Cliff, schmiff; when we stumble off the Fiscal CURB, we just might get run over by a stretch limo HumVee…

No matter how well-protected Obama is, in real life he’d get banged up as well by going over the waterfall.

Perhaps almost as badly as Boehner would.

Not concerned since the ‘fix’ will happen ‘at the last minute’.
Anything to take attention away from Christmas.
I believe it should be national law that atheists be required to work at their jobs on Christmas Day for straight wages.

Actually, before I retired from driving a semi, I would volunteer to stay out over Christmas, so a driver with a family could be at home on the holiday. Never really bothered me too much, since my parents are both gone, and my only relatives live several thousand miles away from me.
And no, I’m NOT an atheist, either.
Spent MANY a Christmas in a Truck Stop…

But wouldn’t that be unnecessary government intrusion into business? Oh, wait that would benefit the business owner and lower his/her cost of labor and abuse the common citizen so you’re all for it. I see how you reDUMBlicans are.

@Ms. Ima
Ah, just another regulation regarding how business is done. Those are bad right? Is this another example of “job killing regulation?”
Boy you CONservative neanderthals are really two-faced. Just antoher example of how double standards are the ONLY standards you reTHUGlicans have. When you don’t agree, no matter how much it protects the citizen it’s horrible and must be eliminated, but when it benefits the wealthy and powerful you think there must be a regulation demanding it. Taking rights away from the powerless, poor, the average citizen is a good thing to you if it helps the wealthy and powerful.
You (your strain of the republican infection) truly are the most disgusting of creatures.

I wonder why there is, among religious people, so much animosity toward atheists — who simply have different beliefs than do the religious people.

Because they’re afraid the Atheists might be right?

Hey Ima Idiot – just another Fox fool whining about Christmas. Why do you and Fox hate Christmas so much? Why don’t you go out and find a job and do something constructive for once?

Too funny how Toles depicts Crybaby Boehner being on top of this. The Crybaby is going to blink at the last second. It is so gratifying to see President Obama standing tall against the terrorists of the 1% moocher class of takers.
