Worthless, time and money wasting...they will be the death of America.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

Absolutely and unquestionably.

[Delphinus]

2. Jeezus.

[Hissyspit]

3. You're an adult, you stupid asshole.

Act like one.

Sorry, but it's true.

[Iggo]

\m/ \m/

[Newsjock]

6. Woot! :)

[alcina]

7. Too funny!

But I think Satan's approval is pretty much a given for any Republican legislation.

[minidriver]

8. Ooh, I was the 13th vote-up on this

Can I change my vote-up number to 69?

[alcina]

9. Just curious

Do you drive a Mini Cooper, or are you a slightly incognita British singer-actress?

[VWolf]

14. or an undersized golf club? n/t

[minidriver]

44. First one

2003 Mini, 190k miles so far. All the parts falling off if it are of the finest English craftsmanship (even if the profits for the parts go to BMW).

[KansDem]

10. Apparently, the congressman has no problem with the number 174,000

Which represents the number of US dollars he receives each year for thinking this shit up...

[underpants]

21. He could just turn it upside down

And make it 999

[spartan61]

11. Don't the repukes have anything

better to do than change numbers on bills or voting and revoting on Obamacare repeals? I can think of any number of things that our congress critters were elected to do to help the American people as well as our country.

[blkmusclmachine]

12. And 7 is a special number to Christian reconstructionists/Christian dominionists.

15. Nice job, Joe.

You're really earning that $174K salary

[TRoN33]

16. OH Barton!

[dinger130]

17. He's nothing more than a big-loving oil

sorry s.o.b. He was the one who thought we needed to apologize to B. P. during the OIL Spill while my business was going under because of it.

Still waiting on my settlement just like thousands of others. What about those numbers you prick.

[marym625]

28. Sorry you are still suffering from that

Outrageous that you and so many are.

[dinger130]

38. Thank you.

I'm hoping that this will be settled soon. It's been a long road.

[marym625]

39. I hope so.

I know you are not alone. It's atrocious that such a rich company can screw so many people without consequences. It may not be the new America, but it sure is exaggerated from years past. Corpocracy at its finest.

Just curious, have you read any Greg Palast on this subject? He is the authority when it comes to BP failings.

[dinger130]

40. No, I haven't read Palast,

but I will. BP had the police visit me at my office and at home. Said they were worried that I would commit suicide. They will go to any lengths. It was a nightmare and it is still ongoing. I'm still here and I will never be quiet.

I sold my home on the water (17 years), closed my business in Gulf Shores (11 years) and moved to Kentucky. Too many people rolled over.... I won't.

[marym625]

41. jesus christ!

That's horrible! I'm so very sorry. Just horrendous!

I bet Palast would love to hear your story.

Here's a link to one of the kazillion articles he wrote on BP. This shows how it was BP, not ExxonMobil that was responsible for the Valdez disastrous spill.

18. Dr. Pussycat says: Dear Joe Barton. . .

[polynomial]

19. The edge of Hell or the edge of Divine

“No religious Test shall ever be required as Qualification” Better the core of the Constitution forbade Congress to make any law "respecting an establishment of religion."

Did we see what happened here? Joe Barton openly with defiance took a sequence of the perfect number six denounced it as wicked and evil. True many do think that.

Does this illustrate that Joe Barton is the voice of God. The radiant right connected to God to write rules of man. We can bet on it…do a search and find the mark of the beast symbolically identifies those who let the political system rule their lives. And Joe Barton is playing the game.

This reminds of an old cowboy movie where that Texas Ranger has the right to go anywhere arrest anyone who broke law in Texas however no such laws or condemnation are recognized in any other state.

Just think of all the perverted legislation this Texas Congress persona or many others make that are testing the religious reasoning which is antithetical to the basic Constitution. It is not cruel to say just skip that number. But no make sensational grandstanding, play his bible base against the rest of America.

31. In southern (red states) folk lore, one goes to the crossroads to summon a demon.

It is seen as a location between worlds where the supernatural can take place. Deals with the devil can be brokered with summoned demons. Makes as much sense as fearing the number 666, but I find it interesting that the religious right seems to have no issues giving/accepting money to/from Turd Blossom's American Crossroads Super Pac. Fearful of having a bill numbered 666, yet perfectly willing to make a deal with the devil at the crossroads...

[Initech]

20. Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast.

For it is a human number. It's number is six hundred and sixty six.

[Midnight Writer]

34. The number 666 is actually a faulty translation

As reported in National Geographic, ancient scrolls pre-dating the Bible have been translated, and the true number of the Beast is 616.

By the way, according to American Christian fundamentalists, the Great Beast is USA government. Obama is not the Anti-Christ per se, but merely an agent of the Beast. Somehow, Republican Presidents (and other elected Republicans) get a pass on this issue.

Paying your taxes is known as "feeding the Beast".

22. Well, all around Montreal there are buildings

...with no 13th floor. Skips right from 12 to 14. It's a common practice: something about people not wanting to rent space on a 13th floor? So apparently the world is filled with superstitious fools.

[marym625]

27. everywhere

Not just Montreal.

Weird. Really, really weird practice.

Isn't there a movie about the elusive 13th floor?

[tclambert]

29. In Japan, four is the unluckiest number. It's because they use the same word for death.

So imagine you're counting along: one, two, three, DEATH. Kinda of understandable they'd think that's unlucky. Do you really want to take an elevator up to the death floor?

[3catwoman3]

33. There are even two different words for 4.

You can count to four either of two ways:

ichi, ni, san, shi (I think this is the death version. I left there in 1980, so it been a long time.)

ichi, ni, san, yon

23. 666 the number of the triple goddess

Hex

A term or word designating a witch’s spell which has a long historical association with the connotation of the number six. The Greek hex, and the Latin sex cognate with the Egyptian seven, "to embrace, to copulate." Six almost universally represzented the number of sex, representing the union between the Triple Goddess and her trident-bearing consort, which is why Christian authorities labeled six "the number of sin." Pythagoreans, on the other hand, called six the perfect number, or The Mother. One of its Egyptian forms seshemu, "sexual intercourse" – shown in hieroglyphics by male and female genitals in conjunction – survived in the Sufi love-charm designed to open the "cave" of the Goddess: Open, Sesame.

The hexagonal hex signs include the six-pointed Tantric yanta of love. The name of the sign comes from the Pennsylvania Dutch, who borrowed the word from their native German word for "witch." Hexe, which in turn is from the Old High German hagazussa or hagzissa ("hag&quot .

A triple six, 666, was the magic number of Triple Aphrodite (or Ishtar) in the guise of the Fates. The Book of Revelation called it "the number of the Beast" (Revelation 13:18). After Solomon met the Queen of Sheba he acquired 666 talents of gold (I Kings, 10:14). In Christian literature the 666 has been referred to as Satan’s number, but the recurrences of the number in esoteric traditions is frequently surprising. The maze at Chartres Cathedral, for example, was planned to be 666 feet long.

The Egyptians considered 3, 6 and 7 most sacred numbers. Three represented the Triple Goddess, six meant her union with God; seven meant the Seven Harthos, seven planetary spheres, seven-gated holy city, seven-year reigns of kings, and so forth. Egyptians were obsessed with the conviction that the total number of all deities had to be 37, because of the number’s magical properties. This was because it combined the sacred numbers of 3 and 7; and, 37 multiplied by any multiple of 3 gave a triple digit or "trinity": 111, 222, 333, 444, 555, etc. The miraculous number 666 is the product of 3 X 6 X 37

36. Republican has more negative connotations than 666 does.

43. This fool has been my (mis) representative for years.

He is truly an idiot devoid of any intellectual thought. He cares only for his Xtian dogma and forcing, his Big Oil backers and his kickbacks.
