Rocko–We “find” that $1.2 trillion by taxing the everloving hell out of everyone who works. We “find” it by penalizing small-business owners who have worked hard and sacrificed and done well. We “find” it by regulating the daylights out of every possible aspect of private life, and creating a bureaucracy to monitor and harass citizens, as minutely as possible, on their own dime.

That wasn’t how it was packaged, but that’s how it will have to be, unless they Janet-Reno a bunch of ATF guys into every little kid’s room to gank their piggybanks. (Which, BTW, I wouldn’t rule out.) The Chitown Messiah may have run on a platform of mauve unicorns that farted rose petals, but that kind of happy-ass fantasy isn’t going to feed the bulldog. So here we are.

I never understood the big deal. Are we not allowed to have opinions and voice them in this country anymore? Rush wants the President to fail? Who flippin’ cares? Can we focus on the $1.2 trillion in spending done in the last month? Does anyone know how exactly a country fighting two wars in the middle (or tail-end) of a recession with a large amount of debt and societal entitlements finds $1.2 trillion?

“… wish death or worse on a sitting president” Anyone here ever read a comment thread on Huffington Post?

Rush and the Cajun Kojak aren’t the first people to ever wish failure, death, or worse on a sitting president.

It’s just the first time since Pontius Pilate that failure was wished upon a sitting messiah.

*weep* Deceiver Madness is fun, but it’s making me miss posts! Which means everyone steals all the good comments before I show up Ah, well. At least I read it!

Anni–if you were talking to me, I was not being sarcastic, honestly. I appreciated the wisdom in your post.

It takes a strong woman to put up with this one. My second greatest scene in “Old School?” When he had nothing to say after Will Ferrell was done talking. The First? When Piven was killed by a falling car.

“I guess that’s just the way it goes.”

You know, if you’re irritating everybody you’re doing exactly the right thing.

I really, really can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, which I suppose makes me a ditz.

To whom are you referring?
