Shake down the thunder

This Blog long has made happy sport of the university it likes to call Our Lady Of The Has-Beens, a lovely little spot off the Indiana toll road that once played successful football back in the days shortly after Holy Mother Church got done wrasslin' with the Saracens. Anyway, a former player at this college has become a congresscritter from Pennsylvania, and he apparently drew on his gridiron career there -- and on some language of which Our Lady likely would not approve -- to put some iron in the spines of his fellow Republicans last night when they decided not to do anything, at least not immediately.

I mean, is that adorable or what?
And then the whole GOP caucus went out and lost the Chick-Fil-A Bowl.
