This may be a serious piece. Mr. Robinson knows something about being a clown.

I believe it is the #1 clown who loves these battles, the ones where he destroys the opposition. Improving the fiscal health of the nation is nowhere near what the head clown wants to accomplish.

I almost thought that Eugene was being reasonable, until he brought up the 60 billion relief bill as if it is "relief". If he knows that the fiscal cliff bill was stuffed with pork, then he must know that the Sandy bill is just as bloated with nonsense.

Joe Biden is the HEAD CLOWN. What he did yesterday can ONLY be described as sexual harrassment. The Obama administration is the Circus.

When an uber socialist recognizes that we have already run out of other people´s money, you know that we are in deep trouble. Robinson is correct that we have to do something about the explosion in welfare (called entitlements as if goobernment can assign who gets entitled to take other people´s money) giveaways. As popular as Socialist Security and Mediscare are, they cannot be sustained for much longer. Popular doesn’t trump reality and the reality is we can’t afford to take other people’s money to give to people that happen to live a long time . Same is true for welfare, food stamps, Mediscare drug plans, unemployment and Obambicare. Sooner or later, this Ponzi scheme will collapse and it will make the Great Depression look like the Clinton boom years.

Those around when Johnson introduced his "Great Society" should have been forewarned when welfare was re-named ´entitlements.´ That word says so much.

"Congress",,,, USLESS TWITS>>>

robinson, like 0bama, is an affirmative action beneficiary. how else could he have gotten his position

Todays "fiscal cliff" is yesterdays "lock box". Both inane.

Eugene "Pulitzer Prize Winning" Robinson is at it again.

Eugene Robinson provides a shining beacon of hope for those fearing that they might just be too stupid to write for a newspaper.

The real clowns are the voters that continue to put these boobs into office! Lets face it people, at the end of the day, idiots like Frank, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer and Emmanuel are freely elected into office and re- elected time and time again after they have proven themselves to be incompetent at best and an enemy of the People at worst! We, the People are at fault here for setting performance standards for our politicians so low and allowing them to become our ruling elete!

Out in the real world, shareholders (voters) would stand up at the annual shareholders meeting (polling place) and oust the board of directors (Congress). But then, in the real world, every shareholder has skin in the game, and is intelligent enough to know how to read his stockholders annual report. You don’t find many Honey Boo Boo’s at shareholder meetings.

Never let a perfectly good "Clown Thread" go to waste...

Two cannibals were eating a clown.
One of them said...
