3. Awesome?
We've got no jobs or healthcare and the deficit is at record numbers but, hey, let's have an investigation over something that happened 30 years ago... YEAH.

Geez, no wonder nobody likes Congress.

Maybe in 40 or so years they'll get around to an inquiry into the Bush-Cheney war crimes. It's not a good idea to hold my breath, I'm sure.
