Political commentary from Jason E. High

Gridlock. Sweet, sweet gridlock.

What could possibly be better?

Get ready for the most productive and decent political condition known to man: sweet gridlock. You get nothing. And after what you’ve been through these past few years, you deserve it.

Hey, things are tough. A new Rasmussen poll says 48 percent of voters regard President Barack Obama’s political views as “extreme.” Not surprising, seeing as — how can I put this without being hyperbolic? — Washington has been doing to the economy what “Piranha 3D” has done to cinematic excellence.

There is no greater check on power in Washington than two strong political parties.

Safe to say there will be enough secure Democrats and secure Republicans that legislative activity will be winnowed down to the bare necessities — namely, politics without policy results. And that’s fine by me.

What we need now is to stop the implementation of any more bright ideas and give everyone a break.

I can’t wait.
