I was gently implying that Congress seems to be ON some psychedelic drugs. That’s one of the few good explanations for the Obamacare/budget catfight.

[quote=6packscaredy]I doubt psychedelics explain current political squabble. If anything I think they would encourage people reaching out across the aisle and dancing heedlessly while discussing the issues at a level they subjectively perceive as much much deeper.

Booze, crankiness lack of exercise, repressed sexuality, cigarettes better explain squabbles.[/quote]

Reporter: So, Mr. Cat, What would be your first act if elected to congress?

Scaredy: I’d hold a shroom party and invite all my fellow congressmen.

Why not? I’d say it has a better chance of working than any of the bs they’re doing now.

Actually narcissism explains it best. Look at all the posturing for/against the fake fillibuster and the names being tossed out like “surrender caucus”.

It’s all ego and no substance.

(And I chose a GOP issue – but it could just as well been a DEM issue – both sides are more about the ego than the people.)
