I keep hearing things about service industry workers. No, no, that doesn't sound right. I think you mean independent contractor? See, workers have regulations and labor protections in some states, we can't have that now, be careful with your verbiage.

Stereotype posted:“It’s like interviewing a maid for a job and she says, ‘I don’t clean windows, I don’t do floors, I don’t do beds, these are the hours I’ll work.’ It’s rubbing a lot of people the wrong way,” Rep. Matt Salmon (R-Ariz.), a co-founder of the Freedom Caucus, told The Hill.[The Hill, 10/21/15] I loving hate Matt Salmon so much. He's one of the biggest far right loony shills in our state (a big accomplishment) and I thank God that Napolitano, mediocre governor though she was, beat his rear end.

Matt Salmon is a bad man who also reminds me of a delicious fish and then makes me angry when I don't have fish.

In the meantime, stock up on water, dehydrated food, and those little gas canisters for your portable stove. (you do have one, right?) I'm pretty sure those creepy Mormon survival prepper sites sell that stuff.

Ryan as speaker is great, it means he's off W&M and is going to be the new bitch for the HFC, but he's still at least not loving absurd enough to destroy the government.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nWs3KVNW2s Here's 11 minutes of purestrain gold. For fun, only watch the expression of the candidate who isn't talking. Biden looks around, grins, laughs, attempts to interrupt because he could go on talking for hours. Ryan looks nervous, annoyed, bothered that he has to be here doing this, frustrated...

I would like to propose a constitutional amendment declaring Joe Biden Eternal Vice President, naming him Vice President in perpetuity. In the unfortunate event of his retirement or death, all future 'acting' Vice Presidents will hold the title of Supreme Vice President.

Yeah the VP debate was hilariously satisfying because unlike 2008 when Biden put the kid gloves on, the Obama campaign had no qualms about embarassing Paul Ryan. Remember when Obama invited Ryan to sit front and center at the WH for a spending/budget thing, and then spent the entire hour ruthlessly mocking him? I do. -- Also as we prepare for Hillary eating Trey Gowdy alive, Newsweek (of all places) has one of the most comprehensive looks at this shameful debacle: http://www.newsweek.com/benghazi-biopsy-comprehensive-guide-one-americas-worst-political-outrages-385853

Ryan says he will hold the line on the Hassert Rule, but no one actually believes that, which means he's setting himself up for failure the first time we have to raise the debt limit or pass a budget. But Boehner is hoping he can clear the deck on both of those issues so that Ryan doesn't have too -- it remains to be seen if that will happen or not.

That Rubio 13 concerns me. I hope Trump starts focusing on destroying him because he is the only general election candidate I'd be particularly concerned about. He's handsome, young, keeps his cool, and doesn't generally say anything that pisses moderates off even though he has all the same lovely positions as the rest of his party.
