My Day Is Already Complete

Here's an example of how far the mind rot has spread in Washington, DC. I received this in an e-mail from the Progressive Congress Action Fund, an organization that had largely been critical of the Congress' lack of useful action on health care reform until recently:

We're proud of the role the progressives in Congress played in making the health care reform package sensitive to the needs of diverse communities, tough on insurance companies and more likely to cover more Americans who need healthcare the most.

They provided a link for a virtual "Thank You card" to congressional progressives for the wonderful job they did. This organization is run by former Slobber And Spittle Blue candidate Darcy Burner. If there's anyone in DC who knows that these people need a kick in the ass and a few months of unemployment to focus their minds on what really matters, it's she. Yet she wrote this tripe.

Needless to say, I unsubscribed from that list immediately. I find it interesting that an organization whose purpose, to use its words:

Connecting the progressive movement, ideas, and Congress.

doesn't have a place on its form to explain why you're unsubscribing.

Anyone else who has unsubscribed is welcome to use the comments section here as the missing part of that form.

Put them in the screw them all bin with the rest of the people who have outlived their usefulness to the people they thought they were there to help.

Meanwhile, thanks to having unsubscribed to several lists in the last few days thanks to the utter uselessness of these organizations, I'll be getting less junk e-mail.
