Rules.
I see that a Congressman with a sense of humor has written the “Rangel Rule Act of 2009, HR 735,†which, when written on one’s tax return would exempt one from paying interest and penalties on taxes unpaid in the past. Doug Ross suggests that there ought to also be a “Dodd Rule,” which would permit one refinancing a loan to obtain a new loan fifty basis points lower than the market rate.
I would like to suggest the “Pelosi Rule,†which you can invoke after you’ve been asked a question by a reporter and your answer is, at best, gibberish, or, at worst, pure horseshit. The benefit of this rule is that its prompt invocation will cause the Mainstream Media Lemon to refrain from asking you “WTF?â€
I figure I must be on Candid Camera or some shit. It’s all a gag, right? This cannot be happening to the country. Can it?
Ooh! Ooh! I know! I know!
We’re all having a mass-induced hallucination, caused by some kind of previously-undiscovered Cosmic Ray of some kind.
‘Cause if I thought this shit was real, I’d be very, very afraid…

Nah,, it’s all the fluoride they’ve been putting in the drinking water over the last 50 (fitty) years. 😉 It’s a government conspiracy I tells ya!! (running down the hallway, screaming)

Hey, our Liberal socialist fellow countrymen voted this bag of hot air in with the help of the welfare class, the media & the hobos on park bench`s everywhere.
With a balanced electorate like this we should not complain, for at least the next 4 year`s we will not have to buy comic books or go to the movies for entertainment.
All it is going to cost is every ones retirement funds, the respect & dignity of the country, probably the governments of several loyal allies & several hundred thousand innocent people world wide.
Go buy a case of popcorn , lay in a supply of your favorite beverage & watch the events unfold.

I reckon the Soviet leadership was thinking the same thing a few years back. And they folded for the same reason we are gonna fold if we can stop the massive spending by government…no money for the bread and circus and people, congress is a fucking circus right now…clowns and freak shows

There is room for the Obama rule: “I won” will end every conversation and answer every question.
Bunch of first-rate losers.
