Think about how nice if would be if you could change the rules in midstream, midplay, midwhatever.

I WIN!

Things not going your way? CHANGE THE RULES! You are losing? No problem. Now the rules state the person with the lowest score wins (which explain why golf is so bizarre).

Ever been in a place where you wanted to change the rules? As kids we all did that. Our game wasn't going the way WE wanted, so HUZZAH! instant rule change and we're suddenly back in control and on top of things.

Reality unfortunately does not work that way.

Except it does if you are in a position to decide what the rules are going to be. You say you can't do that? I say you aren't putting forth enough effort.

For instance, does Nov. 23 have any meaning for you, except that it's the day for Thanksgiving?

And you believe in the Easter Bunny?

It is the deadline for the Stupid - excuse me, I mean Super Committee in Congress to come up with deficit cutting ideas or automatic budget cuts take place, at least that's what you are being told.

Does anyone REALLY believe the automatic cuts will take place?

Really?

If you honestly believe Congress is going to let automatic budget cuts go through, I must borrow your rose colored glasses. Or perhaps you are wearing Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses. Regardless. May I borrow your eyewear so I can get your perspective on things? I promise I'll hand 'em right back.

I just want to see what delusion feels like.

Those who say these cuts WILL take place are forgetting something.

Congress made the rule about the cuts. Congress can change the rule about the cuts.

The Little Engine that Couldn't.

Congress has a long and solid history of changing the rules when things don't go to suit them. 

Reality in Washington is not what Congress defines. But the rules certainly are what Congress defines. That Congress continually tries and fails, to warp reality to fit the new set of rules is no impediment. Like the Little Engine that Could, Congress is going to try, try and try again.

And Congress is VERY happy.

Never mind doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the very definition of insanity. If you look up insanity in my dictionary, you see a picture of Congress hooked to an IV mainlining Alprazolam Alplax, Alviz, Alzolam, Alprax, Apo-Alpraz, Constan, Kalma, Ralozam, Restyl, Solanax, Tranax, Trankimazin, Tranquinal, Tafil, Xanax, Xanor, Zamhexal, Zolarem Buspirone Ansial, Ansiced, Anxiron, Axoren, Bespar, Buspar, Buspimen, Buspinol, Buspisal, Narol Chlordiazepoxide   Librium Clonazepam Klonopin, Rivotril Diazepam Apozepam, Diapam, Seduxen, Valium Escitalopram Cipralex, Lexaprin, Lexapro, Seroplex, and Sipralexa Fluoxetine Fluctin, Fludac, Fontex, Foxetin, Lovan, Prodep, Prozac, Sarafem, Symbyax Fluvoxamine Luvox, Faverin, Fevarin Lorazepam Ativan, Temesta, Tavor Meprobamate Miltown, Equanil, Meprospan Pregabalin Lyrica Reboxetine Edronax, Norebox, Prolift, Solvex, Vestra Citalopram, Chlorpromazine, Moclobemide and Phenelzine.


Changing the rules doesn't mean reality also changes.


No action by a legislative body is permanent except to disband. Now that's an action and a rule I'd like to see Congress enact.
