Quoting: Anonymous Coward 46821775 I will never forgive my 12th grade English teacher for making me read "Ivanhoe." It was the stupidest and most irresponsibly loquacious book I've ever had the displeasure of wiping my ass with. A whole chapter was devoted to describing a table. A FUCKING table. Goofball peers of mine read the Cliff notes and got a better grade than I did. I will never forgive those fuckers. Now now. What could be more loquacious than a William Faulkner novel? <-- Me - my sophomore year at University Ok. Maybe it isn't that he's wordy, he's just fucking dull. However, having Legolas burst into song every few steps about made me want to find Tolkien's ghost and chase him around with a frying pan!

Let one filibuster a bill and talk about how the government has been taken over by a secret government that stages events. Let him talk for fourteen hours about Sandy Hook, the Boston Bombing, 911, Kennedy assassination, Wellstone murder etc. Until then they can go eff themselves. |

Successor Congresses cannot be bound by idioacracy of prior Demonrat majorities. Obamacare goes down in flames today! Pray strength, stamina and resolve to this man that he can continue (subject of another thread last night). On a side note, Cruz makes the President look like a pipsqueak (as any accomplished individual does) ... Obama has had life handed to him by his lurking Saudi money-men backers.
