Some things are just so silly they make you chuckle aloud when you read them

So Ron Wyden and Judd Gregg are working in a bipartisan fashion to reform the tax code.

They intend to close some loopholes that lobbyists had inserted. They claim broad bipartisan support for their efforts.

That makes me chuckle. Not about Wyden or Gregg, specifically, but about the whole fucking sham of this sort of shit we hear from everyone.

If I understand, lobbyists got the loopholes put in. Okay. I get that. But didn't these loopholes have to be voted on? By Congress?

So now Congress is gunna fix it.

How stupid am I? I'm not getting it.

The fox is going to fix the hole in the fence to the chicken coop?

Is that it?

1. Prepare to be mocked if you show insufficient naivet� ..

It's happened to me today already and I've slowed my posting down a lot lately.

2. I know exactly what you're saying.

Not a lot of discussion. Lots of agreeing. Even more using the rec/unrec in lieu of discourse.

3. Yep...

I read your stuff Stinky. I don't always comment because I don't feel I need to reiterate what already has been said...

I do rec when I think something is worthwhile.

I also like to rec out of the box discussions.

4. You are "getting it"

From both ends at once...

I really get tired of these morons in office who think because they nabbed a few votes they are smarter than me. Talk down to your Republican colleagues if you want, but don't ever think I'm so fucking stupid that I can't see right through you. McConnell today was the worst offender. Spends a few days with his Wall Street pals and then tries to convince me that the Regulation bill is a permanent bailout for Banks. What an ass.

8. I was .... until Angelos owned the team into the ground.

I guess I'm still partial to dem birds, hon, but Angelos has sort of ruined the team. New ownership would thrill me.

Why do you ask ...... ?
