A song for the Tea Partiers who shut the government down. Talk about whatever.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.
John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania. Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.
Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?
… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact
Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.
Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?
Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.
I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.
A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires
“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”
An almost top 10,000 blog!
Good lord, these people are nuts.
The revolution will be supervised.
This fight is for everything.
A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.
The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.
The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.
Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.
Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.
When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?
if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.
I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Now the howler monkeys at Noisemax are harping on the “disaster”of Obamacare like it’s ORCA or something.
Rollouts of huge software projects, even with tons of testing, have glictches. The fact of the matter is, once the glitches are addressed, ACA is going to destroy the Rethuglican party, assuming there’s anything left after it’s sabotaged by the teatards.
They are afraid. Very afraid.

may their raging butthurt allow them the warm comfort of their ideological bubbles throughout the coming winter. Let it harden their souls and resolve as they cobble together a 3rd party that will, once and for all, show that true Americans stand with them and their ideals for a government for Jeebus, buy Jeebus and mandated by Jeebus, as opposed to a tyrannical empire ruled by those people and their “ideas”.

On to immigration reform!
H1-B Visa: Non-immigrant worker with specialized skills.
H1-B2 Visa: DOD research and development visa (requires special government-to-government agreement)
H1-B3 Visa: Fashion model of distinguished merit and ability.
We have a specific visa category for supermodels. Not making this up.

Amid all of the schadenfreude, I thought I would point this out again (from late in a previous thread): We just finally, after so many years of patience, have observed that much-heralded and often discussed event variously known as Peak Wingnut, the Wingularity, and the Wingnut Event Horizon. It has come and gone like a high tide of stupid, stink, and sludge. It cannot help but recede at this point, broken into its component pieces after taking a huge dump on the lawn of every impure Republican, evil Democrat, and uninterested bystander. Which, basically, is almost everyone in the whole world.
So long, and thanks for all of the good memories!
There will be plenty of flare-ups, much like a receding hemorrhoid on the body politic, but the thing has done its best and fallen well short.

Thanks for the Tom Rush.

I love Tom Rush’s voice. Personal favorite: “Wind on the Water” (which I can never find on YouTube, damn it).

I’ll probably get ripped to shreds but as an 80’s new wave kid, I much prefer this version of that song.

@The Red Pen:
Anthony Weiner’s legislative legacy. Models were in the standard H1-B class, modelling agencies were competing with the H1-B visa scalpers, and the separate class got allocated a grand total of 1000 slots. Designed at the behest of agencies in NYC and LA, but the alternative is, I suppose, a selective breeding programme in the US to end up with women who are six-foot-two and have the profile of a broomhandle. [sigh]

@wenchacha: Seconding. Had never heard of him!

Thanks Mullah DJ – you and Mr Tom Rush have just brought back to me my first, total, heartbreak in 1976 (but I forgive you), and an appropriate musical choice for this ridiculous week …

Adore that song. Thank you.
