Bravo, Sir! Bravo!

Bunning Launches One-Man Filibuster

Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY) began a filibuster late last night "against a bill with several popular provisions aimed at people hit hardest by the recession. So far, he is succeeding," Roll Call reports.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) organized a group of Democrats "to man the floor for a potential all-night session. But after three hours of often heated debate -- during which Bunning could be heard yelling obscenities at other lawmakers -- Durbin dropped his efforts for the evening shortly before midnight."

Now, set aside your political leanings for just a moment. Maybe we should convert this to sports analogy, as style dictates these days. A one man defensive line just ground the 59 man offensive line of the opposing team to a halt. Single handedly over three hours this one man proved once and for all and without a doubt that it wouldn't matter if you had 99 Democratic Senators elected to the upper house, they'd all get their dicks knocked in the dirt every single last time by one man with the courage of his convictions.

"Republican Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY) on Thursday night expressed his opposition to renewing unemployment benefits on the Senate floor with an unusually harsh message for its backers: 'Tough shit.'"

Good Morning Amerika, How Are Ya?

Students propose new patriotic policies
THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

FULLERTON - Student-written policies for daily patriotic exercises and the display of a U.S. flag in every classroom go to the Fullerton Joint Union High School District board for final adoption Tuesday night.


The proposed policies, researched and developed by the district's Student Advisory Council, are in response to students and residents who urged the board last July to follow the state education code, which mandates certain patriotic activities.


Students noted that some classrooms lacked flags, and that the Pledge of Allegiance wasn’t recited daily.

[GASP]. A classroom without a flag is like a motel room without a Gideon Bible!

Marshal, Marshall, Marshall.

John Galt Also Flies Piper Cherokee

So the guy who flew his plane into the Austin IRS building was a signer of the Mount Vernon Statement? Far out.

At the request of my comrades and cohorts....

When I first was presented with the piece about the young woman whose "trash-talking" Facebook Page about one of her teachers was considered protected free speech and thus her lawsuit for being unfairly suspended could proceed this morning, my first reaction was, "Perhaps, if you spent more time doing your fucking homework and less time on Facebook, you might have a better relationship with said teacher."
You kids, you have no idea how easy you got it today. Why, in my day, when you wanted to write a disparaging comment about a teacher or other school official you were limited to the use of an El Marko or Super Fat Wide El Markos ( a type of writing implement) on the bathroom stall wall and so even then your audience was limited to whomever had to take a shit: "Mr. Fitzpatrick sucks rat balls." And the janitor would take it down over the weekend (see, even our acts of vandalism provided gainful employment for those charged with undoing our carnage)Now, you have Facebook, MySpace and Twitter upon which you can spend entire evenings describing in glorious detail how Mr. Fitzpatrick sucks rat balls and half the Western Civilized world can share in this with you. Of course, you could do your homework, but what's the fun in that...that's for non-cool kids. And then like, what is so hella cool is we got this thing, this piece of paper written a long ago that says I can say or write anything I want about Mr. Fitzpatrick and how he licks rat balls and no one can do anything to me because this is America and like we're totally free to say whatever we want and that what makes us so great. And my dad, got this totally awesome lawyer, who's going to sue everyone including Mr. Fitzpatrick so he can't lick rat balls any more. And I'm put it all over my Facebook Page and if anyone has a picture of Mr. Fitzpatrick licking a rat ball that would hella cool, too.
