does this happen every time a president gives a speech to congress, or is it just because it's Obama? i never paid any attention to our former President's schedule.
Since 9/11, at least.
Because it's not just the president, but the entire Supreme Court, Congress, and the Cabinet minus one.
You know what I'm worried about? I'm not worried about a terrorist bombing. I'm not worried about some coordinated suicide attack. I'm worried about the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court rolling out of bed and into the fourth dimension. WTF are we going to do then? We've got no diplomatic relations with the fourth dimension. Hell, I can't even find that $h!t on a MAP, thank you National Geographic Society! And what kind of contingency plans do we have in the event of fourth dimensional first strike against all three branches of government? Can you imagine what would happen? Who the hell would raise our taxes? Bloat our deficit? Feed cheering crowds patronizing rhetoric? What are YOU doing to prepare yourselves for the day when you don't have a government to complain about? I highly suggest having lots of sex RIGHT NOW before it's TOO LATE! That's right, start banging eachother as if your life depended on it because there are no atheists in foxholes. Or foxes in atheist holes. Or something.
I won't feel safe until Homeland Security seals that whole perimeter in a twelve-story sphere made out of bulletproof plexiglass. Also, said sphere must be filled with water, plastic "snow," and play "The Night They Invented Champagne" when you wind it up.
monkey and over the river both said what i wanted to, but just couldn't find the right words. thanks guys.
Thanks IMGoph.
I think Monkey is on to something here. I mean, what if? Just because the guv-ment hasn't fallen in to The Forth Dimension® yet, doesn’t mean they can’t. I’ll bet you are asking yourself right now what could be worst. Lucky for you I’ll tell you; falling into the Fifth Dimension®. Imagine waking up in bed with Billy Davis, Jr., Florence LaRue, Marilyn McCoo, Lamonte McLemore, and Ron Townson. Let the Sunshine In-deed.
basically i cant leave my house.
Threw together a google map of the closing to make it a little more "visual."
Very nicely done Dan, thank you.
dan, you rock. before i even look at it, i know i'll be taking the train. but thanks!
next time, it'll reach a block further north, further south, and further east, until somehow we can reign in the securicrats.
