Uh huh. Then the worms eat into your brain.
I know I am on The thin ice, and before this thread is Up the Khyber and we have some Flaming and I have to run Like Hell and then it will be Absolute Curtains for my posting credibility, I will Stop, this Time.
It’s part of Kasich’s plan to bring jobs to Ohio.
:mad: I swear, one of these days…
We should just have our minds pre-boggled each day before reading the news.
Never been to Cleveland but I have a friend who used to live there. Pretty sleazy town, from all I hear. Lots of gangbanging activity and shit. The Drew Carey Show put too fine a gloss on it.
Can’t believe that nobody dropped this gem yet. I bring you Kentucky GOP State Sen. Brandon Smith (R-Hazard):
Dafuk? That’s some extraordinarily powerful stupid.

See It’s Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With the New Politics of Extremism, by think-tankers Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein. Mann is with the nonpartisan Brookings Institution, Ornstein is with the conservative Heritage Foundation – certainly neither has any LW or liberal bias – and both agree that stubborn ideological Pubs are almost entirely to blame for the present political gridlock in America, and for the debt-ceiling crisis and government shutdown in particular.
The … the Heritage Foundation put something out that made sense? I … I …
I have to sit.
Can someone bring me a glass of water?
Here. Now, read the book! Libraries carry it and it’s well worth a read!
Business conservatives (or what used to be known as “mainstream conservatives” before the conservative mainstream took a sharp turn to the right and started pouring off the crazy cliff) like the Heritage Foundation are generally NOT happy with the new conservative politics of extremism.
What’s in their best interests is to have a reasonably functional federal government that they can persuade voters to hate and despise just enough to support their constant chipping away at regulation, social spending, and tax rates.
When right-wing wackos start “limiting government” to the extent of actually shutting down its day-to-day operations, self-proclaimed “limited government” advocates like the Heritage Foundation get VERY nervous. Those types get oodles of money from government contracts and even more from crafting favorable government policies. Actually making government functionally ineffective would be disastrous for them.
So yeah, expect to see more business-conservative sources repudiating Teavolutionary-type sabotage of government functions.
It’s the story of Tea Party Tim and Plutocrat Pete.
How in the hell did I miss this? I just started seeing it on my news feeds yesterday. My mind is still boggling over the idiocy of it.
It is a big thread. Stuff gets lost in it. Rather quickly, apparently.
There’s quite a lot of stupidity, unending.
One reason for that might be that 60% of statements made on Fox News are false or mostly false. (Granted, NBC and MSNBC don’t score much better – 46%. CNN scores surprisingly well at 18%.)
So, instead, I get all of my news from the internets. Because, obviously, that has a much higher accuracy rate than the goddamn MSM.
Todd Akin Takes Back Apology Over ‘Legitimate Rape’ Theory
Although it should be noted percentage is relative to the number of statements the evaluate, which is necessarily a selected set of potentially controversial statements. A better measure might be just the raw count of statements that come back as false. I still bet the Fox comes out on top.
