for all the good they do.
I wonder if any of these repukes give any thoughts to how they're perceived by the public. My bet is they don't

I'd like to see them pay for their electric bill based upon horsepower used. Or buy their medication in grains. Or find a 2-qt. bottle of Coke. Or use base-12 for their money

"If you push something hard enough, it will fall over."

And then they can get to voting on Testicle's Deviant to Fudd's Law:
"It goes in, it must come out."

Gravity really is a law, Murphy is just a crock of crap and over referenced hype.

Commie Republican trolls are from firedoglake/Greenwald/Nader. And that should be Commie Firebagger trolls. (see, another thing went wrong - inside my head)

Thanks for taking that well. Murphy is sorta my pet peeve. "Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong"

Except there are millions of things that CAN go wrong, and most of the time they do NOT go wrong. If Murphy's law was really true, many, many more things would be going wrong all the time.

The press just chooses not to tell us about all of them, in case we all hide our heads in despair (instead of just the republicans doing that).

In any case Murphy's laws have exceptions just as any others do (but only if you have enough money or political clout to defend your exceptions).

what can go wrong?

My refrigerator could conk out.
Vandals could slash my tires overnight.
A tree could fall on my house
one of my dogs could puke on my bed
my computer could die
the power could go out
one of my many enemies could throw a brick through my front window

and so on, and so on. There are millions of things that CAN go wrong right now - but don't.

we take you now to an interview with Mitch McConnell from high atop the capital dome.
Senator McConnell sir, what will you be attempting to show us here today.
Well Steve, like global warming, gravity is just a hoax. Just some made up scheme to create more unnecessary regulations.
Ok Senator, this will surly prove that big government law should be repealed. I'll just get out of you're way.

Well here I goooooooooooooooArgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

O'Brien: The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.

Winston Smith: I love you.
