I guess this fits in this thread: Chick-Fil-A's Facebook page has been something else the last couple days

I hadn't eaten there in a while and while I've known they're sinister Fucktards in the past, I really can't stomach going back again
Is Bojangles' ethical? God please

Bachmann is doubling down on the Islamist conspiracy crap, accusing the Minneapolis representative of having ties to Muslim Brotherhood. I just can't believe this shit.

Bachmann ties Ellison to Muslim Brotherhood

I met Keith Ellison once, he's great.

Also I feel like she is finally going completely off the deep end, yet still no one can do anything. Maybe she will finally lose in November because this is just too much for her constituents.

[Ted Pikul]

I really hope she gets crazier and crazier and it becomes a test of Boehner and Cantor that they have to reign her in

I can't handle eating at Chick-Fil-A mostly because of the sub-Jars of Clay Christian rock they play as background moozak.

Republicans and Democrats got snippy on the House floor Wednesday over a typo in a GOP deregulation bill, which Democrats have so far refused to let Republicans fix quickly on the floor by unanimous consent.

The bill, H.R. 4078, is meant to prohibit major federal regulations until the unemployment rate falls to 6 percent, but instead says no new regulations can be issued until the employment rate falls to 6 percent.

Earlier in the day, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said he would not grant unanimous consent to add "un" to the word "employment" and thus fix the bill on the floor. And Wednesday afternoon, Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) indicated that Democrats were not willing yet to allow the quick fix.

House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) asked Connolly if he would object to a unanimous consent request to make the correction. Issa cast the error as a mistake made by professional staff.

But in reply, Connolly said, "This member will reserve the right to object at the appropriate time."

"Nothing could be more insincere than to pick on professional staff on a typographical error," Issa shot back. "If we have to … go to the Rules Committee, I guess we will, but I'm really sorry to see that kind of an attitude on what the gentleman and all of us know was simply a typographical error."

Connolly then took umbrage with Issa's remark, and asked the presiding officer, "Did this member hear … the distinguished chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee characterize a member as insincere?"

The chair offered no help, but rather than stop the proceedings and ask for Issa's words to be assessed, he asked the chair to "caution all members about personal characterizations of members on the floor of the House."

"I meant nothing other than, I was shocked that the gentleman would say that he would reserve time on what was clearly a typographical error," Issa said after the kerfuffle.

The House continued to debate the bill on schedule, although Connolly's response indicates that the House Rules Committee will somehow have to address the problem before final passage of the bill, which is expected tomorrow.

Republicans have described the Democratic reaction to the typo as "petty," and have noted that when Republicans were in the minority, they allowed Democrats to make changes to bills on the floor by unanimous consent.

ROSE: Do you think Congresswoman Bachmann was out of line? I mean, it does not square with this?

CANTOR: Well, again, I think that if you read some of the reports that have covered the story, I think that her concern was about the security of the country. So that’s about all I know

Top tea partier demands Obama prove he doesn’t smoke crack and have gay sex

Otherwise, Phillips explained, Americans will never really know if Obama used cocaine and had gay sex with Larry Sinclair, a lifelong con-man who’s made wild allegations against the president and even published a book about the lewd tale.

"I know in your mind, you can think of the times America was attacked," Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa) said at a press conference on Capitol Hill. "One is Dec. 7, that's Pearl Harbor Day. The other is Sept. 11, and that's the day the terrorists attacked. I want you to remember Aug. 1, 2012, the attack on our religious freedom. That is a day that will live in infamy, along with those other dates."

what happened Aug. 1, 2012?

Wednesday marked the first day private insurers must include birth control coverage without charging a co-pay in their plans, per requirements in the Affordable Care Act.

just wanted to share this


The Tea Party
When I left office, unemployment was 4.7%, gas cost $2.26 a gallon and 17 million Americans were on food stamps. Almost 4 years later under Obama, unemployment is at a record 8.3%, gas costs $4.00 a gallon and 43 million Americans are on food stamps. Click "LIKE" and "SHARE" if you miss me yet?

how much of this is actually true

[universe]

Unemployment was 7.3% in December 2008, Bush's last full month in office. (http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000)

Gas prices were low, but that has nothing to do with the president either way.

There are more people on food stamps because the Obama administration has made it easier to qualify; In 2008, there were about 30 million people on food stamps (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/0 ... 17038.html). During Bush's presidency, the number of people on food stamps grew by 14.7 million (http://www.factcheck.org/2012/01/newts- ... amp-claim/); During Obama's presidency, the number has grown by about the same number.

[Grover]

America is going in the wrong direction.
