Wimpy Congress Finally Stands Up, but...

So, it's a good thing Congress finally got enough cojones to override GWB's veto of the water bill, since as Robert Hass said last year in his Green Arts visit to Flint, water is likely to be what we'll fight the next war over.

But does anybody else find it unsettling that it had to be water that finally got Congress together, and not health care for poor kids? Who are these people running our country?
