What a circus!

I was listening to news regarding this today:

US poised to ratify nuclear treaty with Russia

I just can't believe politicians. No one is willing to give an inch on ideology, particularly the U.S. right. Listening to Republican politicians bloviate over how bad and useless this is, etc., etc., etc., and it seems to be simply because its a Democrat president doing it, not a Republican. If it were the other way around, the responses would be reversed as well. Politicians of any stripe just can't celebrate in the successes of other parties, only criticize them, no matter how good the results are for the world. It really is a joke. (And you can't get funnier than when the comments are spoken in a Southern American accent. It just sounds so pompous.)

They all need to watch 'Miracle on 34th Street', and pay attention to Mr. Gimble and Mr. Macy...
