Get ready folks, for tonight President Obama’s presents his penultimate State of the Union address before Congress. And guess what? Everybody gets a pony! Everybody who doesn’t already have on, that is, as the Prez is going to propose raising taxes on the rich and giving the money to the not-so-rich. And let me tell ya, I’m confident that this proposal is going absolutely…. Nowhere.

Hey, it wouldn’t have gone anywhere even if the Republicans didn’t control the House and even if they weren’t in control (or had at least 41 votes) in the Senate. Let’s face it, at least half of the Democrats in Congress are really what we used to call Republicans before Republicans went insane. But, hey, it’s a nice idea.

Frankly, I’d be happy if they just wouldn’t gut Social Security and/or SSDI. OK, well, maybe not happy but at least somewhat less pissed off.

But then coming back to work on on the day after a three-day weekend, it’s pretty hard to be anything other than pissed off.
