And for this August 1, I figured something bizarre might be afoot. Especially on the floor of the House of Representatives.

Every morning, I check-in with Sarah Santer, the morning assignment editor in FOX

From Rep. Pete Hoekstra, in the middle of things:

"This is a new Boston Tea Party. Gallery is engaged. People are excited. Rep Brady asking why Speaker isn't here. Where are you?"

'Even Alice Cooper would have been proud.'

And Alice - Vince Furnier - is a Republican and born-again Christian.

Is this the same Chad that called it a “sophomore prank”? He must be a sophomore himself since he doesn’t know what “Ides” is. lol

When the first “lady” wannabe uses, “my baby daddy”, “we be” is acceptable.

From Wiki:

~~~

The Ides of March (Latin: Idus Martiae) is the name of the date 15 March in the Roman calendar.

The term ides was used for the 15th day of the months of March, May, July, and October, and the 13th day of the other eight months.[1]

In Roman times, the Ides of March was a festive day dedicated to the god of Mars and a military parade was usually held.

In modern times, the term Ides of March is best known as the date that Julius Caesar was assassinated, in 44 BC, the story of which was famously dramatised in William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar.[2]

The term has come to be used as a metaphor for impending doom.

Stupid savage. The first day of the month is the PRIMES, not the IDES.
