MICK MULVANEY, AT YOUR SERVICE
We’ve never had a problem with do-nothing Congresses (the less they do, the better as far as we’re concerned), but assuming you’re in search of some productivity from your lawmaker … have we got a story for you.
Pictured above is U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney, who decided to break out the snow plow for his neighbors in Indian Land, S.C. – a town near the North Carolina-South Carolina border that was hit with several inches of snow from Winter Storm Pax.
Good thing Mulvaney was Johnny on the spot, too … as there’s no telling when the Palmetto State’s competency-challenged Department of Transportation (SCDOT) would have gotten around to it …
One of the few bona fide pro-free market Republicans in Washington, D.C. – it looks as though Mulvaney is also one of the few lawmakers with a legitimate interest in helping the people he represents.
Props, Congressman …

FITS HATES government as an avowed Liberal-Tarian…
He sings the mantra of INDIVIDUALISM…..All the while B!*ching because the “Palmetto State’s competency-challenged Department of Transportation (SCDOT)” won’t come clear his drive, because he’s too lazy, or too stupid, to do it himself…
Any wonder he have Obama in the White House despite his total failure…
Liberal-Tarians HATE government, which is exactly why they support Obama’s big government policies, or something.
I swear, reading your posts has to do some form of brain damage.
Clue: I’m pointing out what they CLAIM versus what they DO…you Dumb@$$…
I swear, you people are so friggin used to getting marching orders from the DNC, that tell you EXACTLY how to Robot…You can’t handle anything not Spoon fed to your stupid @$$#$….
Well, Hell’s Bells! Looks like our Teahag gov just asked Obama for some more money today. Lol…
She’s stupid if she asked Obama. That worthless Son of a B!^ch has been a community organizer. He has not a D@*n cent, unless he took it from the American people…
You’re a F*#king Dumb@$$, too, to think Obama has anything, other a penchant for spending money other people EARN…
Well Queen Namrata asked and that is a fact so she must have proved your point
I sure hope Obama declares some type of executive shit to extend his term to 2020.
It would be worth it just to turds like you go apeshit.
BTW:
I’m drinking hot buttered rum & watching Curling on the Olympics. My trusty ol’ Kerosun Omni 85 (circa 1980) is putting out ~13,000 BTU’s and the generator is standing by here in Norhtern Spartanburg County!!!
About 2 inches of snow so far (not the 4-8 inches that the alarmists on Fox 21 (our local CONSERVATIVE TV channel) were predicting!!!!!
Where exactly is Norhtern – or have you been at the hot buttered rum all day?
Started around 6 PM last night. But it is mainly due to an old keyboard that has had its share of stuff spilled onto it (or my semi-arthritic fingers)
Thanks for catching the typo though…….
We are probably up to a world shaking amount of 4 inches here (~10 miles away from Glassy & Hogback Mountains)
Definitely not the “Day After Tomorrow” scenario played out by the local media that’s fer sure
We did have a no-shit blizzard around here back in ’87 or ’88. It shut down I-85 for a few days (the National Guard found a guy dead in his car = heart attack if I remember correctly) and we were without power or water for about a week. I think Campbell was gov at the time.
We got by then (took showers at work,brought drinking water in, had the trusty ‘ol Omni 85 {which you can cook on if you have to – it’s great for stews,soup,etc plus a Coleman camp stove} without the damn hype that is so prevalent now.
To take a line from a Hank Jr. song:
A MODERATE CAN SURVIVE!!!!!
Plus I’m a West by God Virginian by birth and upbringing – not some South Carolinian that freaks out at the sign of the first snowflake……….
Try Dragon Dictate
Everyone, please do not get GT started as he just obviously turned on the TV, read something on his phone, or heard it on the radio about Obama. He is like a dog with rabies and just bites anything. Watch out for the tires on your cars, he will be after those with his teeth in them next. Hates everyone, everything, and is a man without a country. Pathetic.
he has a TV.. or a phone.. or a radio???
We others, among the reasonably literate, cannot all be the ingenuous Berg, razor-edged and cutting from 1000 unpredictable angles, but we can tower above the munchkin dregs — Tango’s sidewalk-psychotic screechings, the simpleton struttings of the tea partiers…
We are better than them . . . we one and all . . . and they one and all.
Better as posters . . . better as people.
They . . . the GOPdopers and teabaggers –in, and indeed, verily of the sewer–have as their natural place a level far beneath us.
We don’t need no stinking Feds….until we need their money!
“Obama’s big spending is ruining this country!”
*the next day*
“Hey, uh, Obama… Spot me a few mil?”
..so how much did people on his route pony up for his time and gas?
It took forever to get rid of John Spratt and then they redrew the district lines and took me out of his district. A very good man it appears.
I wrote a letter to Spratt while I was in his district, imploring him not to vote for TARP as it set a dangerous precedent.
The response was a canned letter saying that though he was getting a large number of letters like mine that he was going to do it because he thought it was best for the economy.
Of course, his aides were hiding the fact his mind was turning to mush a la the end of Reagan’s second term, I had to find out personally when encountering him at a local county function and I realized that we had an utter imbecile in office that was being told what to do by his own aides. Democracy is wonderful.
He would always send you a response.
That was the kicker for me. Every time I wrote to Spratt, I got some response telling me why I was wrong and he was right. Some representation. That was the first time I was ever mobilized to try to vote someone OUT of office, and it may be the only reason I ever vote again.
Anyone would have been an improvement over Spratt.
You and I know this but so would Obama yet he is still there. Americans are uninformed and or or stupid.
Hey…I wonder if the Congressman used the money he got from that county council land deal for that foreign made tractor? Hey Will, how much did Mulvaney pay you for this write up?
Are you sure that tractor wasn’t made in Newberry?
Nope, but the headquarters in Japan.
Komatsu is made in Newberry, not Kubota.
There is a Kubota plant in Ga. I Think.
Two of them and on in Illinois.
All those Jap tractors look the same to me.
SC has a budget of about 21 billion—with a B– and our legislature only has control of about a third or 7 billion — the rest is from you guessed it the Feds !!! By the way Reagan tripled our debt so I say throw em all out and start over !!
oh, he’s a real PATRIOT, until it comes to using his money.
Buy imports, put an AMERICAN out of work!
Do you suspect Obama would use a tractor to plow out his neighbors? I doubt it…too busy spending tax payers’ monies on lavish vacations and parties…
Sanford might jump in his backhoe, but I’m not sure how helpful that’d be.
I blame Bush for setting the precedent.
Kubota US has been building tractors, including Representative Mulvaneys model, in the US since 1972.
manducare stercore, et mortuus est
If only Mulvaney were highly intoxicated, then he would be eligible for a DOT appointment by Haley, amirite?
He’d have to be a General first. Double dipping retirement is also a requirement.
One can never collect enough taxpayer checks.
Drinking to excess and double dipping the retirement systems – add excessive CORRUPTION and you’ve got our Chief Justice Jean Hoefer Toal!
Good thing someone took a picture! Would hate for this “good deed” to go unnoticed!
I’m disappointed he didn’t have on his tri-cornered hat.
Got a Kubota BX-2300 myself………….
Sans front-end loader & rear scraper…………….
That makes you “un American”. You should have spent more for an American product.
After those super bowl ads, I will not buy another Buick. For that matter, no GM product.
..besides, buying GM supports unions.. better to buy from other countries that don’t have unions or run ads during the Superbowl.
Obviously you are not aware that there is not a single subcompact (Like my Kubota BX-2300) or a compact tractor (i.e., the Kubota pictured) MADE in the USA.
They are usually assembled in the US but not MADE in the USA. Alll the major components are made in Japan or somewhere else in Asia
Not John Deere,Ford, Massey Ferguson, Cub Cadet,etc.
Only the big agricultural shit is made in the USA (big John Deere’s,etc.)
Wish that was not the case but that is how it goes
You can now go back to jerking off to the right-wingnut flavor of the day
That was SUPPOSED to be a reply to “no free market here”
Arthritic fingers & hot-buttered rum hangover are to blame!!!!!
I thought it was pretty funny that you were telling yourself to go jerk off. But then, it’s clear you have no sense of humor.
don’t let it worry you none, skeeter – we’re all fambily here!
The question is:
Was he buying untaxed agricultural diesel or the taxed stuff??????
Key words:
“he buying”.
So Nikki wants SC declared a “Disaster area” to get some federal money.
I cant believe it!
We should be able to handle this ourselves.Whatever happened to “self reliance?”
lol.
I cant believe it!
You must be new here.
It’s not FEDERAL money or Obama’s money. It’s OUR money you ignorant F*#k…We (Earners) PAID it in, to a fund to be used in an Emergency. The federal gov’t ain’t done a D@*n thing, but hold a tank on us, to extort it through a corrupt, Obama IRS…
It’s Obama’s fault the US has to borrow it from China to give back to us…
You Ignorant liberals are So F*#king stupid, I wonder if the DNC has to remind you to breathe….to keep you from dying…
You do know that SC is a “taker” state? I.E. we take more from the Feds than we pay out? Guess that doesn’t fit in with your tea bagger bullshit.
South Carolinians are Americans, you Communist Piece of S#!…if you’re an American, and it’s American taxpayer money, there is no such thing as a TAKER state. We’re part of the UNITED States……
Unless you’re talking about the lazy-@$$ democrat REVENGE voters, who sit on their @$$#$ and don’t contribute, but line up in droves for Obamcare, food stamps, Medicaid, free housing and a welfare check…
Now stuff that up your liberal cliché Talking Points @$$, you insufferable Dumb@$$….
YOU don’t earn enough to pay income taxes, Nitwit.
Don’t give up Tango! I kept it up until I became hip, slick, cool and finally – sick. Yeah, I got addicted… sure, I lied and cheated and stole.. I abused those that loved me, and wasted every opportunity to do something good with selfish indulgences… but I never gave up on the dream. And look at where I am today! I’m so cool now that Rogue comes over to my house wearing her red and black fishnet stockings and fuck-me pumps and stands around just to give the place additional ambiance! Berg likes to sit in the other recliner and pretend to peruse my first edition Jenseits von Gut und Böse: Vorspiel einer Philosophie der Zukunft… making small talk about shit that never happened so that we can chuckle mysteriously in impenetrable mock-shared experience.
Soon, you will be a recognized celebrity, and everywhere you go, people will give you high fives, and giggle when you say Dumb@$$.
Still trapped at home by the ice and snow are ya’, Max?
Nah.. the wife went to Missouri.. her mom took a turn for the worse.
Best wishes for her recovery…..
uh.. not gonna happen. She stopped eating and drinking… and she’s DNR, so…
but.. I’ll try to think happy thoughts… Republicans burning in hell… tea partiers locked in tonic seizures trying to get their minds around negative numbers…
Someone finding Damned Tango, and bringing him back home…
Max, your comment about GrandTango did bring to mind the incident in 1988 of the BLOOM PICAYUNE (All the tales too ticklish to tell) when this announcement was published —
“We no longer feature a “Letters to the Editor” section. We felt it was high time to drop the pretense of looking as though we respect the thoughts of the grunting gaggle of inarticulate orangutans which call themselves “the public”. It’s also high time other
newspaper editors came clean too.
If you feel you simply have to express yourselves, spray-paint it on the side of a boxcar or a nice building as usual. Just remember, “I” comes before “e” except after “c” and “Casablanca” isn’t a country, you TV brain-mushed ambulatory vacuum tubes.”
grunting gaggle of inarticulate orangutans

The over-the-head-hands ambulance seems apropos somehow.
Be nice and try to state your opinions reasonably and rationally without the vulgarity. They’re called comments, not tirades.
You are obviously a Socialist!
What say ye comrade?
Sounds like he’s in favor of them gummit machines [chucka chucka chucka] that keep printin’ them greenbacks like they was flyers for a Republican convention!
If you’re too F*#kin ignorant, like most all the other liberals on here, to explain yourself…you will be put in the class of Dumb@$$, DNC-Obama drones with them…
You people start from a premise for the dumbed-down, that accepts the lame and non-challenged clichés that are fed to you by the media, and arrogant leftwing political handlers…
I’ve found that when you’re challenged, 90% of you have NOTHING to offer, except weak attempts to throw back my words to me, as if you had the same intelligence to create them yourself…
Other than tired and commonn insults, and the weak-minded, rambling thoughts of FITS, you are vapid and disgusting…

Just an FYI the type of declaration that was declared does not allow for funding, rather man power and equipment provided by either mutual aid from surrounding states, or FEMA.
Bottom line?
Federal money is involved and we are AGAINST it,
Stand on your own two feet!
I agree but many if the counties that need the assistance don’t have the resources. They have exceeded their capabilities.
Mulvaney is using our federal tax money to clear that road!
Another DAMN disgrace!
In the name of all thats Holy,what is happening to South Carolina.
Federal money?
No no no no!
A thousand times,NO!
Y’all ought to focus on cotton.
NEWS FLASH!
Union linemen from “up north” are restoring the power in North Augusta area.
I thought NIMRATA vowed NO UNION in South Carolina!
A DAMN disgrace!
Some of Indiana’s FINEST UNION linemen are doing an outstanding job restoring service in North Augusta!
IBEW-UNION-YES!
Damned Union thugs!
Well, I couldn’t see their broken noses and bruised knuckles from all that cold weather gear they were wearing 60 feet in the air.
But , I did those GLORIOUS IBEW stickers on their hats and trucks!
LIVE BETTER!
WORK ( and retire) UNION!
Just because workers get better pay and better benefits, and are proud of the work they do.. is no excuse to allow collective bargaining!
Haven’t the rich suffered enough?
Surely.
You sure as hell won’t see Tom Rice doing this.
Wow…Buz, you tell him Bo. With a campaign strategy that sharp, you’re bound to attract a following of millions. Nothing can stop a smart feller like you.
Tom Rice is all about Tom Rice. To hell with his district.
A Letter from Comcast and Time Warner Cable
Dear subscribers,
Today, it was announced that Comcast is joining forces with Time Warner Cable in a friendly acquisition worth $45 billion. As we could have expected, many people are wondering what this transaction will mean to the service that you, our subscribers, will enjoy.
We know that all of your comments, however mean-spirited some of them may have been, have come from a good place: genuine concern about what this merger will mean for your future cable service. At Comcast/Time Warner, we care deeply about those concerns, and, to help allay them, here are some answers to the Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.s) we have received since the merger was announced.
Q: How will the merger affect the price of my cable service?
A: There is no clear answer to that. But we will be introducing financing options, roughly similar to those that enabled you to attend college.
Q: Will there be any adverse impact on customer service?
A: A technician will be at your home between the hours of eight and never.
Q: How frequently will you turn off the Internet, and are you going to deliberately crush Netflix by making it impossible to stream its movies?
A: Often and probably.
Q: I am a current Time Warner subscriber. Who will be handling customer complaints, Comcast or Time Warner?
A: Please address all complaints to Comcast/Time Warner Customer Service, 666 Noonethere Lane, Abysstown, U.S.A.
Q: I have been on hold for the past hour, and no one seems to be picking up. How long can I expect to wait?
A: Due to concern about the merger, we are experiencing longer-than-expected wait times. In the meantime, eat me.
Sincerely,
Comcast/Time Warner Cable
All I wanna know is.. will I have to reprogram my remote for the adult channels *again*?
…oh, and I heard verizon was going to fuck you up!
Is that Mulvaney’s trailer? Is this on a public road or a private drive? This is nothing more than a photo op sent out by Mulvaneys Thugs for Fits. I for one are proud of our DOT folks that worked more hours than any of us this week.
Can anyone picture Obama, Pelosi, Reid, or Schumer doing something like this???
what a pretender
