#1 This assclown congress does this to us every time. In a 90 day requisition system, they know it hampers operations. Since the football is political, they kick it down the isle instead of handing it off. It is miserable to watch defense appropriations continually shift to fill the vacuum that our house appearantly believes is something to play with.

I have warned them many times before about this but with little or half assed action.

I must have spoke in the wrong language. Let me correct this now.

Hey Congress, you bitches an ho's, my peeps dere on da end of da gun gettin willi about no flo, you dig? No?
ya gots to unass dat shit so my homies can get back to rockin da desert wit yo appropriations. Otherwise, this shit is just crass, yo.

say right?

#3 The doom is in the factor that we have to even ASK for this.

I think it proper that congressmen and senators have to ask for toilet paper during the day, just to remind them that they may have forgotten something? Like OUR TROOPS LIVES.

Whadda ya say, GSA?
Ferris?
Anyone have a way to awaken this congress that this is the 7th time they have pulled this stunt and it really pisses me off?

To say you don't like war is one thing, but to make us lose one and then have to fight it losing more people and money is just - shall we say vietnam like?

Hey congress, WTF up.

#4 Good idea. No more toilet paper in the congressional building. they can use their left hand.

Fruits of the future.

#5 On the flip side, the Pentagon bureaucrats know the great secret: when threatened with cuts, cut the meat first, and leave the fat. This scares the pols so much that they give you back the money you need.

#6 Hey moose, your fat is my meat. Or perhaps your meat is my fat.

Just shut down a few shipbuilding and aircraft contracts. Insure that they involve the proper (blue) States.
