Act like you've been there before!

We all know that politicians love sports metaphors. So, here's one for the Republican Senate.The phrase comes from football when our local heroes are fond of celebrating in the endzone like it's the only time they ever scored a touchdown or ever hope to. Or at least that's how it comes across. Coaches say: "act like you've been there before". In other words, instead of dancing the funky chicken, or forming a human pyramid, or whatever, just put the damn ball down and move on.So, who is inclined to excessive celebration? In football terms, it's either some lucky 330 pound bastard with a number in the 60s or 70s who looked up and saw the ball plop into their giant mitts and really never will get to the 'house' again (ok, give them their moment. It'll pass) or it's some yokel who should count themselves lucky that Eastern West Dakota Tech had a football program, much less being overpaid to tote the rock on national TV.So, Republicans, act like you've been there before.The Cons control the House, the Senate, the Presidency and everything else that isn't tied down, but they are acting like this is the only time they have ever been in control of government and think it will be the last.How else do you explain the fact that instead of doing the people's business: fixing the deficit (that they broke) and making our roads, schools and commerce better, they decide to spend their 'P'litical Cap'tal' on gutting Social Security, giving away tax money to rich bastards and changing the Filibuster rule?Seems like they think they should grab all the glory they can before they get tossed out on their asses. Guilty consciences, or just realistic? I hope it's just realistic.So, enjoy your 30 seconds of fame, Cons. We'll be back shortly after this beer commercial.
