Are you really surprised?

Are you really surprised that:

Sears is in such financial trouble that they should be purchased by Kmart (only months after Kmart was in bankruptcy) when Sears doesn't open it's doors until 10:00am? Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot and every other store opens their doors at 6:00am or 7:00am, so why would anyone shop Sears for tools, home improvement, lawn and garden care...?

Gas is $4.00/gal and Congress takes a nice holiday break while the speculators go on and on and on, jacking the price of gasoline up without any real reason, other than to line their pockets with YOUR CASH?

The US continues to pay for Iraq's rebuilding when Iraqi's themselves are responsible more than anyone else for the decay and destruction of their infrastructure, while they sit on oil reserves and bank accounts that grow daily? Why aren't they reimbursing the US for the cost of rebuilding, security for their disfunctional "government" (haha!) etc.?

At the number of Republicans which are bailing out of Congress this year? As a dyed-in-the-wool lifelong Republican, I can tell you that the Republican Party I belonged to has been hijacked and is now the Theocratic Party, of which I will have nothing to do with. There is nothing to be feared more than a religous zealot. And our greatest threat to homeland security are the religous zealots within our own borders.

You're NOT surprised? R U N Idiot?
