"So they [the Government] go on in strange paradox,
decided only to be undecided,
resolved to be irresolute,
adamant for drift,
solid for fluidity,
all-powerful to be impotent."
by:
Sir Winston Churchill
(1874-1965) Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1940-1945, 1951-1955)

    Old Winnie had a great sense of humor . . . and he is right. Although he was speaking of the British Parliament, it seems to fit right in with today's American Congress. In a way, it's a good thing that they can't get anything done, yet, they've even found a way around that by seeing to it that they get their pay raises only if Congress agrees NOT to raise their pay.
