Thirty Years Later, it Still Rings True...........
While we continue with this 'most important' of presidential elections, I hope that we have burned into your brains one undeniable fact - who is president is less important than who in Congress. Why? As Vince Vaughn said in 'Wedding Crashers'..... Let me hold your hand and explain it to you like a 6 year old.....
Basically, every bill that is passed starts in the House of Representatives, and the long trail of BS starts from there. I can go into long detail, with lots of options and charts, but there is no clearer way I can explain it than by how we learned everything as kids in the 70's...........Schoolhouse Rock.
Aside from '3 is a Magic Number' , 'I'm Just a Bill' is probably my favorite Schoolhouse Rock song. I know many of you who read SC6 are political insiders, and are familiar with the legislative process, but for some of you this might widen your horizons - and show you that President McCain or Obama won't be the earth-changing event you're hoping for. In short, a new President with the same old Congress means no change, and that folks is something you can believe in.........

but you don't like vince vaughn.
Yeah, i still think he's a bit of a puz, but Wedding Crashers was pretty good. The Break-Up isn't quite as good, but it has a couple good moments.
