Sheila Jackson Lee Is Free
I know that many Dem's here love to pile on the Republican babes so I would like to give some comedy relief from one of their finest.
http://www.punditpress.com/2013/02/s...eed-slave.html
Quote:
She called on Republicans to meet Democrats at the negotiating table and rejected the idea that President Obama delivered a partisan State of the Union address Tuesday night.
"May I ask them to take some cotton out of their ears, because in actuality, the president extended his hands of friendship," she said. "I don't want to hear the fact that the president is divisive. The president is leading, and he's led well."
Jackson Lee suggested lawmakers should take inspiration from President Lincoln’s leadership during the Civil War.
"I stand here as a freed slave because this Congress came together. Are we going to be able to do it today to free America?"

That story is consistent with my theory that this country has really been dumbmed down.

She's going to have an impressive collection of Obama autographs.

Did my eyes deceive me, or after the SOTU didn't I see Corrine Brown waiting for Obama to kiss her or something and he ignored her?

Not the first, last, or least moronic thing she has ever said. Especially since her version of "freeing" America is... lots and lots more government telling us who gets what, when, how much, and from who.

Theory?
The metrics have shown this trend. I don't think there is a "theory" here.
That's like saying "i have a theory that we are all getting fatter"

What happened to all the little green thingies that were under my avatar? Were they replaced by a big yellow thingy? (I think there was one there before.) No big deal, I just noticed it.
Wait, it is a big deal. How come Gatorman 07732 has 27 big yellow thingies, and I only have two? I demand an explanation!

This grievous injustice must not stand. Rep must be redistributed and it must happen now!

Spend more time in the pub forum. The rep is handed out like gov't checks over there.

I don't believe in handouts. That's not what I'm here for. The fact is, I don't know what I'm here for.

Stay away - the handouts over there usually involve threads about sideboob or bikini pics. It's enough to get a man dependent on the rep dole for life.

Isn't she the Congressional intellectual who thought that NASA had men land on Mars?
