"Who Knew That Governing Would Be So Complicated And Difficult?"

By Sniffles

We did. Because public policy, folks.

If Lyndon Johnson could rise from the grave, he would tell you that major legislation — the kind that defines Presidencies for generations — is the result of hard work, long-time relationships, arm twisting and compromise. Always, always compromise.

And in the results, nobility can ensue — often, on both sides of the argument.

This is something that Paul Ryan and you-know-who do not know or understand. And, we think, never will. We cats HISS and PURR at the same time.
