I love it...
To quote Kool-Aid guy: “Oooh Yeah!”
Defund the EPA, who are now making new rules for “greenhouse gas emissions”, etc., to accomplish the Global Warming/UN-appeasing handouts to 3rd world asshats for “damages”, to be funded by taking American Taxpayer wealth and re-distributing it globally, to the “needy”.
It was ten below zero last week. In November. I think we’re safe for now.
Another one bites the dust.
Meh.
Show us the “Repeal Healthcare Reform”, “Cut 400,000 Fedgov Jobs”, Deport All Illegal Aliens and Build The Wall”, and “Eliminate Federal Government Unions” committes and I’ll be impressed.

Now he needs to defund the EPA and Dept. of (no) Energy.
Shut them down.
Take no prisoners.

Boehner flying commercial and this?
Boehner just shot up a few points in my opinion of him.
The speakership is his to use ... or to abuse. He’s made a couple of good decisions already.
Ya hear that, Marv? Throw another penguin on the barbie. Time to party!
Well, that certainly won't help global warming.
Does anyone else find it amusing that this story comes to us via Hot Air Pundit?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
