Gridlock. Sweet, sweet gridlock.
What could possibly be better?

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.
