Or are we just lost in this masquerade?

Leon would probably vote: no.
Me, I’m hoping this Macondo well kill works. Then we can kill BP. Note the “magical marketplace” isn’t being considered by those shrieking at lifting the liability limit on drillers. Hmmm.
Cat Lady
Carpenters or George Benson?

War is breaking out again all along the libtard front. Think I will spend some time here in the rears till it all blows over.
And happiness is not in the liberal playbook of games.

Found this video on another blog I frequent, it both “tender” and creepy (thanks to running commentary of the reporter, “oh, that’s nice” ewwwww). The reporter dude is a bit pervy isn’t he?

@General Stuck: What happened? I’ve gone semi-Galt the past two weeks so I am unaware of the latest flame wars.

102.4 F ATM. Sounds like a radio station, only it’s redunkulous warm.

not to get to “you-tubey” on ya’ll, but this video was sent to me by a friend of mine. As a singleton, it really hit me with it’s “rightness” (if that’s a word), there is definitely a difference between being alone and being lonely.

@General Stuck: @beltane:
Let me guess: Obama is lying to us because he’s leaving troops in Iraq even though their not in combat operations, and therefore he’s broken his promise.
General Stuck
@beltane: Same ole fighting the Afghan war a thread below. Then there is the neverending pie fights over stimulus money and will it save us, or not. You dint miss much.

@beltane:
Indeed, back from RAGBRAI burnt to a crisp, have experienced the bliss of being politically Galtian for the last 8 days, catch me up.
I might not give a shit, but it’d still be nice to hear.
General Stuck
@Belafon (formerly anonevent):
And this also too. Plus add Afghan to same argument when we withdraw combat units, but still have troops there.
General Stuck
And while flame wars rage all around, Dougj sits a perch with a shit eating grin and his box of matches.:)
mr. whipple
Getting pretty testy down there.
You know what would be nice? If a certain blog owner would post a certain cat pic submitted by a certain reader today.
Cats have a calming effect.

Let’s simmer this, covered, for 45 minutes or so, then have it with some couscous.
mr. whipple
@Belafon (formerly anonevent):
F’ing Obama. I knew he was no Kucinich.

@jeffreyw:
Ohhhh…that looks yummy. Recipe?

Edited…because FYWP.

I don’t wanna get stuck on this ship of fools…

Anybody want to not argue about whether the first or second episode of Sherlock was better than the other? I can be pretty agnostic on the subject but there’s some strong tut-tuttery and bash-walloping in the Guardian comments.

@mr. whipple: If only we had elected Gravel.

We had that song yesterday karaoke style at a party I went to.
Hugin & Munin
Nah, Stuck is just crying ’cause when he concern trolls the deficit, he uses right-wing arguments to frame the issue. The urge to call himself a firebagger hurts his tiny brain, so he lashes out at others.

@Tlazolteotl:
There are two songs that I think of when I think smooooth ’70s soul: Masquerade and Do For Love.

Wall Street is up big time today. Further proof Obama has sold us out.
You what other President the stock market did good under?
Bush!
General Stuck
@kdaug: Wow. that was beautiful and relaxing. And turned me on to this guys beautiful music I didn’t know about. Thank You!!
General Stuck
@Hugin & Munin: go in peace grasshopper.

@lamh32:
awww. not just tender but right down loving. nice to see. even if it feels a tad voyeuristic to see our president mid kiss.
kdaug
@General Stuck: Happy to share. To steal from the comments on the video’s page, “one of YouTube’s hidden gems.”
Hugin & Munin
Nope, dumbfuck, peace ain’t on the menu. Obama didn’t run on a peace platform, and only a pathetic, deluded liberal would think otherwise.

Did anyone actually watch This Week w/Christiane Amanpour? The right-tards really up in arms just because she said something about Afghans killed by this war? Was there something else that set them off?
General Stuck
@kdaug:
Absolutely.

@mr. whipple:
And thank whatever deity you pray to that he’s not.
Baseball season is officially over. The Mets are as dead as progressive legislation in the Senate. Thank God the Premier League starts up in two weeks.

@Jim, Foolish Literalist:
Nobody actually watched. I heard she beat up on Nancy Pelosi, though. If that’s true, why are the wingers all upset?

@General Stuck:
Speaking of hidden gems, search on “Allison Moorer” and check out the live duets with big sis (Shelby Lynne).

New Los Lobos and Arcade Fire records out tomorrow. Should be fun.
jeffreyw
@Violet: Yeah. lemme pimp TaMara’s place for it.
General Stuck
@burnspbesq: A gem indeed, And a beauty I’ve heard sing and play before.
Origuy
@David in NY: She’s a woman with a funny name from Iran. Isn’t that enough?

So what’s the over/under on how long Christiane Amanpour will last as host on ABC’s This Week, or how long before ABC totally throws Christiane to the wolves and replace her with Tapper?

Mitch Miller died. My parents used to watch his show. He was 99. From the Times obit:
Damn.

Ho-lee crap, Rand Paul puts his Galtian foot in it again (via Benen).

Yeah, then we’ll bus in illegal aliens to do the unsafe dirty work while the miners all stay home collecting their unemployment because they refuse to work in unsafe conditions. I get it now! Teh marketz are magical, just like the Freedom-Assuring Gunz.
