From this morning's Intelligencer editorial on the state's budget problems:

Politics - with some in the Legislature's Democrat Party minority blocking reasonable action by Republicans - has made the budget-balancing process frustrating for all concerned, including taxpayers.

The Democrats are blocking those "reasonable" Republican actions? To state the obvious -- the Republicans have a majority in both houses; they don't need a single Democratic vote to pass a budget.

This probably means that we'll see a Mike Myer column this weekend linking President Obama to the budgetary crisis. (You know, as part of the president's "vendetta" against the state.)

This one certainly qualifies for the "Dumbest Editorial of the Year" Award. It appears that this will be a very competitive category.
