    And then, Obama has a presser today and not one question about the Obamacare clusterfark... and it's Republicans' fault the media didn't ask. This world is warped, everything's bass ackwards.

    That was close, the Postal Service has saved our children from dangerous stamps.

    Quote:

    Run! Jump! Leap! It all seems pretty innocent, but the U.S. Postal Service is faced with a decision to destroy its series of "Just Move" stamps because of safety concerns, according to Linns Stamp News, and we're not talking about a paper cut on your tongue.

    The colorful cartoon stamps, based on Michelle Obama's Let's Move initiative, were intended to encourage an active lifestyle and raise awareness about physical activity. But the images on some of the stamps are not kosher with the President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, according to the stamps designer, Eli Noyes, who told Linns, "Apparently the President’s Council [on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition] and the Let’s Move people saw them and had issues with them."

    The stamps in question: a skateboarder sans kneepads, a swimmer doing a cannonball, and a kid doing a headstand without a helmet, and because of these issues, it's likely you won't ever get to send your mail with these particular adhesives.

    A spokesman at the USPS told Yahoo the stamps are sitting at a printer in upstate New York, awaiting a decision on their fate.

    Whew, thank goodness we won't be giving kids any ideas about being kids. I would have had more of an issue with a kid at bat without a batting helmet than doing a cannonball though.

    It's come to this, so many people are inserting body parts into appliances and machinery of some sort and need assistance that London firefighters have started an ad campaign to discourage this practice.

    It comes to this...

    Need proof that Bonehead is lying about having the votes to pass a clean CR? He changed the rules of order to stop the democrats from bringing it to the floor of the house.

    Quote:

    The simplest way for the Republican Party to broaden its appeal might be the same as the way out of the shutdown. Let the Tea Party Caucus be the Tea Party Caucus. That's what its members were democratically elected to do. But don't allow them to run the place simply because they wave the Hastert Rule. The party itself is already less homogenous than it was not long ago. Such party discipline clearly isn't possible; it might not even be necessary. If Republicans let their party structure in Congress become weaker, they may find it not only easier to get things done, but easier to get a lot more Republicans elected.
    America blames repubs more than the prez for this shutdown 53-31. So far.

    Yes, perhaps more quality and less quantity.

    I don't think quantity is an issue, there seems to be an endless supply.

    It comes to this,

    Truckers Ride For The Constitution: Extremist Anti-Obama Protesters Hijack Truck Drivers As Political Pawns

    Quote:

    So far it all sounds like good old-fashioned civil disobedience, except that the trucker protest itself has little to do with the trucking industry and even less to do with healthy dissent. Beneath all the talk of hard-working truck drivers fed up with government overreach lies a fringe movement of blind civil unrest, one fueled by a small group of angry white people who will simply never accept Barack Obama as president.
    Traffic Shutdown? Truck drivers plan 3-day protest on Capital Beltway | Fox News

    Quote:

    Asked to clarify the purpose of the event, spokesman Peter Santilli told FoxNews.com on Tuesday: "One of our demands is NON-NEGOTIABLE: President Obama must be removed from office for crimes against the United States and all unconstitutional executive orders nullified. How that is accomplished legally is for the legal and constitutional experts to determine."
    Copy that good budy.

    If you didn't notice, the last one was about Brits who are idiots. But of course I'm not surprised you don't get the point of the thread and like tom said, if it interests you fine, if not why are you here?

    What, truckers don't have a right to express themselves? After all , you don't get much stuff without truckers so I think I'd respect their opinions a little more.

    What's more outrageous though is that thanks to the emperor's intentional games here is that this was necessary.

    Oh come on! You keep thinking the actions of a few loony's means everybody is buying the TParty line. They ain't and most truckers will be doing their job and have been disavowing the fringe already.

    Your message of destruction and disruption will fail because nobody but YOU guys believe your BS.
