No more retreat, only my sweet —

Surrender:

House Republicans have abandoned a campaign proposal by Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to draft spending bills by agency instead of lumping Cabinet departments together in bulky appropriations measures.

Boehner issued the plan in a speech on congressional reform last September, but the Appropriations Committee says it received no instructions from the leadership to follow through with it.

As a result, the committee is plowing ahead with the traditional 12 large appropriations bills, confirmed in a schedule that the panel’s chairman, Rep. Hal Rogers (R-Ky.), announced Wednesday afternoon.

Meh. Campaign promises aren’t, like, real promises. Everybody knows that.

And yes, Mr Boehner heard the American voters loud and clear. He just realizes that, now that the elections are over, he has a coupla years to completely ignore them, the stupid extremist haters.

#WINNING!

    He supposedly has a reasonable sounding excuse, but this was what I was afraid of; all posturing and weak follow through.

    We all need to light up the phone lines to our representatives. Especially the Tea-Party folks.

    Dear United Airlines,

    My United flight at 4:06 pm PT on May 1, 2011, landed in Washington, D.C., Sunday night, and the pilot came on the intercom to tell everyone to celebrate: our government had killed Osama bin Laden. This was better than winning the Super Bowl, he said.

    I think he should apologize to those passengers who choose not to cheer for the murder of anyone, no matter how much of a murderer himself, as if it were a sporting event and an occasion for joy.

    Set aside for a moment the morality of cheering for the killing of a human being — which despite the pilot’s prompting nobody on the plane did. In purely Realpolitik terms, killing foreign leaders whom we’ve previously supported has been an ongoing disaster.

    What we need is somebody who can make him cry faster than Nancy Pelosi popping out of a file drawer and yelling, “Boo!”

    Though to be fair, that would make me cry pretty damn quick too.

    Dear Moonbat,

    Thank you for your comment. There are two things we’d like to bring to your attention. They are United Flight 175 and United Flight 93. You might remember them. If not, do look them up.

    Next time, fly Lufthansa or something.

    Sincerely,
    United Airlines

    Boehner?

    Let me get out my phone book.

    We shall start with the “A’s”…..

    Wait, you wanna do this for any particular locality or should I get a bunch more phone books?

    Apparently Houston, Texas is on somebody’s mind — maybe we should start there.

    OT, but not so much. Click on that painting, and scroll around the faces for some historical synopsis. ‘The Forgotten Man‘.

  12. I see what you did there. ;D

    Ho! Ho! Stupid me.

    Let me guess again.

    I see you finally learned how to click links and read.

    I hear EricPWJohnson is on a bender, making shit up again, but I don’t know where this is taking place. Anyone know?

    Incidentally – and let’s just get this out there – still no cease and desist letter. And no further reply from the LA DDA’s office, whom I’m certain was told I’m a kook of some sort. Must be strange to have the kind of job where you’re expected to lie and twist and manipulate in order to convince people that the person before them is evil and wrong and dangerous — no matter the evidence. And be rewarded for it.

    I suspect that has a profound effect on one’s mindset.
