In the nick of time, Congress acts!

I hate to embrace any republican talking points, but they have a good one here: Identifying a 90 year old event as genocide is not the poper business of the U.S. Congress.

Here are just a few things Congress should be doing instead of damaging our relations with Turkey over something very few living people remember:

* Address genocide going on right now.

* Engage in oversight of the executive branch.

* Stop a war.

* Stop the next war.

Hey!

Have any of y'all seen this video? It's on heavy rotation on public access hereabouts and is high-larious. The basic story is that that African Americans shouldn't vote for Democrats today because the Democratic Party was full of racists in the 1860s. For example, did you know that it is a historical fact that the KKK is an arm of the Democratic Party? It's true! Also, the Texas Republican Party was founded (mostly) by blacks!

Anyway, I'd post a video, but I can't find one. Maybe one of the many readers of this blog has better google skillz.

Gotta go. Don't want to miss out on any history. David Barton, our narrator, just suggested that reparations for slavery should be paid by the Democratic Party, rather than by the federal government, and I'm eager to hear his other awesome ideas.
