Democrat Deficit Hypocrisy

Some quotes and numbers I got via email:

Democrat Senator Ken Conrad said, "This policy of increasing spending and increasing the tax cuts when you've already got record deficits can only lead to one result, and that's more and more increases in the national debt." Proposed $433 billion in rejected spending this year.

Democrat Senator Tom Harkin said, "this radical budget ... leaves children behind by creating massive deficits on top of already large debt." Proposed $24 billion in rejected spending this year.

Democrat Senator Frank Lautenberg said, "The president wants to charge his budget plan on a credit card - with interest that our children will have to pay." Proposed $15.6 billion in rejected spending this year.

Democrat Senator Hillary Clinton said, "What is it exactly we intend to leave our children besides a more dangerous world and a pile of debt?" Proposed $3.5 billion in rejected spending in 2003.

Totally off topic, but I just thought you would like to know that I can't read your site at work because our internet filter deems it fall in the category "sex."

So, where's the sex?

Well, one of the Reno pics is of Nin's cleavage...

Actually, I've wondered that myself. A friend told me she gets the same thing at work, Maybe it's the name of the blog? I get lots of google searchs for multi-partner sex.

Maybe we need to provide some actual sex since we're being punished for it anway.

Paul, beleive it or not, I actually thought of you when I was posting my reply to Michele. So :P again!

When I first saw the phrase Reno Pics I immediately thought of Janet Reno. And then you said you would post sex and...

Ewww.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!! Damn, my eyes! My eyes!

Bad Michele! No cookie!

You know, people are going to get a shock if they read the comments expecting something to do with taxes.

Sex good. Taxes bad.

There you go.

Ith,

So, if I understand you correctly, you generally tend to associate thinking of me with sex? I'm touched, really... :P

As an aside, it's an odd coincidence that Michele brought up that disturbing mental image, because I've been using that exact thought ever since I first saw Janet Reno every time I want to keep my hormones in check. Believe me, it works.

Posted by: Paul Jané at May 22, 2003 6:07 PM

Yes, Paul dear, that's exactly it. :P

Actually, I was referring to the American Idol post on your blog and the comments ongoing. [g]

And thinking about Janet Reno could damage your brain beyond repair, so be careful!

Damn, I'm going to have to wander off into a corner and sulk now... *pout*

Posted by: Paul Jané at May 22, 2003 6:17 PM

Awwwww

Po'Paul

Have a snickerdoodle!

Posted by: Ith at May 22, 2003 6:19 PM

BTW, just as an aside: what the Heck is a snickerdoodle anyway?

Posted by: Paul Jané at May 22, 2003 6:48 PM

It's kind of like a giant sugar cookie, except it has cinnamon in the sugar on top. It's just fun to say "snickerdoodle"!
