FY 2007 SD.net Spending Bill

Post by Sea Skimmer »

The Great Leader proposes spending bill no.1 be made binding public law without prior review, reading of the bill or any other reactionary anti populist nonsense. The Great Leader also vehemently denies claims that this spending bill would divert all money, natural resources and ‘mobile biological bullet absorption’ resources to HAB use.

Since I'm still an honorary memeber of the HAB I'm all for spending increases to giant weapons of extreme landscape adjustment.

Better yet we simply agree to donate massive amounts of money only after one of the Black Mages acutaly manage to reach the retirment age of one hundred and twenty... or the undead/lich retirment age of one hundred twenty billion.

The last Black Mage Council voted our retirement age to 21 years of age, Earth Standard. Now make with the money.

The Floor recognises the Representative for Cybertron and the Black Mages "Coooeee", and says that his position is that of a poohead... that smells of poo.

If the Governor does not toe the line his Kickbacks will be given to a Good cause, such as the Fighter Free Clinic, or the Home for Sword-chuck Instructors.

Now accept the bribe like a proper politician. :P

HAB has already abolished money within its own domain, as it was found that the concept of ‘currency’ brought with it the need to have a ‘war budget’ which in turn was nothing more then an insidious mecha attempt to limit the propitiation of HAB armaments! The Great Leader thus proposes that once all SD.net money has been spent, then that currency shall also be abolished in favor of the uncontrolled allocation of resources to the war plants.

The Great Leader however assures the population that their will be no slave drives (only mandatory volunteering) and ample resources will remain to meet all such minor 'standard of living' requirments as food and clothing.

Slander? It's written therefore it would be libel. I don't know you've been spending too much time with RSA, his idiocy is rubbing off... or so I thought until I found this school report that shows that RSA was actually the brighter of you 2 at school, he graduated from the 5th Grade after only 4 attepts and you technically still haven't graduated from 4th grade. You can't argue with the proof of official School records Mr Anderson.

Oh and next time, don't contract out the destruction job to Stewie, the Neighbours are complaining about him trying to TP the planet... with only one roll... from orbit... riding a tricycle. It's just pathetic.

Total obliteration is considered only a minimal level of destruction according to HAB Bomb Damage Assessment standards.
Tanks > Big Fucking Starships
The larger HAB tanks use Death Stars as ball bearings for the commanders cupola, and in any case HAB fields a full range of combat equipment. Attempting to rely completely on one system or one sort of system is the insanity of the mecha, and the fact that you believe this to be the case for HAB clearly shows your pro mecha agenda. Quickly, guards, search him for mecha paraphernalia!

That is hardly the case, the Great Leader would never be so foolish as to order such a thing, when he was not sure of a positive result.

Summary execute him you mean, because there is no need for arrest and a show trial when these shocking revelations of mecha scum in the senate are already being beamed live to the population.

Also the Great Leader wishes to thank the so far two senators who have volunteered to lose limbs in the hunt for mecha laid mines and booby traps
