   She must’ve received a C- in that particular leftist course.

   So Wesley Snipes and Willie Nelson weren’t punished for not paying taxes. They’re “incentivized” to pay taxes.

   HMMMMMM. Maybe I can tell my children that I’m not spanking them for being bad. They’re “incentivized” to be good.

    Sheila Jackson Lee ties in very nicely with the Bert and Elmo, aardvarks and such piece. If can can get PBS de-funded will she go away too? Yes Sheila Jackson Lee makes me laugh and then I cry for my country.

    I would make the argument, one, that instead it is an incentive to do right — that it is not penalizing because penalty is punishment.

    A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

    Attention:

    From now on, there will be no penalties! All fees imposed by the government will now be called incentives. If you disagree, please put on warm clothes, pick up your shovel and head to the train station for the trip to the re-education facility.

    It just sounds more liberal in German.

    Sheila Jackson Lee (SJL):
    Stupid
    Jive-a$$
    Lib

    Watching this babbling humanoid in action, consuming our natural resources and spewing BS as a product, really can be depressing. Latest Jackson Lee contributions to society:
    1. SJL takes House floor to condemn Pepsi commercial as racist and demeaning because it shows a black woman throwing a pepsi can at a black man.
    2. SJL talks about “two Vietnams” on House floor, apparently ignorant of the fact that the war ended a few decades ago.
    3. SJL says repealing Obamacare would be unconstitutional.
    4. SJL asks where she can find copies of the photo of Neil Armstrong planting the American Flag on Mars.
    5. And, who can forget those immortal thoughts of SJL comparing the Tea Party to the KKK in a speech to the NAACP.

    Yep. She brings levity to Congress, even if she doesn’t realize it. I would say embarassment but I don’t think that anyone in Congress really cares about being embarassed.

    And that’s where things get comical. It translated “head” as a noun instead of as a verb, and so “pick up your shovel and head” came across like you were saying, pick up your shovel and your head.

    That’s why it can sometimes be a real adventure to read the translated instructions on certain “made in Japan” gizmos.
