Senate Chaplin's prayer:

[tk2kewl]

“Have mercy upon us, oh God, and save us from the madness,” Black prayed Thursday morning. “We acknowledge our transgressions, our shortcomings, our smugness, our selfishness, and our pride. Create in us clean hearts, oh God, and renew a right spirit within us.”

“Deliver us from the hypocrisy of attempting to sound reasonable while being unreasonable,” he continued. “Remove the burdens of those who are the collateral damage of this government shutdown, transforming negatives into positives as you work for the good of those who love you.”

2. There's a person who should be unemployed!

Senate Chaplin??? Really?

Fuck that noise!

There is no god and even if there was one (which there isn't) why the fuck would a being that spreads the entire universe give two fucking shits about a political party of one country of one planet of one solar system of one galaxy out of the billions upon billions of galaxies in the universe?
