#1 It won't happen, the congress critters are too freaking spineless.

#2 I hope the Congress does order her arrested. Holder and the Champ have nothing but contempt for the Congress, seeing it as an illegitimate body and impediment to their social justice agenda. As soon as Congress orders her arrested, Holder will direct that the FBI release her, and if she doesn't have it already, she'll be provided Federal protective status. We may very soon see where the actual power currently lies in Washington.

Lerner will stick to her guns and say nothing, even if immunity is offered. Holder and his DoJ have already met with Lerner and made their deals, the details of which they will not be disclosed. I seriously doubt she will ever be arrested or detained. Congress knows this. Their timidity betrays them.

The Lois Learner controversy is a minor distraction when compared to the turmoil that will ensue if the pubs take control of both houses of Congress. The fight with the God-King and his enforcers has only just begun.

#3 The Reps and Senators in Congress are not people like us. They are professional insiders and their purpose is Big Government and POWER.Contempt for ordinary Americans is natural to manipulative Leftists who want to Control your every thought...that is what PC is for...Democrats USE people naturally. Republicans ,on the other hand, like Big government as long as they HAVE it to use themselves. They don't actually TRUST ordinary Americans. They are an ELITE that slavers after POWER ( as long as they CONTROL it
Limit a Reps or a Senators term...put them away from POWER and they will not stay or be allowed to stay. Open government to ordinary people.

You can't ALLOW that can you? MONEY gets people elected and the US doesn't have a government except by people with lots and lots of money. Eventually if you want to be free you are going to need to remove King George from Washington DC. It is practically inevitable.

The US govt. will kill you and walk if they think they can. Nero is always there on the balcony. But he better stay off the streets.

#4 Capital letters. WTF is it with posts containing capital letters? Is it the poster saying to the reader "you're too damn stupid to read and understand, so I have to 'drive it home' for you?"

#5 I would call her arrest a small start. Keep going up the chain.

#6 Caps are just a way to place an emphasis in print as one would in speech. Italics and bold font are others, but not as accessible to those of us who are but marginally computer-literate. As in speech, a little emphasis is a good thing, while too much emphasis is just shouting.

#7 Sorry 3646, the only TOE authorized CAPs position is encumbered by Joe, and over-strength manning is unfortunately prohibited.

#8 I dunno, I like, sorta like the CAPS. Totally, ya know?

#9 American politics, imho, now resembles the NFL Pro Bowl. Everybody shows up at an exotic (OK, so my analogy falls a little short here, but there is access from Dulles.) location expecting the game to go nice and nice.

The fans have something to look at and drink to, the players are engaging in a physically riskless game and the people putting on the show make the $.

#10 There can only be ONE JOE.

#11 When posters get overly CAPPY
In hope that their prose will be SNAPPY
The noisier copy
Appeals to the gawpy
But REALLY makes Pappy unhappy.

As career patronizer and occasional CAPS sinner in youth, I think it's more laziness than overkill. It's hard work typing all those asterisks and underscores some folks use for emphasis, and it's REALLY hard work puffing up sticky little blobs of emotion into imposing balloons of cotton-candy prose and editing them back down again. Takes the wind right out of you. Or so I've heard. Of course, I (capped) only ever used DUH CAPS as a clever 18th Century affectation. Faw faw faw.
