You can’t make it up…. Mississippi Representative, Steve Holland (D), has set forth a resolution that would officially change the “Gulf of Mexico” to the “Gulf of America,” (well, only in Mississippi). Honestly, since we get all of their citizens, the least we can do is let them have a body of water. What’s fair is fair…

But in all seriousness, this is why our political system is such a joke. Instead of doing something pertinent and timely like, oh I don’t know, marriage equality, immigration reform or FIXING THE ECONOMY, these jackasses waste time with stupid shit. I love this country, but sometimes I can’t even.

A Date That Will Live in Oblivion

George Packer on President Obama’s Oval Office speech:

What President Obama called the end of the combat mission in Iraq is a meaningless milestone, constructed almost entirely out of thin air, and his second Oval Office speech marks a rare moment of dishonesty and disingenuousness on the part of a politician who usually resorts to rare candor at important moments. The fifty thousand troops who will remain in Iraq until the end of next year will still be combat troops in everything but name, because they will be aiding one side in an active war zone. The proclaimed end of Operation Iraqi Freedom has little or nothing to do with the military and political situation in Iraq, which is why Iraqis were barely aware when the last U.S. combat brigade crossed into Kuwait a few days ago. And for most of us, too—except, perhaps, those with real skin in the game, the million and a half Iraq war veterans and their families—there’s hardly any reality or substance to the moment.

It’s funny ‘cause it’s true.
