IT WAS A DANGEROUS WEEK IN WASHINGTON, something almost got done. At least I think something almost got done. Like many citizens I was trying to tune to the Immigration Reform broadcast, but there was so much interference coming in from a pirate broadcast of yet another episode of The Vagina Monologues I had to switch off the receiver and get my reports third hand.
From these I understand that, although nothing got done again in Congress this week, it was "the nearest run thing you ever saw in your life" .
As the week that wasn't rolled along in the ant farm of Congress, a joke and a lyric kept running through my little head.
The joke was, "I bought an ant farm. Watched it for three months and I want my money back. Those ants didn't raise shit."
The lyric was a variation of the Talking Heads "Heaven" that went like this:
Everyone is trying to get to the bar. The name of the bar, the bar is called Congress. The bozos in Congress sing my favorite song. They sing it once again, they sing it all night long.
Congress is a place a place where nothing ever happens. Congress is a place a place where nothing ever happens.
