Speaker Boehner out maneuvered Rep. Kucinich (D-OH) this week in Congress.  The topic: Libya and the U.S. involvement in the NATO action.  Kucinich put forward H.Con.Res. 51 which invokes the withdrawal provision in the War Powers Resolution and pushes for the United States to withdraw from the NATO action.  I’m sure our allies in NATO would love that.  More rationally, Rep. Boehner put forward H. Res. 292 which mandates that the White House provide Congress with details of the Libya mission to include a cost estimate for the action and a justification for the United States’ involvement.  Uh oh.  Well, we know that the President and his democrat buddies in Congress aren’t too good at cost estimates with the lack of focus on addressing last year’s budget and the mess of a budget that Obama presented for 2012.  Boehner’s bill passed 268-145.

Where is the anti-war crowd now?  We are into the third month of United States involvement in NATO’s Libya operations – a mission that the NATO Secretary believes (courtesy of a Der Spiegel interview) has no military solution and requires a political one – when President Obama assured the nation that our involvement would be “days to weeks, not months”.  It must be ideology – clearly those supporters are ok with our 9.1% unemployment, a double dip housing crash looming, pork filled Stimulus bills, etc.

GorT

GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
