"Their are only EIGHTY TWO weeks left until the next presidential election." - Scott Pelley on CBS News just now.

ONLY 82 weeks.
1.57 YEARS!
574 DAYS!

How the hell did we get to this place?
We are SO screwed.
Please take the poll - The main job of congress and the president is:

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
