    <content type="html">"We can't have really restrictive term limits on politicians, because they'll barely learn how to do their jobs well before having to give them up."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uh, what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, let's say that we restrict, say, Representatives to three 2-year terms (total of six years), which somehow comes across as a terrible idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look, if you can't learn how to do your job (show up, read legislation, vote on legislation, have three martini lunch, fuck off for rest of day) inside of a couple of weeks, you're doing something wrong. And half the fucking time, they don't even bother reading the legislation. "Oh, I'm a {insert party} and this is from {same party}. I'm for it." Or "Oh, I'm a {insert party} and this is from {other party}. I'm against it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, yeah... if you're on one of the big committees, you actually have other shit to do.... ahahahahahaha... yeah, not so much. Pretty much boils down to "Same shit, different room."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuck that. They should no longer get to vote on their own raises either, for that matter. In fact, we should vote on whether they get pay raises or pay cuts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kierthos&amp;ditemid=997182" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">So, in the wake of President Obama deciding he's cool with gay marriage, we have the following drivel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Franklin Graham (the son of Billy Graham): &lt;a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-graham-slams-obama-gay-marriage-20120511,0,6046223.story"&gt;Obama has 'shaken his fist at God'.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently, however, God is smoking a fat bowl of reefer, because he hasn't sent a tidal-wave/hurricane/Hulk to smash D.C. yet. Yes, the "We LOOOOOOOVE JESUS!" empire of Billy Graham wants &lt;strike&gt;your money&lt;/strike&gt; you to hate the gays, like all good Christians should.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And from Bristol Palin (you remember her, the daughter of the woman who didn't finish her term as Governor of Alaska/ex-VP candidate/drag on the ticket... so in other words, she's already two-thirds of a has-been): &lt;a href="http://www.suntimes.com/news/nation/12465954-418/bristol-palin-blames-obamas-gay-marriage-support-on-daughters-glee.html"&gt;In a blog post titled, “Hail to the Chiefs – Malia and Sasha Obama,” the daughter of former presidential candidate Sarah Palin suggests that the reason for Obama’s change-of-heart was caused by his daughters watching too many episodes of television show ‘Glee’.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, in fact the daughters of President Obama are in fact, such an influence on national policy that it should come as a shock to no one that the national symbol of the bald eagle has been replaced by Fluttershy. (Bronies may now rejoice.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahem...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Franklin Graham and Bristol Palin:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FUCK. YOU.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kierthos&amp;ditemid=963828" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
