They are about as serious as William J. Le Petomane.

Well, at least they’re honest about being a gang.

Can you be more precise? Are we talking about The Gang Of d4 + 1, The Gang Of d20 + 1, or The Gang of d00 + 1?
Also, I have a +1 modifier due to superior equipment and I’m wearing my Tabard of Constitutional Protection.

Is it at least a distinctive enough random number to be able to distinguish it from (most of) the other gangs?
July 19th, 2011 at 3:39 pm
Gang of Pi? Gang of SQRT(2)? Gang of i? Gang of e? Gang of Bistromathic 6? Gang of Phi?

Gang of the square root of -1.

The g33k is strong with this thread!
LOL!

Gang of Planck. And may they walk it.

No debt ceiling increase! The congressholes and the community organizer overspent, let them take the fallout from their irresponsibility. You get to say “oops” if you bump into someone, you don’t get to say “oops” when you fuck up America’s economy and run it into the ground. Run them out of office! They’re like political junkies addicted to our money, they can’t get enough of it and they want more – it’s time to cut them the fuck off!
No, you can’t put more money on my credit card, you stinking, rotten congressholes!

Nah…your Tabard of Constitutional Protection won’t help. We need an Artifact or Relic…something like the Hand of Madison, or the Eye of Adams…no saving throws, uber-powerful, and it instantly grafts itself to the user which would guarantee that it wasn’t a shot deal…

Via John Lott’s site, this is what our govtards, who now want more of our money, are doing with our money:

Same old Gang of Rino’s and Dino’s “Reaching across the Aisle in the Spirit of Bipartisanship” that tells me I’m about to get Screwed, but I’ll be Kissed afterwards.

I’m holding out for the Sword of Washington. +5 vs Lawful Evil.

Yeah, they’re a Gang, and guess who is gonna get gang-raped!

I’d say it’s disturbing that the media have adopted the convention of the Chinese (popularized by the Chicoms) in calling things “(blank) of (number)”, but little the media does anymore surprises me.

If the debt ceiling isn’t raised, they’re not the ones who are going to suffer, we are.
July 20th, 2011 at 8:02 am
DIdn’t the Borg assign names like this (e.g. 6 of 9)? Are we all to be assimilated?
July 20th, 2011 at 9:34 am
42
July 20th, 2011 at 9:35 am
We’re going to suffer if they do raise it as well. Us, our kids, our grandkids. Tighten the belt now or we will all starve later.

They are just doing their jobs and distracting Americans from the promise the GOP made to work tirelessly to repeal Obama care, and the more time they waste the faster it is coming at us. They will get our money no matter what and do nothing but spend directly against the will of the people, and the people will put the same crooks back into office.
By the way, the numbers are out for last quarters GOP candidate contributions, and yet once again Ron Paul garnered more donations from the troops than all other candidates combined, just like in 2007-8. Says allot about the disconnect from the war hawks and the actual men and women that put it on the line every day.

The Gang of Six are going to cut the deficit with nine pieces of eight! It’s genius!
July 20th, 2011 at 11:05 am
I’m about to get Screwed, but I’ll be Kissed afterwards.
It’s more likely that we’ll be screwed, and then expected to kiss their asses afterwards.

There’s tightening your belt and then there’s pulling a David Carradine. The problem is that if we don’t raise the debt ceiling, we have to cut federal spending 42% in the next two weeks. It’s possible to think we need to cut spending while recognizing that it’s something that has to be done over time to avoid crashing the economy.

Stormy Dragon, that’s a great argument for making a schedule of debt ceiling increases, month by month.
Suppose there’s a debt ceiling overall increase of $X (a number I don’t feel like calculating now).
For the first 6 months, each month, the debt ceiling rises by 42% (current overspending) of the previous monthly revenue income. This allows for spending at exactly the current level.
For the following 6 months, the debt ceiling rises monthly only at 30% of previous monthly revenue. The subsequent 6, 20%, then 10% for the last 6 months. At 24 months, the debt ceiling does not rise, but total debt has risen by $X.
12 months later, the debt ceiling DROPS by 10% of the preceding year’s revenue, and this continues until the overall debt is no more than (say) 20% of GDP minus government spending.
Then we can start talking about unavoidable and necessary deficit spending following a Constitutional amendment that requires 2/3 majority to pass a budget (4/5 to veto override), no sitting member of congress may run for re-election or any employment paid for by any public funds for a period equal to the length of their current term of office when the debt of the nation increases during their tenure, no other Congressional action save for appointment confirmation and declaration of war may occur until a budget is passed.
