Dissin' The Dufii

            For House obstructionists, dufii is being used as the plural (more than one) of dufus.

            One of the striking revelations to surface recently is that some obstreperous members of the U.S. House adamantly insist they will not be disrespected.  If that doesn’t demonstrate they are out of touch with reality, really, what’s it going to take?  Already more than 90% of Americans think their performance stinks.  But who’s counting?  Answer: Nobody in the House.  It’s the penultimate example of “Nobody’s home!”  Maybe it’s time they stopped listening to their particular 5%.  Maybe what’s in the best interests of America ought to get 90% of their attention.  That, and the stupid notion that they might not be 100% right about everything.

            There are problems with the Affordable Care Act, to be sure.  Who but a bull-headed dufus would think it’s appropriate to shut down the government until it’s all fixed?  We have problems with the Farm Bill too.  Should we shut down the government until that’s all ironed out?  So, you see it isn’t reason behind all the B.S.  It’s politics—whip the ‘base’ into a frenzy, grab some free publicity, and own the day.  For otherwise good-hearted, reasonable people to act so capriciously, the spoils of victory must be immense.  Perhaps politics is another word for greed.

            Around here, we think the measure of Americans’ wrath should be meted out in loud, unapologetic, public disrespect of the dufii who have trashed the U.S. House of Representatives.
