We are in the midst of the heralded, oft-discussed and propagandized “First 100 Hours of the 110th Congress,” and I have to admit I spent a great deal of time watching CSPAN the first two weeks. Some of the rhetoric, dialogue and legislation was so over the top, so ridiculous it felt like I was […]
