Today’s Thoughts
Another cloudy day
with no moisture…weather guy says snow in the future.
Congress needs to
look at itself. I wonder if it really necessary to have most of the
Congressional Hearings to have events that are simply yelling matches.
Both sides are guilty. The American people should be demanding more…more
information, more action following the hearings, more decorum during the
hearing.
Trivia
Madder than a wet hen
To be "madder than a wet
hen" is to be extremely angry. It's rooted in the old-time practice of
Southern farmers to dunk brooding, quarrelsome hens in cold water so they could
collect their eggs.
Have a conniption
To "have a conniption" is to throw a fit or tantrum. It comes from the South, where some think it's a version of the word corruption, as in someone being corrupted by the devil.
