Rand Paul and the 10.5 Hour Yawn-Fest

     So, I heard Rand Paul talked for over 10.5 hours about something or other on the Senate Floor the other day. Yaaaaaaawwwwwnnnnn. I don't remember what he was talking about because in that time I took three naps, cleaned up some spit up, changed six diapers, walked the dogs, visited the In Laws, walked the dogs again, ate three meals, read 50 pages of "Green Mars" by Kim Stanley Robinson, put together a couple Ikea beds, cleaned up more spit up and cursed the internet gods for not sending Telecom to hook up my internet. 10.5 hours? Rand Paul, you ignorant slut...

     Look, if you want to make a point, then do it. Don't put everyone to sleep trying to make yourself look important. People lose interest after five minutes anyway, so the other 625 minutes of Paul's rant were lost. And people wonder why our government is inefficient.

     Clear and concise. To the point. No filler, just all key ingredients. Thats how all speeches should be. Don't believe me? The Gettysburg Address was one of the most famous speeches ever given in US History. It was four minutes long and President Abraham Lincoln wrote on the train from Washington, DC. It brought people to tears. It is chiseled into the wall of the Lincoln Memorial. It changed a nation. Everyone remembers that speech.

    Do you really think Paul's speech will be remembered that way?
