The Dream of the Progressive Regulatory State

A July microcosm. From US News & World Report:

Many House and Senate conservatives are reviving their battle against federal regulations, claiming that the president hasn’t stopped issuing job-killing rules during the debt ceiling fight. “While Washington and Americans have been focused on the debt ceiling, the Obama administration has continued to roll out more crushing red tape,” said a spokesperson for Wyoming Republican Sen. John Barrasso, who’s been championing the regulation fight.

[…]

At Tuesday’s GOP Senate caucus lunch, the lawmakers said that they will renew their efforts, supported by business groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. In a memo Barasso handed out to the lawmakers, he claimed that the administration in July only has put in $9.5 billion in new regulatory costs by proposing 229 new rules and finalizing 379 rules. Among those he cited were EPA, healthcare reform, and financial regulatory reform rules.

Sure. But all of them protect children, the elderly, and the poor — while making the fatcats in yachting spats pay their fair share.

Complaining about it only reinforces what we all have long known: conservatives want to kill children, minorities, and old people — while the progressives want to protect those vulnerable groups, mostly by government mandated funding for morning after pills, food stamp expansion, and sober, serious, economically sound death panels.

So shut up, racist Hobbits.

    “The GOP Senate then held a session in which they proposed new regulations that they happened to like. They weren’t job-killing, but they still helped to protect the children.”

    Not a quote from anywhere, but it may as well have been.

    You know, I’m afraid that I am about to lose my Connecticut Yankee credentials.

    I have no more “Grammas” to push off the cliff. I wish God had given me more than two of them, because it is kinda like a blood lust now.

    If you need help pushing YOUR gramma off the cliff, please contact me.

    And OT, but does anyone know where the picture of Debby Wasserman Schultz with the HUMONGOUS thighs is? I thought it might be at iOwnTheWorld or Americandigest, but can’t find it.

    It is HILARIOUS, but I can’t find it again!

    I Love this picture, but there is another photoshopped picture from one of those “deeply disturbing conservative blogs” that has her looking like each of her legs weighs four hundred pounds (which is not far from the truth).

    Thank God I don’t have a “t” in my last name. I’m from the good side of the family.

    OMG. I can never unsee that picture. It will haunt me forever.

    Indeed. Don’t think she’s fat though…just ,ummm, unfortunately built.

  10. sdferr says:

    heh, it’s hard to call her built in any sense. Coagulated maybe?

    Whatever it is, I’ve just pushed back my dinner plans by at least half an hour.

    Jeff,

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    That is one of the best pictures ever “created”, and makes me fall over laughing. Debbie and me have the same last name, except that I don’t have a “t” in mine. THANK GOD!

    Thanks again, and when my parasite flies off into the wild blue yonder, I will have enough stuff to help you.

    I LOVE this place, even when I get rowdy (and, in the morning go: “Oh, shit!”) and feel a little small.

    Thanks. I am being raped by the court right now, or I would send you a ton of money.

    I don’t think it will be long until my ex-wife’s drunken pratfalls send her to her maker. She broke her back drunkenly falling off off the deck onto her face, and now, I think she is in big trouble, physically.

    I feel bad for my son (probably as you would), but I am not yet capable of snapping her neck with my thumb and forefinger.

    Just kidding. If I was capable of hurting ANYONE, she would have been dead years ago.

    Thanks again, Jeff.

    As they should be. My brain is also bleeding with the thought that this little fart-ette is the head of the DNC.

    OMG! I am SO old!

    I remember when everyone was civil, even when the church wanted to import Negroes (Dan Quayle, much?) into town. That was a long time ago (1960’s), as you can tell by the diction.

    Not racist, I could care less. But it was ALWAYS a civil conversation. ALWAYS…

    No more. Thank you “I want to see my pomegranite trees” Hairy Reid (motto: “Up your butt, stupids”) and “I got mine, fuck you” Nancy Pelosi.

    Speak softly and carry a whole six foot deep manure pit in your head. Just make sure somebody else has to empty it when it is over-filled.

    Poifect!

  23. The real picture is kind of hot. Look, if you reach your mid-forties and you don’t like pretty much all women, you’re gay.

    If you reach your mid-forties and you’re not an ass man, you’re gay.

    My first thought was-I’d hate to see her walking away.

    She does come equipped with the heavy-duty lower unit, no?

  27. Squid says:

    In my circles, she’d be “full-keeled and seakindly.”

    “sdferr posted on8/4 @ 4:17 pm

    She reminds me of a cute girl I saw in a bar in the early 70’s. I asked her to dance, and when she stood up her ass knocked over the four closest tables…

    OOOOOPS!!!!! Then I had to DANCE with her! Sometimes, especially back then, I could be a real dipshit. Haven’t changed much, I guess.

    Also, my sister went to Vassar, and one night I made it from Poughkeepsie to Wilton, CT in about 35 minutes. I also lost my license for going through Ridgefield, CT at 85 mph (which, at the time, I thought was reasonably slower than the rest of my ride).

    Ahhhh! For the good old days!
