The Senatorial Brain Drain

We are sometimes given the opportunity to witness grown people elected by us to the US Senate behave like brainless idiots. Yesterday was a good example of Senatorial Brain Drain in its full glory. The Senate voted 90-6 against funding to close the Guantanamo Detainee Prison because they objected to the prisoners being relocated to prisons in the USA that are used to imprison the most violent criminals anywhere in the world. Now if I am correct are not the US prisons, such as Alcatraz and other equally isolated prisons, used to incarcerate serial killers, murderers including mass murderers, domestic terrorists, presidential assassins, weapon smugglers, mailbox bombers, traitors, and death row inmates?

Well the US Senate seems to think that those imprisoned at Guantanamo are too dangerous to be imprisoned with the likes of those included in the latter list. If this is not the epitome of total brain drain it must be very close. We should all be overjoyed to have Senators who are so intelligent that they want to segregate the most violent prisoners currently in Federal penitentiaries from the possible terrorists in Guantanamo. Perhaps we should send all viscous prisoners now in US prisons to Guantanamo and allow mass mayhem to settle the problem.

Now that our esteemed Senate is emboldened to protect us from contaminating violent prisoners with possible foreign terrorist detainees (even if they are kept in solitary confinement) we can all rest assured that our Senators will always be alert and think sensibly about all the issues that confront our nation. We are certainly in good hands even if the brains are missing!
