#1 the appointments of Clyburn, Becerra, Murray indicate the Dems are not serious about this. What? Moran or Boxer weren't available?

#2 Of the 535 senators and congresscritters, 12 are on the committee and the other 523 are also going to sit around for four, or fifteen, months depoending on your perspective.

#4 If I understand things correctly, which I doubt, the next encounter of the fecal material with the rotary device occurs on September 30, when the 2011 fiscal year ends and the Congress either has to pass a budget or pass continuing resolutions to keep the government operating (or not.).
For those Rantburgers too young to remember when the US government had a budget, a quick Google search will fill you in.

#5 I thought we already had a committee, It's called Congress.

#7 Newt's got a curious problem. The more unelectable people think he is, the more unelectable he is. The more debates he appears in, the more he sounds like the only mature adult with ideas that work and are basically acceptable by most of those who think he's unelectable.

He's still unelectable, but it will be very useful for the GOP to keep him visible for as long as possible.

#8 I have to agree with Dennis Miller. Newt is not really running for President, Newt is stamping his brand.

#9 In the old days, a President Perry or Romney would have made Newt the Postmaster-General, just to have him around for generating ideas and keep him out of the way otherwise.

That's why we've moved to the new, modern, up-to-date position of Tsar.
