Here’s the Canadian Amy Winehouse–without the eye makeup, beehive and, hopefully, drinking problem–to grace our open thread.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?
They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.
When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.
Stay strong, because they are weak.
The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.
the 10% who apparently lack object permanence
Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.
One way or another, he’s a liar.
He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.
You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.
We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.
We still have time to mess this up!
The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.
If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.
SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.
GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.
You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.
Human rights are not a matter of opinion!
rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius
Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.
I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.
They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!
Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.
Their shamelessness is their super power.

I thought the Canadian Amy Winehouse was Celine Dion.
Non?
/was gonna go with Don Cherry, but too obscure

British conservative policies lead to a triple-dip recession:

I wonder what Sully thinks about this.

Chicken hawk Saxby Chambliss is retiring. What he did in 2002 was really low, so good fucking riddance.

@Alex S.: And they’re threatening to pull out of the EU.
3-1 they either go to war over the Falklands again or invade Scotland.
Alex S.
@BGinCHI:
Heh, indeed.
@PsiFighter37:
Interesting! This is a possible pick-up if the Reps nominate one of their crazies.
BGinCHI
@PsiFighter37:
Fixed for Georgia cracker barnyard sexytime accuracy.

@Alex S.: Conservatism cannot fail; it can only be failed.

@Alex S.:
The Cameron is a real man making tough decisions. The first man they’ve had in the job since St. Margaret.

@BGinCHI:
That would be defend the Falklands. I’m not sure you can invade a country that you know, you actually already govern.

@BGinCHI:
Just wait until they have a King again, instead of a Queen. IMO, their national psychology will change (monarchies are weird that way).
We’ll be hearing neocon pundits on both sides of the Pond quip about “Britain! Resurgent!” by 2040.
Awesome.

@Litlebritdifrnt: See America, late 1770s.

@Judas Escargot, Bringer of Loaves and Fish Sandwiches: Tragically, this still won’t help them win a World Cup.
Suffern ACE
@Litlebritdifrnt: Bush doctrine the Argentines by sending the fleet to blockade Rio. Premptive war against a potential ally of the real enemy when they’re least expecting it.
japa21
@BGinCHI: Actually, they didn’t invade, just sent in additional troops to support those already here, as well as doing major recruitment amongst the colonists, a sizeable portion of which were on Britain’s side.

South Carolina GOP chair has some interesting ideas on how Obama won…

Yay, Serena! And in this one, she pressures Q host Jian into making him sing with her for the first time since he was in Moxy Fruvous. OMG MOM JEANS!
More Serena, singing with a yam.

@Judas Escargot, Bringer of Loaves and Fish Sandwiches:
You think things might change?

@BGinCHI:
Maybe their international fortunes might improve if the Three Lions squad were to kick more ballboys. How shameful: the “brave and true” John Terry being shown up by some Frenchie.
Francois Hollande better watch out for Cameron in Davos. (though it would neatly illustrate just how much Cameron wants to leave the EU.)

Isn’t describing anything/someone as the ‘Canadian ______’ sorta like bitch-slapping with faint praise?

@japa21: I’ve been to the Falklands/Malvinas and the people there (ALL of them)are more British than the Queen.
That and all the land mines that still remain (blowing up the occasional wandering sheep) can be quite unnerving.

Without drinking problems? Such persons can’t possibly be True Artists™.

Unanimity in New England closer.

Balloon Juicers should be PROUD, PROUD I tell you, that the only person to go to prison for America’s torture program is a dude who didn’t torture anyone.
Hope.
Change.
Awesomeness.

LOL, a Canadian without a drinking problem, right.

Laugh about being Canadian all you want, that lady has pipes and can use them emotively.
Great song well done… better than Amy if you ask me, more emotion in the fine control.
