Obama BS bingo - drinking game card
Posted by: Frank G || 09/10/2013 20:34 || Comments || Link || [5 views] Top|| File under:

#1  it's only a 15 minute speech, so the chance of alcohol poisoning is slight. One shot for each square filled in. If you have to take tomorrow off - blame "Muscatel poisoning" - that'll fool them

#2  damn - try the link this way
Posted by: Frank G || 09/10/2013 20:37 Comments || Top||

#3  damn - one last try
Posted by: Frank G || 09/10/2013 20:38 Comments || Top||

#4  that works. How embarrassing. But at least I'm not making a national speech to try and avoid looking like a fool and chump amateur
Posted by: Frank G || 09/10/2013 20:45 Comments || Top||

#5  Frank - yer supposed to start drinking at the beginning of the speech, not before...
Posted by: Pappy || 09/10/2013 20:56 Comments || Top||

#6  damn
Posted by: Frank G || 09/10/2013 21:12 Comments || Top||

#7  Well, that was mercifully short. Good thing, too - we're totally out of box wine now.
Posted by: SteveS || 09/10/2013 21:15 Comments || Top||

#8  Well, what did the card do during the speech? I was writing a property boundary description, which was fun, compared to listening to O's speech.

#9  so... we don't do pin pricks, but our government is full of pricks

Lengthy Senate report details EPA FOIA abuses
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Environmental Protection Agency officials have from the beginning of President Obama's tenure in the Oval Office "pursued a path of obfuscation, operating in the shadows, and out of the sunlight," according to a Senate report.

The report by Republican members of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee provides a detailed description of violations of the Freedom of Information Act and other federal laws and regulations meant to encourage transparency and accountability in the government.

"The agency established an alias identity to hide the actions of the former administrator; has purposefully been unresponsive to FOIA request, oftentimes redacting information the public has a right to know; and mismanaged its electronic records system such that federal records have been jeopardized," the report said.

#1  I'll take it seriously when someone is sent to Prison - and not the 'Club-Fed' kind either but the same pound-me-in-the-ass prison *we* would face if we did the same thing.

Until then it's just theater.

#2  Shut it down and re-start it.
Posted by: Bright Pebbles || 09/10/2013 1:40 Comments || Top||

#3  Just EPA or all of it, BP?
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 09/10/2013 2:26 Comments || Top||

#4  Well The government (it's generally accepted) has a role in preventing/reparations for negative externalities.

So you need some kind of agency. I think cramming it with gaia worshippers and using it to cripple commerce is not a task for the state.

Where you gonna find somebody who understands ecology and economics and math to do such job?

#6  ..well, they found people in uniform who've never built a country before. Did a respectable job by the time it was handed over to the tribal kleptocracies. I'm sure their granddaddies were proud of their work. That whole academic credential thingy is indeed over rated.

Well, start by NOT looking in the EPA...
Posted by: Rob Crawford || 09/10/2013 9:38 Comments || Top||

#8  You can start by looking at the industries the EPA is regulating. Working with them and not against them.
Posted by: CrazyFool || 09/10/2013 10:30 Comments || Top||

#9  Anyone who can do maths....
Posted by: Bright Pebbles || 09/10/2013 10:41 Comments || Top||

#10  What does the EPA has to do with the Ecology or Environment?

Seriously.
