Because being elected to federal office means you're better than the cattle.

See you calmed down ED.

There's always that initial volcanic reaction, isn't there? Blindly hammering away at the keyboard I go, frothing at the mouth and chomping at the bit.

That hammering can throw your arse in jail too, just saying..

I'll be sure to circulate a newsletter and update my blog in the fleeting seconds before my smart phone is smashed and my head black-bagged, I assure you. Women will weep waterfalls, I'm positive. :o

"Waterfall"?

Wouldn't they "cry a river of tears"? Seems to me that a waterfall is just part of a river:)

But the good thing is--they are women weeping!

Well, I didn't want to put such a down-spin on my potential keel-haul to Room 101, y'know? Waterfall's a bit more poetic~

. I'm looking for further precedence and I wonder why, given 3 wars, our current commander-in-chief has not done so. Would he really use their lives as political pawns?

Oh Pleseeese; get serious. That is exactly what the republi-clowns are doing. If the republi-clowns cared so much about the troops, then why did they vote against the VA benefits?

Republicans don't care about deficits or the troops or America unless it helps them line their corporate masters pockets as well as their election coffers.

Republicans are bringing up ideological demands because they want to flummox the public into thinking the President is weak so they regain the White House at the expense of destroying America.

It is nothing more than floccinaucinihilipilification

definition:

"action or habit of estimating as worthless," 1741, a combination offour Latin words ( flocci, nauci, nihili, pilifi ) all signifying "at a smallprice" or "for nothing,"

This is a shame!

Bev…all you had to say is you don’t know or say nothing at all.

By the way…. supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Bev., honey - for someone as challenged as you seemed to be with the English language, perhaps this is not the right time for you to be trying to pick up Latin.

I just here to help. :)

Besides you just can't spin away the fact that Obama has played political games with the troops. You know, deeming them non-essential and all.

Spanky:

Res ipsa loquitur.

I was harping on that same thing yesterday, Obama chose not to make the military essential not anybody else.

Anna,

Nice, my daughter can read and write Latin, it's taught at her school, god education is a wonderful thing!!

Irony?

So if military personnel are still working but not getting paid….isn’t that slavery? Aren’t there laws governing pay and the timely issuance of pay?

Look everybody....

Bev found a new word and she is using it in MULTIPLE posts here today! (Hahahahaha!!!)

BTW...

Not paying the military is a COWARDLY thing to do. The Obama is exacting pain on the families of those brave soldiers as a means of getting what HE wants not what WE want.

WHAT A COWARD!

Oh, Mirror of Truth I'm laughing hysterically. You looked in your mirror and just reiterated what I said about the republi-clowns with your word.

Many thanks for admitting that the republi-clowns demands are bullSh!t

" The Obama is exacting pain on the families of those brave soldiers as a means of getting what HE wants not what WE want."

So- this only works in one direction? What about "Boehner getting what HE wanats not what WE want"? Would that be a similar statement, only from an opposite perspecive? The glass is half full. No, the glass is half empty. Obama is half-slow. No, Boehner is half-fast.

Perspective and perception. Kind of like smoke and mirrors, huh?

Sick,

The new words come from the "Word of the Day" Toilet paper. Can be purchased at any recycle center in America:)

That is so true AM.

But you need to stop with the latin - it's making some of the natives restless.

So, what's you take - are the fine dems in Wisconsin going to sit there at take the white hot Franken that is getting shove up their collective bee-hinds?

I don't think there will be much of a choice. It seems that the votes found last night will more than likely give the GOP their victory.

Maybe they should start rallying in Ohio. Aren't they doing the same thing in their legislature?

Sorry DBO... But Boehner is NOT the one that declared military personnel as 'non-essential'.

Your boy did that ;-)

OH and BTW... Boehner and his crew are doing EXACTLY what we voted them into office for... STOP THE RIDICULOUS SPENDING AND GET THIS MESS UNDER CONTROL!

Maybe Obama thinks the military isn't essential because he can always borrow that from China too.

Whichever side causes the shutdown, the net effect is the same. One side can blame the other. And will.

So who is the Bishop, Rook, King, & Queen?

We all know that Boehner is the knight in ___________— armor. (make up your own words)

Oh, I love Mad Libs! :D

Boehner is the knight in ___________— armor.

WAY too easy: "shiny-object"

Maybe we can have a timeline for this particular shutdown. It could show how Speaker Nancy Pelosi valiantly attempted to pass a 2011 budget, in 2011, only to be denied her goal by the evil Republicans filibustering it in the House (Don't laugh, there have been posts with that very reasoning). It could show how Senate Leader Harry Reid debated the budget in his Senate, only have the evil Republicans also filibuster it in the Senate (would have been hard to do, Harry never brought the budget up). And we could see links to videos of President Obama pounding the podium, demanding that the 2011 budget be sent to him, "For the American People!!"

Yeah, show us that stuff.

Thanks big bear! just came from another FR blog, seems that it is party time there for collapsed posts.

Dang American,

I left those blogs so I could communicate without objection. I sure hope they don't follow you:)

lol, I had to hide somewhere, I even paid bev and fiesty a compliment and still got collapsed, rather entertaining thou, maybe tommorow I will go back to see what got restored.

Ok, never afraid to learn dragon, what is IRL trolling?

Trolling, you know, griefing people online - or OL - as opposed to trolling IRL - 'in real life.'

Thanks dragon, just not up on acronyms like IRL.

S'cool. I'm a loser in tandem with being a child of the Internet. Knowing useless information pretty much goes hand-in-hand with the aforementioned.

Sounds like some open-wheel racing deal....

And may we yet have many more! Give me plenty of excuses to keep downing the Crown. :|

Well, we know where the money is. ED is spending it on Crown. Us poor folks are having to make our own. Doesn't taste as nice, but has a much bigger kick:)

If I could make my own without potentially blowing my face off I would. 8D

Well with the wealth of information on the internet--it isn't very hard to find a design right for you. My problem right now is finding the ingredients--still to cold to grow stuff where I am at. And I don't have a greenhouse--but spring is just around the corner--down to my last bottle:)

Bu..b..b..ut...! Work! Labor! Personal endeavor! These aren't American qualities! I'll just do as others do - complain loudly that someone else is distilling my moonshine while I have to throw hard-earned [sic] dollars down on the counter to acquire it.

I thought we all worked, I just can't sleep most nights, which allows me more time to fiddle around with the recipes.

I have come to the conclusion that I might miss something if I go to sleep, therefore, if the world does end at midnight tonight, I want to see it. Or I will be watching some movie on HBO--will decide later:)

If the world ends before I finish off that bottle of Crown, there will be words between myself and whichever omniscient presence - if any - resides at the end of the universe. :|

Wasn't there a song a few year back, by Aerosmith, "DREAM ON"

I can't believe that you get that from the numbers. Why did Jimmy Carter--the world's worst president ever--have to fight with his own party, especially when he had such vast majorities. Maybe you should wake up and smell the roses their June--our entire government is corrupt with sell outs, not just one party. And if you believe that one party is cleaner than the other, you are living in Disney!!
