funniest headline of the day?
almost spit out my drink reading this, so if you know enough about economics or the US constitution (not necessarily both in this case), take a seat and breathe deeply before proceeding:
Congress deadlocked on ways to lower gas prices
isn’t that a hoot? given that the only way for congress to contribute to lowered gas prices is to get the fuck out of the way, of course they’re deadlocked. what simpering shoeboy tyrant fuckoff worth his salt would plunge headlong into even an aspect of the solution here, absent oil lobbyists goosing them with an option that both signs off on their illegal/immoral “authority” to control “exploration and drilling in protected offshore areas and in the Arctic wilderness” and begs for indulgence?
an oilman with balls and honor would use some of that vast wealth to build an army that would attack the goons in washington whenever they interfere in private property. declare his property free from constraint illegal or immoral, then dare the goons to do something about it. same with the airlines, of course.
often i cannot believe this country’s so full of dastardly pussies.
