Santorum, Gingrich ratchet up conservative rhetoric in the South

Politi-truthy:
Clearly this an unfair comparison. They held shark attacks to a higher standard than vote fraud. They should have compared allegations of shark attacks to allegations of voter fraud.
I mean, if every GOP allegation of vote fraud counts, then so should every drunken fratboy who says, “Duuude, you won’t belieeeve it! I got attacked by a SHARK!”

Is “Sit on the Couch” code

So if it was a just world, then then would mean ix-nay on the vp-ay for Christie right?

I’m sitting on the couch right now.
With my wife. And some cats.
But not with Nancy Pelosi.

I have a response for this.

Guilty until proven innocent. It’s the GOP way

Shorter Rih: I’d never sit on the couch with a filthy blood-traitor.

The next cat I get will be called Nancy Pelosi and I shall sit with her any damn place I please.

Ah, Politroll. Fact-checking a Colbert joke means an almost guaranteed free mention on the Report. All page views is good page views.

Can we have “sitting on the couch with Nancy Pelosi” as a new tag line?
Or maybe “sitting on the couch with Rick Santorum”

OT: Just made my first ever bechamel sauce. It’s damned fine, since it is made with half & half, butter, garlic, sage and white cheddar. I must now revise my statement that McMegan is a terrible cook. She must be godawful in a manner that harkens to near apocalyptic, to need a $1500 machine to make what an inexperienced chef can read a basic on wikipedia on, and whip up less than 10 minutes later.

@Yutsano: Dude, you’re a bronie?

@Yutsano: Aren’t you sposed to be somewhere?

Minnesota 5, North Dakota 1 I was really nervous about this game all week (no, I don’t have enough to do), but when the Gophers came out of the tunnel like they were launched from a cannon I knew we were in pretty good shape. We got some help the the Whioux goalie, but Also controlled the game except for a three minute stretch at the start of the second.
On to Duluth to play Cornell in the national semifinal. The Big Red played two very different hockey games today. They and BU each scored a touchdown in the first 60 minutes and then played 59:50 of shutout hockey before finally deciding that they’d had enough.

I am quite happy for Politifact doing this because Colbert reacting to it on his show will make my day sometime next week.

@lamh35:
Unless “sit on the couch” is a well-known euphemism of which I’m unaware, this is really sick. I for one am perfectly capable of sitting on the couch with people in an entirely chaste manner. Rick not so much I guess.
Comrade Mary
I think any man who chooses to sit on a couch with any woman should do so very, very carefully. Ouch.
Narcissus
Oh yeah sit on that couch
do it
Plump those cushions

Could Politifact please help me out here – where is this (comment seen on right-wing website comment thread…forgive me, I was bored) coming from:
The Saudis covered the Harvard education, while the Iranians (or was it the Chinese) paid whomever forged the birth certificate? It all gets so confusing – HELP US POLITIFACT!
Viva BrisVegas
Has Politifact been Komened? Has a super secret wingnut infiltration squad taken control?
Where is James O’Keefe these days? More importantly, where is his pimp costume?

Clearly Politifact is for entertainment purposes only. Can’t ya take a joke?

@Jeffro: Is that the Saudi prince that owns a good chunk of Fox News or the one that GWB puckered up to? There are about 1000 of them, it’s hard to keep track.

What a useless bunch of wankers Politifact(sic) is turning out to be.
I’m starting to see the light in the comment on today’s FactCheck(sic) thread: that these people have been bough off to say this shit so that everyone becomes so cynical about fact-checking that it’s thrown on the rubbish heap.
Which would be a very unfortunate outcome. But we’re headed there. Fast.

@Comrade Mary:
My Little Pony has the most wonderful reaction images and video clips for any circumstance.
Yutsano
@Comrade Mary: Yup. Outed myself awhile ago. For a series aimed at little girls, it’s surprisingly adult. But considering what the animator who developed it has done in the past, it’s not too shocking. Plus she insisted on total creative control. There’s even a wink and a nudge to Whovians in it.
@Frankensteinbeck: This. Also. Too.

@Yutsano:
Faust is good, and Hasbro gave her huge freedom. Her head writer is the guy who did My Life As A Teenage Robot, and he is hysterical. Very sharp and silly sense of humor, and likes subtle edges and references. And the animation is fantastic. Computer animation (it’s animated in Flash with vectors) has finally allowed more detailed and complex animation to be done for the same effort and price – like I was told it would 30 years ago.
