If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

'END' OF THE 'END GAME' OR 'THE END'?

Is the Drudge Report reveling in their "official" Senate ban  that staffers not check his site?  Or is here merely just having fun?  You have to admit that this Democratically dominated Congress just hasn't been able ram Mr. Obama's, now, very unpopular agenda through.   Here is a recap of headlines from last year on his mast  head:
  • July 28: Healthcare endgame on Capitol Hill (Reuters)
  • August 21: Analysis: Health care endgame near but uncertain (AP)
  • October 14: Senate, administration begin healthcare endgame as Dem leaders express unity (Hill)
  • October 25: Senators say health care bill endgame is in sight (Politico)
  • October 27: End Game: So When Will Health Care Really Happen? (TPM)
  • October 30: Health reform inches closer to endgame (WaPo)
  • November 23: The Health Care Endgame (NPR)
