I was reminded of this SNL skit

while reading this:

Get your fiscal house in order: China warns US as superpower expresses concern for $1.3tn of investments
'Clock is ticking', says Chinese minister, as US fails to break deadlock over government shutdown and fast-approaching ‘debt ceiling’ deadline

There's a theme!

It's Senator Reid's fault!



A little fun here:

How will you selectively target your pseudo-populist astroturfed anger today?

Is there anything you've always wanted to do in a national monument/park?

The Obamapocalypse Is Now!

“President Obama waived a ban on arming terrorists in order to allow weapons to go to the Syrian opposition. Your listeners, US taxpayers, are now paying to give arms to terrorists including Al Qaeda. … This happened and as of today the United States is willingly, knowingly, intentionally sending arms to terrorists, now what this says to me, I’m a believer in Jesus Christ, as I look at the End Times scripture, this says to me that the leaf is on the fig tree and we are to understand the signs of the times, which is your ministry, we are to understand where we are in God’s end times history. … Rather than seeing this as a negative, we need to rejoice, Maranatha Come Lord Jesus, His day is at hand.”

-- Michele Bachmann

My fav part is:

Tennessee church vandalized by atheists. And by "atheists" we mean "satanists", because they're, like, totally the same, aren't they?

While this Tennessee church experienced an outright attack, secular humanists continue to work behind the scenes to surreptitiously silence the Christian voice within America. Whether through ObamaCare mandates, anti-discrimination lawsuits, or any other desperate ploy, the left understands that the only way to continue its transformation of this nation is by maintaining a stranglehold on those fighting to preserve it.

How the author jumps from a simple story of vandalism by druggy teens to anti-discrimination suits and Obamacare Mandates is a feat of Walter Sobchak-like proportions.
