To treat insomnia and remove excess brain cells

I've been watching the House debate on C-Span, and, a few minutes ago, I was forced to ask, Why did the people of Michigan elect a concern troll to Congress?

The rest of the Repubs are pushing the same, tired, old talking points, comparing Iraq to WWII, or to the American Civil War. In other words, this is an existential threat to the United States. Of course, in that case, we need to stop half-assing it, slap a draft in place, and gear up all those shuttered factories to crank out tanks and bullets and bombers. Let's impose government rationing plans. They want WWII, let's have some sacrifice from someone other than the military, from the white and well-off, as well as from the overwhelmingly poor and brown.

Yeah, okay, the GOP are the party of disingenuous assholes, what else is new since 1900 or so?
