{{{R}}} for riting and {{{L}}} for making me laugh out loud.
We are going to pass the Public Drinking, Rent Girl and Rent Boy Come to Florida Job Creation Act.

However, we should cut them some slack, as they aren't the brightest stars on the flag. It shouldn't surprise us when they get their terms mixed up. After all, "Job Creation" sounds a lot like "Job Cremation."
You are the voice of reason quite plain and simple. Can we not build a Mayflower liner or better still hire the Mayflower transport company to haul all these people out and start over?
Surely there is enough people to handle this?
Rated with hugs and thank you for your kind words.
HR1: The Viagra is 75% for All Republican Congressmen THIS IS A PRIORITY Jobs Creation Act.

They ARE creating jobs. It is the job of each and every one of them to hold the jobs football firmly on the ground, then pull it away quickly as soon as any Democratic foot begins to make contact with it.
This was hilarious...and..ouch!!!
Remember when Darth Cheney said, "deficits don't matter?"
Why do they suddenly matter now? Short answer: when Rethuglicans were in place to get what THEY wanted.
If one good thing came out of last Nov, it's that Rethuglicans got over-confident and over-reached themselves, far too soon.
And I hope to God that that election is the last time any working stiff votes Rethug.

I would only change your HR 43 to "Walker" b/c one of Reagan's quotes was, "Where free unions are forbidden, freedom is lost." downright free thinking for this day and age...
Then there's the "Let's mop up John Boehner's Tears On TV Jobs Creation Act."

Hey, wait, didn't they try this once before? :D
But don't worry aboiut that -- killing the project produced additional jobs for bartenders serving the unemployed people who don't have jobs constructing renewable energy systems.
