I made a movie yesterday with Obama and Bush doing the dialogue from the SEC employee porn investigation.
I also have one where Bush accuses Obama of touching his drumset.

Okay – I had to look up troglodyte – but the ‘bots are really cute. Can I have one for a pet? What do they eat? Can they exercise themselves?

@Linda Featheringill:
I am surprised that people have never heard the word before. Factoid – Common chimpanzee’s scientific name is “Pan troglodyte”.

@Napoleon:
Obligatory old-school funk reference.

It seems to me that they should have the ability to add faces, like JibJab does, to these animations such that the face of Jack Abrahamoff goes with his text.

“So easy, even a troglodyte can do it” is a popular ad on teevee, I am told.

DougJ must be in Villager Heaven since Luke Russert seems to be one of the main “reporters” on the Eric Massa story.

Anyone who ever played D & D would know what a ‘Trogdolyte’ is. In the game, they’re sort of like a CHUD.
I spent a year or two making Mr. Gygax rich (sigh).

Really?
MobiusKlein
@Napoleon: Cmon, everybody knows about Troglodytes As underground dwelling medium humanoids (subtype reptilian) and 2d8+4 hit points, they won’t be a challenge for any but low level characters. Basically, they’re Orcs that stink.

@Origuy: When will republicans learn to take a cab home from the gay bar, back to your four children, if you’re too drunk to drive.
For comedy, I hope never. For road safety, I say just suspend their licenses pre-emptively.

Did you guys see this article in The Guardian?

I’m pretty sure troglodyte was a very common insult back when I was too young to insult people with words like that. “what am i, a dictionary?” — too funny. Jack must have had a moment of despair when he realized Scanlon was one of the troglodytes that he was talking about. What sort of moron wouldn’t google a word they didn’t understand if it was used in an email?

@Origuy:
That just doesn’t do anything for me, completely not surprised. As soon as you mention drunk and gay night club you expect family, republican, and homophobic. Repressing ones sexuality and not expecting that result is well, insane. Teabaggers are of course insane, so maybe we should expect more.

I just want to thank Doug for putting this voice in my head. Bertha, Bertha Butt, one of the Butt Sisters. Over and over again.

OT, but wow: check out the winner of the Democratic primary in Tom DeLay’s former Congressional district.

@DougJ:
Yeah. I saw Russert talking to Chris Matthews yesterday steering folks away from the cancer angle and emphasizing the harassment of a male staffer and today Russert phoned in to the Ed Schultz radio show.

@burnspbesq: Was the Republican nominee a shoo-in? Maybe a load of Republicans voted in the Dem primary instead, in order to get her elected. Or maybe the Dem voters in Texas are as dumb as they are here in Illinois on occasion. Either way, if there’s a viable, actual Dem candidate in that district, that poor slob is stuck with the inconvenience of having to run as an independent.
Common Sense
@burnspbesq:
Wow, that woman is completely nuts. I was curious what LaRouche’s grand plan was, since Rogers didn’t bother to explain any of her solutions on her website. A bit o’ Googling brought me to this:
So she wants to impeach Obama and create a giant federal corporation that takes over every car plant in the US? Jesus, where did they drag her out from?
cleek
i’m sure she had no help from the local GOP.

I have just introduced my AP Government students to the concept of special interest groups and lobbying. We are watching Billy Moyer’s piece from 06, ‘Capitol Crimes,’ that covered these frauds.
In a classroom of conservative Christian Democrats who vote Republican (it’s a rural Florida county), the response has been…refreshing.
Common Sense
@Ash Can:
In all honestly she may have won based solely on her name. Dem voters in TX-22 tend to come from Galveston or Missouri City, which are both heavily African American. It’s the opposite reason Victor Cirillo, the incumbent Railroad Commissioner, just happened to get only 40% of the vote in his GOP primary vs a guy with the decidedly non-‘Messican name of David Porter. He was the only statewide Republican incumbent to lose.
Sadly your name can carry you or hurt you in these things.

Damn! You are on a thread title roll.
Well done, sir. Well done.

@Common Sense: Tell me about it. I remember Janice Hart and Mark Fairchild very clearly. That’s what I was referring to when I mentioned dumb Illinois voters. (And my fellow Illinois Dems didn’t acquit themselves very well with Scott Lee Cohen, either. ::facepalm::)

Carrillo had an interesting letter to the editor in the Austin paper today. This guy had the backing of the GOP establishment, the Christian Coalition, and basically anyone else that matters to a GOP voter. He outspent his opponent, “an unknown, no-campaign, no-qualification CPA from Midland residing in Giddings [who] filed on the last day that he could file while I was waiting in Abilene to bury my dad. He has never held any elected office, has no geoscience, industry, or legal experience other than doing tax returns for oil and gas companies,” by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Carrillo lost 61%-39%. His reasoning?
I’m not so sure that he is going to quit. He is hinting he’s in it for the long haul:

What is this rumor about John Roberts?

I have that song on a mix cd and I always thought it was “oh, oooh, oh oh Israelites” – I’m such a dink.
As I said on another thread, DougJ and his titles are fookin brilliant, even when I don’t get them. Thanks for clearing this one up!

@null pointer exception: That he’s retiring? Not true. Unfortunately.

@null pointer exception: Oh how i wish Roberts was the guy who got the DUI leaving that gay bar.
MikeJ
@ajr22: Meh. This is guy is small enough to throw under the bus. Had it been Roberts we’d be hearing non stop that anyone who doesn’t drive drunk home from gay bars hates America.

That’s because wanting to actually serve the public runs directly counter to what the GOP is all about.

@burnspbesq: Of course we have to impeach Obama. It’s the only way to rid ourselves of his British imperialist controllers, as her website makes clear.
ajr22
@MikeJ: Yes, but I sometimes enjoy watching these people lie like this. It brings me joy to know when they are lying, because it just demonstrates they are always full of shit. It even makes me feel a little better that they are just lying assholes and not completely insane people.

OT, but I just have to say how much I admire ABC’s Jonathan Karl. This man not only manages to get interviews with the people no one else seems to get but he really pins them down on the issues and their stances like no other intrepid reporter out there. For instance, today he went out and got an exclusive with the guy that everyone is dying to interview and it’s scintillating. Please read what this visionary in American politics has to say!

Great stuff. Thanks!
