141. I am tired of that
Brilliant post, Patrick, thanks.

"...some staffer irritably assured us they were working on...."

God, if I have heard that once I have heard it a thousand times over the last 30 years from Democratic party staffers. Many of you know the drill - you show up, ready to fight for the cause, sleeves rolled up and all fired up... and they pat you on the head, treat you like you are an some sort of irritating interloper, shoo you away, and promise you in a condescending tone that "they are working on that." So, we think well, OK, they must have the experts in place, they might know more than we do, and I guess we will have to hope that they get the job done.

Fot 30 years we have been told to go away and let the pros handle it. The PROS don't suffer when they fail again, and again, and again. WE do. They go merrily along from job to job, making up stories to cover their behinds at our expense.
