Coburn on Coburn
Today, the WashTimes has an interview with the ultimate kosher senator; as a doctor, he knows that too much pork is bad for the health of the nation ... the fiscal health, that is.
Do read the interview; it's quite candid and delves into the double talk of congress (not that it's breaking news or anything). As the Senator explains, politics begets pork and apropos political mea culpas:
Sen. Coburn:
You'd be surprised by the number of people who didn't vote with me that came back up to me and said, "You keep doing what you're doing." That's a positive signal to say they know in their heart we got to change this system, but they're not at the point yet where they can figure out politically that they can be with me.
Well, at least he's positive ... but, the question remains, when might this political Shangri-La materialize? When will senators and members of congress feel comforitable enough to shun pork-barrel spending as the good doctor has? Yes, it's an election year; but, shouldn't that inspire greater fiscal responsibility? If only.
Senator Coburn will be speaking at the Heritage Foundation this afternoon; we'll have a full report later today ...

I haven't been up to anything today. I don't care. I've just been staying at home not getting anything done. Basically not much happening right now. Maybe tomorrow. I guess it doesn't bother me.

I feel like an empty room, but eh. Nothing seems worth doing. I haven't gotten much done today.

I haven't been up to anything today. I can't be bothered with anything recently. Nothing seems worth thinking about. I haven't gotten anything done recently, but oh well. Not much noteworthy going on worth mentioning.

Not much on my mind these days, but what can I say? It's not important. I just don't have much to say lately. I've just been letting everything pass me by recently, but eh.

I can't be bothered with anything these days, but such is life. I don't care. So it goes. More or less nothing seems worth thinking about. I've just been hanging out waiting for something to happen, but that's how it is.

I haven't been up to much today. I've just been letting everything happen without me. Basically nothing seems worth bothering with. I've just been hanging out doing nothing. I just don't have anything to say right now. More or less nothing happening.

I haven't gotten anything done recently. I've just been hanging out doing nothing. I haven't been up to anything these days, but it's not important. Today was a total loss.

My life's been pretty dull recently. Shrug. My mind is like a void. I haven't gotten anything done lately. I can't be bothered with anything recently.

I haven't gotten anything done today. I feel like a fog, but what can I say? I've just been letting everything wash over me lately, not that it matters. Shrug.
