Hill staffers, some of the more annoying people on the planet...

xsfiance works for a PAC and has contact with these types. xsteen's best friend is engaged to a guy who works in a Senate ofc. so xsteen has tangential contact with these people and it drives her insane. she can't stand this type.

xsteen always says THE HILL with exaggerated air quotes, LOL. xshub was a hill staffer back in the day, and that type was just as annoying 25 years ago.

Speaking of zerobamacare, it hasn't made a dint or a dent in covering the uninsured. It's a giant middle finger to the middle class.

I know, I am just saying it because it’s in Ed Klein’s book that she came up with the term.

Dude. Post 17.

That is some serious Man Work.

Doesn’t it amaze you sometimes how these weaklings and turds and martinets who run our lives have no freaking idea what or who makes their world go round?

And they think they do....

The Brits use “hoover” as a generic name for all vacuum cleaners.
