Rand Paul Talking Live Now About Debt Deal & Budget Issues!
Go to C-SPAN to check out Rand Paul's promised speech-cum-filibuster about the debt and budget deals.
He is, as I write, demolishing the idea that refusing to raise the debt ceiling automatically means the the government would default on its obligations.
He is also pushing his "cut, cap, and baance" option.
Well worth watching.

But does he have a waffle-scrote?
Maybe he’ll take a nutscape from the Speaker’s Chair.
Wait nevermind, I thought we were talking about Paul Ryan. *slinks away*
In the current environment it seems like windmill tilting.
I guess Baance is one of the Old Gods.
Damn you!
To the pit with ye!
A third-party contender against SMoD and Cthulhu?
I thought it a rather sheepish term, myself.
I see what ewe did there.
Oh, that’s baaad.
I bet he’s got hooves and curly hair.
baance
The Ba’al/Beyonce power couple?
Does he call her Baeyonce or does she call him Bae’al?
Stargate BK 7/11
That’s a waste of a Stargate connecting a burger joint and a convenience store.
I thought he meant Stargate went bankrupt on July 11th?
Can you guys spot what’s wrong with this entire story?
http://www.seattletimes.com/se…..-mukilteo/
Its got to be made up, because “Mukilteo” and “Tokitae” aren’t even real words?
Or maybe third-fucking-degree burns from a momentary exposure to a laser, allowing the person who suffered the “third degree burns” to return to work the next day?
If they get time off of work, expect more laserings in the future.
If they get time off of work, expect more laserings in the future.
The Ferry Union is NOTORIOUSLY corrupt. I’m guessing there’s a big fat long term disability case in the near future.
They got Tleilaxu eyes put in, duh!
Even if we take the ludicrous third-degree burns thing at face value, that’s only one injury. The other guy had “some eye discomfort”. But damned if this reporter isn’t going to do his best to make it sound like these heroes barely escaped with their lives from that laser-wielding menace.
“They got shot in the face with a phaser!!!!!”
Is it even PC to refer to them as ferries anymore?
But I guess it’s OK that the gehz have their own union in seattle.
Two Washington State Ferries employees were injured when a man in his 20s allegedly shined a laser into both wheelhouses on the ferry Tokitae as it approached the Mukilteo terminal last Thursday.
Yes, I’m certain that’s what happened.
*narrows gaze with laser like intensity*
That’s a coherent response.
*shakes fist*
Poor etiquette.
Here’s my response from the reporter on the story:
Oh, kids these days…
Quorum call?
Rand takes the floor, a majority of members think ‘hell no not again’ rush the exits and now they have to drag 49 of them into the room kicking and screaming?
Or is he done?
I wonder whether he is even remotely admired other senators or if every time he opens his mouth he’s the most hated man in Washington.
Yeah, but being hated by a bunch of vile, corrupt statists probably feels pretty good.
Right up until they point where their thugs flashbang my kids.
That’s what steel-reinforced doors are for.
That’s what armored personnel carriers are for.
