Now you’ve got that theme song stuck in my head …
“Toon-ces, the driving cat, the cat who could drive a caaaar!”
And what’s the deal with Sen. Teddy pulling the strings on the House side? He says “Jump,” the House Tea Partiers have their feet in the air before he even pronounces the “p.”
Isn’t it funny that just when the Senate looked like it might come up with a plan that could pass, Cruz meets with House loons like Steve King (in the basement of a Mexican restaurant, no less) and suddenly a plan erupts out of the House to try to steal the thunder from the Senate. Of course, given the goggle-eyed lunacy of the House Tea Party, that plan had absolutely no chance of going anywhere, but it did succeed in slowing down action in the Senate.
Which Ted Cruz could have done on his own. Being a Senator, and all.
What’s his end game, anyway? Is he just Texas’ version of Senator Johnny Iselin?

Too bad that there are actually SIXverses to “Amazing Grace.” The first, second, third, and sixth are the ones I grew up singing, with the sixth being my favorite (and the one NOBODY ever sings).
So, too bad with your showy showmanship religious showboating, American Taliban.
She was just pandering to animal-rights activists! She meant to call Obama “De Furrier”!
Anybody who speaks German can’t be all bad!
And if I never again hear Amazing Grace played on the bagpipes, it will be far too soon.
Wouldn’t that be “pandaring”? 
I prefer to call it a handout.
Almost as if he felt entitled.
Here - try thisas an antidote.
You know who ELSE spoke German…
JFK?
If they *have *to sing, I’d suggest this as more appropriate. It’s a great Tea Party song.
It would be more appropriate for them to sing “I’m a Loser” or “They’re Coming To Take Me Away”.
From the article:
““All three verses, without the words written out,” Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) told a New York Times reporter. “Isn’t that impressive?””
Um, no. Impressive would be doing your job and keeping the government running without stupid last minute brinksmanship. Remembering the verses to Amazing Grace is what I’d expect from a kindergarten class.
Seems like everyone wants to get on the impeachment bandwagon this week:
Palin calls for impeachment of Obama
Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst calls for impeachment of Obama
Geniuses.
Sure. If the Treasury could actually decide where to send the money, maybe that would work. But as theLA Times says, they get about $7 billion a day, they spend about $10 billion a day, and the computers are set up to pay debts as they come due. There’s no way to interfere with that, so the “prioritizing” shit is just that. Shit.
So as near as I can tell, Palin’s saying that Obama should be impeached for failure to pay debts that the Treasury Department is supposed to pay but can’t because the House won’t do its job. Makes total sense. How could I have been so blind as to not see that?
