For some reason, I've always been fascinated with the word "heretic" Perhaps it's the Devil's Advocate in me (oh! What a pun!). Perhaps its because I love being ‘heretical.'

Well, will congress put the country or their own political careers first? You’d think they should be one and the same but we know they aren’t.
