Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is floating legislation that would name
most U.S. coastal waters after former President Ronald Reagan.
Issa reintroduced his bill Wednesday to rename the country’s
Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which generally extends from three miles
to 200 miles offshore, as the Ronald Wilson Reagan Exclusive Economic
Zone.
Hmm, reminds me of a little something from back in 2003. . . .
I remember it like it was yesterday. . . .
Season 14, Episode 14:
Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington
Mr. Burns: Welcome, fellow Republicans. To start with the
old business, Brother Hibbert will read a report on our efforts to
rename everything after Ronald Reagan.
Dr. Hibbert: All Millard Fillmore schools are now Ronald Reagans, the Mississippi River is now the Mississippi Reagan...
Dracula: And my good friend Frankenstein is now Franken-reagan. Blah!
I don't know what is worse, that FOX thinks two little girls with a lemonade stand is somehow proving some sort of point, or that the little girls' parents are willing to trot them out on TV as right-wing stooges, repeating bs talking points that they don't really even understand. Or maybe the fact that their parents apparently think that it's just adorable for their little daughters to refer to them as "investors" and claim that their lemonade recipe is "proprietary." Yeah, that's the worst part. Oh, look honey. Our little darlings are already talking like little business school douchebags. Isn't that sweet?
If by "sweet" you mean "sad and creepy," then yeah. Totally sweet!
And I swear to God, no one has ever been worse at any job than Brian Kilmeade is at his.
Kilmeade began his segment with the Sutton sisters by playing a clip
of Obama saying that business owners "didn't build" their businesses. . .
"These two girls beg to differ," the Fox News host claimed. "They
built their lemonade business, not only without government help, but
without any help. . . Who helped you start this business?"
You can't say that they didn't have any help and then ask who helped? You just can't be that ridiculous. Except on FOX I guess.
"Clara, how do you feel about the president saying that you needed
help to start this business?" Kilmeade asked. "And just speak from
within." [Because, yeah, a 7-year-old totally understands what that means!]
"I would say that's rude because we worked very hard to build this business -- but we did have help," Clara insisted.
So. . . . it's rude to say that you needed help, but you did have help? I know you're just repeating what your idiot parents are telling you to say, but even if a 7-year-old doesn't see the gap in logic, Kilmeade is a fucking grown man. How does he not say, "oh, now I see why we shouldn't have 7-year-olds making our political points for us" and just throw to commercial?
Four-year-old Eliza added: "My brother does things he likes to do,
and he says, 'Car, car' every time. Every time he sees a car!"
You mean a car driving on a government-built road, pulling up to the government-built curb to buy some of your lemonade from the stand that your "investors" helped you build? My God, what rugged individualists!
