Senator Harry Reid, in a Tweet which illustrates perfectly the inconsequentiality of Twitter and of himself, asked why Republicans are obstructing the budget passed by the Senate he is from time to time unjustifiably accused of leading. It has been 86 days since the Senate passed a budget, Senator Reid says. "Why are Republicans standing in the way?"

This is, of course, the same Senator Reid at whose direction the Senate did not pass a budget for more than four years, despite it being their legal responsibility to do so.

I begin to see the appeal of being a low-information voter. I would probably be able to save a lot of money on blood-pressure medicine.
