An unnamed Republican congressman explained Thursday that the government shutdown was a whole lot like the Battle of Gettysburg: "I would liken this a little bit to Gettysburg, where a Confederate unit went looking for shoes and stumbled into Union cavalry, and all of a sudden found itself embroiled in battle on a battlefield it didn't intend to be on, and everybody just kept feeding troops into it," the congressman said. "That's basically what's happening now in a political sense. This isn't exactly the fight I think Republicans wanted to have, certainly that the leadership wanted to have, but it's the fight that's here."
Oh, so you choose the inevitable complete and utter defeat the French would have suffered if they kept fighting, or the complete and utter defeat the Germans did actually suffer?
Given their attitude to SNAP, I'm sure they have your colleagues in the studio recording PSAs: "Shoes, they're what's for dinner. Just don't eat the bootstraps, you'll need those later!"
I read an interview this morning where Scalia was talking about how the Devil doesn't possess people these days because he's gotten "wilier", and now he's trying to convince people he doesn't exist.
It's like when you use parliamentary procedures to essentially overthrow a government that you're only elected as a partial majority to one of the branches, and then you kind of realize you've taken powers that America never intended for you to have, by design, but because there are swaths of the populace that have been tricked by special-interest and corporate-funded media who are far louder than their actual numbers, but then you compulsively fornicate with a chicken while tongue-punching the analogybox?
Didn't he make the trains run on time?

Something something discontent.

&quot;But ze whole point of such a weapon, is zat you <em>tell</em> people about it&quot;
Oh, I think they <i>understand</i> all those things. They just despise them.
Shoes for the Dead!!
&quot;What are you going to do, bleed on me?&quot;
Suddenly, the Maginot Line makes more sense.
Good DAY!
He&#039;s Blowtop.
I am not volunteering for the trench run on that Death Star, thank you very much.
Did somebody say something?
Excuse me? Making fun of Republicans is 90% of what we do.

This is just like that.
