Here's a twisted thought: What if John Boehner saves the planet?

The Sprawling Dictates of a Maniac Gone Sane: Debt Revolution

Who would have thought that the United States government could be lead grassroots organizer in a campaign for sanity and economic collapse? While thousands of us dream of having the guts to pull up to the White House in a standard automobile or the rites of self-immolation in order to start the breakdown for rise-up, John Boehner may be the bold actor we seek for temporary guidance over the most-appropriate precipice of all: “saving the planet.”

October 17. Google it.

The most aggressive climate scientists and the most asinine energy whores agree that we are in a world of hurt, facing calamity in number of 11 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius), in feedback loops unbeknownst to humankind, and in rhyme with death knells of up to 200 species a day and acidification of the foundations of all we eat.

From Shutdown to Debt Showdown, we must embrace this time and our place to embark by taking a measureable step towards the appropriate collapse of all we know. October 17. Otherwise, the one Mother Nature delivers will defy all of our terms for what is reasonable, and there will be neither place nor time to rue the day we didn’t say, “Go Boehner.”

1. Oh Shit, the perverse becomes palatable, ...

because other alternatives have not been presented, or are non existent. And a repub 'whore' heralds reason, however diverse from his own protestations of gospel.

I'm getting too old for this.

2. Not so twisted if he's leaving the planet ...

3. Sorry, but that's more GOP fantasy crap

Boehner isn't going to save anything, not even himself. He will make sure to leave behind maximum chaos, fraud, waste, abuse, disease and death. It's what he's good at.

I wish I could say that the White House will counteract or prevent that, but I'm not that detached from observable reality....

4. Of course Boehner's not going to save anything.

The whole article was sarcastic irony.

It starts from the premise that the only thing that can save the planet is a global economic collapse, and then observes that Boehner may be about to trigger one...

5. If it is not 'sarcastic irony' please inform, ...

so I might too, dodge the political imagined armageddon that might or might not, follow.
