Last Friday our modem had a total nervous breakdown and went to the Great Scrap Heap in the Sky. Today was the soonest they could get a repair person out. Five days of no news on the latest attempts to repeal Obamacare. No Cheers & Jeers. No emails begging me to chip in $5 to save the world. No Top Comments. And OMG NO POOTIE PICS I HAD TO LOOK AT MY LIVE CATS AND TRY TO PICTURE CAPTIONS FOR THEM!

I hereby declare this an open thread.
On to Top Comments!
From MRA NY:
A double top comment!
This top comment from praying manathiest includes a top comment from Bernie Sanders.
Both beautifully and humorously call out the war mongering crazy republicans for what they are!
From
anon004:
This captured the GOP arrogance and lack of regard for how anything they do to take down Obama impacts the country they profess to love, gosh, just more than anyone else. (Comment is from d3clark, in the diary #47 Traitors in Retreat - Now say they were just joking - Senators denounce each other by Billionaires for Wealthcare.)
From
mojo11:
This comment by sizzzzlerz on this diary Unnamed Republican sources now trying to claim Iran letter was meant as a 'cheeky' joke wins the internets for today IMO.
From
The Marti:
This is a smart, spot on comment by Pi Li in this morning's Cheers & Jeers in response to the Poll question about who should be on the $20 bill.
Well said!
