OK, I know I’m late on this, but this is very nearly the funniest goddamn sentence I have ever read. Well played.

I’m not sure if that’s what you meant, ahem, but I’m posting it anyways.

Obama’s used his support of the state tax holiday to explain his opposition to the federal holiday. It didn’t work when Illinois did it.

The $30 is the estimate for the entire ‘summer driving season’ holiday, from Memorial to Labor Day. That’s assuming a $600 spend on gas for the entire season.

And yes, there’s a problem when people treat food as a discretionary budget item.

I know! Even keeping kosher! I think it is an artificial subsidy for meat.

The answer to these people (applies equally to Bush supporters and Hillary fans – and, in theory, to Obama fans as well) is to simply say that doing nothing will have preferable results to what they are proposing.

Sometimes this will get them to think for a minute. Sometimes not. But it’s the best response I’ve found so far.

Christ, this is depressing. Especially the expert-hatin’, which is just so…Republican.

If you want a serious policy proposal, in France a lot of jobs come with public transport season tickets as a perk; this happens for a good reason, which is that it’s tax-deductible for both sides (i.e. the salary you take as tickets doesn’t count towards income tax, and the employer can treat it as a cost of doing business rather than payroll).

a tax fiesta must somehow involve fish tacos and tequila
And sombreros thrown in the air.

T. does look fly in those hammertime pants, so I’d probably say, “Ooh la la!”

I quote Mr. L:

Who are they attacking personally? Moi? My heart’s going pit-a-pat, because they’re double our size and we can always use the hits.

It comes with the territory—within reason, that stops with Malkin-esque maneuvers and DOS attacks—and it’s part of calling bullshit.

I just don’t think the post is a good job of calling bullshit, that’s all. Wrong on the points made, general “Fuck the poor” attitude — add them to the list of people the OFB has thrown overboard — and writing that’s a lot less excellent than I expect from S/N (“Ramen-gate”? Where’s the scandal?) And the deterioration reminds me of, well, posting a doctored video of what turned out to be copyrighted material without either checking provenance or getting a transcript. And what would be the common factor there? (And if there’s an equivalent example on the Hillary side, leaving aside the raw partisans like Johnson or Marsh, I’d like to have one.)

The reason I can’t understand the above, is because I CAN understand the point about a particular 30 dollars meaning something to some people, but the 30 dollars we were talking about was a specific non-existent 30 dollars, and the getting of the non-existent 30 dollars relates to spending 600 something dollars minimum. So moving beyond the non-existent 30 dollars, what is the point?

OK, so then the reminding and the insult. The entire original post was an insult predicated on the notion that- I can’t even unpack it. We’ve been thrown in with the execrable Emuvosis at the end there. John Idiot Emu says something, gets denounced by everyone, everyone and now he’s the poster child.

Never mind.

OK, one more thought. Of course “OFB- Obama Fan Boys” and lo, are they annoying, but when your entire raison d’etre is propped up with a gigantic apparition based solely on your own projection, you just might start to come across as deranged.

This election is just showing us the people we’ve all been in bed with the entire time. I sure as hell hope the arguments that have been made prior to this gigantic reality check we’re all dealing with haven’t been this hollow, or this pathetic, because there is simply nothing different between the crazies on either side, save progressive policies. We can’t argue that we’re better or smarter that is for sure. LESS EVIL, EQUALLY DERANGED, OBLIVIOUS, GIGANTIC PERSONAL BLINDSPOTS DIME A DOZEN.

Donezoes. DONE.

I say we just let tigrismus take on the entirety of Corrente. If this post was considered an “attack” what happens when t. loads up the Rolo gun and the hammer-time pants?

Trouble.
