I think I must have teleported to an alternative reality in my sleep a while back, because when I grew up, "serious" wasn't defined as "unnecessarily painful, especially to the least well off in society", but apparently it is now.

I'm totally coming around to the idea that we should just drive off the cliff and have a whole new discussion about tax cuts in the new year. Because the tax rates Obama wants will be a huge tax cut once the expiration kicks in Jan 1st. Even the fucking morons still loyal to that muppet Norquist will be able to vote for our plan, as it wouldn't raise anyone's taxes.

"your proposal contains little in the way of common ground."

And whose fault is that, dickhead?

Even a lot of crazies are starting to admit global warming's real, but now it's that people have anything to do with it and we can't do anything about it, so why try, keep pumping out coal smoke.

Glad to see Barry showing spine. That is all. Keep that spine stiff, baby.

Last Friday night, Mark Shields pointed out the Democrats' total votes for House seats exceeded the Republicans'.

Why would we expect the GNoPee to listen to the Voice Of The American People?

<i>John Boehner Outraged That Obama Is Acting Like He Won An Election</i>

After all, Romney won 100% of the votes from people who voted for him. What more do you people need to know? You should all be acting like HE won!!!11!1

Boehner doesn't have control of his tear ducts, let alone of his caucus. Seriously, he's probably one of the most ineffective and powerless Speakers in modern history. I mean, he has that twit Cantor Machiavelli-ing around him! Pelosi would have pistol-whipped that puke away on her first day.
