Politicians - WAKE UP!

I like reading the blog PerezHilton.com - some might see it as frivolous but I think its brilliant pop culture - it keeps me up to date on all different kinds of trends - good bad and ugly.

I'm still furious with the Legislatures - they are arguing and refusing to come to compromises when the state is collapsing all around them - what will it take for them to put aside their stupid politics and put other people - their constituents - before themselves?

The following is from PerezHilton's web site listing - only in part - our country's current struggles. Legislatures - HEY DUMB ASS - Yeah you in the back... take a look and wake up! (This was just in the last few weeks.)
