What the crap is a nonbinding resolution? I know you think it will help but it won't. You are the Senate, you are 100 of the most powerful men and women in the world. You have the power to make something happen! It's in the constitution, what's left of it, anyway!
(some of the powers of the House & Senate)
To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries;
To constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court;
To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offenses against the law of nations;
To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water;
To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years;
To provide and maintain a navy;
To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces;
To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the states respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress
See? You get to call the shots you weak-willed idiot children! Not only that, your constituents voted for something a little bit firmer than a ridiculous "Non Binding Resolution." Come on! Napoleon Chimpface and Shoot Em Up Dick are used to getting their way just about no matter what. Nonbinding Resolutions are exactly as difficult for them to ignore as wet toilet tissue in the white house crapper. I didn't campaign for you to write dipshit resolutions. Go write a fucking law, you morons! Go. Write. A. Bill. And put in it how you're not going to pay for any more of this nonsense. Here, I'll write it for you. Why not? The Current Occupant's running dogs and various lobbies like Big Oil have been writing legislation for you for years.
The Omnibus War Halting Bill of 2007
1. Congress won't pay for any more adventures and war bullshit in the Middle East.
2. The troops will pack up and come the hell home. Congress will pay for that.
3. Cheney can eat it.
3.a.1 Cheney must answer a series of difficult trivia questions.
3.a.2 Cheney must answer a series of difficult questions about his relationship to defense contractors.
3.a.3 Cheney must answer a series of difficult questions about his relationship to extraction industries.
3.b.1 Cheney must describe in clear detail the events of February 11, 2006.
3.b.2 Cheney must turn in his badge and his gun.
3.c.1 Cheney shall be prohibited from holding any more offices, elected or appointed.
3.d.1 Cheney must give 1/10th of his net wealth to homeless shelters upon completion of his term.
4. $77 million earmarked for federal construction of a bridge between Alaska and the Kamchatka peninsula.
5. $4 million earmarked for tea cozies to be hand knit and delivered to Alaskan families.
Okay, I only threw in numbers 4 and 5 because Ted Stevens called me while I was making this journal entry and said I had to.
See how easy that was?! Wow. I guess I should run for office. Yes. Olsen in 2008, bitches.
