You big baby--it's MA, there aren't any locusts out in early March in all that snow!!!!

But the fuel lines in all the planes at Logan Airport froze and the planes are falling out of the sky.  But again, it's only liberals who are dying in fiery balls screaming like little bitches, so it's all good.

Uh you mean you guys aren't in the bunker?  What's it like out there?  

Locust?  I can handle anything but locust.  Give it to me straight.

Charles Krauthammer said that when he looked outside, he didn't see any locust, frogs or pestilence but that's in DC.

So the country is going in the crapper but the Twinki Bakers union gets money from Obama ??????


Quote
  The Bakers and Confectioners Union have applied to the government through the Trade Adjustment Assistance program and gotten many millions of dollars of taxpayers’ money to pay the union members to sit around on their backsides for up to two years and collect a check when it could have been avoided by working with the company.

I heard about that yesterday.  What a crock!  Drive your company out of business, draw unemployment and federal funds for retraining.  Their jobs weren't lost due to anything with trade, just their own f**king greed and stupidity.

The sequester "disappeared" a bunch of hospital employees.  We have been waiting an hour and a half for a blood test that usually takes 15 minutes!  The worst part is that the other employees don't seem to notice that anyone is missing.  I think they are pod people.

Went from a high of 55 to a high of 85 from 24 hours.  Is it global warming, or sequester?  Hard to tell. I am scared.

It's both.  Now that sequester is in effect, government is unable to keep global warming in check by selling carbon credits to those who need to pollute.

Rush was talking today about the Washington Post's lame attempt at a horror story.  A tiny Kansas airport has lost its two air traffic controllers.  Drilling down into the article, we learn that the airport has two flights a day, the controllers are never there anyway, and the pilots just manage their puddle-jumpers on their own.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. airports, including Los Angeles International and O'Hare International in Chicago, are already experiencing delays in customs waiting lines as a result of automatic federal spending cuts, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Monday.

Quote
Ms Napolitano said today that major airports were seeing lines "150 to 200 per cent as long as we would normally expect" as result of the federal spending cuts that went into force on Friday.
"We're already seeing the effects at some of the ports of entry, the big airports, for example. Some of them had very long lines this weekend," she told a breakfast event organised by Politico.
When pressed for specifics she cited Chicago's O'Hare, Atlanta's Hartfield-Jackson and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), adding: "I don't mean to scare, I mean to inform."
However, when contacted by The Daily Telegraph, spokespeople for both O'Hare and LAX, as well as representatives from the travel industry, denied that airports had been hit by delays.
"We haven't had any slowdowns at all," said Marshall Lowe, a spokesman for LAX. Mr Lowe said that he had been on duty over the weekend and received no reports of unusual security delays.

Of course the KneePad media won't call her on this bullshit.
