    1. Holy Crap!

      It's abundantly clear that Coalition for Fiscal and National Security is made up of a bunch of dinosaurs incomprehensibly watching the bright light in the night sky as the comet draws near. With this crew calling the shots, it's no small wonder the country is going in circles with the left turn signal on. The Depends bill alone must be stagering!

      Looks as if Obamacare's "end of life counseling" might not be such a bad idea after all - especially if it can deflate these tired, old, bags of flatulence and send them to a long term care facility where they belong...
