You guys are much funnier than many of the improv “comedy” groups I have seen.

We’re also much smarter than many of the sammiches you’ve eaten, which is approximately the same level of accomplishment.

Could I be your agent? We could take this gig on the road. I’ll only take, um… 20% off the top.

You can be my agent’s agent. I get him so much work, he needs representation.

It occurs to me that the commenters at Sadly, No! would make a really great comedy ensemble. You guys are much funnier than many of the improv “comedy” groups I have seen.

Also, “he was long and wrong” is, well, just naughty.

Give Bush credit for one thing: At least he’s stayed out of sight since January.

Ahem, I thought I saw that loser last night on HDTV, standing on the fifty-yard line of the Cowboys’ stadium, watching their coin toss against the Giants. The Cowboys’ owner has apparently tired of being the most hated public figure in Tejas, methinks.

P.S. The Giants won the game. No one could have predicted…

Embarrassed scientists: We’re sorry about the big hole in the ground where Switzerland used to be but it’s a Hadron collider, what are you going to do when it’s wired wrong?
Anyway we are going to fill the hole with water and make a Euro swimming pool for everyone to enjoy. No belly flops allowed.
Shell shocked citizens Yay, you’re the best scientists ever!!.

Iraq boondoggle? $1T Plus.

Deregulation boondoggle? $1T more or less.

Only two wheels hanging over the abyss when your shift is done? Priceless.

Give Bush credit for one thing: At least he’s stayed out of sight since January. Either he’s finally developed a sense of shame, or he’s putting more effort into his memoirs than he did into any aspect of his presidency.

Or, more likely, he as usual doesn’t give a shit.

WHO SHIFTED MY PARADIGM?!

I’m devoted to the suction-cup dart gun. You get a real sense of accomplishment when you hit someone right on the end of the nose.

Back in the late eighties when the Japanese market was melting down there was a fantastic memoir by a fancy British rent-girl that was kept in a Tokyo penthouse by a local wheeler dealer. He was long and wrong and doing way too much blow and ended up making pillow forts and shooting suction cup darts at the TV.

Just so you know, RB McG.

Bush’s best initiatives often lacked a constituency outside the White House: … seeking alternatives to embryo-destroying research
Because crazy “snowflake babies” fundies and catholics are not “a constituency”, they are REAL AMERICANS.

The guy let a major US city drown for five days before he cut his vacation short.

It is so hard to find the lowest point in the Bush Presidency. It’s like trying to find the bottom of the Mariana Trench with a tape measure you bought at Home Depot.

a time when the political class was ready to abandon Iraq to the furies
Man can’t even spell “furries”.
