"Let's kick the can again," says Mitch.

US. Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday the Senate would vote on a stop-gap government funding bill this week that aimed at averting a shutdown of federal agencies at the Oct. 1 start of the new fiscal year.

The measure would fund government agencies through Dec. 11, congressional aides said. Senate Republicans initially will seek to pass a version of the spending bill that cuts off all federal funds to Planned Parenthood, a non-profit women’s healthcare group now embroiled in an abortion controversy.

Way to act like a grown up, Mitch. Perhaps you can do better and just pass the budget and get on to Immigration Reform?

Another F*cking Government Shutdown? Seriously?

Pope Frank was in town to basically tell Congress to get its shit together. In response, Congress is flinging poo in every direction but “together,” because it is full of insolent assclowns and juvenile numbnuts. With government funding running out at midnight on Sept. 30, we’ll use a metaphor that the Pope would probably frown upon: We’re f’ed in the A. Let’s wonksplain.

If Congresscritters actually did their jobs, they would pass 12 separate funding bills, each funding a discreet part of the gub-mint (like Defense, Transportation, HHS, etc.). But work is hard and we elected a bunch of Tea Party jagoffs with the combined IQ of week-old Santorum. So rather than pass separate bills, Congress lumps all of government spending into one bill, called an omnibus. And this time, Congress isn’t even doing that!

In 2013, the government was shut down because the GOP didn’t want poor people to have health care. They failed. Now they are threatening to shut down the government so that women can’t have health care. With their intense desire to see people sick and diseased, “pro-life” quickly boils down to sanctimonious hypocrisy and pathetic pandering.

If this isn’t enough to get liberals to vote in 2016, then we’re definitely f’ed in the A.

Thing were going so well, then the House lost it's Boener
