My Proposed Compromise with Republicans

So all over Morning Jehosephat today the meme is compromise:  We give you a  Minimum Wage Hike for you passing the Keystone XL pipeline.

No, really.


"Along with Keystone, Republicans are interested in offering amendments blocking regulations on coal, and boosting liquid natural gas exports."

Coal, fracking and Keystone.  And we'll LET you give the working poor a raise?

My counterproposal:

We let you pretend you are sorta not against and kinda for the minimum wage hike because you stop blocking it.

That's it.  That's the compromise.

  2. Mm, NO. How about we grab you by the scruff and ass of your off-the-rack business drag costume and shove you with brutish force, face-first into the gutter of some squalid street full of the walking dead of what's left of the neglected poor, and invite them to extract the last ounce of evil from your rotting, soulless carcasses—

    Instead of. . . indicting every last one of you for treason and sedition, forcing you to spend every last cent of your personal net worth on unscrupulous lawyers, who, once you are penniless, will hire thugs to grab you by the scruff and ass of your off-the-rack business drag costume and shove you with brutish force, face-first into the gutter of some squalid street full of the walking dead of what's left of the neglected poor, and invite them to extract the last ounce of evil from your rotting, soulless carcasses, any way they see fit. . .

    Your choice.
