You really want to blame a republican? What a country, no one accepts responsibility for their own actions. its always someone elses fault.

No. You did not imagine this story. It is fact.

There's no mystery here: Snyder and his "drown them in a bathtub" government did it. I hope the fucking tea bagger rots in jail.

Obvs. I've made several non-snark comments about this avoidable tragedy caused by criminal gop governor. I've been shoveling for 3 hrs. Now a glass of wine. Watching old X-Files and thinking of simpler times.

So...they're going to shoot the water pipes?

Would it be skirting Da Rules to suggest that there are indeed many ways to serve?

I know, but it's too early in the week for me to generate enough faux rage to go full teahadi on my diction.

Hey, Conrad Black served some time. Looked so cute in an orange jumpsuit.

Oh, I'm sure the good ol' boys brought lots of shovels and picks and tons of that pioneer spirit, and have every intention of digging right in and helping replace the toxic pipe. You know, like a barn raising! They'll only need to shoot any nasty old government inspectors or contractors that might show up.

When the people who are always getting fucked by these asshole, (about 99% of the citizens of the USA), finally get pissed off enough that it is going to make the French Revolution look like a spirited high school debate.

You know, the 99% MIGHT go the way of 1920s Italians or 1930s Germans. The question isn't whether the current shit-show will collapse, is whether it'll be replaced by something better or much, much worse.

I feel your pain. I had to unceremoniously rouse my teenagers who were slumbering sweetly through another snow day off from school when my car got stuck in the pile in front of my driveway. I got to the office late and most everybody cancelled anyway.

Did my shoveling Sat/Sun -- thank Zeus. I really should buy a snowblower. Twenty five years ago when I moved to NoVa I never would have thought that. Enjoy the wine and the new X-files tonight.
