Oh my sub...be prepared for the thread police any minute. It will start ever so subtly with a ‘link’ to the prior posting and then some snarky remark will follow.

Just wanted to give you a heads up.

Here’s an idea: Bring your own cups, morons.

I would strongly disagree with the premise that Styrofoam cups cause Democrats.

“I would strongly disagree with the premise that Styrofoam cups cause Democrats.”

Heh!

Agree, both are vile perturbations of nature and both should be destroyed promptly and thoroughly.

What do they ship Styrofoam in?

I read about this earlier today. What they should have done is stop the funding for “green” cups and silverware and let the DC Contractors figure it out for themselves.

It would have been a great exercise in the brilliant running of even the simplest function of DC Vendors/Union/B@llsh@t.

This way they only get media BS spin. Of course the fact that it ticks them off is entertaining to say the least.

Can they prove their recycled paper cups CAN’T cause cancer?

Looks like the Democrats are onto us. Launching plane “B”.

Meanwhile: The friggen world is going to hell in a handbasket while these fools fight over the really, really big problems..

Suggestion: Buy your own damn coffee cup.

A special prayer: Dear God, I know that you have had loads of fun with this, but your human experiment is just not working out. Please stop the insanity and consider bringing back the dinosaurs. Thanks....

I read this earlier, but didn’t comment, and thanks Sub-Driver for the opportunity to comment by posting this thread.

Notice the wording here in this quote from the article please:

“A group of Democrats complain Styrofoam cups in the House cafeteria could contain carcinogens.”

Notice the word “could”? Just like everything else the bastards on the Left complain of..., legislate against without any scientific proof whatsoever, without any real “consensus”, just bullshit they drive the topic of the day, and create laws, or cause a stand down for the sole purpose of getting their way so they can huff and puff with chest out, and give the appearance of doing something.

We the people have to take a stand against bullshit.

I’m SURE a lobbyist will be happy to provide these congresscritters with a “coffee cup” any time or any place.

Dear Rep. Blumenauer:

If you are concerned about long term exposure effects to your health from the styofoam products in the cafeteria, I suggest you could consider retirement or resignation. Problem solved, no more exposure.

VERY Sincerely,
Speaker Boehner

Well maybe they could minimize their exposure by planning shorter careers.

I think somebody should use Styrofoam products to make toilet paper used by the House.

The wait for 6 months before we make it public and watch them sweat... I’ll bet they won’t be able to sit still. LOL

Over time, exposure to the styrene that leaches into food and liquids can cause extensive health effects,...

Sheesh, how long are they leaving the coffee in the cup?

Maybe I should send a congressman a Chinese-made leaded-porciline coffee cup...
