The Liquor Talking

So tell me how this works? The director of the AFT is “reassigned” over the fallout from the idiotic “fast and furious” program. How do I get a job where I can allow such a royal screw up on my watch and the worst that can happen is that I get sent to another high-dollar, government job?

The Nine Fingered? Bet there’s a story there.

You can’t really fire a guy/gal for doing what you want them to.

Yeah, I’ll put on le vieux fleuret chapeau once more. This whole fast and furious thing had one and only one purpose and it damn sure wasn’t to track illegal weapons into the hands of narco-terrrorists.

No. This was solely intended to escalate the violence of the Mexican druggies to the point where the American people demand the government do something about it.

Hello, gun control. The logic is straight out of the alternate universe. Really? Deliberately make it easier for druggies to get their hands on guns, so the violence escalates, so we can crack down on how easy it is for US citizens to get guns.

How many guns were tracked to drug cartel thugs? Just the ones that were found at the scene of a U.S. Border Patrol agent’s murder last year.

You gonna tell me that His Obamaness wasn’t in on this? At least aware of it? I mean come on. Who in their right mind is gonna cook up a hair-brain scheme like this AND IMPLEMENT IT without a get out of jail free card?

Were it not for the purpose of disarming our citizenry, I’d be all for this. Hell’s bells, I’d be in favor of shipping guns and ammo by the truckload to each of the cartels. I’m not shedding any tears over druggies killing each other. I have but one caveat; shoot at an American citizen and your cartel gets a visit from Navy Seals.

So how’s the weight thing going?

Mitch

Down 50 pounds since April. Thanks for asking. Got about a hundred more to go. Six more and I’ll be under 300 and get to celebrate with a peach cobbler!

Well, a serving of peach cobbler anyhow. Somehow I doubt I’ll get the whole thing to myself.

Obama doesn’t have a plan. Nothing that will have a positive effect on jobs anyway. I predict he’ll come up with a bunch of nonsense, so offensive to the republicans that they’ll object automatically. |

His whole reelection campaign will then become him running against Congress.

Just like he ran against Bush last time.

Chuck

You may be right.

And Congress is just dumb enough to take the bait. Hopefully the republican anointed one nominee will be smart enough to not let him get away with it.

It’s the republicans who are keeping black unemployment high. They’re trying to get the black people mad at President Obama so they can say “Hey, vote for us for jobs!”

Chester

Given the level of douchery in the Congress right now, I’m having a hard time arguing against that. It seems the last thing they want is for some kind, any kind of something positive for Obama to take credit for. We got a bunch of people there now who think their purpose is to make Obama a 1 term president. To hell with getting us out of this mess.

On the other hand:

Three Hands Salutes for the suggestion.

Okay, Friday’s survey made me grin. Even though I don’t, I probably would have said “Me too.”

I still don’t see the point.
