    I almost walked out of the Two Towers. What a shit fest that was. Each scene perfect total, package mindlessly undirected. Especially because the first had such a simple driving plot system "the ring tests the members of the company. Then Faramir takes the ring WTF? Fordo shows it to a Nazgul at the foot of Mordor DOUBLE WTF? That movie needs a Phantom Edit like the House of Representatives needs an enema.

    No they just screwed up the balance of the book. Instead of stupid Vogon bullshit they should have padded out the original story to 110 minutes with far more guide entries. Like 50% 50% plot and guide... just like the book.

    The Al Gore rant is Stawman argument; no bearing on the parent.

    As to the poor you can offset that with subsidies. If we simply cut the tax cuts for oil companies we could pay for retrofitting a huge umber of houses. in 2011 exon made 9,910 million dollars they paid 39 million on taxes at rate of .4%. At 33% that would be 3231 million in additional revenue. That's a lot of passive solar and window retro fits.

    Comment on breaching the debit limit. Prove it could be a good thing. You can't because it is insane.

    Comment on the fact that both houses, the president, the supreme court, and a second presidential election is worth less than one house election where the gop base was over represented by insane primaries and gerrymandering.

    You can't because you are wrong. This is not about class. This is not about fairness. This is not about compromise. It is about the end of dixiecrat dominist lies a rerun to decisions based on science and fact not ideology.

    I am in the middle of a cattle watering project that is funded by a USDA grant. They would like us to get our cows out of the river and are willing to reimburse us for part of the costs. Benefits the public with clean water, benefits the total amount and quality of cattle production and allows us to afford it. Due to furlough we have a hugh hole in the field we can't fill in until it is inspected... where all the inspectors at.

    These people are a tiny percentage of the republican party nee dixiecrats who are not democratically elected but elected by Gerrymandered districts where they face no competition and are only elected by the bat shit crazys in the primary and the rubber stamped by moderates in the general election who vote Republican becasue their father and grandfathers did but those forbearers would had the dixiecrat racist fucks as much as I do.

    You are totally totally totally wrong. The "terrible 10" in the house that are pushing this represent less than 18% of the population. In addition US democracy works likes this... the house passes a bill (check) the senate ratifies the bill (check) the president signs a bill (check) the supreme court rules on the constitutionality of a bill (check) the bill is law. All of the steps were followed with Obama care / ACA. What we have here is a bunch of assholes who want to use extortion to force extra legal change. As to the left bankrupting the economy you are wrong again. 4 trillion give or take by Bush and an all right wing house and senate. He had a balanced budget when he started and had a cluster-fuck when he left. Did you know the only reason the Republican believe in tax cuts for the rich was for the 'theory of the two santa clauses'? They were just looking for something shiny to offer the hoi poloi and know fiscal conservatism was a hard sell to the great unwashed.

    And as to FUCKING insanity if the debt limit is breached that would be like if you went into a bank and told your morgage officer that you just picked up a meth addiction and would they please triple your rate. Anyone who wants to reduced the debt and the deficit would be TOTALLY FUCKING INSANE to default on our debt and raise our rates from basically NOTHING to P.I.G.S. levels.

    Personally since you admit to not being an American I would guess you are a Greek shipping magnate you refuses to pay taxes on his pool and burns down national forests to push development.
