I think getting rid of saying "on the table" should be on the table.

It's a finite table, it can only hold so much. Think about how much time it would waste if the table broke and everything fell off. Then nothing would be on the table.

1. Agreed. The Republicans stole the table. There is no table,
How can there be anything on it.

No more taking off or putting on. No more table.

3. If we wanted a table, we should have thought about that before being poor.

Maybe we could rent a table for $20 a month for 18 months.

4. Wait, maybe we can borrow Ryan's table. I heard there's a bottle of wine there.

6. I think the table itself should be on the table - recursively
If that doesn't work, then we can take the table off the table.

12. If the table is in the set of all things on the table, wouldn't that
be an ill-defined set?

16. How much is this damned table costing us every year anyway?
Maybe eliminating it could lower the deficit significantly!

22. or at least close some loopholes to make the table more efficient?
Edited on Sat Jul-09-11 12:38 AM by 0rganism
Perhaps we need a special Table Tax so the table can be self-funding? I propose the Special Allocation for Legislative Tabling act, which we can mix with a payroll tax, like the Professional Employers' Planar Payroll Eligibility Restructuring fund. That way, we can put SALT and PEPPER on the table.

24. No more things are going on that table, for certain.
Unfortunately, they will likely buy a new table with lasers and other classified stuff for $500,000 and hide it in the black budget.

Then they'll put Social Security on it.

25. In a nutshell, that's truth to power!
Let's touch base so I can give you a heads up about what's off the table.

29. So I guess taking saying "on the table" off the table is off the table
But the table is still on the turtle, and taking the turtle off the table is effectively off the table.

Unless I missed something. :crazy:

PS: Boehner is still off his rocker, and Ryan is off the reservation.
