Eventually you can only go so far right until you meet up with the other end of the world, with embracing arms. Comforting, eh?

In another galaxy far away, there were these drinking songs. It was the ’70’s. ‘Now I’m a broken man on a Halifax pier’ was an ecstatic state to aspire to. He died coming home from TX, Natch.

Dear Lawd, just read through those comments at PP.. I think half those folks were touching themselves while writing. Sheesh. No minds convinced or changed there.

Yeah, I know, no fun. There’s Weiner joke above this post by McCaag. JMP
I was going to say good luck with the primary efforts in your party.
Good luck with that.
My plan at the moment is to try and keep “various members” of my party to quit threatening to primary members like Saxby Chambliss who are working on an actual, passable solution that the world financial markets will acknowledge as controlling the debt.
Yes, Troll. Anyone who suggests the following to solve our current economic woes is no “Great American”:
1. Department of the Treasury – reduce in size by 50%.
2. Department of Commerce – eliminate
3. Department of Education – eliminate
4. Department of Energy – eliminate
5. Department of Agriculture – reduce in size by 75%
6. Department of Health and Human Services – reduce in size by 75%
7. Department of Housing and Urban Development – eliminate
8. Department of Transportation – reduce in size by 75%
9. Department of Labor -eliminate
10. Department of State – reduce in size by 75%
11. Department of the Interior – reduce in size by 75% and sell off most federal land holdings.
12. Department of Homeland Security – reduce in size by 50% or more.
13. Department of Defense – reduce in size by 25%
14. Department of Justice – reduce in size by 50%
15. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to be phased out at the national level over a 20 year period.
16. Make spending cuts happen any way you want to as long as the deficit is reduced to =/< $200 billion (in real nominal dollars) by year 5 (that's $280 Billion per year in spending cuts – easily doable), the budget is balanced by year 6 and surpluses in the ensuing years devoted to national debt retirement.
17. Do it all without a nickle increase in taxes.
What's your plan?
Trolls?
I think Hannity’s term is “Great American”.
Happy Weekend!
