BATTLE OF THE BILLS

I dunno why the quality is so bad, maybe it's the cigar smoke.

Something's gotta be written about how quick libs are to want to make "hard nosed" decisions like murdering children is okay or whatever. Some weird psychological reflex. Maybe the conservative bullying of them being naive hits home and they jump at the chance to show they're a real adult or something. But it's just so strange because objectively the "hard nosed" decision they're making is the absolute easiest one for them to support. It isn't hard at all.

It's easy for them to support because it serves their interests. It's hard nosed because acknowledging that it supports their interests means acknowledging that they have the same interests as the people they position themselves as being against.
