Not "Do Nothing Congress," "Do Bad Congress"

Matt Taibbi has a wonderful accounting of what our Congress has been up to for the past six years: it's on the cover of Rolling Stone (and not in the way Dr. Hook envisioned that honor, either). Many of this stuff is known to the politics junkies among us, but there are some pretty shocking revelations about the process which may surprise even us.

If you live in a state or district where there's a hotly-contested race and you've got a preference for the Democrat, I urge you to call up his or her campaign office and volunteer. As Taibbi's article shows, the Republicans have slipped from passive acceptance into wholesale participation in the destruction of democracy in a co-equal branch of government. They need to be beaten.
