Please tell me this is a joke!

Did you ever listen to the radio, or watch television or read a newspaper story and say to yourself...."that's what's wrong with this country today.....?"
I simply had to wait a couple of days. After Tuesday's historic tsunami came crashing over the Dems specifically, and Washington in general, I honestly needed a couple of days to try and calm down. Was that a beautiful thing or what?
