goddamned laptop…Get on the horn NOW and let them know that they can either include a public option, or just wait until we all cancel our private insurance policies and burn those mothers to the ground…then they’ll have no choice but to go back and do what they should be doing now and fixing this bitch.
I’m serious – there’s no way in HELL that I am going to continue to pay for premiums if there’s any type of legal mandate that requires every American to have insurance coverage through a private insurer, with no public option. That’s not going to “fix” anything other than this issue that there are 50 million people out there that the private insurers haven’t had the opportunity to rape yet. And they’ll rape them as soon as they get them on the rolls – with public money.
Seriously, 80% of the insured do not file a single claim in any given year. If even half of those people cancel their policies, the asshole private insurers will be out of business within a year. And then, we can finally fix this thing.
My letters are going out tonight. But we need someone like MoveOn or SEIU or more like every progressive group out there to get on a “Starve the Beast” media campaign. If our elected tools in Congress are content to sit around pulling their puds and writing legislation to protect their buddies in big insurance, we can fix the problem for them. Yes, we can.

“B-But I never — ”
“Oh, we know that. You’re a paragon of virtue, other than the bribery stuff. Nevertheless, we’ll be dropping those off at the Washington Post next week if you don’t vote for the health care bill. Your legislative career won’t survive. Your marriage won’t survive. We may even be able to cook up enough evidence to make sure you spend the rest of your life in a Supermax prison.

Um, I’m wondering if you actually read the article you linked to. First, its the fucking AP so, giant grains of salt are in order. Second, if you read what people actually said its nothing more that a re-iteration of the administration line: we need to cut costs and we believe the public option is the way to do it (but we’re going to give ourselves lots of wiggle room just in case). They aren’t drawing a line in the sand like I wish they would but aren’t exactly backpeddaling, either.
But, you know, whatever; if getting spun by one AP article is what it takes to get you motivated to contact your Sens and Reps, fine.

Sebelius has spoken along these lines before. In June, for example.
Also, let us see what the reaction from Republicans will be. Perhaps they’ll stick with the “Give Obama nothing” unified position of destruction and obstruction and say, “Coops? Fuck that dirty hippy sharing shit.” Then Obama could say to both the public and more right-leaning Democrats in Congress, “We tried.” Let us move forward with our agenda.
Or maybe not. We’re still a long way away from a bill on the floor of either chamber.

Dear Sadly, No!
As much as I admire your blog, I must take you to task for the blatantly false content of your p-shops which feature the wackaloons, fReichtards and other assorted fuckwits who clog up the internons with their mental doody ca-ca.
I am aware that p-shopping can be used to depict people in unlikely, even fantastical situations. You might show Jonah Goldberg thinking. You might depict Michelle Malkin as a person whose veins flow with something other than a mixture of bile and brimstone. If you wanted to get really silly, you could show Dick Cthcheney not eating a live infant. However, your p-shops frequently imply that the wackaloons &c. are housebroken.
Now I ask you, how credulous do you expect us to be? There simply are no documented instances of permanent fReichtard toilet training because sooner or later something (a brown person, asteroids, the fRighty’s shadow) will cause the fuckwit in question to shit his pants.
Please forgive me for speaking out this way, but I felt you should know that this reader doesn’t buy your attempts to flatter these people by depicting them as potty trained.

And by the way, it’s both the right and the left that have become so fixated on this that they forget everything else”
and call that “support”. If you actually want to win a policy debate, you have to come out and explain what you want to do in a clear and attractive manner. Epic, epic fail by any measure.

I’m not saying this definitely is a head fake, but if I were doing it, this is just what I’d do. Make the wingnuts blow their load early, make sure people know the president is still behind single-payer, but make it look like some important people were giving up on it, thus energizing our side for once.
After a couple of weeks of clueless nitwits yelling: “Keep the gummint’s hands off my Medicare!” make sure everybody realizes that Medicare is government-run, single-payer, “socialized” medicine, just like Canada. (And while they’re at it, that the VA is government-run, single-provider, “socialized” medicine, just like the UK.)
Say, “Well, obviously, you don’t want either of those things, so what say we abolish them?” See how that plays. If enough people aren’t yelling: “Medicare for everybody!” pretty soon, well then, the assholes win. But it’s worth trying.

I’m sorry to miss a good kerfuffle, but it was pretty clear that the story wasn’t “White House decides to cave” but rather “reporter too obtuse to realize that the White House was saying what it always has said.” They have consistently said that they have _ends_ they want the final bill to meet, and are open to many different kinds of _means_ by which those ends can be met. (So they say that IF Conrad’s Health Co-ops or, hell, David Vitter’s “erotic diaperings for all” plan HAPPENED to meet those criteria, they’d gladly consider those plans too.) But whatever it takes to get people up in arms, great.

My objective case won’t STFU about Ayn Rand.
My locative case just won’t shut up, period.
Maybe it needs a new latch.

Security geek alert: An outbreak of bad Latin grammar puns have has been reported. Isolate and apprehend suspects as quickly as possible to avoid contamination with the general population.
That is all.

I could not help myself and clicked through to the article. First, an assertion that perhaps the Prez is using his family members as political props. Then lots of wailing about how everyone picked on Sarah Failsalot. Then the admonition that no one should use family members as political snark ammo. No condemnation of fat, racist radio hosts who went after Chelsea Clinton, though. I am so suprised…

Yes, we need our public leaders to stop using their shared human experience to try to connect with citizens! Who needs leaders that have experienced health care crises making decisions on health care? give us leaders who know nothing about the lives of citizens!
There’s that empathy stuff again. Who needs it?

Look, we all have to understand, when Obama talked ab out his gramma, it was using a person as a prop.
When Sarah Palin brought Trig onstage, she was just thanking him for writing her speeches.

I did say it fell short. A sort of semblartive case could be made.
Anyways, it’s because you’re near me,
Funny how when you’re near me,
I’m in the mood to conjugate.

When the memo titled “from the Hamilton Burger office” hit my desk, I thought it was a prosecutive case, but when I found out about how strict a constuctionist he was, I determined that it clearly wasn’t originative. That’s when I recognized Miss Street’s handwriting – it was a Dellative case.

Sheesh, with the Latin, already! Next thing, someone is going suggest that Merkin Anglish evolved from some old, dead language. This is Merka, speak Merkan. You know, “When in Rome…” and all that.

beautimous. But don’t forget about that last sign on the right — not as comedic, but even more subversive.

DailyKos yesterday told liberals who were angry with Obama for backing down to shut the fuck up.
The tune has since changed in light of the fact that the Obama administration is pouring weaker tea by the minute.

All this Latin reminds me of a poem:
Kilmer 2005
The Winner:
Lamentation Upon Surveying the Destruction of a Battlefield
By Everett Patterson CC ’06
O Ares, cruelest of the gods!
Are man and thee somehow at odds?
That thou this curse of war should rain?
Upon these men before me lain?
O Zeus! O Jupiter on high!
That thou should let our young men die
And Hermes, swift as lightening struck
It’s not your fault, but you still suck.
Judeo-Christian God, you too!
Don’t think I have forgotten you!
Betrayed us, whom we once did praise,
So don’t start up with your “mysterious ways.”
O Death! O Death! O Deathy Death!
That thou should snatch this soldier’s breath!
Thou hast with bony finger stung
The diaphragm beneath the lung.
Nay never shall they breathe no more
Nor beat their heart at bosom’s core.
Their brains no waves; their veins no pulses
And in their esophagi no peristalsis!
O Vocative! O Vocative!
Not nom’nitave or locative!
That I, to distant concepts cry
To abstract nouns personified!
O Letter O, most foul vowel!
That thou should be the sound I howl,
Instead of “Ah!” or “oooh” or “Aye!”
But no, it’s “O,” and sometimes “Why?”
Why, ye gods of Rome and Greece?
Shall war and horror never cease?
O ye Roman gods and Greek
That I in the subjunctive mood should speak

What I hate is being in the transitive lounge with all the nominative cases going around and around on the carousel.
