poor choice of words.

"There is only one guarantee — that if we don't pass something the notion of trying to put Humpty Dumpty together again is a real long shot," said Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., son of Edward Kennedy. "It's a lot easier to pass something and fix it later."

Did Mr. Kennedy realize that using Humpty Dumpty - the big egg that fell off the wall and couldn't be FIXED - as an example, was a poor choice if the next sentence out of your mouth is "[i]t's a lot easier to pass something and fix it later."? Cause the moral of Humpty is that once something is broken or wrong, it CAN'T be fixed. That is the reason you should have a GOOD, COMPLETE, and SOUND piece of legislation to begin with.

I would argue that statement by Mr. Kennedy sums up almost all that is wrong with our political leaders right now.

Our grandparents had it right all along.

"Anything worth doing, is worth doing right." And "if you go right at first, it is easier to go right all along."
