Two and a half years?!

Over in Iraq, there are Guardsmen and Reservists who aren't actually getting paid. They say it'll take two and a half years to straighten out this mess. One woman, over in Iraq, just found out that her parents took out a mortgage on their house, to pay her bills, while she's abroad. Does this sound right?

So Congress is making all kinds of noise now. The pity of it is, they won't actually accomplish anything.

They very rarely do.

If the prefix "pro" is good, and the prefix "con" is bad, and "con" is generally considered the opposite of "pro"... what does that suggest about "progress" and "congress"?

Sorry. I had to do that.
