Senator Han Solo of Corellia added: "I've got a bad feeling about this."

Grand Moff Tarkin would sneer at the Republicans, though. He was a man of culture and refinement (I mean, he had a British accent!), not an addled boob! One needs style and finesse when one is committing planeticide!

Supercommittee should create a special appropriation to send Ted Cruz into outer space, and then shutdown the government when its time for him to comeback.

That's what Boehner calls his morning whiskey binge.

That "amazing technicolor" is Boehner's whiskey-soaked orange.

A lot of people, including surgeons, fail to realize that what makes great surgeons is great reflexes and quick decision-making in a specialized environment. Generally, great surgeons are more appropriately compared to Peyton Manning than to any academic or politician.

...nice to see that house Republicans learned all of the negotiating skills from Grand Moff Tarkin from Star Wars:

<em> Princess Leia: But Alderaan is peaceful! We have no weapons, you can't possibly... Governor Tarkin: [impatiently] Would you prefer another target, a military target? Then name the system! I grow tired of asking this so it'll be the last time: Where is the rebel base? Princess Leia: ...Dantooine. They're on Dantooine. Governor Tarkin: There. See, Lord Vader, she can be reasonable. Continue with the operation; you may fire when ready. Princess Leia: WHAT? Governor Tarkin: You're far too trusting. Dantooine is too remote to make an effective demonstration - but don't worry; we'll deal with your rebel friends soon enough. </em>
