I swear she said "Seacrestation" at least a couple times.

Oh, and the White House threatening Bob Woodward is also pretty hilarious.

The man's been threatened since 1972.  He's used to it.

No drones* in 72.  :tinfoil:




* of course there were, just that they were called RPVs and didn't end up winning those wars either.

Well the House bill failed to pass the Senate. So is the world ending now?

The president oddly started backtracking on his doom & gloom scenario today.  He said the effects won't be felt immediately :D

I thought everybody understood the effects wouldn't be felt immediately.  Only Wall Street could fuck shit up that bad.

The effect began to be felt a while back actually. They've been preparing for a while.

Meh, the market still closed above 14,000 today, so obviously the wealthy aren't worried about it.

No, in fact the community organizer in chief seemed to be pushing the opposite notion.

Derspeiss prefers failed businessmen as Presidents.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Well I thought it was appropriate, given that the president has spent more time going around agitating than governing.
