Get
Real
 Imagine
a world where a cross is typically
only used in tic-tac-toe.
Where tithe is what a
lisper
wears
around his
neck.
Where clouds are just clouds.
Where "bible"
only means "book" (which it does.)
Where
a nun is a pigeon.
Where only Green Stamps are redeemed.
Where every fifth Mexican male isn't named
Jesus and every other American male isn't named
James, John, Robert, Michael or David.
Where every other street corner has a playground
or a library.
Where "reformation" is something you periodically
do with your comic collection.
Where you're ultimately
responsible for your actions.
Where a vast
criminal organization that uses fear of
death
to
extort
money from
ignorant people is only a bad fiction.

 "We're going to have a relentless focus on creating
jobs." -
John Boehner, February 10, 2011.
The following is a list of accomplishments
of the GOP, in
chronological order as of 2-10-2011. So far none
have resulted in one new job being created in America.
(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.
(22) Pushing for spending
caps tied to GDP.
Bad idea.
(23) Claimed credit for dropping oil prices
because they passed
a bill.
(24) Refuse to reduce
oil subsidies.
(25) Stood helplessly and watched as Senator
John Ensign made Bill Clinton look like
a Carmelite nun.
(26) Attempt to retool Rep. Paul Ryan's Medicare-killing
bill.
(27) Prevented the raising of the federal
debt limit. Let the catastrophic job loss
begin.
(28) Watches Rome
burn with their Wall Street
pals.
(29) Filibustered bill to repeal
oil subsidies.
(30) Rejected Goodwin Liu for judge
simply because Mr. Obama nominated him.
(31) Abortion. Abortion. Abortion. As in
"restrictions".
(32) Spent five hours debating
NPR, five
minutes debating Afghanistan.
(33) GOP releases their jobs plan. Hilarity
ensues.
(34) Continue to hold the debt limit hostage
in order to make more money for billionaires.
(35) Brought to the House floor a bill specifically
blaming President Obama's 2012 budget for
raising
the statutory
debt limit by
$2.4 trillion dollars,
a budget the Republican-led Congress earlier
passed.
(36) Pulled from the floor a Democratic resolution
to remove
soldiers from Libya, because
it just might have passed.
Nope. No job creation here. Seriously. Not
a fucking employment sausage. 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.
After all, you don't get rid of a sitting president
by helping the economy.
BTw, this list is getting damned lengthy, so
much so that I'm going to give it its own page,
if not its own web site, quite soon. Stay tuned.
