#3 This piece is satire, but like all good satire it has a strong kernel of truth. Anyone who says they don't have problems has at least one - they are delusional. And I believe most of us really think our problems are tough, important problems - but our grandparents would laugh. Heck, I laugh at what my kids call problems. (Obviously, I generalize, since there are a significant number of people with cancer or war wounds, etc., or are Liberals, who do have serious problems.)

#4 or are Liberals, who do have serious problems

Almost a chicken or egg conundrum. Hard to decide if they have problems because they are Libruls or are Libruls because they have problems. Maybe some Librulfeedback involved, once bootstrapped on the hapless induhvidual.

#6 Deal with them in order of their degree of importance: Obama, Hillary, McCain. The last one may take a longer time to tackle (4 years) if he first two are eliminated in few months, but it is solvable.

#8 We've drafted hundreds of bills that would have solved thousands of different problems, only to have them vetoed out of mean-spiritedness." said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

"WE" Mrs speaker? YOU (Democrats)control the votes.
