You're Better Off, Believe Me


The federal government is closed today, which means I get to go shovel snow. A mixed blessing for me, to be sure, but a good deal for taxpayers. Meanwhile, you may want to pop over to the Other McCain for Smitty's caption contest, or read Robert Avrech's take-down of a particularly nauseating piece of 1940s commie film propaganda.

Update: So, after two days of stakhanovite labor, I have finally cleared my driveway - to no purpose, that I can see, because the snow is still over a foot deep in the road. And they're now predicting another 8-10 10-20 inches of snow Tuesday and Wednesday.

Update II: Angels have wafted Jack Murtha to his eternal reward.

Update III: Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for Obama care.

I expect that most of the Federal goobermint outside of the National Capital Region will get along nicely. Probably better than usual, in fact.

Except for the usual percentage who don't have the cojones to make a decision on their own, of course.

The hell with Gummint..Careful of the back Pac...O. You just may injure your subgeou.

What the hell ever that is, but it has to be French.

Quite frankly, I liked the last WV, but couldn't think of a damn thing to type

Breaking news.

John Murtha has died.

Those weren't angels that came for Jack Murtha.

I cringe at the thought of this backstabber being accorded a full military honors funeral. He should have been drummed out of the Corps long ago. Too bad he didn't espouse "Death Before Dishonor".

No "Taps" for Jack.

The denouement of your valiant shoveling, Paco, will be when the snowplow comes by and blocks off your driveway again with a three foot wall of fully packed ice.

Besides, if you don't have a snowblower by now, you should invest in one. We're in for the long haul, I fear.

And lastly, farewell John Murtha, and good riddance.

Rebecca: I may have to invest in a snow blower, and maybe a truck with a blade on it, too (could be a source of significant other income).

Re: Update III. That didn't work with Ted Kennedy's corpse, which had higher relevancy to ObamaCare than Murtha's cadaver. Which demonstrates that the Dhimmicrats don't learn from their mistakes.

JeffS said...

PS to Update II: Heh!

That Congressional majority so enjoyed by the Dhimmicrats seems so......fleeting.

JeffS said...

I meant "Update III". My bad.

The Devil is building a special ring in Hell for Murtha. Sorry it didn't hurt more. May God have mercy on his soul, because God knows he doesn't deserve mercy here on Earth.

Wonder if Murtha's body was donated to science. Gotta find out what makes someone like Murtha so that it can be dealt with.

As for the snowy situation, Paco. How much do day laborers go for in your neighborhood? Because we all know that shoveling or blowing snow is a job that Americans won't do, unless it is within the halls of Congress.
