CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND TELL THEM TO ASK FOR A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE IN SPEAKER BOENER
With a 500% increase of the deficit, he negotiates a 10% decrease
ROLL BACK SPENDING TO 2008 LEVELS
CUT ANYTHING NEW OBAMBI ADDED
Like I have the patience for one to just wander its way up from Brazil.
Sheesh.
;]
But I have this storage unit full of Chinese made Wunder Boners and I don't fish anymore. I guess I'll have to try E-bay before I'm tempted to harass anymore FR women.
Vote of No Confidence? Can they do that and it actually carry some weight?
Just don't let the little buggers escape into the local environment lest you cause a neighborhood incident.
I bet you have a Popeil Pocket Fisherman, though.
[I may be married but I’m not *dead*]....LOL
I don’t think FedEx allows live critters anymore.
I know they have a stroke if you try and get them to ship you House of Kolors paint so spiders are probably on their “hell no” list, too.
I'm stumped. (hmmm, poor choice of words) What I mean to say is; I can't come up with a single reply that I can post.
Hee hee hee.
My Eeeeeevil Plan worked.
;]
What good are they? If I can't get paint, spiders and bullets delivered to my door I'm at a loss as to what they can do for me.
Yikes. That’s heading into ER visits. I’d sooner invest in a Steely Dan for the wife...
Whatever else they *will* allow you to ship, they can deliver it on a Saturday.....:)
There's still no guarantee that you won't end up in the ER though. ;^)
He is not
Yes, you are. Who should take over from Boehner in your opinion?

Just...wow.
[and they won’t ship gay porn in Canada so there’s an upside to it all]....:)
I like the sound of that especially now, since the new (GOP) continuing resolution funds abortion, planned parenthood.
I view that as a complete betrayal on Boehner's part.
They will ship me a horse but not a spider!?! That's just crazy. I note they say no live insects but spiders aren't insects. Arguing that with a clerk is a loser though. I think I see the loophole. They ship plants and plants often have insects (and spiders) on them. I will instruct my Brazilian connection, Julio, to send me a small Bougainvillea and drop the wandering spider in with it.
Unless it escapes during transit and causes the driver an unfortunate reaction no one will be the wiser.
Once again, I’m LOLing by myself because I’m hiding in the men’s locker room, getting a kick out of the conversation.
;o)
Y’all go on about your bidness of being men...
I really don't know how effective or ineffective Boehner has been but our expectations may be slightly unreasonable, not of returning to Constitutional government but of how much house republicans will actually be able to pass into law in the next 2 years.
We have to keep these republicans feet to the fire and at the very least ensure that they do everything possible to stem the bleeding.
She is quite feminine. On occasion, I am told.
