I'm thinking more along the lines of oil & water don't mix!
Now, as
BoehnerOtis would agree, Scotch & water is a whole nother matter...The mere fact his counter-offer consists of extending the Bush tax cuts for the 2% is UNBELIEVABLE!
John-Boy posturing himself like he has any leverage is laughable!
*popcorn*?
perhaps instead of trying to eat your way into relevance try getting an education.
Scissor (Caesar)...what R U talking about?
Miss. Piggy,
Who cares?
Please refrain from encouraging little seizure... he is already a legend in his own mind! lol
Legend? Hardly Red Dawn, there is no way I would dare usurp your crown.
Hey piggy, i under english can be a hard language but I dont what I initially wrote was too cryptic or complex for you to figure it out. Perhaps reading a little slower you'll understand it
Irony alert!
Oh, SNAP Al! Seriously laughing out loud at that one!
I did say english can be hard language to understand. but my initial post still stands. BTW Biz Markie wants his phrase back. OH SNAP!
I think Speaker Boehner was speaking English, not english, when he was quoted on an earlier thread as saying "Listen, I was born with a glass half full".....
Oh, and Caesar, just for you, I'll re-post this from an earlier thread:
Reminds me of this t-shirt I saw in a catalog last night:
"Let's eat Grandma!"
"Let's eat, Grandma!"
(PUNCTUATION SAVES LIVES!)
[Perhaps reading a little slower you'll understand it...]
...so says Mr. I-Rah-Nee...
Aww, isn't that cute...Nauseaus Maximus slumming on FR...but you just hate this place, right? I guess hanging around where you're not wanted is better than not hanging around nobody at all, right Little Seizure?
Yeah, you know I'm right.
Little Sneezer, where did you go Monday? You had a bit of a meltdown, it seems...you know...after getting your balls stopmed..LOL...now that was classic. You ran like your tail was on fire whining "Wahh, everyone's picking on meeeee".
Oh that's right, it was. Got it handed to you as usual. You just don't know when to cut your losses, do you my little cowardly multi-reggie friend.
But hey, tell us all again how having one party, Democratic or Republican, holding all three political branches of the United States Government compares to a Communist government...and how that would be "one party rule" and how anyone who "wants that" should move to DPRK...
Or tell us all how you are in "infrastructure"...and how you know all about "Right To Work"
See, SeekingSanity is right. This is what you get for focusing on the next shiny nickel, like "Flaming Cheetos" or "20 oz. sodas" or "Benghazi" or "Wikipedia". Not too bright are you Oh Big Brained One...
Bwak! Bwak! I gotta hand it to you, TaxMan. At least you can parrot the Fox "news", Rush Limbaugh talking points like the rest of the low-intelligence voters.
PIZZA! PIZZA!
thanks JoAnne, wouldnt know what to do with you coffee house libs critiquing my grammar and spelling on such an influential blog. That's ok guys, you can always fall back on the 'You're a NAZI' meme if that doesn't work.
only in Libtardia where the biggest threat is success
Hiya Mickey!
Are you insinuating pizza boy owns a "set"?
Could of fooled me!
Neutered ankle humpers are better than the alternative, not so messy! ;o)
Punctuation saves lives....Love it!!! LOL.
[Are you insinuating pizza boy owns a "set"?]
Hey there Feisty...
Nahh, he's on the "lease to own" plan. Three more payments and those Filberts are all his!
I am going to invite Little Seizure to attend Burning Man with me next year. He'll come back a changed man...he'll still be a little man, but changed nonetheless.
He can dress as...Little Caesar...
PIZZA! PIZZA!
So, this is where all the fun ran off to! Oh, Mickey! I seriously had to run to the bathroom with my legs nearly crossed! I made it! You are a riot!
Hi there AK Girl...
Yeah, "caesar" is a real laugh-riot...did he tell you how he makes "over $250,000"? ;)
AK has got to be my most favorite place. Spent quite a bit of time in and around Talkeetna, Trapper Creek, and Cantwell.
Mickey,
I'll never forget NOBJinNJ inviting SpankMe to her
fantasyfreakfeast in Key West and even him saying thanks but I'll take a pass!Old Donna was getting her freak on! lol
In Monopoly money... possibly! At best, the little guy drives a "roach-coach" lol
Mickey, im sorry peewee but someone who idolizes Seeking, you know calling me dumb = intellectual victory, you have no credibility. Why dont you come play in the morning time. I notice you only show up after a 'hard days' work im sure. I suspect its because you can't hang or there is none of that internet access at the laundry sorting station. Atleast you can always hide behind ignorance like your boyfriend Fisty does.
Mickey remember Wiki Wiki.
LOL sure ya did Yukon Cornielius. Did ya find the bumble too.
Wiki Wiki
Oh, all nice places, but there are just so damn many and this state is so big I think it will take me the rest of my life to see as much of it as I can, but I have to say that I am as happy as a clam right here in my own little Alaskan paradise.
I put pizza boy on ignore a long time ago so unless you guys quote him(?) or tease him I have no idea what raving rants his comments are. If he does make over $250k then he better start making more Pizza! Pizza! cause we are gonna make the sucka pay up! HA!
[I put pizza boy on ignore a long time ago...]
He tried that with me, but it seems he couldn't find the iggy button, just like Spanky couldn't.
[LOL sure ya did Yukon Cornielius. Did ya find the bumble too.]
Gee PizzaBoy, I don't recall pulling your string... ;)
And remember: PUNCTUATION (and spelling) SAVES LIVES!
PIZZA! PIZZA!
Hey, JoAnne in PA #1.8
That's actually Paul Ryan's slogan in promoting his voucher reform to Medicare
Boehner's opposite? Dolores?
both human anatomy but opposite sex
P.S.: remember that episode of Seinfeld about his girl friend named Dolores?
"Bonehead Boehner" must be drinking too much rotten tea. Was he dropped on his head at birth? "Bonehead Boehner" is the opposite of rational, compromising, or intellectual. He is the opposite of Middle Class, the Working Poor, the elderely, and the disabled. "Bonehead Boehner" now wants to make all tax breaks for the very rich permanant! Really? He has no idea that the Democrats won the election, and that President Obama will be calling all the "Economic Shots." "Bonehead Boehner" needs to remain silent, listen carefully, take notes, and stop sending proposals from 2011. The GOP "Clown Show" is going to send our nation over the 'fiscal cliff.' Their "Blood Oath" is going too be kept, and they will never break their "Goofy Grover Tax Pledge."
headless boner?
Opposites attract ... after a while they repel ... first the priest gets rich and then the lawyer.
Who does Boehner work for anyway, is he a volunteer or his he working on commission. Is he similar to the bounty of the Saints with his pledge outside the box? Please, if you're going to represent the people, then don't make deals with the devil.
So maybe it is way past time to rally together as a nation and get some new laws (ammendments) approved.
1. If you are voted out of office as a Congressman(woman), then your benefits stop. You have just been fired! Fired employees do not get benefits.
2. Limit congressional terms to 8 years, you will get 3 months severence pay. Cobra is available for your medical insurance.
3. You can run for office but pay for it yourself.
4. Congressional members who resign get no further benefits. That includes no wages, no benefits.
5. As a nation we will pay part of your medical preiums, you pay the rest.
Now certainly the rest of you can come up with more ideas. And someone out there knows how we can make them into law.
America has been cut so much that it's bleeding to death. How much more blood does the Republicans want. Or are they waiting for America to bleed to death. Government must help its people or there will be no government left! If we all stop everything, work,shop,use electricity, buy gas, everything, then Washington will know that we are united, and will not stand for anymore of their BS. Shut this country down, completly, and shut government DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No one has a mandate. When you have a large enough majority to pass legislation regardless of the opposition then you have a mandate.
Is there one thing that Obama hasn't got what he wanted. I say just give this country to him. It's either his way or the highway. The Republicans are a bunch of wimps. This Administration is so corrupt that it stinks all the way to Kenya. Anyone that feels this country is doing great are the ones with their hands out for more easy living. I wouldn't give Obama, Pelosi, Reed a red cent until they can come up with a plan to reduce spending. Hand it over to Obama and watch this country collapse. Enjoy your multi-million dollar vacation in Hawaii Obama.
