Guys? Could we stop being so hyper about stupid shit?

[Rhythm and Blue]

Okay, I know for those of us in the ol' echo chamber, the Stark business seems Really Really Important. So does the General Betray Us ad, and so does symbolic resolutions regarding Iran.

Do you know how much all of that matters? Zero. Look, I know it feels like a huge loss when the Republicans call us names. But that doesn't affect anything, change anything, or do anything to anyone.

And it certainly doesn't change the fact that http://public.cq.com/docs/cqt/news110-000002576765.html">Nancy Pelosi's house has registered the highest recorded level of opposition to a President ever, so stop calling the Dems wishy-washy and pushovers, because that simply ain't true. The reason we haven't managed to get everything done we wanted to isn't that Nancy's a coward, it's that the Republicans have blocked, filibustered, or vetoed our best proposals. And that's the same stuff we did to them, so don't get outraged about that. The solution isn't to give up and go home, the solution isn't to whine about Pelosi, the solution is to elect some more goddamn Democrats.

She's doing a good job overall. Don't get mad that she's not afraid to hold us to the same standard of decorum that we want to hold the other guys to. So please, just calm down.
