Well, now, Senator Byrd seems to be in trouble with others on and off Capitol Hill. While he is no saint considering his KKK affiliations early in his life, there may be some grain of truth in what he said this week.

Someone else, whose name eludes me at the moment, recently decried the inability of politicians to work for the good of the country. This person longed for the days of Nelson Rockefeller, Everett Dirkson, and Barry Goldwater. I concur. Now we seem to have an argumentative bunch in Washington who are only interested in their own agendas. They fight each other while the country goes down the tubes.
