Newt Gingrich Fails Even To Get .Com Address For 'ObamaFailures.net'
Gypsy grifter Newt Gingrich is not done having Big Ideas, like his latest, putting up a MEAN website about one President Disgraceful, in which Ol' Bamz over there looks down with sadness on his miserable failure of a presidency. Like this nifty chart (pictured!), which shows how once, for about a week, gas, like freedom, cost a buck oh five, mostly because nobody was driving to work at their factory jobs because they had no jobs and no factories. And now that gas is the same as it pretty much has been (excepting that one flukey height-of-the-recession week), Newton is explaining to everybody that blahblahblah nobody cares it is all childish make-believe nonsense. ALGAE! NOM NOM NOM!
Anyhoo, Newton had to get his embarrassing ".net" website because he could not get ObamaFailures.com because it is already registered to this guy, and he must have known about Newt's problems with check-kiting and must have asked Newt for cash up front before he would sign it over. (The obamafailures.com is blank, by the way.) If Newt Gingrich would just legally change his name to "Obama Failures," he would have a pretty good case to bring for cybersquatting.

Bah. My first attempt at a reply must've included a word on the censor's list of doom. Pretty sure I mentioned no part of the firing mechanism of a gun, so I have no idea what it was.
Anyway... Congress can pass a budget but fail to pass appropriations bills, which would force a shutdown. Conversely, Congress can fail to pass a budget resolution but continue appropriating within limits laid out in the last budget that did pass, which will not force a shutdown - this is what&#039;s been happening during the infamous 1,000-something days of lame talking points. While the Senate hasn&#039;t passed a budget resolution since 2010, it <em>did</em> pass the Budget Control Act of 2011, which does everything a budget would do, except any attempt by Congress to override it would face the President&#039;s veto power, which a normal budget wouldn&#039;t. So, there&#039;s that.
<a href="http:\/\/assets.opencrs.com\/rpts\/RL30297_20110404.pdf" target="_blank">According to the Congressional Research Service</a>, in both 2009 and 2010, the Senate-originated budget resolution and its House companion measure passed both chambers. So that&#039;s four budget resolutions that have been passed while Obama&#039;s President, plus the Budget Control Act. That means that Newt is telling wholesale, easily and objectively provable lies. Because he&#039;s a big fat liar.
PS. I think I worked out what my naughty word was: the compound of &quot;out&quot; and the opposite of left. Silly censor.
He will go away (for a while) after Tampa, right?
