Well,
Blow Me Down!
 The
Texas legislature, a governing body currently
owned and operated by the GOP, is
fast-tracking
a massive tax
break for Texans
who need to buy a yacht, right in the teeth
of a $27 billion dollar budget shortfall.
I know this sounds onerous but it's actually
great news for Texas millionaires as they
can now
drift
lazily
around
the
sunny Carribbean,
sparing themselves the dreary sight of long
lines of laid-off teachers and old people being
tossed
into the
street as the Legislature makes drastic cust
to both education and social services. Deep,
deep into the heart of Texas.
Is it any wonder Superman is
renouncing his U.S. citizenship.

 February
10, 2011: "We're going to have a relentless focus on creating jobs." -
John Boehner.
So far the list of GOP accomplishments for 2011 is:
(1) Attempted curtailing of abortion rights.
(2) Attempted defunding of Planned Parenthood.
(3) Attempted defunding of NPR.
(4) Investigating Muslims.
(5) Declaring English as America's Official Language.
(6) Reaffirming "In God We Trust". Yawn.
(7) Challenging AARP's tax-exempt status.
(8) Approved defunct funding for failed
religious schools.
(9) Attempt to destroy Medicaid.
(10) Attempt to destroy Planned Parenthood
(11) Shutting down the government
(12) Attempt to destroy the EPA.
(13) Attempting to eliminate financial
counseling.
(14) Passed a House budget that gives $4 trillion in tax cuts to the
rich.
(15) Spend $500,000 to discriminate against gays.
(16) Continued
toadying for the rich.
(17) Pretending the deficit is to blame for slow
job growth.
(18) De-funded SETI.
(ARGH!!!!!!!)
(19) Tried to kill Chrysler two years ago... which is now going to
pay
back all its government loans.
(20) The Judicial
Branch of the GOP, the Supreme Court, votes
5-4 to deny
consumer class-action suits.
(21) Redefining
rape. Yes, redefining rape.
Nope. No job creation here. Move along. Move
along.
I'll keep adding to this list until the Republican
House does something to create jobs. I unhappily
predict this is gonna be one lonnnnng list.

 And
what manner of lie is Fox News spewing today? Bill O'Reilly claimed
that waterboarding gave us the inside skinny on bin Laden's whereabouts...
until Donald
Rumsfeld (Yes, Donald "Known Unlknowns" Rumsfeld) sets him straight.
