I'm rather flummoxed as to how Obama went from pimping Stimulus 2 to a spending freeze in approximately two days. The last time I saw a reversal that drastic the top three inches of Jayne Mansfield's skull lay on Highway 90 outside Biloxi, Mississippi. I don't believe him, of course. He's merely reacting to the auto de fé he sees manifesting itself on the far hill he fears is his Golgotha.
No, rampaging spending will continue apace. There is nothing new under the sun. The announcement of the spending freeze did signify two things, however:
1. There is no money for you middling class tea partiers and whiners. Go fuck yourselves, and, no, I will not use the magic word.
2. All of you deep-pocketed enablers should consider yourselves paid in full. Thanks for the donations and contributions, but the vigorish has now been delivered, the graft is complete. Don't bother knocking on my door any more, because I already threw a trillion dollars your way. If you didn't get a mouthful you must be the runt of the litter. Piss off. I'm bigger than you.
Do we really have thirty six more months of this complete and total fuck-up ahead of us? I am dismayed at the thought. I feel like that fellow in Quest For Fire who hung suspended from a tree, one limb already lopped off and roasting on the fire, waiting for the cannibals to finish him off.
The good news is: the GOP has a plan. The bad news is: the GOP has a plan. I'm sure the plan is to marginalize any true fiscal conservatives as "unwinnable," while they craft a superior platform based on a kinder, gentler sigmoidoscopy of the public fisc. The Anthill of Davids (Brooks et Frum) will undoubtedly break off their fellatiatory daisy chain to murmur their huzzahs. John McCain might even run again, but without that damned chillbilly, who really should be busy breeding chinchillas, fecund, strumpet daughters, and the occasional idiot manchild.
A spending freeze. Indeed. Probably should start with that F-22 Raptor, eh? And mebbe sumdat missile defense. CIA? Whoo. You bastard offspring of Angleton are truly screwed. You made me look bad. The Bush middle-class tax cuts expire when? This year? Hello, Betty.
Yep. Sucks to be a loser. Losers.
.... damn, man.... you mentioned Mansfield's skull AND that scene from "Quest for Fire" in the same post?...... bloody hell......
Posted by: Eric at January 26, 2010 9:31 PMAh yes, I wallowed in that post like a pig in shit. Thanks for killing my ebullience from last week with the reminder that the Republicans always manage to fuck up a sure thing.
Just watched Quest for Fire just last weekend, and it pissed me off all over again that we didn't get a full-frontal of Rae Dawn Chong without all that grey mud.
The Democrats will soon try save themselves. All the buried truths about Obama will surface like a backed up toilet, courtesy of his friends. He won't last his term wearing the King's Clothes.
But you're right. Republicans will make democracy safe once again for Democrats.
Posted by: james wilson at January 27, 2010 1:06 AMThanks for the reminder about Quest For Fire. I've got the DVD squirreled away somewhere and need to dig it out and watch it again. Hard to believe it came out 30 years ago.
Posted by: Pat at January 27, 2010 10:02 AMI remember a great line from a review about Quest for Fire..."Man searches for fire and discovers the missionary position." Thanks for the mrmories, V Man!

Posted by: Cappy at January 27, 2010 9:28 PMI read yesterday that he was cutting NASA's budget and retasking them with studying weather changes...
Ain't that like telling your chef to shut up, get your ass in the kitchen bitch, and cook me a pot pie?
Last time I saw the word 'flummoxed', it was being used by Alfalfa in his frustration over not being able to climb into Darla's skivvies. Or maybe it was Buckwheat or Froggie, talkin' shit about Alfalfa.
Don't you just love those "spending freezes"? Today, 1-28-10 , the Whitehouse handed out $ 8 Billion for high speed rail. Hell these people have a hard time getting slow speed rail to work.
Posted by: Roger at January 28, 2010 7:40 PMNever heard of Quest For Fire. What section would I find it in? Horror or Action?
Posted by: PeggyU at January 29, 2010 4:04 PMExcellent Roger!
