Disclaimer/Clarification

Concerning the item directly below: I've been walking around mumbling "I will slit your fucking throat" or a variation thereof sotto voce for several yrs. now; the "Monday Mantra" item was conceived, typed & scheduled last Saturday, & had nothing to do w/ this stuff, which appeared yesterday, Sun. 29 Oct., about an (allegedly) attempted throat-slitting by a Republican (Surprise!) Representative, who, by the fucking way, is still serving (another "surprise") as a Republican Member of Congress:

 Tim Alberta / Politico:

John Boehner Unchained  —  WEST CHESTER, Ohio—He swings the golf club like a right-hander, which he is, but putts as a southpaw.  Maybe it's a metaphor for a conservative politician who often turned to liberals in crunch time, but I'm too busy losing $20 on this hole to appreciate it.

The Hill link above gives us this nauseating item:

This isn’t the first time Young has been reported as brandishing a knife in the House; he reportedly pulled out a knife on the House floor in 1988 when a lawmaker introduced a bill that would have restricted logging in Alaska.

Let's hear it for the assholes of Alaska, who have elected this two-bit thug to be their at-large Congressional representative since 1973. That's 44 fucking yrs. Drain the swamp already, Alaskans!! (We can also ask why a state that hasn't enough population for more than one Congresscritter gets two fucking Senators.) I'd love to be alone in a room w/ this old bastard & a knife for 30 secs.: Let the punishment fit the crime!!
