Glad to have been of service, @marina to!

I just watched Eat Shit Bob again. 

It is as gloriously profane and hilarious as I remembered it.

Coal Baron Who Fought to Weaken Black Lung Protections Files for Black Lung Benefits

Quote

Murray Energy also kicked $300,000 in 2014 to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s group, Kentuckians for Strong Leadership. Under McConnell’s “strong leadership” last year, Congress let the tax rate on coal that supports the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund lapse from $1.10 per ton. It reverted to the 1977 rate of just $0.55. With coal in decline, that means there’s even less revenue in the fund to help those who suffered this work-related disease that Murray now wants in on. Oh, and the Government Accountability Office estimates the fund will be $15 billion debt by midcentury if Congress doesn’t help shore it up.

So much to be angry about here I don't even know where the hell to begin. 

The sheer irony involved here... Amazing.

Yet another reason to sing Eat Shit, Bob!

This seems like an open dare for John to top the huge musical number from last year, only now he's in his void.

Yeesh. I'm guessing this was before John taped tonight's episode.

I'd never say I'm glad anyone is dead, so I'll put it this way. If he was alive, he'd still potentially be able to eat shit. Dead people don't eat. So really, it's a shame he's gone.
