This is not verified,(waiting for the AP story on this)
but I heard that each morning one lucky Republican Congressman gets to step up and spin a giant roulette wheel like the one on Wheel of Fortune which has all the days fun and exciting extortion demands on it.
Defund Obamacare? Turn Head Start schools into Jiffy Lubes? Run the XL pipeline through cancer treatment centers? Only the fateful Wheel of Ransom knows for sure.
You can play along at home too! They are drawing one postcard a day from their "Tell Me Why You Hate the President So Much You Are Willing To Destroy The Country Over It" write-in contest. The winner gets a complimentary tri-cornered hat and an excursion to the WWII Veterans Memorial to try out the new National Park Ranger Dunking Booth.

Ok, so I kid. But not really. Does anyone knew what the Demand Du Jour is? Are the Republicans responding at all to public pressure to end the madness?
