Why don't you take your excellent example of why I will never vote Republican again and see if this works with your wife? I'm sure she would appreciate this as well. Of course, by now your wife won't allow you within 10 feet of her. Then you can continue your sob story about how she is a prude who won't give you what you want.

WOMAN OF COLOR NOT PLEASED WITH ADMINISTRATION: Nikki Haley slams Washington after meeting with Obama.
During President Barack Obama’s meeting with U.S. governors at the White House Monday, the president dismissed members of the press to hold a private, hourlong discussion with the visiting state executives. Whatever was said after the cameras left the room especially incensed South Carolina Republican Gov. Nikki Haley. . . .
“I could not be more frustrated than I am right now,” Haley told reporters after the meeting. She said that when she asked Obama if he would consider a last-minute plan to shave about 2 percent from the annual federal budget without increasing taxes, the answer was “no.”
“My kids could go and find $83 billion out of a $4 trillion budget,” Haley said. “This is not rocket science.”
Nope. It’s tax-borrow-and-spend cronyism.

Finally: Food Stamps For Pets…
Food stamps for Fido.
Via Daily Caller:
The number of people in America on Food Stamps remains at an all-time high, and now a new program is allowing Fido, Garfield and their peers to get in on the goods.
While the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a federal program administered by the states, Pet Food Stamps is a New York-based nonprofit that helps pet owners who can’t afford to support their animal friends.
“The Pet Food Stamps program … has been created to fill the void in the United States Food Stamp program which excludes the purchase of pet food and pet supplies. In these rough economic times, many pet owners are forced to abandon their beloved pet to the ASPCA, North Shore Animal League or other animal shelters due to the inability to pay for their basic food supply and care,” the organization’s website explains.
KRQE-TV13 in Albuquerque, N.M. reports that founder Marc Okon launched the organization two weeks ago, already attracting more than 12,000 requests for assistance.
Okon explained to KVIA-TV7 in Las Cruces, N.M. that he created the program to help those in need feed their pets.

Let Them Eat Cake? Government Destroys 1,600 Pounds of Deer Meat for Homeless Just Because
Hunters and homeless people in Louisiana are righteously outraged after state health officials forced a homeless shelter to throw out nearly a ton of perfectly good venison.
The meat that had been donated to the Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission could have fed more than 3,000 people. Instead, it was tossed in trash bins by officials from the Department of Health and Hospitals who say that state law prohibits the serving of venison in homeless shelters.
Not only did the officials toss the meat, they doused it with Clorox to make sure it couldn’t be eaten by animals or, presumably, people.
“Deer meat is not permitted to be served in a shelter, restaurant or any other public eating establishment in Louisiana,” an official told Fox News in an email. “While we applaud the good intentions of the hunters who donated this meat, we must protect the people who eat at the Rescue Mission, and we cannot allow a potentially serious health threat to endanger the public.”
Richard Campbell, co-founder of Hunters for the Hungry, a charitable group that donates wild game to shelters, said hunters across the state and in Mississippi are outraged about the statement and the waste.
The state’s health Gestapo got involved after someone at the shelter complained about being fed deer meat, a staple in many countries across the globe and considered by most people to be a treat or a delicacy.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Louisiana, but in California, turning down venison would be like turning down a lobster tail with drawn butter — it’s something that sane people who aren’t vegetarians just wouldn’t do.
The director of the mission said they’ve been serving venison for years. The shelter, by the way, doesn’t take any government money. It’s completely self-sufficient thanks to its donors.

Louisiana has a Republican supermajority in its House and Senate and Republican Governot Bobby Jindal. But you're going to blame liberals for the content of Louisiana state laws anyway.
Wow. Just wow. That's a whole fucking lot of facts to filter out, even for you.

We were told to conserve and buy high mileage/hybrid cars. We did (well, they did, I don't use very much gas) now there's no money to fix the roads so we (they) get a tree-hugger tax

Sometimes you see the dirty bikers circling the Whitehouse in support of the POWs. Sometimes you see tree-huggers in Prius's circling it because they don't want to be taxed.
See... told you life is funny sometimes.
