GOP: too stupid to live…
(maybe a lttle remedial English would help?)The Best Plan for the Sequester: Just Kill It
—By Kevin Drum| Wed Feb. 20, 2013 9:28 AM PSTJust in case I’ve never been clear about this, let me sign up with Paul Waldman on how Congress ought to handle the sequester fight:
For the record, there is a simple solution to the problem of the sequester: Congress should pass a law eliminating it. Not replacing it with a bunch of other budget cuts, not engaging in a new game of chicken, not putting it off for a month or two, not having a bunch of proposals and counter-proposals, just cancelling it, period. Then once that’s done, you can start the budget process for real, not because there’s a disaster of Congress’ own making looming in a week, but through the ordinary legislative process. If you’re holding a gun to the American economy’s head, the first thing to do is put down the gun.
Simple, right?
The use of the word ‘sequester’ is silly and incorrect in this context BTW. It means ‘to separate’ or to ‘hide away’ – as in a judge’s order to ‘sequester’ a jury; presumably to keep the jury in question from being influenced by biased media coverage or public demonstrations…
But to indicate massive across the board budget cuts? No. It’s meant to confuse and mislead, pure and simple…
No? Well let’s try a Panda-Hillary Clinton lesbian/bestial ‘hook up’ to REALLY ‘fire up the base’:
Hmmm… maybe Rachel Maddow and guest Ezra Klien can elucidate:
No? Then can we have ‘mass impeachments’ on the grounds of ‘pure evil’ and ‘abysmal stupidity’? Well at least employ ‘no extraordinary measures’ when the GOP finally flatlines in 2014!
Time to hang ‘em up, John.

It’s sad, I suppose, to watch an erstwhile ‘Great American Institution’ die the death of a ‘Thousand Self-Inflicted Cuts’… A less genteel way of putting it is ‘hari kiri’. As a kind of coup de gras, they’ve backed themselves into a corner from which there is no escape. Tsk, tsk.

Mean little bullies, having met their match, collapsed in the dirt crying uncontrollably.
Unfortunately, they seem to be prepared to burn the nation to the ground if they can’t control it.
A new focus group study showed that 87% of the public identify the word ‘Republican’ with the words ‘greed’, ‘corrupt’, ‘old white men’, and ‘criminal’.
All this is appropriate, but a lot of good people are about to get hurt by the GOP meltdown. Mean and childish bullies don’t belong in government; nor do sociopaths like Rand Paul. His vision for America is a scene from Mad Max. Unfortunately for these utter whackos, their dream of being ‘survivors’ would be awfully shattered by reality, since they’re going to be the fearful, bad-decision-making, anti-fact losers in the apocalyptic conflict they long for.
Won’t take long for Darwin to weed them out. They desperately need the Liberal State just to stay alive. Fantasy is not reality, and Libertarians and Preppers of all sorts are truly silly little dreamers.

Michelle is a great sport and the new bangs work for her too!
Ezra Klein and MSNBC’s Ira Hayes are both very bright guys who I enjoy. Here’s why:
