I love this sentence. It means something different each time I read it.

the flying Ayatollah lion

The lion’s a symbol of the old regime. If you find pre-revolution documents that have passed through government hands since then you’ll often find that the lion’s been markered out or otherwise defaced.

Mmm, this lady really knows how to make liberal-fascist Islamohomoabortionists smile, eh?

He would only say he could answer truthfully to not having used drugs in 15 years when asked in 1989.

Which (like his claim to many years of sobriety) is totally believable, much like his pledge to give up golf for Teh Troopz was.

Durrr. Silly me!

But why is the lion seem like a crude attempt to replicate Egyptian-style hieroglyphs?

I want to see people like Grayson just throw up their hands, in public, on tv, etc., and say, “You know, the hell with it. I can’t pretend to be bi-partisan. These people are liars and mercenaries. Show me a Republican party with half an ounce of concern for actual people and actual democratic values, and I’ll work with it. Until then, it’s just too demeaning to have to take them seriously.”

Grayson–need a speechwriter? Cheap?

You see, the statue of liberty writes “Free Iran” on the wall and the the flying Ayatollah lion loses its wings and the statue of liberty finally gets her wings. What’s not to understand. It seems pretty obvious to me.

Didn’t we get non-denials on cocaine and marijuana use, too? He refused to say outright whether he’d used pot “[b]ecause I don’t want some little kid doing what I tried,” and on using cocaine said “I haven’t denied anything.” He would only say he could answer truthfully to not having used drugs in 15 years when asked in 1989.

And what the fuck is this? Is there some sort of double-meaning to this that I don’t understand, or is he really that fucking dumb?

I am truly at a loss.

Cartoon Saul Alinsky is totally hot. I’d totally let him redistribute his income over my urban blight any day.

Yes.

“This has been another edition of simple answers…” OK, wrong blog, but it works.

But, having at least one representative willing to stand up and point to the turd in the punchbowl, which in Washington terms is the height of incivility, is a big step in the right direction. It’s the only way things like this ever get addressed.

Quite frankly, nothing makes sense anymore and evidently that’s just the way the ruling elites like it.

Except that her idea of the “ruling elites” probably includes ACORN and Reverend Wright.
