    Watching these bozo Republicans play chicken with our economy with every budget deal is like watching rehashed episodes jammed into “new” episodes of a worn out television show that should have been canceled years ago.

      Yeah, it’s gotten old about the first time they tried pulling this bullshit. Something has got to give soon, or we are fucked.
