So another 24/7 news cycle has blown by. Whipsawed by so many different stories — and nonstories — trotted out by the media for our consumption, I must admit that the particulars have started to blur together. Am I confused or did Mitch McConnell block Senate debate on Iraq by using a steel mallet, rubber tubing, and pepper spray?

Hahahahahahahaha!
And now I am free to enjoy the rest of my day.
