GO OVER THE DAMN CLIFF.

If they manage to do anything today beyond tax increases, it will be beyond obvious that all this has been kabuki. And not terribly good theater at that.

I will be furious. However, since it's almost two solid years until mid-terms, I don't know what I will do with my fury.

1. I tire of being furious. Not that we are not justified in our outrage.

My wife tells me how easy it would be, to be a true believer, like the teabaggers she works with. They go through life believing anything they are told by Fox "News" and the rest. They don't have much to think about. We, on the other hand, rightly view what we are told by "our side" with suspicion.

2. They swallow anything they're told

Just like prison Bitches.

3. Wish I could read that, formercia.

I cannot connect with DU3. I could connect for a while. They must have caught me. They fear I will say something true about the President.

4. I'll copy and paste it for you...BRB

"I hope you Bitches are tired of being lied to.
The boys made lots of loot selling you guns, survival supplies and other stuff by blowing a lot of smoke up your collective asses. They suckered you at the Millenium, 9/11, Iraqi Weapons of Mass destruction, alCIAda and how many other scams meant to drive you to the Big Box Stores to stock-up on the latest survival gadget.

Had enough yet?...Have fun paying off those Credit Cards you maxed-out, suckas. :rofl:"

5. I guess that depends on what your definition of "our side" is.

Apologies to Bubba, who definitely was not on my side.

6. It's a joke to them.

Ha ha. A posed shot of a clown looking at his watch because Congress acted at the very last minute it could.

With apologies to Jonathan Swift, I have another modest proposal. Fire everyone in D.C.
