I am too sentimental?

I don't know why. I've got tears in my eyes from the beauty of watching this stuff go down. Even felt sorry for David Drier and how nice the lady from NY was to him. And those people who are "out" are still there, like somebody said, with no rooms to sleep in tonight who should be on their way..

Criticize all you want. But this is a great country and it gets screwed up sometimes, but a gracious force puts it back on course. I hope we're watching that now.

What an awsome job these people have.

Congress reminds me of a poem my Dad used to recite to me:

There was a little girl
Who had a little curl
right in the middle of her forehead.

And when she was good,
she was very very good.
And when she was bad,
she was HORRID.

I'm assuming this is something about the fiscal wart? Would you fill me in just a little that I might understand what you're being sentimental over? Please?
