  • "We're not talking about 100 million here or 100 million there." That's good, because we need to stop saying that 100 million here or 100 million there is alright. If I were to scam the government out of 100 million, would the government say "well 100 million here or 100 million there," I don't think so. So why the hell should anyone in Congress EVER say "100 million here or 100 million there?" I think they should be saying "A nickle here or a nickle there." Actually if they said "a hundred here or a hundred there" all of our debt problems would probably be solved in short order.

    I don't mean to criticize this guys over all message, but never say "100 million here or 100 million there." It ticks me off, to be polite. There are 500 and some members of Congress, 400 some in the House, and who knows how many Congressional staff there are. If you've over legislated, can't keep track of dollars, or hundreds of dollars, but need to go to a 100 million here or 100 million there, do your country a favor and don't run for reelection, because you are utterly useless.

    • Yeah, right here. Give us all your information, including credit card, (with the number on the back), expiration date, your home address, driver's license number, (or just post a photo of it), and social security number. The phone will be available at your local WalMart the very next day for a service fee of only $30.(Payable only in cash. For some odd reason, your credit card will claim to be tapped out.) Tell them Lester sent you.

  • FTA: Democratic Senator Mark Pryor issued this statement: ..."but we also need to ensure that those in need have access to affordable phone service in case of emergencies."

    To the best of my knowledge, even a phone with an unpaid bill and no SIM card will dial 911.

  • Obviously the Dork Dingleberry dosen't pay taxes, along with being a Child Molester.

    • Hey shit stain, until you start working and paying taxes, you have nothing to say.
      In fact, until you stop thinking about screwing babies you should STFU!

  • I just put this up because I want to be the first post in what will probably be another 5,000 posts.
