The Ugly Truth

Every time we have a real shot at making changes that will benefit very large portions of the American public, some jag-off Democrat pops up and appoints himself kingpin - the guardian of the exchequer - the one true voice of reason - a hostage-taking son of a bitch.

That seems like it's nine kinds of fucked up, but that's what we've got, kids. We have to figure out how to make the best of it.
