The Do-Nothing Congress.
The 110th Congress has been in session for almost -21 days, and yet NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE! Who are these people? Surely during the last negative 21 days, SOMETHING should have come out of these lazy good-for-nothing bloodsuckers-on-the-public-payroll! When will we ever learn? We've been had! Call your Congressperson today, and tell them — 'Negative 21 days is enough time to build the Holland Tunnel, for pete's sake! Why haven't you DONE anything?'

They'll get the message.

I've done plenty in the past negative 21 days. And it's been fun.

What happened to all the 'first-one-hundred-hour' promises? Oh, it's a 'positive number'. I see. Great excuse! Losers!

3. Maybe you should use the "sarcasm" mode?
Everything is taken literally here... sometimes.

8. That's OK. There's no "D" in "impeachment."
What's not OK is that there's no "D" FOR impeachment. :eyes:

14. Take it easy on them
After all, according to our Fearless Leader, negative 72 hours isn't fast enough to get a FISA warrant.

16. From Max Wyvern -- further evidence of malfeasance while not yet in office.
"The minus first one hundred days obviously begin 100 days before the election. This is the period in which the not anything yet congress must perform admirable acts of waiting and visioneering. There is no solid evidence yet that this congress has solved the problems of peak oil and global warming, let alone world conflict- in a theoretical sense, at least.

I suggest submitting articles of impeachment for the negative Democratic majority immediately. Let justice be served."
