In other words, "You serve big time first, and then no hard-ons for you afterwards, Coover."
Anyway, having let off my steam about those yo-yos, let me now turn to all of Congress: a bunch of useless idiots.
Clearly, only part of the term useful idiots would apply to them; anyway, it would be hard to sell the term to Congress itself, much less the polarized media: the NY Times, the WaPo, Fox News, National Review, the New Republic, and others. But there is a way: why not call them tontos inútils (useless idiots)?
They might think that they are compared to the Lone Ranger's faithful companion, Tonto!
Incldentally, did Jay Silverheels, the actor who originally played Tonto, ever find out that Tonto meant "dumb" or "slow" in Spanish?
And our illegal immigrants (or undocumented workers; take your pick) would be laughing and our movers and shakers would not understand why!

It is poor grammar and word choice to use the words "useful" and "Cruz," "GOP," or "Tea Party" in the same sentence. Just sayin'.
If the opposite of Pro is Con, what is the opposite of Progress?
Interesting info about the name Tonto. I never knew that.
Oh I don't know. Seems they are serving their real masters very well- corporate profits are soaring. Not sold on the affordable care act? Folks I know got insuran$e rebates, free preventative care, insurance for their kids. Plus congressional budget office says its started bringing costs down. Of course we all miss preexisting conditions in children, lifetime caps on med insurance and keeping the job you hate just to keep your medical. Kinda appeals to me.....
Aloiha gal pal:-)
Aloiha? Ha!
A great idea for sentencing rapists. I'm all for it.
But what does kemo sabe mean?
OK, Heidi's comment got me looking at wikipedia.
Kemo Sabe translates as "trusty scout" or "faithful friend" in Potawatomi (Tonto's language).
Tonto translates as "wild one" in Potawatomi.
I tried to verify this in Google translate but it seems Google doesn't translate Potawatomi.
Mike, that's amazing information!
It's strictly the GOP that is at fault.
