"Barack Obama", real name Sir Nigel Pinkingshire III, was trained from birth by the British Crown to help BP cause an oil spill in the gulf so as to weaken the states and strengthen her majesty's empire with the intention of reclaiming the thirteen original colonies. It all makes sense. No, no, no, he's Barry Soetoro.

"I say, Cecil, old bean, have you taken a gander at the ocean lately?"
"That I have, Nigel. That I have. It's looking rather clean, as it were."
"Mmm, quite. This simply won't do. Another oil spill, then?"
"Right-o, chaps, an oil spill it is. Pip pip, jolly good -- shall we celebrate with tea and crumpets?"

That is the most bizarrely plausible theory I've heard in a while.

Here's protest sign that I took while observing a rally in Lower Manhattan, over that whole "mosque at Ground Zero" thing. No wonder these people are crazy. Hello, I'm Avis Liberum, or "Free Bird" in Latin.

Luckily we have these things called representatives. Also, stop using your children as props, scumbags.

The thing that I keep noticing about the tea party protests is the laziness of the people attending the events. None of the protests I've been a part of have had anywhere near as many people sitting around in lawn chairs. Maybe a couple people here or there, but no where near as many as there are at these tax protests. I don't know if it's a liberal vs conservative thing or just a tea party thing, but holy hell are these people lazy.

I have no clue what this man was smoking. Oh, I get it. He's free-associating.

Lubricant is used in fornication. Obama is fornicating America in its heiny. Cui Bono, Mr. Obama (if that's your real name)?"

It takes a lot of energy to come up with stupid, inaccurate, boring, cliched signs. Then they have to ride the tractor down to the protest, where they might spend literally an hour standing there being outraged in non-specific, indefensible ways that they wouldn't have even thought about if they weren't subject to the emotional manipulation and hollow sophistry of a handful of self-absorbed tools even more cretinous than those they control. Then they have to pack up and ride the tractor home where they can watch their tapes of old Nascar races, scanning them carefully for the presence of naked breasts to fap to and be publically enraged about. It's all exhausting. They deserve a good sit-down.

Besides, D.C residents do have representation, after all, they vote for the president and I'm sure they vote for local positions, even if it is a valid complaint that they have lesser due to no representation in the house or senate.

That isn't QUITE true. They do have a non-voting Representative to represent their interests. However, she is non-voting, which makes it difficult for her to actually do much.

Is there any particular reason why they don't have the same representation as other districts? I'm not too familiar with all of the intricacies of the US gov. system, so forgive my ignorance.
