Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

“Squeaker” McCarthy

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Infrastructure week. at last.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

After roe, women are no longer free.

People are complicated. Love is not.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

    Last one before I leave work for the day. Thanks to those who have donated or plan to. My FB people are slacking.

    It’s been a little over a week, so I’m going to do some light spamming again. On Feb 2, 2013 I’ll be taking part in the Fight for Air Climb in Jacksonville, FL. My Firefighting class is required by our Chief to do a community service project to remind and reinforce the idea that Firefighters are public servants and role models; personally, I agree with that sentiment. I don’t have a personal connection to lung cancer, or any cancer really, other than my continual struggle to quit smoking.

    So, your donation, if you’re willing, either contributes money to that particular cause or buys you a small piece of my misery. I’ll be climbing 42 stories up in full bunker gear and air pack (roughly 30lbs). If you can or feel like it, please donate. I’ve already met my goal thanks to some very generous individuals. At this point it’s become a bit of a competition between classmates (I’m 3rd place) and to see if we can get our team into 1st (currently 2nd).

    Wait a minute. Why are all those wimmins in the background? I keep hearing how Obama has lost the woman’s vote.

    But isn’t this a different version, with interpolated Romney clips? I can’t watch it right now, but it says “gets help explaining Romnesia.”

    @cathyx: The whole bloody world wrote about it – last Thursday? Friday?
    Romnesia was like the top trending thing on the twitterstreams.

    But still fun to watch.

    @gogol’s wife: Could be, I just noticed the very bad color (is it my monitor or this video) at the start, and assumed it was the same one.

    Should have noticed the time is shorter. Cut out a lot of ums and ers?

    @cathyx:

    I hope he brings up Romnesia at the debate

    Romney will probably claim that Romnesia broke away from the Soviet Union, but didn’t get Obama’s full attention.

    but it says “gets help explaining Romnesia.”

    It’s the video we saw a few days ago with some great stuff cut in.

    There are clips of Romney supporting contraception for all women and supporting employers ability to deny coverage. Clips where Romeny is cool with abortion and one where he says he would gladly sign legislation banning all abortion. And one on tax cuts for the 1%, both for and against.

    It’s a great compilation of Romney lies. Feed it to everyone you can.

    Are you sure you’re not thinking of the country of Womania?

    (also, if Schieffer asks Romney about what our policy towards Freedonia should be, I’ll take back at least a few of the bad things I’ve thought about him)

    I’m seriously starting to think that satirical product reviews deserve to be treated as a new literary genre with awards and everything.

    @Roger Moore: This poem review from “Sparky’s Mom” has me on board with your idea:

    I think that I shall never see
    A binder lovelier than thee.
    Full of women’s names, the best
    binder clutched against my breast;
    This binder makes me feel like God,
    When hiring gals for less-pay jobs,
    A binder that my staff holds close,
    Filled with women who can vote;
    On whose careers we men have stood,
    richer, `cause, well, `cause we could.
    Poems are made by fools like me,
    But only Avery …
    made this really useful binder.

    Somehow I’m guessing we won’t hear from any trolls on this thread… Assuming there is a right-winger with any interest in the truth, I wonder how they’d possibly address these incredible transformations from the man who would be king. Let me guess… “The evil Lamestream Media, blah-blah-blah…) More likely still, “I see no evidence of flip-flopping here. Oh, and Obama is responsible for 9/11; everyone knows that!”

    The only relevant question to ask a presidential candidate at this point is “would you veto X if it landed on your desk” where X is a whole ton of crazy shit like banning all abortions or whatever

    The entire debate should be made up of nothing but questions that follow this outline because other than Supreme Court candidates this is the only impact that any president is going to have between 2012 and 2016

    I frequently worry about people–especially women–catching Romnesia. I’m glad the O team has finally given this condition a name so that it can be recognized on sight and treated accordingly. It’s a very grave condition that could have devastating consequences if left unattended to.

    Didn’t Romney deny that he would be willing to go to war against Womania?

    Or was that East Ovaristan? Or Wombylvania?

    There was some discussion in the earlier thread about Obama lifting this from Jeff Foxworthy’s “You might be a redneck.” While Obama or his speechwriters might have had Foxworthy in mind, the speech pattern, call and response, is ancient. It goes back to African tradition, and Obama would have certainly heard it used in the black church.

    I read that and all I thought of Lilli von Schtupp getting a wed, wed wose.

    if Schieffer asks Romney about what our policy towards Freedonia should be,

    If he says he’s worked closely with Secretary of the Treasury Margaret Dumont, then we’ll know he has a sense of humor. So, I’m guessing, dumbstruck silence.

    Like any “good” Mormon, he has always been at war with Womania.
