define "irony"

Remember my post this past weekend about the Tea Party rally on the National Mall?  Well, it seems it didn't go as smoothly as Fox "News" would lead you to believe.  Texas Republican Kevin Brady was disappointed with the level of service of the public transportation system here in our nation's capital.  Here's the money quote:

“These individuals came all the way from Southeast Texas to protest the excessive spending and growing government intrusion by the 111th Congress and the new Obama administration.  These participants, whose tax dollars were used to create and maintain this public transit system, were frustrated and disappointed that our nation’s capital did not make a great effort to simply provide a basic level of transit for them."

I'd like to go on record stating that I agree with Texas Republican Kevin Brady.  We aren't doing enough in the DC to provide a basic level of public transit for everyone.  We could start by dedicating a revenue source for the Metro.

Why do you have this horrible spam?  Must be republicans.

Yeah, the comment spam is a fun new twist.

Alternatively, DC could extend one of the transit lines all the way to Southeast Texas.

Psst ...  fhrl ... hotrod isn't a woman.  Are you implying he wants to become one?

If these nitwits had any sense, they'd be DELIGHTED to see shortcomings in a public transit system. One, it would offer supposed vindication for their ceaseless moaning that all government programs are automatically bad; and two, it would give them the warm fuzzy feeling that insufficient funds were laid out for a public project.

What the hell are they doing on the Metro anyway? Wouldn't they rather be plowing their Hummers right onto the Mall?

I love how all the comment spam starts out with [this is good].  Thanks for the vote of confidence, spammer!

[this is good] I are not spamming.
