World of Suck

The White House has once again told Congress to pack sand. They're not going to turn over documents and are claiming executive privilege. The democrats are making some simpering little grunts about maybe doing something about it.

Know them, it'll be non-binding and pointless. Wouldn't want to accidentally serve the country if it could potentially look bad during the elections. (By the way, thanks a lot Ken Star. Your little witch hunt has made it impossible to effectively check the President's power without looking like a partisan hack)

Whatever.

I find it difficult to summon outrage over it. Hell, annoyance is getting harder to summon at this point.

Honestly, that bothers me a little. When something is as fucked up as this administration, I should be able to be pissed at them and remain that way until it's resolved. But they're wearing me out. That's obviously their intention.

But I find myself more and more just shrugging it off and sighing. They won't stop fucking up. No one can apparently stop them from doing it. Checks and balances are fucking broken. The people are pissed at Bush. And pissed at Congress for sitting there and not doing anything about it. Not so much as a pro forma censure.

It's hard to bring up that same level of outrage day in and day out. I guess people can get used to just about anything. Real life boiling frog syndrome.
