1. I totally believe that people didn't so much vote for the Dems as against the Republicans. I hope they get things done, though, and I hope they're the right things.
2. I don't like the noise. It comes off as disrespectful and, considering we're talking about a body that holds a good deal of power over the country, childish. All amount of courtesy and decorum should be shown at that level (and at any level as far as that goes).
3. Don't get me started about the whole "Pledge" thing. I mean, come on. We don't have anything better to do? In all honesty, I don't think kids under the age of, say, ten, should me made to say it at all because how many kids actually know the meaning of what they're saying? I sure didn't. It's like Lewis Black said, the Pledge is like coffee for kindergartners: it wakes them up in the morning at school, and they don't really know what they're saying anyway.
4. Do Wah Diddy. I'm with you, bro-ham. Ready the pettition!
