The New Civility, 17

The netroots are ginning up a facebook and Twitter campaign to dump trash on House Speaker John Boehner’s yard. Which, I’m pretty sure, is a crime. And just plain sad.

— Not to mention that in advertising it, organizers Nolan Treadway and Jonah Goodman have made it easier for law enforcement to find at least two of the culprits!

    Is DC trash collection really part of the Federal Budget?

    They truly are a bunch of witless wonders.

    I liked Nolan’s last tweet:

    oh, theres a link on drudge. that’s y tea baggers are flooding to fb event any #p2 wanna help out? #boehnertrash http://on.fb.me/ex507U

    Nothing like being called teabaggers by a guy who looks like he’s had more balls on his nose than a trained seal.

    Why should law enforcement have all the fun? Wingers can dump garbage on lawns, too!

    I know, Abe. I looked at his picture and the first thing I thought was, Jesus, if you’re going to spend your time nose deep in assholes, at least wash your face after.

    Heh, I used to dump my empties on my ex-girlfriend’s front lawn in high school. Of course I was a dick but then I grew up. These guys are out of high school, no?

    And beating the shit out of that dork could be therapuetic.

    Yeah, yeah – immature, stupid and probablu illegal as well. And it was Dirty Harry who managed this particular Charlie Foxtrot.

    That said, I can’t stand Mr. “Tearful” Boner, and think he deserves every bit of crap that flies his way.

    Man up, ya fuckin’ putz!

    I think this is a perfect time to illustrate the advantages of volunteer-run neighborhood watch organizations, for those times when The People’s Glorious Revolutionary Department Of Law Enforcement is busy striking or kicking down Grandma’s door in yet another botched drug raid.

    Coupla guys with shotguns and big dogs, sitting in the driveway and encouraging the activists to “Just keep walkin'” could do a world of good when it comes to keeping order.

    ‘Course, this being DC, there’s little doubt what the “real” cops would do when confronted with a man protecting his home from vandals: put the homeowner in cuffs and wave to the vandals!

    Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) compared House conservatives to a flea Friday as rhetoric in the spending fight intensified.

    Schumer, who has been criticizing Republicans all day, said in a floor speech Friday that conservatives were the flea controlling the dog, which he said in this case is a federal government that could shut down at midnight.

    “What we have here is a flea, wagging a tail, wagging a dog,” said Schumer, chairman of the Senate Democratic Policy Committee.

    “The flea are the minority of House Republicans who are hard right, the tail is the House Republican caucus, and the dog is the government,” Schumer explained. “That flea is influencing what the dog does … and it is sad.”

    “This is probably one of the worst times we’ve seen because the numbers of people elected to Congress. I went through this as co-chair of the arts caucus,” Slaughter said, according to a CNS News report. ”In ’94 people were elected simply to come here to kill the National Endowment for the Arts. Now they’re here to kill women.”

    WASHINGTON — The impending government shutdown has DC congressional delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton more than just a little upset.

    “It’s time that the District of Columbia told the Congress to go straight to hell,” she said in an interview with Fox 5 Morning News Thursday.

    Norton said the Republican Party has repeatedly attacked the District’s right to govern itself and is treating DC residents like “colonists of the Congress.”

    “We’re absolutely outraged,” Norton said. “This is the functional equivalent of bombing innocent civilians.”

    Anybody who can refer to the denizens of DC as innocent civilians with a straight face deserves some kind of award.
