I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

The Do-Nothing Congress

Quite literally.

Apparently, the lame-duck Republican leadership is going to sit around playing Solitaire on their PC’s for the next few weeks:

Congress will convene on Tuesday for what some fear will be the lamest of lame-duck sessions, and GOP leaders have decided to take a minimalist approach before turning over the reins of power to the Democrats. Rather than a final surge of legislative activity, Congress will probably wrap up things after a single, short week of work. They have even decided to punt decisions on annual government spending measures to the Democrats next year.

There is something to be said for a do-nothing Congress. At least they won’t do any further damage.
