Drop kick me Jeesus
Through the goalposts of life,
End over end,
Neither left nor to right.
Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights,
Yes, drop kick me Jeeeeesus, through the goalposts of life.
ETA. Gotta have the original. Here’s Bobby Bare, all three verses.
That article is 21 yrs old now. From back in The Onion’s heyday.
Unfortunately for all of us, this is how much of the media is painting the picture.
Until there are charges, indictments, etc., on this topic, this picture will remain in the public eye.
Those of us that understand the difference can talk until we’re blue in the face about the difference, but it will never register and/or be accepted by the vast majority of voters.
Yes, that’s the sort of thing that happens when you start off by exempting huge chunks of the budget and assume it’s all on the spending end.
Let’s try taxing the fuck out of billionaires and telling defense contractors that government contracts require a significant effort be made to consolidate supply chains and production chains to eliminate in-process shipping costs.
No more of this 'Boeing is building the final aircraft in Tacoma, Washington, so literally all of the parts are being built in as many counties in as many states as we can possibly manage.
Build the bits where you’re going to use those bits, and you’ll save on transportation and logistics, so we save. You’ll also lose an assload of lobbying power, but fuck you, that’s what you get when 3 companies (Boeing, Lockheed, Northrup) gobble up literally every other defense-level manufacturer in the country to kill competition.
Defense lawyer: When did your current devotion to God start?
Proud Boy cooperating witness: When I was sitting in a van with the FBI on my way to jail.
There are no atheists in foxholes (or FBI paddy-wagons)
I do not disagree with Biden’s efforts in Red states.
And asking a group of people who want to destroy the government to effect a basic government responsibility is kind of a fool’s errand, isn’t it? Isn’t financial ruin and anarchy the ultimate goal for the GQP?
Indeed, except it’s a different picture.

And when she runs again in two years, she’ll attempt to take the credit for the jobs and the income. Never mind that she voted against it. The credit is hers.
Appropriate dress for Smoky Eyes after she follows Daddy’s precedent of letting folks like Maurice Clemmons and Wayne DuMond out of jail so they can kill again.
I agree, but I doubt the above will happen, because America loves arguing about infrastructure.
This…with all the while NYT going apeshit…
One would think, then, that these media outlets who refuse to see the difference would be losing out. I don’t know if that’s happening… yet. I don’t know that these outlets are being called out for the inaccurate picture.
But the articles and the interviews are still out there, as though trying to convince us that what we’re seeing is illusory.
The current administration will be waiting.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) said that while she loves the idea of a consumption tax, she was concerned that the fair tax and other legislation that conservatives have pressed McCarthy to bring to the floor will show up in Democratic campaign ads next year.
Too late, they are showing up in Democratic messaging now.
Democrats think they’ve hit the jackpot.
“It will impose a tax hike that is dramatic on 90 percent of the American people, working families, middle-class folks, seniors, and those who aspire to be part of the middle class, the poor, the sick and the afflicted,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Wednesday at a news conference with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.).
Schumer has hit Republicans on the fair tax every day this week. President Biden said Tuesday that he’s thrilled to talk about it, and he’s expected to bring it up again in a speech in Virginia today.
Forged his name?! That sounds, um, illegal.
I’ve been to all of one church wedding in which one of the readings was a few verses from Song of Solomon. Carefully-selected verses, mind you, but there they were. Some of us sat up straight in the pews.
Who knew Mother was a closet Dem?
First she orders pence to Complete the Steal.
Then, just when things were looking pretty bad for Biden, manages to “find” classified stuff in hubby’s office.
Perhaps the NYT’s and WAPO’s influence is much smaller and demographically more restricted than they’d like to think.
