Aww, poor toasty politicians.

You know, Congress, the Legislative branch is not an elementary school classroom. I understand that most of you have all the emotional maturity of Flick* in "A Christmas Story," but it really, really isn't. The President isn't your teacher. He's not in authority over y'all - or at least, no more than Y'ALL are over HIM.

In elementary school, the teacher says, "Finish your classwork or you don't get to go out for recess," and the kids whine and groan and finish... because what kid wants to miss recess?

In the LEGISLATURE, the President says, "Pass these bills or you can't leave," and the kids whine and groan and... DO THEIR FUCKING JOBS BY VETTING EVERYTHING AND DEMANDING THEIR CONSTITUTIONALLY EQUAL SAY IN WHAT GETS PASSED. What they do NOT do is say "fuck it" and hammer everything through so they can start their vacations on time.

You know WHY? Because they're supposedly FUCKING GROWNUPS, that's why.

* Kid's far more honest than y'all ... he went on to do porn. You know what you're getting with porn, by god.

"But... but... the President gets to go on vacation when he wants to! It's not fair!"
