Rugged,

The creek was made narrow by little green trees that grew too close together. The creek was like 12,845 telephone booths in a row with high Victorian ceilings and all the doors taken off and all the backs of the booths knocked out.

Regarding that Constitutional provision of 3/5 of a person voting -

Can we simply replace the words “slave” with “Republican”? It would go a long way towards fixing that blind spot.

Perfect, combine the two. Resulting in Greater Albania.

Albania: 53.8% McCain
Macedonia: 86.7% McCain

That’s it, really.

Perfect, combine the two. And the people that live there already are just going to have to learn English.

D. Aristophanes said,
does anyone have any ideas about what would be the perfect countries for wingnuts to flee to after Obama landslides to victory?

I see Somalia’s already gleaned a couple of votes in this thread, but let us be merciful and consign them to the places where they would be made most welcome.

Damnit, I should’ve checked first. I’m usually more pedantic than that. Thanks.

Well, I wouldn’t feel bad about it. Virtually every science blogger that wrote about it got it wrong. I just happened to stumble upon one who looked a little more closely at the earmark. And again it doesn’t change the fact that Palin made an ignorant anti-science remark.

If Democrats were just like Republiculos, and liberals fought using the same tactics as conservatives…

Then conservatives would right now be scrambling for a term to replace “property rights” as that phrase would have been indissolubly linked to slavery long ago.

(Same for the hairball inducing “ownership society”.)

Lawnguylander said: Not that it makes her any less of an ignorant clown, but the earmark Palin was criticizing was for research on olive fruit flies (Bactrocera oleae)….Drosophilia melanogaster are the “fruit flies” that are studied for basic research which yields benefits in the areas of autism research, etc.

Damnit, I should’ve checked first. I’m usually more pedantic than that. Thanks.

After the uprising of the 17th June
The Secretary of the Writers Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?

The very concept of a ’sac race’ is giving me phantom-testicle pain.

It is whispered on many Conservative websites that Oblammo is planning on replacing the Constitution with the text of “Trout Fishing in America”…

Not that it makes her any less of an ignorant clown, but the earmark Palin was criticizing was for research on olive fruit flies (Bactrocera oleae). Theses little beasties are crop pests so the funding was for applied research to help protect agricultural products. Drosophilia melanogaster are the "fruit flies" that are studied for basic research which yields benefits in the areas of autism research, etc. Of course she doesn't know the difference and if an earmark project for Drosophilia melanogaster research were known to Palin's speechwriters I'm sure they would have had her slag that one off instead of or in addition to the one they were aware of. Leading to the same level of ignorant self beclownment. I get all pedantic on your asses because you're among friends here and I would hate to see you corrected in a less nurturing environment.

Obama demagogues race

It’s like a sac race, but with fewer Visigoths. Maybe like a Gracchi race?

That’s harsh, Rightwingsnarkle. Very harsh indeed. And I, sir, am a Red Sox fan!

Well, I hear ya, ‘cuz I really was at that no-hitter against the O’s last year. Quite a night.

The Minneapolis teleprompter speech was Caribou Barbie’s no-hitter. Soon, she’ll be heading back to the minors with a bad arm and no real prospects.

I think these wingnuts are lumping the Constitution in with the Bible and saying “It’s all true! Every word!” And as we know, if you disagree with that you are not a believer (in this case, a believer in America)

Most wingnut Bibles stop at Leviticus and pick up again at Revelation.
