so um...how about that smaller federal government stuff?

remember when republicans wrote their "pledge to america", stating "we will stand committed to our principles and fight to renew the drive for a smaller... (federal) government". and then yesterday, republican leaders were all "the democrats need to stop wasting time on '...controversial items such as immigration, a repeal of "don't ask, don't tell...'". tmai.

well, they are getting down to some m-f-ing brass tacks; reducing the reach of the federal government and focusing on the real problems facing american families by insisting the smithsonian portrait gallery remove some gay video art. THANK PISS JESUS!

i will be the first and the loudest to say video art is the absolute worst. and gay video art? ...whhhhhell, if you're looking for the root of the economic recession, and sky-high unemployment, look no further than gay video art. any economist will tell you that as the presence of gay video art increases, short-term lines of credit sink like a weighted crucifix in a vat of artist piss. sorry, but those are the facts. deal with it.
