It is difficult to find anything positive to say about the situation in our nation's capital. The politicians who are supposed to be looking after the welfare of this country seem to have decided that their political careers are more important than doing what is right. Many people have offered opinions as to why this sad state of affairs has come to be, but it all comes down to two basic possibilities. Either they are corrupt or they are stupid. I suppose it could be a combination of the two, but, in any case, it ought to be possible to elect better people to serve as leaders of this troubled country. Hopefully the current crop of zombies will get booted out of office and more qualified people will be elected into office in the not-too-distant future!
