These Republicans Are Going To Kill Me

[iamjoy]

perhaps literally.

I was at the gym today on the elliptical machine doing an aerobic workout. They have televisions in the cardio room, one tuned to CNN, but I had my headphones on listening to music (not plugged in to hear the television). And I was already pretty close to my target heart rate when I looked up in time to see the "headline" that the Flag Burning Amendment passed the house. I muttered, "Oh, mother f---er. I don't believe this."

Then I looked down, and my pulse was like 15 points higher.

I was able to get it back down again, but it took a few minutes. So, really, for our health, we need to get Democrats back in office and restore common sense and sanity to Washington DC

1. Relax

even if it passed through congress it would still have to be ratified by the states

I don't think it will happen
