But that depends on whether one knows the difference between "to" and "too".

Sorry for the pedantry.

Of Boner's and Cantor's cocky stroll with faces filled with unearned superiority . . . I might feel sorry for him. However, the Alzheimer's has not kicked in on me yet.

are the teabaggers. I want to see if they have learned anything in this process.

Lessons, such as, "Hey dipshits, nobody outside of Britebart agrees with you, and Britebart is dead."

We do have some serious problems here. Now that it looks like this circus is coming to an end, a lot of attention will be focusing on the rollout of the ACA. The worst part of that is not the IT failures at Healthcare.gov. The big problem is that while nobody was looking, the insurance companies have jammed America with huge price increases. I wonder if this is going to fundamentally change the economics of the ACA enough to put it at risk.

You know, that is absolutely right. Very telling.

You never see him get emotional about the difficulties of others.

Very Republican. They only are concerned when something affects them personally. They lack the empathy gene.

I'm just thinking about who the new speaker would be. It's not like they have anybody better waiting for this position.
