I usually say the House of Liars & the House of Thieves, but I can’t argue with Yukoner.
This circus needs a new act. T Party may not be better than D or R, but at least it’s silly. G & L, each have good points, but they’re too boring. Where’s the high-wire? Maybe a trapeze. Shoot someone out of a cannon. At least hire someone to clean up after the animal acts, I’d hate to insult such a noble profession with the implication that all I see are clowns, & they’re a little creepy.

Coastal or mountain, city or farm, might use a different recipe, but it still works, as long as you don’t ask us to govern. Just let the illegal aliens harvest our legalized pot while we go surfing.
I’ve stopped arguing whether certain government programs are a good idea. I have just two questions: “Is* it constitutional now?” and “Should* we pass an amendment to make it legal?” Also up for discussion is doing it at the state level (much better for things like welfare) instead of passing an amendment. States can’t get away with massive deficits for as long as the feds.

That’s correct, Skyler.

And they do. Senate Nuts and House Nuts. And of course White House nuts for good measure.
In bars the nuts are on the house. In Washington the nuts are in the House.

The other one is the house of ill repute. Will I get bleeped if I use the term “whore house”?

Yukoner - isn’t that just a house of tarts.
Roger Smith over 14 years ago
Just curious, but is the booze at a house of tarts properly called tarter sauce??

The government is like a bowl of granola, when you remove the fruits and nuts…what you have left is the flakes.

The truth….and just as a newspaper represents a cross section of the people it serves, so a politician is most of those people. GS

Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.
