Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!

This is just my little way of saying: It's time to dust off the "crazy" ideas. Time to raise taxes where we can. Time to start a new CCC. Time to get shit done.

1. Yes, raise taxes. We're in debt and we're not able to pay off our debts. It's not rocket surgery.

2. Lock the Tea Party Caucus in a room somewhere...
... and negotiate a new deal on the debt limit. Don't let the clowns out till the voting is over.

4. The line about Pearl Harbor iirc is a quote from the historians at freeperville.

the teabuggers.

11. It was for the German Navigators, they were supposed to be bombing Great Britain, Hitler
had their asses shot when they got back to Berlin.

Thanks for the thread, LuckyTheDog.
