Congress fiddles while the country burns

Bring out more violins.  Congress has failed to pass any appropriations bills, we have NSA angering the entire world, they failed to deal with the debt limit, Iran is getting nukes, the Middle East is burning down. Obamacare has paralyzed the economy.
So what does Congress do?
  They pass a special interest bill for gays and lesbians.  I'm sure it will gain the members a few gay and lesbian votes, but really, we have have plenty of non-discrimination laws on the books, we don't really need another. 
   Congress critters ought to spend their time on things  that benefit the entire nation, not dealing out favors to special interest groups.
