Republican Senators were directed to provide their own transportation (as did our Prezzy) unlike us peons whose transportation is paid for by tax dollars. Maybe I got that one wrong, but it’s too late to correct it in time for

The restaurant is only a few blocks from the Senate, so if there were already there doing their job then it wouldn’t be so hard to…
… oh wait, the senators munching filet mignon with
Agent Smith from the MatrixObama are NOT doing their job. Cruz and Paul and Rubio are in the Senate doing their job.The least they could do is bring Rand and company a doggie bag. They undoubtedly won’t, though, because if they had any balls, they would have refused the damn dinner and gone to help with the filibuster.
sen johnson takes up the cause.

@ Bunk X:
when joe died. i wept.
@ Bunk X:
yeah its their big hit read the lyrics:
Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin’ to the top
The sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a-cruisin’ down the ville
The muezzin was a’ standing
On the radiator grille
CHORUS:
Sharia don’t like it
Rockin’ the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
Sharia don’t like it
Rockin’ the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric kettel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the Sharia
Had cleared the square
They began to wail
CHORUS
Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack ‘em in
The in crowd say it’s cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
And the temple band took five
The crowd caught a whiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive
CHORUS
The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way
As soon as the Sharia was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare
As soon as the Sharia was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed
CHORUS
(Spoken throughout the last chorus):
He thinks it’s not kosher
Fundamentally he can’t take it
You know he really hates it

He was underrated, but he knew what he was doing because he studied The Ramones. Jump to 4:00

Oh, one of those threads, eh?
Some guy came by wanting to know if I wanted my drive shovelled about 3 PM yesterday. But by then it was obvious there was no need. Kudos to him for hustling around looking to make a buck, though.

No, don’t have any good gun thread topics to hand this morning, other that what has now become the normal background noise of gun-grabbing proposals in various state legislatures. Those, I’m sure, everybody can spot on their own.
Good Morning. I now return to my Ottawa trip that was so bright and cold.
@ PaladinPhil:
Nice!
Did you go to Parliament and look at all the silly pomp? (At least I think it’s silly…)
Ottawa is a beautiful city.
I wish I could skate to work…
Have a good day all!
CPAC was started in order to challenge the Rockefeller wing of the Republican party. Ronald Reagan spoke at every CPAC from 1973 to 1988.
Today, CPAC has a tool of the Rockefeller Republicans. Anyone critical of the Muslim Brotherhood is muzzled. The Death of Free Speech: CPAC EXPOSED (2009-2013)
@ Bumr50:
No, I was only there for the weekend. Didn’t think anyone would be at work so I bypassed the parliament buildings. I may return sometime to go over the hill with the proper attention it deserves.
I see 360 degrees of sanitary facility
This looks like something that will completely revolutionize tires in very short order- virtually indestructible off-road while smooth and quieter on road. They look invisible when the vehicle is moving. Very cool

We did Montreal when there was still ice and snow everywhere, Less tourists, and always a good excuse to pop into a restaraunt or pub! Froze our asses off in the Forbidden City, too.
@ MacDuff:
Piss poor reporting. An AK 47 is caliber 7.62, not .50. A .50 knocks big holes in anything it shoots. I am sure that these tires would be no exception. It’s a neat concept, I grant you. We’ll see where it goes, though.
Picky point -- an AK-47 round is 7.62 mm, which is .30 caliber.
