Who said it?

John "Cut and Run" Murtha, who supports our troops like an arsonist support firefighers, said the...

"surge is working."

That's gotta completely piss off the Fiberal Dummycrats and the scientific community is united in that fact.

So who's next?

Step right up and don't be shy, I'm sure there's an angle to CYA!

Hell, if Murtha can move from the surge...

"is not working" and the United States faced a military disaster in Iraq.

and

"I don't acknowledge there has been any progress made..."

It's time for you to surrender to reality!

Faint

Just like at a campaign appearance in 2008, President Obama utilized his medical expertise to diagnose treatment for the infirmed.

According to CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller, Obama told supporters there were "paralegals" available to help those who felt weak from the heat.

"Catching his mistake," Knoller tweeted, Obama corrected himself and told the crowd, "you don't need lawyers."

With Obamacare being implemented, it's probably a good idea to get an attorney to CYA and the scientific community is united in that fact.

They probably fainted because of their asthma and just needed a breathalyzer.

Conduct Unbecoming?

The Dummycrats in the House have released their acceptable and unacceptable guidelines for insults that can be used against the executive branch.

It will be unacceptable to charge that the President has been “intellectually dishonest”.

In some cases that could be considered an oxymoron and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Also deemed unacceptable is referring to alleged “sexual misconduct on the President’s part.”

Members may want to refrain from mentioning Presidents Bush, Johnson, Harding, Pierce and especially Clinton.

In a related development, Barney Frank voted "present" in the House's rebuke of Representative Joe Wilson.

Frank's reasoning, "I think it's bad precedent to put us in charge of deciding whether people act like jerks..."

That's because he frankly didn't want to come across as intellectually dishonest and he was performing CYA.

Culver's CYA

Ever the politican, The Big Lug Nut covered his "doable" (urp!) tush with a planned veto of his pay raise.

At first Culver wanted the cash, but he was contacted by a lot of Iowans who thought it was money for nothing.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

The Big Lug Nut ticked off his core by saying he'll veto a collective bargaining bill that caters to labor.

Where are they going to go, with Ed Fallon in his next run for Governor? (HA!)

Sandbagged

I just returned from helping sandbag my Mother's house.

Yesterday and today was spent packing up belongings and moving some out, also we tried to get them higher in her home.

The crest of the Des Moines River is expected between 8 p.m. and Midnight.

I think the big problem will not come from the River topping the levee, but the levee itself getting so saturated that it will breach.

I noticed a real brain sturgeon, and the scientific community is united in that fact, hosing down his driveway in the Union Park area.

Because he's not in a directly affected area, he didn't care that he was taxing an already overtaxed storm sewer system.

I heard Dummycrat Representative Wayne Ford try to blame the media for his finger pointing.

Here's what was in the Ragister...

officials have not been responsive enough since the 1993 floods — and help is coming too slowly now. He said there aren’t enough sandbags to protect homes and businesses in the area and he worries about flooding at North High School, directly across Second Avenue from the area being evacuated.

"...If we can protect Sec Taylor stadium, we should also be able to protect North High School.”

If they misquoted you, say so.

He's been in the Iowa House since 1997 and hasn't done anything to press the issue until now, during a natural catastrophe.

The reality is he was caught not being a team player and he's performing CYA.

Poor Wages

This is the third time this week the Liter has had to lay into Iowa's Junior Senator, CommieTommie Harkin.

What are we going to write about when he retires?

I have no doubt some Dummycrat will fuel the fodder and the scientific community is united in that fact. 

CommieTommie's latest crusade is increasing the federal minimum wage, by 40%, to over $10 an hour.

If passed, the bill would also automatically raise the minimum wage each year to reflect changes in the cost of living.

It appears to be a CYA move by Dummycrats --

Democratic senators weighed the plan after being deluged with letters and calls from constituents complaining that Obamacare has cost them their chosen health care plans and required hefty premium and deductible increases, in some cases doubling, tripling or quadrupling health insurance costs.

More economic recovery from the same folks who brought you Obamacare, this can only turn out terrific.

CommieTommie, who chairs the committee that deals with labor issues, told CNN that he acknowledges there are "a few" Democrats who have "legitimate concerns" about the increase. He declined to specify what they were.

Republicans will have concerns too, but it will be hard for Harkin to acknowledge those as being "legitimate".
