And They've Come Out Swinging ...

The Democratic leadership and the White House. The November election a humbling experience? Hardly, judging by the so-called "lame duck session" agendas.

It feels similar to January this year, when the Prez got upset over Scott Brown's win in Massachusetts Senate election and started throwing temper tantrum.

In the current Democratic temper tantrum, we have [of no particular order]:

1. Nancy Pelosi is becoming the House Minority Leader;

2. TSA adopts a new and improved screening procedure that's nothing but sexual assault, and which has been ordered by the Prez;

3. And several equally tone-deaf Senators call the aggressive patdowns as "love pats".

4. Harry Reid and Hispanic caucus want to push through the DREAM Act that would give citizenship to illegal Hispanic immigrants who go to college or serve in the military;

5. The presidential commission on debt reduction propose that the federal government keep spending at the current elevated level and calls it a "reduction";

6. Another commission of some sort proposes 6.5% national sales tax to "reduce deficit";

7. Big Democratic supporter Warren Buffett thanks the government for enriching him and his company further through the fiscal and monetary policies adopted in the last 2 years;

8. Chris Dodd's Committee trying its damnest best to bury the "Foreclosuregate" as quickly as possible, while state AGs are said to be close to a deal with banks so that the banks can smoothly and quickly foreclose and make tons of money in the process;

No one is in control.
