    Invade Jersey?! How the hell are supposed to pay for that?

    The Kids At Fark have been having a fine time with the GOP Budget Outline of a Venn Diagram. Or something. You need some time to scroll through these.

    And put down all liquids.

    It’s been renamed “cut taxes on rich.”

    The Republicans have been so precious lately. If they weren’t actually elected officials I might find their comedy highly entertaining.

    C’mon, you can’t criticize a political party for giving its constituents what they want: A budget without numbers for the kind of people who always whined in high school, “But you said there wouldn’t be any math!”

    That’s right Geezer, they know their audience.

    Ezra Klein had a funny post about the GOP “budget plan.”

    This line cracked me up:

    They are also in favor of good things rather than bad things, moving forward rather than going backwards, the hobbits rather than the orcs, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.

    Once they find out we have no sales tax, they will greet us as liberators.

    On the map painted on the blacktop at St Joseph’s Church and Regional Academy, which uses rather thick white lines as borders, I noticed that they left off Delaware. Having previously lived in the First State, naturally I noticed.

    But if our church says y’all don’t exist, then maybe you really don’t exist! 🙂
