I have a 1000 meeting at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, have not thought of anything witty or clever to say in a story this morning. There is no time to do so as a consequence of the disbelief at the dysfunction of this great nation I read about in the morning traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Most bizarre issue? Sequestration. It was no one&#8217;s idea except everyone&#8217;s. You are welcome to all the schadenfreude you wish. We here in Washington have earned it.<\/p>\n<p>Most irritating man in Washington? No, not the elected clowns. It is that patronizing congenital dissembler and Press Secretary Jay Carney. He makes me want to puke.<\/p>\n<p>Most astonishing self defense recommendation? Smokin&#8217; Joe Biden on the value of the double barrel shotgun for home defense, though of course he recommends it as a sonic warning device for helpless women.<\/p>\n<p>Second most astonishing? The Colorado legislator who opposes Second Amendment rights and recommends female students explain to rapists that they are either menstruating or about to throw up as a deterrent.<\/p>\n<p>You cannot make this stuff up. This is no longer a functioning society.
