perhaps he meant "trick" in a different sense.

Big deal. I can name the sane members of the RNC in alphabetical order. Here goes:
Wanna see it in reverse alpha? I can do that too.

Whoa! I’ll bet he knows somebody who can snap their fingers as well.

I saw a horse that could talk on TV! Had his own show and everything.

And for this next trick, I will make everyone disappear…

Maybe because, at this point, that’s like about 7 names?

This is just another case of real life Republicans failing to match the high standards of fictional Democrats.
Sam Seaborn can list every member of congress in alphabetical order from memory.

If he had gotten stumped on the members from Guam, would Smith have noticed? Then he really would need help.

This must be their secret plan to reclaim the youth vote.

A true patriot can sing the Star Spangled Banner in alphabetical order.

Could be worse. Ping pong balls could be involved. [shudder]

Somehow, when I picture this guy at a party naming off RNC members, the image in my head is that of Rick Moranis in Ghostbusters right before a hellhound smashed through his apartment.

Holy shit, that’s funny. Thanks!

@Tom Hilton: Pretty busy today, eh?

so, he’s an modern-day idiot-savant Alex P Keaton ?

Here’s why the GOP is irrelevant today, and will remain so in the forseeable future:
From today’s executive order signing.
This is the government, working for the people.
What does the GOP have to offer in response?
Basically, right now, peevish defiance and a lifted middle finger to the Obama administration, and the voters.
Good luck. Let the GOP act out whatever schtick it wants to act out. The people are not nearly as stupid as the GOP seems to think they are.

Governor Palin about to feel the Wrath of God!
This may put a cloud over the Palin administration.
Sorry, had to be said.

Can I not mock my colleagues without being mocked myself?

Barf. I’m so sick of The Politico (er, Drudge light). I rarely even read Ben Smith’s blog anymore — which always struck me as the most sane of the whole wing-nuttery bunch. But still…
.
I just can’t stomach Mike Allen and Jonathan Martin’s breathless pursuit of GOP talking points and blaring wacko "headlines" — like, "OMG the black President touched me when I tried to ask him a douchey question! Yikes! Let’s bring an FBI body language analyst to tell us how controlling and ‘intimidating’ our new POTUS is!"
.
And Alex Burns made quite a name for himself during the election season by cramming Drudge-cherry-picked "polls" (which claimed Obama was actually losing!) down our throats.
.
I really wish everyone would adopt Wonkette’s new policy of NOT LINKING to their website anymore.

I didn’t know mutual suicide pact members threw parties.

I stopped believing that after 2000.

@TheHatOnMyCat: That is a bit awkward for the policy of preparing Alaska to be a refuge once the rest of the US faces Armageddon…
TheHatOnMyCat
Well, stop using us as your baseline. That’s what’s throwing your chart off.

Is CNN’s Drew Griffin a dunce, or am I just discovering something new now?
Re: $75 million for stop smoking programs. Drew was being a total dick about it to a Democratic Senator or House member – can’t remember which. Basically, he was trying to make a fool of the man for supporting it. Isn’t he supposed to be an investigative reporter? Able to think things through?
Quitting smoking has been an economic stimulus to me. I save around $4.00 a day x 365 = about $1500 a year. That’s bigger than almost ANY rebate check that was sent out that Republicans supported when Bush was handing out the cash.
In addition, I save nearly $700 a year in reduced contributions to my health insurance plan.
Sounds like quitting smoking has been pretty profitable for me to the tune of at least $2200 a year. And I was buying Geirgia smokes, which are cheap. I’;m sure in other areas of the country, cigarettes at upwards of $7-8 a pack.

Whew. I thought this was a cry for help:

You didn’t hear the music? Huh…could be a problem with your sound card.

I might be too jet-lagged but… was that a Billy and the Boingers reference? My God, please let it be.
