Morning in America: Butthurt Achieved

After tonight's idiocy in the House, I'm prepared to turn over legislative authority to the robots.

How about just the Democrats?

So, in exchange for shutting down the government and bringing the country close to defaulting, the GOP received a reiteration of something that was already in the PPACA.

I really don't know what to say, other than it's apparent that the Democrats finally brought a gun to a gun fight.

Sounds like we need some GUN CONTROL AMIRITE

Holy crap.

As the House finished their vote to reopen the federal government and raise the debt ceiling, the House stenographer decided it was a good time to let everyone know her feelings about God, Congress, and the Freemasons.

"He [God] will not be mocked," the stenographer, apparently named Molly, yelled into the microphone as she was dragged off by security. "The greatest deception here is that this is not one nation under God. It never was. It would not have been. The Constitution would not have been written by Freemasons. They go against God. You cannot serve two masters. Praise be to God. Praise be to Jesus."

Yet another sherson snowed by the Antarctic Reptoid conspiracy.

Whatever. Get back to work.

With pleasure.

I hope you stupid bastards are happy. Now we have a goddamn worthless government again.

Seriously, it wasn't really a gun fight. It was more like John Boehner trying to sell an ice sculpture. The Democrats didn't really do anything but wait the GOP out.

Boehner and McConnell are sort of like Epstein and Hoyer with Ted Cruz playing Al Yellon, except in this bizarro-world, Yellon gets to take the reins of the team in time for the trade deadline and hilarity ensues. The only difference is that more people come out to Wrigley Field for a lazy August afternoon game with the Padres than have registered on the exchanges for health insurance. The problems with the ACA won't go away, and Harry Reid (let's pass this in the early morning hours on Christmas Eve), Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama and Kathleen Sebelius cannot run away from that.

And this is coming from someone who likes Cruz.

(let's pass this in the early morning hours on Christmas Eve)

Just using an existing playbook.

(Medicare D) came to a vote at 3 a.m. on November 22. After 45 minutes, the bill was losing, 219-215, with David Wu (D-OR-1) not voting. Speaker Dennis Hastert and Majority Leader Tom DeLay sought to convince some of dissenting Republicans to switch their votes, as they had in June. Istook, who had always been a wavering vote, consented quickly, producing a 218-216 tally. In a highly unusual move, the House leadership held the vote open for hours as they sought two more votes. Then-Representative Nick Smith (R-MI) claimed he was offered campaign funds for his son, who was running to replace him, in return for a change in his vote from "nay" to "yea." After controversy ensued, Smith clarified no explicit offer of campaign funds was made, but that he was offered "substantial and aggressive campaign support" which he had assumed included financial support.

$1 trillion in unfunded spending, ladies and germs!

Let's repeal them both!
