Once upon a time, a malevolent band of Hobbit terrorists armed with sugar-coated Satan sandwiches wreaked havoc across the fruited plain!

Forget cowboy poetry! In a few short days Washington, DC, has seen a renaissance of political poetry - verse about as elegant as the sausage-makers crafting it.
If we weren't so deep in debt and on the brink of another recession, it would be funny, too.
Joe Biden, that bard of the West Wing known to seize every opportunity to mix flawed concepts with flawed verse, reportedly called Tea Partiers "terrorists" today. Just a little over one month away from the ten-year anniversary of 9/11, too. Classy.
He wasn't speaking extemporaneously, either. He was supposedly repeating what Mike Doyle, a Democratic congressman from PA, exclaimed in a closed door meeting. Doyle said, "We have negotiated with terrorists. This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money."
So Biden apparently had time to think about it before repeating the line.
This comes not long after a formerly obscure and unknown Democratic congressman, Emanuel Cleaver, called the debt deal a "Satan Sandwich." This comment has lit up the blogosphere and already inspired Satan sandwich contests and the like (for those interested in making an actual sugar coated Satan sandwich, the Daily Caller offers this recipe).
Of course, those "extreme" Republican Tea Partiers are the terrorists cooking up those Satan sandwiches.
And then, on the right side of the aisle, we had John McCain, channeling the WSJ editorial board, calling the rank-and-file, pro-BBA Republicans "Hobbits."
What's really interesting in all of this is that, despite any naive calculations they may have made about default, the conservative caucus in the House has been the only straightforward, transparent group of people in Washington.
At least it's good to know that when they get active, they provoke the deeper sentiments of Washington's poetic class.
Yep, they just don't fit in.
ROTFLMAO! Let’s hear it for The Hobbits!!
how to make a Satan Sandwich
QUICK SATAN SANDWICHES
1 jar Pizza quick sauce
Pizza dough
Shredded cheese
1 lb. hamburger
1 pkg. taco seasoning
Onions, optional
Brown hamburger. Add taco seasoning as directed on package. Roll out dough into small circles, about 8 inch across. Place meat, cheese and onions in middle of circles. Fold in half and press closed.
Bake on greased pan at 420 degrees until dough is golden brown.
YUM!
Proud ‘Hobbit Terrorist’ here. I used to be a charter member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy but I’m turning in that badge and drawing one for ‘Hobbit Terrorist’!
Shouldn’t that be “terrorist Hobbits”?
You rang?
LLS
I think he was calling me.
No. I am Terrorist Hobbit. (Or is it Hobbit Terrorist. Damn!)
We be Hobbits!
Middle Earth is a good analogy. The hobbits defeated Sauron, the epitome of evil.
The pan-Leninist progressives and socialist republicans can’t stand it. Wait until the primaries next Spring. We’ll see how much “hobbit terrorist” tall talk they have when the incumbents all get the heave-ho in the primaries. And then Omullah will be defeated in November and we can get our country back. Next year, the ballot box will be the terror for these corrupt spending and stealing maniacs. Last year obamacare. This year the debt ceiling and default threat. Next year there will be some other bozo self induced crisis. We will never forget. Do they really think they will survive another general election? No way!!
Let me clear on this one thing; I, for one, am totally against terrorizing Hobbits. They’re great, solid citizens that just want to live and let live. But, once threatened, they have a reputation of chucking evil things into volcanos and it seems that a bunch of them have their work cut out for them in D.C.
