Sequesterization?

[Gaspar]

I doubt he would've been accepted in either place.

Tru dat!

[Gaspar]

Amazing, and rather childish political stunt.  I see this backfiring horribly.

He could have been if he had combed his hair differently.

They tried it and failed: 



pretty, white, giant foreheads

Needed to shave their heads to make foreheads larger.  Would've showed tan lines and taken from the prettiness.

His hair looks that same as always to me in that picture.

If the sequestration cuts that the president signed into law go into affect, the following may result from the 1.8% reduction in federal spending:
Old people will be forced out of their retirement homes and many will turn to prostitution.
Janet Napolitano will release millions of illegal aliens from holding cells.
Murderers will be freed from prisons.
Firemen and teachers will roam the streets eating brains.
There will be a drastic reduction in drone attacks against American citizens.
Electric car companies will have to make a profit to survive.
President Obama may be forced to close GITMO.
The Chinese will invade and force us to buy more iPads.
Michelle Obama will be limited to one $20 million dollar vacation a year.
The Kraken will be set free from his watery prison.
Flights will be delayed and those that do fly will crash due to a drastic changes in the navier-Stokes equations of fluid dynamics related to airfoil design.
The average American will no longer be able to maintain sphincter tension.
Peas will taste like carrots.
All public transit will be required to increase prices by 1.8%.
The evil rich will become invincible and only stoppable by a magic shotgun owned by Joe Biden.

President Obama has proven to be a master at crafting hobgoblins.  When a crisis looms, rather than face it head-on, he takes to the campaign trail.  He has the power, without lifting sequestration, to divert the cuts to other programs.  There is an empty chair somewhere waiting for him.

I was fine with all the other things, but definitely not this being sacrificed due to sequester:

There will be a drastic reduction in drone attacks against American citizens.

Hey, drone pilots gotta eat too.

How about if we keep the drone attacks against American citizens and reduce the attacks against non-American citizens?

I was fine with all the other things, but definitely not this being sacrificed due to sequester:

There will also be other important consequences:
Maintenance on the $750,000 soccer field at Guantanamo will end.
The 20 million dollar Indonesian student master's degree program will be defunded.
The government funded study to to determine if cocaine makes Japanese quail engage in sexually risky behavior will end.
The government tattoo removal program in Mission Hills California will no longer be available.
The next Fanny Mae/Freddy Mac bailout will likely be postponed.
The 30 million dollar program to help Pakistani farmers produce more mangos will end.
All studies of bovine flatulence will end.
$2.7 million dollars will no longer be available to Chinese prostitutes for alcoholism recovery.
The US postal service will no longer be able to buy group dinners at Ruth's Chris for $13,500 each.
The federal government may have to sell the thousands of empty buildings they spend $25 Billion a year maintaining.
Shipping expenses for the military will be restricted (Last year the U.S. military spent "$998,798 shipping two 19-cent washers from South Carolina to Texas and $293,451 sending an 89-cent washer from South Carolina to Florida).
The study to find out why gay men in Argentina engage in risky sexual behavior when they are drunk will likely be suspended.
The genital-washing program in South Africa will end.

In essence the $150 million dollars an hour that the government spends will be reduced to $146.3 million dollars an hour.  OH THE HORROR!

CLASSIC! Hannity sounds like Conan...."I'm not a republican"


Meanwhile: "This is the latest Republican push: to claim that these cuts represent a trivial amount of money while also demanding that the president initiate them himself so the GOP won't get blamed when some of its constituents find themselves laid off from jobs or standing in longer lines at the airport. Party of personal responsibility!"

Even if you agree with Keith Ellison and hate Sean Hannity, you should be totally embarrassed by Ellison's behavior.  It was abominable.   It was worse than most of you lefties claim O'Reilly and Hannity to be combined.  Disgusting....

Right back at ya.  I expected nothing less from you (and perhaps a few others that have yet to speak).

It's been a few days since this country got sequestered. How many casualties has TNF sustained?
