Just in case you weren't paying attention, congress just passed a bill allowing us to go to war with Iran.

Yeah, that one was under the radar screen.

Quite honestly, I am so sick of the news and politics at the present moment. I get like this every few weeks where I just become apathetic. I'm not anti-government, but I think the people that run our government (generally, both parties included) suck.

These days, I'm not even sure they just generally suck. There are so few politicians in office right now that aren't absolutely pathetic, I just don't understand. I feel like the government has lost all pride in the country.

Yeah...though I no longer read the Grey Lady. Too many coachings from the administration.

There's the full text of that part of the amendment to the amendment to the bill. I believe (b)(4) is the crux of the issue.

here's a good look at the before and after of the bill, as the NY times neglects to tell you exactly what the two paragraphs changed.

Has anybody bothered to tell Iran?

I think they know.
