to squash the potential North Korean/Iranian threats to world peace; and (d) unable to police itself from sexual predators of underage boys roaming the halls of congress for over ten years. 
 
Yet, the U.S. Government has been able to accomplish some things.  Foremost, you soon won't be able to play poker online.  Phew.  Glad we got that scourge out of our society.  Thanks to Rep. Frist (R-TN) who shoehorned that little piece of (bullshit) legislation onto a port security bill.  Great maneuvering there, Billy Boy.  And thanks for taking away one of the few simple harmless pleasures out of my life. 
 
We've done a great job of protecting ourselves from ourselves and the victimless crimes we commit.  We've done a horrible job protecting ourselves from the evil doers the right repeatedly harps about.  And we've let a known predator continue to operate in the congress, all the while turning a blind eye to his actions.
