Refreshing Honesty

It's nice to see that the political debate in America is finally producing some frank honesty.

For example, after weeks of making the patently false claim that breaking the Wisconsin public unions was necessary to save the budget, the Republicans have finally come clean and admitted the truth.

That's right, they stripped all that confusing, irrelevant budget stuff out of the bill, and passed just the union busting parts. Because it was no longer a budgetary bill, they could do it with a smaller quorum. Once they admitted what their real goal was, and stopped pretending to care about absurd concepts like "deficits," they were able to accomplish something.

And people say American politics don't work!
