the teabagger network. I only know because I had the tv on news13 and switched it to msnbc but I have to pass the wasteland channel and I did a double take. Some Patriots they are don't even show the President. That just disgusts me. Thank God for Obama!

That's a term everyone understands. Lazy is the implication. Combine that with reports of drunk Republicans and we've got a nice image for the Republicans right now.

Saying they are happy about the shut-down. Even shafting their own Congressional staff! Priebus offering to fund the WWII Memorial like a second-rate piker!

Rejoice! It's the end of the world! For the GOP!
