More small-governmenty actions from my GOP. I love it. Keep it up, jackasses.

Rapmaster2000: Derwood: Maybe if they supported more government grants for college education, these women wouldn't have to dance for a living

I like to imagine that they're all stripping to pay for law school and the little bit they spend on coke is just to take the edge off.


BTW, if you ever go to a gentleman's club in Vegas a couple of times, you soon learn that a lot of the girls are "studying marketing at UNLV".

/Riiiiight.
//Still, it's fun to imagine a lecture hall full of strippers.

Raharu: Derwood: Maybe if they supported more government grants for college education, these women wouldn't have to dance for a living

Done in 1.

But then who will go down on them in the back of a limousine while trying to impeach the president?

heinekenftw: Party of small government indeed.


OH NOES! There have to be rules if you're on welfare. OH THE HUMANITY!

How about no welfare? That's ultra small government right there.

/You want to go to a strip club, do it with money you earned at a job.
//Granted, you have to consider a cost/benefit analysis to see if certain regulations are worth it.

BSABSVR: Ultimately, there's a disconnect between the low approval ratings and how Congress spends its time, because the public's view is driven by cynicism over the lack of results, said Michael Dimock, research director at the Pew Research Center, a Washington-based nonpartisan group that studies public opinion.

*Sigh*

No. The disconnect is that you commission reports on the approval and disapproval of congress as a whole, when people vote for their representative and senators only. It doesn't matter how much I hate congress, if I think my guys are awesome and everyone ELSE is part of the problem.

And this is like the third thread about this this week, but since it's strippers, I' m ok with this.

Yeah, but take a look at this (it is a bit dated now, so forgive me). Among them(independents), 65 percent say they want their own House representative tossed out in 2012, compared with 53 percent of respondents generally. (new window)

Count me as one that doesn't want to see his Rep tossed out. Peter DeDazio has done a pretty good job in my view. And his opponent this year will again be a creationist climate change denier that thinks Oregon should import radioactive materials to increase our exposure and improve our health through radiation hormesis, a hypothesis that hasn't even been thoroughly tested yet.

DeFazio opposed the stimulus on the grounds it was too small and contained to many tax cuts and would make actual spending on infrastructure impossible for years to come.

He's proposed a microtransaction tax on high volume Wall Street trades to try and reign in the worst of the excesses there while simultaneously paying down the debt.

And he takes his congressional pay raises and uses that to fund a scholarship program for displaced workers.


But mostly I don't want his opponent to win. Art Robinson is a nut job that makes Michelle Bachmann look sane.

No shiat?

Sarah Palin's Conscience: I'm a single mother about to go to college. One of the biggest challenges I'm facing is finding a job that will accommodate my school schedule, family life, and pay enough to cover rent, child care, and food.

Has anyone ever tried to find an overnight baby sitter? For a regular weekly basis? It's damned near impossible to do.

You let the kid sleep in his carseat in the back room. Maybe, if you're lucky, one of the meth heads will watch him for you.

Of course, the music's so loud, you can't hear them if they cry anyway...
