Have you heard the latest?
Well, maybe you should put down that beverage — I love making liquid come out of your nose, but only when I’m brilliantly funny. This is funny in that “You know folks are gonna buy this one” sort of way.
You see, Mitch McConnell ‘a latest tactic is to claim that the way to end gridlock in Congress, is to elect MORE FUCKING REPUBLICANS.. I am not making this up. Here is the article http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/6087292
Remember, Mitch (aka Yertle the Turtle) was one of the architects of Gridlock.. He famously worked with other GOP leaders in an effort to ensure that the then-newly elected President Obama failed. Because you see, the GOP is more important than America. And Republicans are more important than Americans. AmmIRite Folks???
Personally, I don’t thinkEricans are that stupid. But if Americans buy that malarkey, then I am going to start selling bridges and swampland.

Not buying any bridges, but just wanted to stop by & say hello! Have missed your cheery messages, but I keep seeing your name over at Gibber’s place. I guess if I want to get messages, it would help if I actually wrote something again, right?

Can I have a bridge please to go next to the one in Sydney Harbour. And can it have a giant swing on it so we can transcend the silliness that universally afflicts all pollies … apart from which it would be fun, wouldn’t it? Please let me know when it’s ready so I can arrange the pick up:)

Yep, those that have wealth want to maintain it and consider those without wealth to be lesser humans.Republicans are not for Americans – republicans are for wealth. There are many less wealthy republican hanger-ons who also desire wealth. Wealth is threatened by democracy which preaches all are equal.
