Congratulations. Just by the simple fact that you are reading this, it means you survived the apocalyptic tornadoes last night. Sure, your house may have been distributed throughout neighboring counties, and in the fortunate case that it wasn't, electricity and running water are things of the past for you. Be satisfied that you have your life, hopefully without long lingering injuries. Also, take satisfaction that your suffering will help congressional Republicans.
In a bid to become the poster child for lack of GOP empathy, the House majority leader Eric Cantor used the death and destruction of tornadoes in Joplin, Missouri to frame a new battle over the budget.
