Ever heard of this...

Just got a flyer from American Express stating that if I charge the
$100 application fee for "Global Entry" (*) to my Platinum Card, they
will give me a $100 credit.

(*) "Global Entry is a U.S. government program that allows expedited
customs and immigration clearance at most U.S. airports for
pre-approved travelers returning from international travel."

Wonder if that applies to Tea Party Members or "Patriots" ?:-)

Also, in case you don't follow the news, the IRS broad, Lois Lerner,
is going to plead the Fifth in tomorrow's Congressional hearings.
Amazing how these filth take advantage of the Constitution when it's
to their advantage, but abuse it when coming after us mere citizens.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Hopefully the judge will hold all of them in contempt. Have you ever
met any tax collector type that wasn't full of contempt?

Yup. It's a real pain when those Democratic appointees act just like the
Republican ones.

Fast setting E-pox-y would be better...

Damn! I like your thinking. The obvious metaphorical reference to a
government who can't get anything done whilst mired in amber (little
poetic license there).

School children of the future could tour the old capital and see
politicians encased in resin of their own making.

Hmm... come to think of it you wouldn't need "fast" setting epoxy.

You do, if you don't want the look of surprise on their faces. ;-)
