I find it sort of funny how you're debating 'god's judgement' on page 666.
I was going to make a similar comment that IT IS TIME....UNLEASH THE PIT OF ABADDON! AND THEIR K-STREET LOBBYISTS!
So, anybody paying attention to the rhetoric with the "fiscal cliff" negotiations? Basically, the Republicans are back to "We're not going to do shit, and we're going to say it's all your fault."
Because, y'know....winning strategy for them last month, right?
Mitch McConnell even went so far as to say "So we’ll continue to wait on the President, and hope that he has what it takes to bring people together to forge a compromise. If he does, we’ll get there. If he doesn’t, we won’t. It’s that simple.”
I.e. "We're going to be dicks. If the President has what it takes to make us stop being dicks, we'll compromise. Otherwise, fuck him and the horse he rode in on, and it's his fault for not calling in the Secret Service to hold a gun to our fucking heads."
Seriously...if I was Obama, I'd position snipers in the Capitol gallery and say, "Okay...nobody gets out until you guys work out a compromise that balances tax increases and spending cuts. You try to leave, Corporal Thompson up there is going to put one between your hearing aids. And if you even
think of calling that douchebag Norquist, your state will be holding a special election to find your replacement. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR, BITCHES??"
...it's probably a good thing I'm not President.
