Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.
Shut up, hissy kitty!
The willow is too close to the house.
If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.
You cannot love your country only when you win.
They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.
Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.
Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.
Democracy cannot function without a free press.
In after Baud. Damn.
Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.
Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.
Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.
Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.
If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.
Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.
“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.
Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.
if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.
“But what about the lurkers?”
Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.
And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.
Optimism opens the door to great things.
Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Now we can cut the crap and get down to serious business like passing a health care reform bill that includes a public option, right? RIGHT?

This is only the beginning of the beginning of the peak. I’m afraid of heights. Or, more appropriately, edges.

Good gawd, today was like Wingularity Peak Wingnut Explosion Apex. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, but I’m leaning toward the latter.

We will have reached peak wingnut on the day we are forced to form self-defense associations to protects ourselves from roving bands of crazy people.

That is very much like wingnuts in that it probably pisses and shits all over.

Okay, this could be enjoyable. Keith just said that Meghan McCain and Michelle Malkin are snarking at each other — “I have more Facebook friends than people who bought your old book, nanny nanny!”

Yeah, I remember arguing last year that peak wingnut had come and gone with the Schiavo affair.
Oops.

@me:
Well, sure. But who would you rather get sloppy wet kisses from? Hmmm? Hmmmmm? :-)

I think we’ve reached some kind of important point in our country’s history. I mean, our media seems to be literally obsessed (almost 24/7) with a minority of crazy people who are just making up shit and its driving our political discourse.
Is this the road we really want to go down?
RedKitten
Effing false labour is driving me nuts. I had contractions on Sunday, but they were irregular and more than 20 minutes apart. Then today, I was having them about 8-10 minutes apart, but they were really mild, so I wasn’t sure what to think. And now…nothing. I live an hour from the hospital, so we’re not going until I know for SURE, but these false starts are a royal pain in the ass.

@General Winfield Stuck: A clown car on the road — or in the ring — is hard to turn, too. That’s kind of why we’re seeing the odd weaving on the part of the Ruchpublican Party.

There’s the problem. When it’s really labour that’s not where the pain will be.

Oh, wait — you made it all the way to -being a beached whale- term? Oh, that’s a chore.

Oooh RedKitten/8:55 pm
False labour, how exciting! I stand by my prediction of a girl on the 12th. You have about 24 hours.
Speaking of, who is actually maintaining the guessed list? And is there a nice prize?
Good luck, RK.

@cbear:
Cole, role out the Fainting Couches, I think cbear (and maybe me) might be in need.
An hour seems like a bit far to me. Haven’t baby’s been born before then. Like in taxi’s and shit. I saw it in a movie once. And what about the cab fare, wouldn’t it double? Questions, always questions to consider.
beltane
@RedKitten: Mother of five here. Diarrhea is one of the sure signs of real labor. So is a kind of hyper, speedy feeling.
demkat620
@MikeJ: Oh Mike, silly, silly Mike.
Real labour pains are everywhere. Been there, done that twice.
RK-epidurals are a gift from god.

Just wanted to come out of the lurker shadows and say: Tim F still posts?

Well yes, but that sort of ruins the joke, no?

Actually, labor pains were exactly that for me, a giant pain in the ass. Good luck!

@General Winfield Stuck: My God Man, how can you be making jokes at a time like THIS??? Isn’t anyone going to help this woman!!!!!

Somebody tell Cole to stop playing with the goddamn cat and get DOWN HERE NOW!!! We got a SITUATION!!!
Tsulagi
@RedKitten:
Quit your bitching. For my SO both times she went at least three weeks past her due date eventually popping out 10 pounders. My name was taken in vain so many times back then I started answering to “YOU BASTARD!” Put double locks on the gun cabinets too.
Seriously, wish you an easy delivery, and I’m sure you and hubby are excited.
RedKitten
v-blog? Yeah, um no. I am going to get the husband to bring his laptop with him, though, when we do actually go in. Who knows…we could go, get there, and wind up having things stall again. So at the very least, I can read and he can play Fallout. If we can get a wireless signal at all, I’ll keep you updated.
lamh31
There are times when you listen to Tweety, and you just wanna bash your head in and wonder why the hell you keep up with these damn shows.
And then you have times like these: Chris Matthews To Town Hall Protestor: Why Did You Bring A “God Damn Gun” To A Presidential Event? (VIDEO)
when Tweety draws ya right back in.
“The segment grew more and more heated as Matthews repeatedly asked Kostric why he came to the meeting wearing a gun. “Well, why did you bring a gun to a Presidential event today?”
“That’s not even a relevant question,” Kostric said, shrugging. “The question is, why don’t people bear arms these days.”
“Okay, you bought a sign that said ‘The tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants’ and you’re carrying a god damn gun at a Presidential event. I think those things make people wonder what you’re about.”
Kostric for his part, was unrepentant, and maintained that he was there in a totally non-violent capacity. “No one from New Hampshire was alarmed. Maybe some of the people they bussed in from Massachusets were alarmed. But we’re not really concerned about them.”
pika
@RedKitten: Sending you many good thoughts!
madmommy
@RedKitten:
I never did labor-a combination of big babies that didn’t drop and advanced maternal age, so I can’t give any suggestions on that front. Are you getting that nesting feeling? A sudden urge to clean everything is sight?
Good luck to you and the wee one!
Doctor Science
RedKitten, I trust this is your first — an hour away is plenty of time for a firstling, but could be way too interesting for a later kid. Best of luck to all, get plenty of sleep now.

Red kitten,
Man, I went into what I thought was labor on thanksgiving morning, sent my toddler and all the food I’d prepared over to my brother’s house and spent the day trying to bring on full labor by drinking CASTOR OIL which my crunchy granola midwives thought was some kind of natural birth assist. Come to find out my water hadn’t broken and I wasn’t really needing to drink six ounces of the stuff fascists used to make people drink in Italy as a kind of polite torture. Baby came two weeks after due date, like all my babies, and labor started while I was trying to chill and watch Buffy the Vampire slayer.
Here’s hoping you have a short, easy, labor and a bouncing baby really soon. Its all good, once the little demon is out and squalling.
aimai
RedKitten
Tsulagi — yikes! They won’t let you go three weeks past, AFAIK. Because of the gestational diabetes, they likely won’t let me go more than a week past.
I still reserve the right to bitch, though, so screw you. ;)
cbear — calm down, man. It’s all good. They’re still really mild, so there’s no panic. When they start getting to the point of being moderate, and when I’m consistently about 6-7 minutes apart, we’ll hop in the car.
lamh31
FYI,
The guy told Tweety that the GUN WAS LOADED!!! I understand ’bout “concealed” gun laws or what ever, but how is anyone allowed in any vicinity near the President of the United States with a stick, let alone with a LOADED GUN.
That’s okay though, the Secret Service was “watching him at all times” WHATEVAH!!!
Lock that bastard up!

Don’t everybody get too excited/worked up/freaked out just yet. I was having false alarms on Sunday, so this could just be a repeat of that. If we do decide to leave to go to the hospital, though, I’ll let you know…promise.

Lots of good Karma sent your way. Yer gonna be a momma soon.. How bout that!

In my defense, the theory of “peak wingnut” did have a degree of parsimony when I was conceptualizing it.

@lamh31: No one from New Hampshire was alarmed, my ass. Dude, you brought a GUN to a Presidential event! That would earn a serious “WTF?” from anybody with two brain cells to rub together.

@Red Kitten: Tomorrow is my niece’s and my grandfather’s birthday. It would make an excellent birthdate. Hope you are in labor long enough to make it where you need to go, and no longer. Hope we get to see pics.

How long until Republicans start talking about Democrats legalizing meth or something… That has been missing from the healthcare debate, imho. Forced gay marriages followed by mandatory abortions for everyone!

Tsulagi
@RedKitten:
Yeah, the first time she went so far past her due date her OBGYN scheduled her to have labor induced in the hospital. But the day before she went into real labor. Maybe it was the anxiety that got the ball rolling.
Also since from ultrasound the size range was known, the doctor recommended C-section. But SO didn’t want that unless during labor the baby was in jeopardy. Needless to say, after delivering 10 pounders kegels were in order. ;)

Has anyone else noticed that the “mainstream” republican party has managed to make the Paulites seem relatively sane?

Assychusetts fa99ot. Also.”

And we find out that Kostric’s a birther. Go figure.

@beltane: I wonder how many of these townhall meetings this guy has attended over the past week or so. Would surprise me to find out he’s been travelling around the country “expressing his opinions”.

@demimondian: Speaking of clown cars, can we just start referring to the GOP, birthers, deathers, etc., collectively as the Insane Clown Posse? It’s a nice, neat, appropriate catch-all term.

@cbear: You don’t want forceps. Take it from me, I have nerve damage along the right side of my face from that. When I was a baby I cried entirely out of the left side of my mouth. Eventually learned to pull it around to the front, but am left with a slight sneer to this day, 33 years later. Ob/Gyns have mostly quit the use of that implement, I understand, due to problems like that.

@RedKitten: hoefully you won’t need that laptop, unless the real labor turns out again to be false labor. when my son was born, 2 days of misaligned contractions had us waiting in the hospital for an entire weekend of a ‘planet of the apes’ marathon.
the doc told us that what you watch on tv is known to affect the kid’s personality, so we of course were psyched.

Can we just skip all the middle stuff and get to the part where conservatives are outraged that the evil liberal msm media would dare to pry into the life of a private citizen who was merely exercising his 2nd amendment right (At a public event.. where the president he opposes will be.. with a sign talking about watering the tree of liberty)? THIS IS JUST LIKE HOW THEY SMEARED JOE THE PLUMBER!!!11

Jesus Christ, as a gun nut (two gun safes) I find this guy embarrassing. I mean he can’t even clean-up, shave and put on a shirt and tie before going on TV. Jesus, is there anything more unattractive than a trailer park Libertarian?
You know, given the history of this country, I, as a gun nut who actually spent time in the military (I’ll bet that Kostric didn’t) would be extremely fucking disturbed by anyone bringing a gun to a presidential event or even a vice-presidential event or even a vice-presidential event when Dick Cheney was veep.

omg, i just ate half a bag of cheesy poofs. i doubt it will effect my greek god-like physique.
so anyway, i forgot to say this the other day. that repug kid from my work… he said that racism is over now that obama is pres. he also said there is no way that he could be a racist because he voted for obama. i think that was the point where i threatened him with physical violence. that was unbecoming of me, even though it would give me a chance to flex my tremendous muscles.

Speaking of Peak Wingnut, Esquire has an article about Orly Taitz up, and the exciting part is that the Birther stuff is just a sample from her bag of tricks. ORLY? is also pushing:
Goldman Sachs runs the treasury.
Obama is a puppet.
There’s a cemetery somewhere in Arizona where they just dug 30,000 fresh graves, which wait now for the revolution.
Baxter International — a major Obama contributor — developed a vaccine for bird flu that actually kills people.
Google Congressman Alcee Hastings and House Bill 684 and you’ll see that they’re planning at least six civilian labor camps.
Google an article in the San Francisco Chronicle about train cars with shackles.
The communist dictator Hugo Chavez way back in 2004 purchased the Sequoia software that runs our voting machines and the mainstream media won’t report any of it — not even Fox because Saudi Arabia bought a percentage of Fox in 2007.
I really like the combination of “Obama is the most dangerous danger to ever danger a danger and we must remove him or we’ll be paving over Dupont Circle and building Red Square in its place (and then where will all the gay men who live there go, huh? why do leftists hate teh gayez?)” and “Obama is a puppet”

Fucktard that brought the loaded gun to Obama’s event is a Ron Paul Supporter, a twisted, paranoid Randian style atheist, lists John Galt as a hero. He moved from Arizona to New Hampshire because Arizona was becoming too restrictive with its gun laws.
http://news.lavenderliberal.com/2009/08/11/who-is-william-kostric-myspace-page-tells-all/
He lists Ruby Ridge militia martyr Randy Weaver as a hero, and is on the fence about killing police…
These next years are going to be tragic. This sanctimonious, dangerous prick shouldn’t have been allowed within 3 miles of Obama.
DougL (frmrly: Conservatively Liberal)
@DougL (frmrly: Conservatively Liberal):
Oh, and Kostric’s MySpace introductory note ends with:
“I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.”
The above quote from his MySpace page, him packing heat at a Presidential event while holding a sign calling for the tree of Liberty to be watered with blood, and he tries to pass himself off as just some normal guy nobody needs to be worrying about?!
Nuts. Absolutely nuts.

@JK:
All right, I’ll play:
A: A year or two ago, I would have automatically picked Coulter, but as much as she used to raise my blood pressure, I don’t give a fuck about her anymore. I’ll go with Orly Taitz.
B: I’ve never seen Hannity depart one millimeter from GOP talking points, so I’ll go with him.
C: Amazingly, I hate Levin more than the rest of these tools (I’ve never heard of Jones). Listening to his grating voice sends me into instant depression, and I’ve listened to more than my share of Savage.
D: Breitbart.
E: Kristol.
F: McCarthy. I can’t believe this guy used to be a federal prosecutor. He doesn’t seem smart enough to pick his own nose.
G: Newt. Why won’t he just go away?

“We’re losing our Freedoms”, “We’re heading down the road towards Tyranny, away from Liberty.”
Jesus Christ, if I ever have a winger spout those Levin/Beck bumpersticker platitudes at me, I might actually snap and demand they define all three words.
They don’t know what the fuck they’re saying, just “I heard the guy on the radio say it, and he’s for freedom. Don’t ask me what it is though, no clue. All I know is it costs a buck-o-five.”

Y’know, I’ve always thought of blogs like Balloon Juice as the virtual realization of this concept.
And nutso as Mr. Kostric genuinely seems to be, I’m sure the Secret Service is even more nervous about the puppet-masters pushing such would-be Oswalds in front of the cameras. Or, as a commenter on another site said, “If the Secret Service used laser gunsites, Kostric would’ve looked like he was wearing a crown of rubies.”

I just had to peruse the comments to see where John came in to ask people to lay off his call of “Peak Wingnut.” It’s kind of the anti-Dow 35000 call of wingnut analysis.

The whole situation over there is starting to seem like the denouement of an unwritten Flannery O’Connor story, The Ignorant Bear It Away.
In other news, Krista! Sounds like you are getting there. I had false labor for a week after they stripped my membranes before the real thing started. Uninduced labor wasn’t bad for me, even after we’d hit 8 cm. If, however, they jack you up with induction hormones, go for the epidural.
2th&nayle
@Linkmeister: Yeah and here I thought I had it bad when I rocked in at #22. Course, that was in ’71, but there was still plenty of time to get killed. Thing that pissed me off most was the next year my younger brother came in at #25. That didn’t seem too fair to me, but it was after all a lotto. Luckily, they stopped callin’ up after ’72, so he didn’t have to go. Somehow that made it all right that I did.

News of DINO Zell Miller
Just heard on local TV news that Zell is in the hospital. Because I am a bad person, I was actually feeling just a little bit happy at this news until they said that he is suffering from Viral Shingles. Man, I feel sorry for him now. Srsly. I had shingles last year and I have never in my life been in such pain. So, I never thought I’d be writing these words, but Get Well, Zell!
