Yeah…? Well Ryan is Hot!
Biden laughing at the right-wing shitstorm he knows he just started.
Shorter entire bloody site:
- Biden is a poopyhead!
At some point, you’d expect one of them to look at themselves and their desperate pleading and just let it go. Maybe enjoy the baffling gains The Smiler made in his first debate*, but no.
Biden revealed the Village’s wonk as having no policy clothes and for that he must be destroyed. Because having eyes is Liberal Facism Double Plus Ungood!
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. Seriously, the entire fucking site. It’s wall to wall, wah Biden, wah, how dare Democrats campaign. If I was a hack and my “guy” was able to erase the political damage of stating half the country deserves to starve, not to mention months of complete incompetence, with one debate performance of complete fiction, I’d think I’d be cheering. But hey, whatever, right? We are aware of all Internet traditions.™
*Seriously, though, what the fuck America? The Smiler has hardly hidden what he is, what he’s going to do, and how badly he’s going to fuck every last one of us in the 99%. If a majority of Idiot America send him to the White House anyways because “black man scary” then we fucking deserve the hell we will receive.
Where is everybody?
Up to no good, I’ll bet.
Turd!
Also too, the angles at which Ryan isn’t kinda funny looking are not many. I think Biden was sitting at one of the other angles.
Trying to go back to sleep.
~
I don’t get the orgasms on the Right about Ryan being handsome. Good body, to be sure. But he looks like Eddie Munster with a bad haircut. Joe is infinitely more manly and good looking.
The real question is “Who is everybody?”
Everybody is Spartacus
I’m new here. Sorry about the turd.
Biden moves the facial muscles around his eyes when he smiles. Comparing with Ryan’s photograph in the previous post, we see that this is clearly not the right way to do it.
I’m new here. Sorry about the turd.
Oh, that’s just a Baby Ruthless floating in the pool.

Also, mucho thanks for getting Geddy Lee off the top of my screen. Thank you, thank you.

It has been clear for some time that Republicans, and media personalities generally, think Democrats are cheating anytime they don’t curl into a fetal ball.
…then we fucking deserve the hell we will receive.
Absolutely Goddamn Right.
Fox psychiatrist Ablow wants Biden Examined for Dementia
Dr. Keith Ablow provides his services to Fox regularly, making remote diagnoses of the president, etc. Here, some Fox co-hosts deviate from the script by saying that Biden has a solid command of facts, whereas “people with dementia can’t remember.” Good point!
Ablow: “Not knowing every fact is not required to diagnose dementia. And I’m not saying he has it, I’m saying you put it on the differential … You want his alcohol level.” (Why? Biden wasn’t slurring, and was fully in control.)
Put it on the differential — that’s doctor talk for “I’m a shameless, pitiful hack.”
I’d like Dr Ablow examined for an ego the size of all outdoors. If he’s going to take up all that space I want him to pay some damn rent.
Why would anyone vote for the Smiler? It’s simple marketing. You gotta give the right credit for constantly bombarding the public with the image of lazy welfare recipients, who only get by because of the generosity of the government, and are actually too lazy to find work that’s well paid (we know every job is well paid in their universe). So, it becomes a matter of principle which trumps every other negative aspect of the “take from the poor and middle class and give to the rich” policy. As long as a right wing candidate promises to cut taxes, it’s all good, because in their world that means they are also cutting the welfare spending.
But he looks like Eddie Munster with a bad haircut.
I think he looks like a young Mr. Bean.
You know that scene in the Mr. Bean movie where he sneezes on Whistler’s Mother and tries to wipe the snot off and totally cocks it up?
I can TOTALLY see Paul Ryan doing that.
It’s simple stupidity. People believe that cutting taxes is deficit neutral, they believe that decreasing revenue in direct taxation will stimulate the economy to the point that revenues will increase because of increased economic activity. It’s easy to believe when you don’t have any education in economics and think that some fuckhead in a suit that actually wants the job of being president is anything other than a lying egomaniac–the type of person that I wouldn’t be sad about seeing exterminated.
When I was a small child, I would have sworn that the sun was in motion based on hearing the terms sunrise and sunset and my own uninformed observations. Same principle applies here.
Convo w/ wingnut pal (he’s a volunteer for Rmoney/Lyin’Ryan):
“He was fuckin *laughing*! That’s what you guys call ‘capable and competent’?”
“Well, don’t you laugh when you see a joke embodied in a human?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Ryan’s a guy who went to school on the Government’s cuff, hasn’t had a meaningful job outside of Government, and does nothing but denigrate ‘the Government’. He’s a Catholic that wants to ignore all the human suffering going on, right now, in America, caused by actions his party initiated, and he wants to stand on his ‘religious values’. The irony, that’s the funny part!”
“But Biden was laughing! That was so fucked up and stupid!”
Cognitive disconnect in Colorado. My other head-scratch moment is seeing ‘Veterans for Romney’ signs and stickers. I moved from Boulder (Republik of!) to Longmont (Land of Mountain Williams- the high-elevation version of Hill Billies). Shocking contrast in a ten mile drive.
Ever notice how the double-R logo kinda looks like a Rolls-Royce logo? I guess it means we get to buy them (the 1%) another Rolls-Royce, and we (the 99%) get to get run over by it, and also, have to wash off the mess afterward, and pay for any damages.

Yup.
You lie!
Many people have been convinced that the Deficit is the cause of all our economic woes, and the Deficit is in turn caused by Welfare and Unemployment and Medicare and Foodstamps and Social Security. Oh, and also by public education and probably the Post Office, too!
But NOT the “defense” industry, oh no no no!
Therefore, we must slash and burn and erase with acid and privatize all, and more of these “communist socialist entitlements”, and everything will return to 1950’s type affluence and power and world-wide fear/respect. Yep. That’ll do it.
Its working in Europe, isn’t it?
… That just laughing at wing nuts would piss ’em off so bad?
Too bad no Dem ever thought of this before Biden..
If only they were Sadly, No readers…
Many people have been convinced that the Deficit is the cause of all our economic woes…
That’s the message we are immersed in, 24-7, by our corporate media, KWillow.
And all the serious people in both parties agree.
So other than Paul Krugman, Artrios, and a few other voices in the wilderness, there’s not much promotion of the truth: We have an unemployment crisis, not a deficit crisis.
And all this austerity bullshit will do nothing but make it worse.
~
Whaddya mean the Smiler has hardly hidden who he is? The reason why we have such a meth epidemic in this country is due to self-medication for the massive ADD case that we collectively seem to have. Remember the etch-a-sketch comment? Well, he did it and it’s working so far: as far as people know, the Smiler has a plan to cut middle class taxes, spend more money on national security, single-handedly save Medicare (without cutting that 716$Billion that Obama cut) and reduce our deficit. And if Obama really believed that Romney was lying, why didn’t he say so in the debate? (yes … someone actually put it that way)
Meanwhile, because Obama promised to end partisanship yet he was a partisan who didn’t “bend over backward” (according to William Bennett, that’s part of the McConnell quote the liberal media are not reporting, which entire quote shows that it was indeed Obama and not the GOP who was responsible for all that partisanship) to appease the GOP, he’s just another promise breaking politician.
The Smiler may have not always hidden who he is, but he did manage to pull off his etch-a-sketch without anybody calling him on it (except Biden, who doesn’t count, because he was smiling and being rude). And, with our short attention spans (my students can’t even manage to remember organic chemistry by the time they take biochemistry a year later), who’ll remember that, at one point, the Smiler was not hiding who he is?
>Good body, to be sure.<
Not that good, he has chicken legs… one of those guys who spends all his time working chest/arms.
Why should we not laugh at unserious people? Romney and Ryan are unserious. It’s really as simple as that.

The right has managed to convince the Howard Roarks and Dagney Taggarts of the country that they should vote for James Taggart and Wesley Mouch over someone who actually has managed to pull himself up by his bootstraps and get stuff done, even if his chosen instrument for getting stuff done happens to be the government.
You know that scene in the Mr. Bean movie
Yes. Yes I do. I confess to actually paying money to see that in the theater.
The only defense I have is that drugs and alcohol were involved.
I actually found parts of that movie amusing and no I’m not proud of that.

While at the same time bombarding the public with the image that Obama so wrecked the economy that there aren’t any jobs.
(taps cognitive dissonance detector with screwdriver – hey is this thing working?)
Study proves the obvious.
I completely missed the opportunity in the last thread to say that the only thing Ryan’s “workout” photos proves is that in addition to being a lying sociopath, he’s also a narcissist, too. Not an uncommon combination.
Grateful this is still on topic.
I’m not sure why the Dumbocrats aren’t using the comedy goldmine Romney gave them in the Repig debates…
They can also play Gingrich calling him a liar and and the millions of other nasty things he said about Romney.
Study proves the obvious. – tsam
And here I used to think back when I was in college that by offering all the young ladies I had the hots for HPV vaccine they’d suddenly get all promiscuous and sleep with me. No wonder it never worked for me to walk up to some hawt gal and say “here, have some HPV vaccine … ya wanna get promiscuous with me now?”
How about a room full of assholes booing a gay soldier? A room full of assholes encouraging Paul to let a person die because he didn’t have health insurance? Anything Bachmann has ever said…Anything Rick Perry ever said. Santorum? (The guy, not his namesake, ewwww)…
This is why Dumbocrats always lose. They don’t hold repigs responsible for pandering to ignorant, racist, bigoted morons.
This fucking singular obsession with demographics and identity politics makes them lose sight of the bigger issues and completely miss golden opportunities to bash the enemies’ brains out with their own fucking words.
No wonder it never worked for me to walk up to some hawt gal and say “here, have some HPV vaccine … ya wanna get promiscuous with me now?”
I hear ya, bro. I used to try slipping a condom in the ladies’ purses, thinking that having access to birth control would make them hot and horny, but IT DOESN’T. I feel like I’ve been lied to about how stupid women are…so disillusioned…
Sure.
But on the other hand, they get lucrative jobs at big corporations after their careers in “public service” (aka selling out their voters to those big corporations) are done.

Interesting take on the current sub-topic

“He was fuckin *laughing*! That’s what you guys call ‘capable and competent’?”
…
“But Biden was laughing! That was so fucked up and stupid!”
Capable and competent people aren’t allowed to laugh at the ridiculous? Maybe Biden should have shot Ryan in the face, that’s apparently OK with these assholes. And Christ on a cracker, how is merely laughing at Paul Ryan’s obvious idiocy any ruder than calling Obama a lying child?
tigris – IOKIYAR
How quickly we forget.

Now that’s not fair. There are plenty of stupid women out there…but how horny would you have to be to fuck a republican?. I mean, I’d sooner rub up against a clothes dryer.
Study proves the obvious.
I expected better of Science. They need to re-work that vaccine.
I’d sooner rub up against a clothes dryer.

A mango from GayPutzRiot:

(Click the link, it’s all sciencey and shit… C’mon, you know you want to… All the cool kids are doing it…)
but how horny would you have to be to fuck a republican
This calls for a flow chart, which I shall not be arsed to produce, but a narrative looks something like this:
Would you?
A) Is she hot?—>Is it just meaningless sex that will never result in any kind of relationship?—>Are you a dude?—>Yes, hit that shit.
B) Is she hot?—>Run away fast and never look back.
C) Is she hot?—>Is there any chance that you might have to discuss anything besides how she likes it when you spank her ass?—>Run away fast and never look back…
I’d sooner rub up against a clothes dryer.
There’s a good chance that someone in the world is doing that right now… Intentionally unbalanced load, ya know.
It is time to remind Americans in general and Democrats in particular that one of the most effective politicians since the mid-point of the last century was Lyndon Johnson, a true son-of-a-bitch. Like or loathe his policies, he got things done. It’s not that nice guys finish last, it that they often don’t get to finish at all because assholes grind them into bloody spots in the mud.
I thought that was the washing machine’s spin cycle…?
Unbalancing your load.
Answers for the flow chart, derp.
A: Yes, yes, yes
B: No
C: Yes, yes
But on the other hand, they get lucrative jobs at big corporations after their careers in “public service” (aka selling out their voters to those big corporations) are done.
Yeah, I guess we all forget what the real goal is…
Is it kind of like the where to pee flowchart?
Okay, which one of you is Another_Jeremy at GayPutzRiot?
Fuck a Republican? Just normally horny. But then female repugs are obliged to be hot when the party is full of neanderthal males, and obliged to be extreme in their writing and speech to get past the resulting chauvanism. Therefore, they’d have to agree to wear a ball gag. And perhaps a collar and leash.
Heck, I’d even do Malkin or Coulter if they’d consent to that getup.
Fuck the Republicans – before they fuck you.
All personnel strongly encouraged to check this expanded list of peanut butter and peanut product recall list
I noticed that Kirkland, Costco’s main brand is on there–so check it out..
Eeew, ick. You are a sick, sick, person.
No amount of kink makes either of those two acceptable in any way.
Heck, I’d even do Malkin or Coulter if they’d consent to that getup.
Blech. I’d still need them to be hot–like SE Cupp or Megyn Kelly or Dana Loesch type hot. Milkin’ and Coultergeist don’t even make the beer/meth goggle cut off line.
Jeebus, what is wrong with you people?
It is hereby decreed: “Hot” is not just about appearance.
Yeah, so the “decree” is written on a post-it note with a beer stain on it. So what?
If I got myself drunk enough to be able to do Malkin or Coulter I’d be way too drunk to do it anyways.
Megyn Kelly has a crooked nose.
I would love to see S E w/out all the glam make-up.
It is hereby decreed: “Hot” is not just about appearance.
That’s why the flowchart says that if there is any possibility of further contact, you RUN AWAY.
Hot is strictly about appearance when you’re just looking to hit it and disappear.

I guess now that you mention it…I never noticed before
Vagina; It’s a food product, essentially.

Jeebus, what is wrong with you people?
You trying to tell me that if you and Megyn were in a bar drunk, knew there wouldn’t be anything beyond a one night stand, that you’d be worried about her being an incorrigible TV news hack? This would stop you from taking her to a hotel room and doing the deed? REALLY?
Oh come on, people. If the perpetuation of the human race depended on people being not only hot but agreeable as a prerequisite for mating, we would have died out long ago.
Ms Malkin is a reasonably attractive person, when she’s not sneering and spewing vitriol. Thus the ball gag condition. And Coulter, I’m still not convinced that she isn’t just an attention whore who found a schtick that worked and doubled-down on it.
Besides, if I was able to get Malkin and/or Coulter to wear a ball gag and dog collar, I’d be taking pictures…
Malkin and Coulter are both too boney and gaunt for me. I like girls to have some curves.
Holy fake boobs, Batman!
I know, I know, I’m catty. So much artifice makes me sad.
Study proves the obvious.
What it also proves is that we live in a country so scientifically and sexually backward that studies like that are even needed in the first place.
I like girls with money.
Yes, rilly.
If appearance and willingness were the only criteria I’d have gotten myself in a ton of trouble over the years.
Do. Not. Want.
Remember Pup’s axiom.
Not sure if implanted or getting some Secret help from Victoria…
If I got myself drunk enough to be able to do Malkin or Coulter I’d be way too drunk to do it anyways.
Yeah, and the period getting to that point with either one would be agonizing.
Maytag or Kenmore?
The perpetuation of the human race does not depend on that anymore though, that’s for damn sure.
FYWP: Pup’s axiom
Perpetuation of the human race is a bad idea.
If appearance and willingness were the only criteria I’d have gotten myself in a ton of trouble over the years.
Yeah, can back that up with plenty of embarassing anecdotes. Impulse control is NOT one of my virtues.
Tsam, and photoshop, too, prolly. Looks like they straightened her nose in that one picture.
I’m sorry…I’ve always thought she was weird/plain. I’m sure all the dudes here think she’s Hawt.
So after launching Groove Salad’s stream today, Winamp begged me to upgrade, again, so I did, and poked around their site a little only to discover that Alex Jones’s Inforwars Radio Program is Winamp’s most listened-to stream right now. WTF??
From the front page of infowars.com today:
Many, many Poe’s Law mangos on that site, including a nice collage of riot police, flames, and a blissful Obama.
I suspect that many of Alex Jones’ listeners view him as freak show entertainment and don’t take that shit seriously…
InfoWars is seriously a threat to the republic. Talk about an exemplar of the Gish Gallop, holy fuck.
I’m sure all the dudes here think she’s Hawt.
Until today, I wouldn’t have been able to recognize Megyn Kelly in a line-up. She’s a Fox News type, right? So, I am at least one dude who does not thing she’s Hawt.
I will confess (not for the first time) to a moderate admiration of Sipp E. Cupp, on purely aesthetic grounds. I am not made of stone.
I’m actually a little scared about how the wingnuts are gonna act when Obama wins. So I understand where Alex is coming from.
I’m guessing she has money.
Sipp E. Cupp has the hawt nerdy glasses thing going for her. But I know a few smart, liberal women that also have that look, and are way hotter in the appearance department too. I have a rough life.
VS, I think we just have to accept we’ve got us a couple man-hoars here, and I for one will not judge a fellow liberal no matter what a disgusting filthy pervert he is.

Good. I would never want you to judge me.
I’m really astonished how many of you are to unable to decouple your opinion of someone’s personality from your perceptions of their appearance.
Here’s an example: Cat Deeley is tall and lanky and has a crooked nose, too, but she’s built quite a successful career on her appearance. Her gig MCing a reality/contest/game show came later. But she also seems like one of the sweetest, least offensive people on the planet, so yeah, I expect few objections to her here.
(And for the record, I’d tap that like a keg of doppelbok at Octoberfest.)
WELL IF SEX FOR MONEY MAKES ME A WHORE then I am a very unsuccessful whore. BOO HOO.
I think Cat Deeley is adorable.
I for one will not judge a fellow liberal no matter what a disgusting filthy pervert he is
Well at least we’re open and honest about our perversions.
And I’m tempted to point out your blatant political bias here, too, but since it’s working in my favor I’ll just leave it as a backhanded implication out of my gratitude.
Cat Deeley is a liberal, as far as anyone seems to know.
Oh totally, he said, as he made sure he stood right in front of the basement door.
WELL IF SEX FOR MONEY MAKES ME A WHORE then I am a very unsuccessful whore. BOO HOO.
Well, by that measure, I imagine most us are poor…unless I’ve been posting at political snark blog hosted by the Bunny Ranch (?) this whole time.

Also, I just keep my perviness out in the open. All others repress it, but don’t try to deny that it exists. Some of us just don’t believe there is such a thing as “polite company” and don’t really care if someone takes some personal umbrage at the fact that we aren’t scared to talk about how much we like to hump.

This is why Dumbocrats always lose. They don’t hold repigs responsible for pandering to ignorant, racist, bigoted morons.
This fucking singular obsession with demographics and identity politics makes them lose sight of the bigger issues – team
Yes and no.
Yes: not only do the Dems suffer because they don’t call the GOP on their “stuff” (it’s an Irish word, like malarky), but they also suffer because their obsession with demos and identity politics make them seem like they only care about “the rights of icky people to do icky things”.
OTOH, to the extent that the Dems do call the GOoPers out on their stuff, “even the liberal media says that the Democrats are being shrill and partisan”. While simony may tip the calculations of many Democrats to the “not calling the GOP on their malarky” side, the calculations are there because there are very real political costs for Democrats who do call a spade a spade in regards to the GOoPers.
Could you imagine the “but, but Paul isn’t the GOP candidate, Moderate(TM) Mittens is” and “the Democrats should stick to the issues and not make politics so personal and shrill” and “the Democrats are just being partisan” malarky storm if the Democrats actually did as you suggest? And people would believe it … because “there are extremists on all sides — the Democrats have them too — and the truth is somewhere in the middle, so the Democrats are just being hypocrites for attacking the GOP”.
I’m not saying the Democrats shouldn’t grow gonads and go on the offensive, but it will have a cost.

… That just laughing at wing nuts would piss ‘em off so bad?
For people who’re that profoundly insecure and take themselves that seriously, yeah, it’s kind of a death blow. Which is why I think mocking and trolling them is pretty much the only appropriate response at this point.
For people who’re that profoundly insecure and take themselves that seriously, yeah, it’s kind of a death blow. Which is why I think mocking and trolling them is pretty much the only appropriate response at this point.
Somebody the other day (at Balloon Juice? Here? I don’t know, just that it was online and had nothing to do with my day job) mentioned seeing a kind of “talk to the candidate about your concerns” meeting. The concerns raised by the Republican crowd were all fictional: Solyndra, Fast & Furious, death panels and so on. These people genuinely do not live in the actual universe we inhabit. They live in a parallel one of their own making that has only peripheral connections to ours. There’s an old saying that you can’t reason somebody out of a position he didn’t reason himself into. Pointing and laughing is likely to work better, I think.
Oh yes … one more point to add to my mini-rant: part of the issue is that the we have a strong anti-little-d-democratic strain in our political culture so that anyone perceived as being “political” (as attacks on the GOP will be perceived as being) will actually loose political points for it, as people will need fainting couches if politicians actually seem to want to get ambition.
The problem is that it’s very hard to maintain a healthy, Madisonian system when political ambition is frowned upon: if it’s better not to be seen as being too ambitious, how do you make ambition counteract ambition? We saw this especially during the Bush years when politicians knew that if they opposed Bush & CO’s ambitions, they (the opposing politicians) would be tarred and feathered for their “ambition” (“don’t play politics in a time of war, we need to be united!”) … so ambition was not made to counteract ambition but to go along with it. And look at what ended up happening?
At least Mitt Romney’s success with his etch-a-sketch (besides indicating his lack of principals) indicates that there is a market for the solutions he is now claiming to propose, which solutions are actually pretty liberal compared to the Village consensus as it stands. Of course, if Obama does win but governs in such a way as to work to obtain the results Romney claims for his plans, Obama’ll be denounced as a radical socialist. And people will forget their support of Romney’s “plans” and join in the denunciation.

In other words, all their issues are about “getting liberals” and “showing the liberals.” They have no actual concerns beyond that. God, so depressing. Sick people.
Romney = Lincoln?
One of the oddest things about that is that for many of us progressives part of the issue with Obama is that he’s trying to be Lincoln in a time that calls for an FDR or LBJ. So, is this yet another odd example of right-wing projection (or I guess more precisely the inverse of projection)?
It’s a natural. White peoples is ENSLAVED.
Romney will free the white man from the bondage of the KenyanHitler.
I don’t think Obama is trying to be Lincoln.
He’s trying to be Democratic Reagan.
THAT’S the problem.
As for the pukes, accusing Democratic Reagan of being Stalin-Mao-Marx just helps them move the ball deeper down the field, in spite of the epic failure of their agenda for most Americans.
George Carlin nailed this years ago.
But it’s simply too painful for most U.S. Americans to admit it.

Romney = Lincoln?
He’s going to invade the South?
Mind you, Glenn Beck has probably never actually read anything ever said by Lincoln:
“I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me, and causes
me to tremble for the safety of our country. Corporations have been
enthroned, an era of corruption will follow, and the money power of the
country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of
the people, until wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed.”
I think the real reason they’re pissed is because real-world Biden is not quite the gaffe-prone boob-Biden of their dreams. Real Biden hurt them by shaking their worldview.
Ah, but I recently heard Mitt say almost that exact same thing. Only, hedidn’t call it a crisis, he called it… oh what was it? A Bain? Oh, a boon!
Lincoln had to go to war to hugely expand federal power. So let me see..STATES’ RIGHTS OMFG is today’s mantra, as it was for the same crowd of subhuman pre-fascists who were willing to kill family members to defend slavery, but they still think they’re the party of Lincoln and want to take a dopey lightweight dimwit and try to compare him to Lincoln.
Got it. Cool plan, bro.

Like or loathe his policies, he got things done. It’s not that nice guys finish last, it that they often don’t get to finish at all because assholes grind them into bloody spots in the mud.
He had the advantage of a completely different political system, though. Political parties were more decentralized and divided, machine politics were stronger, the liberal coalition was stronger, the right-wing money-machine/primarying-system/alternate-universe didn’t exist yet (certainly not in the same scale), moneyed interests in general have subverted a lot more of the political system since then… Not saying Obama shouldn’t hit hard and play dirty, just that there are limits to what any Democrat could accomplish here compared to what Johnson could do.
I’d also point out that what Johnson got done was in a two-year window between 1964 and 1966 when there were enough liberals in Congress to help him pass all these things. Before that, you had a couple decades where the Conservative Coalition had a stranglehold on Congress and used it to shoot down Truman’s Fair Deal and either shoot down or water down all kinds of civil rights proposals throughout the fifties. After that, well, you got the rise of the Nixon/Reagan coalition, leading all the way down to today…
Shorter me: passing liberal shit is fucking hard even in the best of possible times.
Romney would totally suck at killing vampires.
Shorter me: passing liberal shit is fucking hard even in the best of possible times.
Especially when your Democratic President has no intention of passing any liberal policies.

Speaking of teeth, I’m going to the dentist tomorrow because my son (accidentally) hit me in the face with a rock-hard acrylic glass, and broke the bottom third off my front right toof. Sounds ugly, right? But I like to call it “Tweaker Chic.”

The government’s “weapons” include: domestic drones that violate women’s private property rights; unconstitutional taxes and regulations that make it nearly impossible for women to achieve their dreams; healthcare legislation that forces women to overpay for subpar healthcare and the Federal Reserve’s unconstitutional monetary policies that inflate women’s money.

It’s those damn monthly vaginal inspections, makes it hard to get anything done.
“Federal Reserve’s unconstitutional monetary policies that inflate women’s money.”

I was not aware that they had perfected vaginal probe delivery systems to quite that degree.
Yes, they’re called ROVEs for short. Remotely Operated Vaginal Examinations.
Then there’s the GROPE (Gratuitous Remotely Operated Proctological Exam).

Well, when the competition is “Pawn Stars” and “Honey Boo Boo”….
I have no real idea. I don’t have or see cable TV, and haven’t even bothered building my coat hangar DV antenna (yes, it exists! make.com), so the only TV is see is what I can get for free on hulu, and Up w/Chris Hayes, online.

You’re not missing much. Sometimes I wonder why I even pay for cable.
I guess so I can watch “Law & Order – Parking Enforcement Division”.
I had some analog rabbit ears which pulled in most of the local channels (not the ABC affiliate, as its broadcast mast is directly line-of-sight behind the CBS affiliate’s where I live), but I haven’t been arsed to try to make them work where I’ve now located the 15″ TV.

Here is an ad for Duck Duck Go.
my son (accidentally) hit me in the face with a rock-hard acrylic glass, and broke the bottom third off my front right toof.
Not too long ago, my darling son, having finishes the bunch of grapes I gave him for a snack, threw the stems at my face, and having excellent timing, hit me right in the eye. Some blood vessel in said eye broke and my eye filled up with blood. Apparently this is not a serious problem, but it looks scary as hell.
Anyways, the interesting part is that everybody I spoke to at the ER, three nurses and two doctors, after I told them what happened, immediately asked in a very serious voice, “How old is he?”. I imagine that if I had said any number larger than, say seven or so, I would have tripped some kind of domestic abuse macro and the shot would really have hit the fan.
Yes. The “shot” was going to hit the fan. One of the more obscure expressions we use here in the land of ice and snow. Fuckin’ phone.
From the NRO Jay Nordlinger link:
“Boy, does Ryan sound like he’s from Wisconsin! I like it when people sound like where they’re from. (Sometimes, Obama doesn’t sound like he’s from Honolulu.)”
Boy, this is three or four kinds of dumb.
I’m sure he just meant Obama should say “Mahalo” more often and this has nothing to do with him being, you know…
Cueing up the Zeppelin now…

Get one of those UHF loop antennas (It’s what I use; almost all the digital channels are UHF.) or search YouTube for “how to make an HD antenna.” Involves nails, a board & a couple of clothes hangers.
I pay just $24 a month for “Antenna Service” from my cable company. It’s Clear QAM of all the local channels, both SD and HD, and in Los Angeles, that’s quite a few. Plus there are a few cable channels like Cartoon Network, Discovery, etc. Combine that with a $200 one time investment for a PC tuner+DVR software connected to an old 21″ iMac that makes for a quite servicable TV since our den is so small.
For premium channel stuff like Sons of Anarchy and Game of Thrones, etc, bittorrent is a (nearly) ideal solution. (The bittorrent clients are the weak link… I’m using Miro for now, but it’s not perfect.)
It’s really the best deal around. I design and build microwave/UHF antennas and receive sites for a living, and I could do that for my home TV, too. But to build a comparable homegrown service would cost me the better part of 10 grand, plus a metric fuckton of grief. And the last thing I want to do when I come home is troubleshoot my own fucking system because Mrs bughunter can’t watch So You Think You Can Dance. $24/mo for cable and $29/mo for 3Mb/s internet is peanuts for the convenience.
Bughunter: TWC? ‘Cause the only cable channels I get on QAM are TCM & the Movie Channel, which seems to have become both free & expectedly crummy, & SPEED. Bravo was available for a while, but no more.
Do you get all the OTA channels? I only get the ones that TWC retransmits anyway.
Seconding the plug for duckduckgo.com … I rarely use Google any more.
MB: Charter. I’m no fan, but they’re the only choice.
The only OTA channel I don’t get is the local PBS station in SD. But I do get their HD feed.
Ahhh.
DUH?
I’m not an anti-porn crusader by any stretch of the imagination (or anus) but I think if I happened upon one such unicorn of a man, I’d probably think he was pretty neat.
I really dug it. Great cast, great acting and soapy without being completely over-the-top. (Although, ftr, I like over-the-top.)
from vs’ link:
By ‘watched pornography’ they mean ‘fapped to naughty bits on a computer screen.”
And don’t believe those numbers… for single men it’s more like three times a day.
The only number I do believe is the 20 minutes for married men. Most porn scenes come in right at 20 minutes in length, unless the producer thinks he’s either an Arteest (de Renzy) or a Ladies Man (Siffredi).
Herp… I meant to say “There’s a reason most porn scenes come in right at 20 minutes…” Derp.
I’m sure he just meant Obama should say “Mahalo” more often and this has nothing to do with him being, you know…
My big sis was born in
KenyaHonolulu. I don’t believe I’ve ever heard her say Mahalo. When we were little and I was being obnoxious she would threaten to give me a “real” Hawaiian punch though.Hmm. I’m apparently under-porn’d, far behind the curve you might say. I have much catching up to do.
Prof Lajeunesse said pornography did not have a negative effect on men’s sexuality.
“Not one subject had a pathological sexuality,” he said. “In fact, all of their sexual practices were quite conventional.
If 100% of men watched porn, wouldn’t that define what was “conventional?” And how would one ever determine effect, negative or positive, with no control group for comparison?

uberbuddy got just as nasty as gary and repeatedly told everyone sitting there that i ‘drink the kool-aid’
I wonder how many people now using that phrase know its origin. I’m guessing the guy up in your grill didn’t know.
A little while back, Paul Ryan felt he needed to distance himself from his buddy, Todd Akin: “His statements were outrageous, over the pail. I don’t know anybody who would agree with that. Rape is rape period, end of story.” Oh, Paul, you don’t believe that, and even if you did, you’ve explained that the circumstances surrounding conception just don’t matter vis-a-vis abortion.
Anyway, I got a kick out of Ryan’s mangling of “beyond the pale” here. I’m not surprised when people don’t know what that expression means — I didn’t — but I know which words it involves, i.e. not “pail.” But remember, Paul Ryan is really smart.
To be fair, he was being interviewed, and could have meant “pale,” but if so, why’d he get the other word in the cliche wrong?
“uberconservativemissourisynodlutheran”
I really, really don’t feel like getting any work done (I’m kinda sick-ish right now and just need to veg to let my immune system do its thang), so I looked up missouri synod lutheran on wikipedia and started clicking around. Do you know that 16% of MO synod lutherans are pro-choice? 44% of them think we should accept homosexuality? 68% think that there is actually more than one way to interpret their religious teachings? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelical_Lutheran_Church_in_America#ELCA_and_LCMS)
The culture wars are over and the right wing lost. Our current GOP core really are a bunch of holdover reactionaries fighting a long lost cause. The problem is that so many people are committed to a pseudo-Nichomachean to ethics and morality that, even when faced with a choice between a nominally liberal party of centrists and a party of reactionary cavaliers that somehow have the religious fervour (if not the moral sense) of Puritans, they still will hold the truth to be somehow in the middle of those two “extremes” and will thus fail to see the GOP’s core for what it is but rather will see it as a mere mirror image of the Democratic “base”.

At the villain supply web site (that apparently poses a threat so don’t click on it) under the Misc. Evil category they have a robotic Ayn Rand. The fine print at the bottom contains this warning: *software tends to be rather buggy. For instance, your Randroid® may oppose immigration, yet be an immigrant herself. She may oppose infidelity, yet cheat on her husband. She may espouse individuality, yet believe that only those who follow her are individuals. She may oppose the control of individuals by organizations, yet laud corporate power. These bugs can not be repaired.
When we were little and I was being obnoxious she would threaten to give me a “real” Hawaiian punch though.
I would love it if in tonight’s debate, Obama turned toward Romney with a smile and said, “Say! How about a nice Hawaiian Punch?”

The Randroid(TM) has incredible power over people. It can convince Howard Roark and John Galt to vote for Gail Wynand and James Taggart and can convince Gail Wynand that he’s a regular Howard Roark and can convince James Taggart that he’s a real John Galt.
Obama is a Mulatto so his IQ is probably 85-90.
Yes, because people with room temperature IQs often enter Harvard and edit and later become president of the Harvard Law Review. Happens all the time. His graduation magna cum laude was clearly affirmative action at work.

So, trollypants, when did you edit the HLR?
All this negative talk about affirmative action works wonderfully with people who either have not gone to college, or did nothing of substance while there; also, people who have not really worked challenging jobs. (Holding a supposedly challenging job is not enough.)
Good luck finishing a PhD (for ex.) if the only thing you have going for you is minority status … but then, that’s not how admissions work.
These are the same dumbfucks who cry foul early and often if they are asked to perform or adapt in school or on the job.

Anyone who believes that a statistical average (mean? median?) can tell you anything at all about an individual, is either a) of far below average intelligence, b) being dishonest, c) repeating a fallacy he heard somewhere else and liked because it made him feel smart to repeat it, or d) all of the above.
Not to mention that saying “it’s just the facts,” is attempting to evade providing any support for the premise that “American Blacks” have lower than average intelligence, much less any willingness to discuss that IQ only measures one’s ability to take a test, as any psychologist will admit.
In other words,
Shorter Anonymous Troll: “Obama’s just a dumb nigger because SHUT UP LIBTARDS.”
It’s been said before, and it’ll be said again: if Obama is a product of affirmative action, then that is itself and argument FOR affirmative action. We all may have our disagreements with Obama, and we all can say with confidence how LBJ or FDR would have been able to do far better making mincemeat of the GOP opposition and effectively promoting a liberal/progressive policy agenda. But Obama is hardly the worst or least effective leader around. If affirmative action means that the Obamas of the world get ahead, even if it means that a few Bushes or Romneys don’t get into their first choice schools, I’d say that’s an unequivocally good thing, wouldn’t you?
Boring troll is boring
Bush and Romney were legacy admissions.

Except for the Harvard part. (It was Yale.)
Thomas has built his entire conservative cred out of self-hatred. Telling himself, and everyone else who will listen, that he wasn’t good enough to get a private-sector job and it’s all because he should never have been let into Yale in the first place is the keystone of that cred. It would be simply pathetic and contemptible, except that he now is in a position to inflict his neuroses on the rest of the nation for decades to come.

oh…i see…you apparently got your facts from ‘stereotypes r us’! hey, guess what? i’m smarter than A LOT of people of all races and gender and also dumber than A LOT of people of all races and gender! also, iq doesn’t really have shit to do with how ‘smart’ or capable a person is…
Homogeneity? I believe that would describe Anonymous’ family tree. You know the kind, the ones with no branches.

And you’ll notice Singapore is a police-state dictatorship (though a very pleasant one), political democracy is impossible there due to racial tensions.
You mentioned me first as comparable to Sweden, trollboy.
Do I have racial tension or not? Make up your freckin’ mind.
We’re certainly entertaining this person… hard to tell if he’s genuine or just having a bit of fun with us.
But if he is genuine, then he’s entirely blind to how his foregone conclusion (Obama’s dumb because he’s black, and therefore must have been given special treatment) is a result of his racism, and how it forces his logic into knots to avoid dealing with any contradictory real world facts… not just those he’s cherrypicked or invented.
When they’re laid out plain and simple in front of him, he resorts to projection (e.g., “looks like someone’s irritated because facts don’t square with his worldview”) and changing the subject.
(I’m using the male pronoun out of convenience only… and assuming it’s a person out of benevolence.)
The simple fact that he ranks races by intelligence, ignoring mountains of evidence that there’s no correlation by defining intelligence in his own narrow-minded fashion, proves that he’s a simple bigot, and should not be allowed to make any decisions more important than what to have for breakfast.
Lest we forget.

For that matter the same could be true if you substitute “European History”. For a good chunk of European history, it was an ethnically and religiously homogeneous hellhole. And if you dared be religiously different, it could get you killed.
Who has two thumbs and a new toof? THIS GAL!
The real danger in the United States is the trend of low-IQ southern redneck whites intermarrying with mestizos (especially those from Mexico and Central America). They’re creating a new underclass featuring aspects of both white trash and Latin culture that are less than ideal for a country in the 21st Century. The especially scary thing is that it is both lower-class white women AND white men at about equal rates.
Oy. Sorry, hate to repeat the troll’s talking points, but one of the more fascinating things I never used to notice about your baseline wingnuts is the amount of contempt they have for “white trash” and working-class whites. Like, in general. Not even just those who vote Democrat or join unions or are on welfare, all of them. It’s not quite as bad as the contempt for Other People, but it’s often damn close.
(Too young to pay attention in the 1990s, but I’m told the fact that Clinton rose from such a background was brought up often as a point against him).
This country is class-ridden out the wazoo even if you completely factor race and other “identity” points out.

And yet they accuse us urbane liberal types of looking down on working-class whites and being out of touch with real Americans. Chalk it up to “it’s always projection with the wingnuts” I guess
But since you asked, women on average have higher IQs than men,
no, i didn’t ask…i threw gender in there because i was sure a scientimethic mind such as yours would take that into consideration as well…
So, there are fewer females who are total retards (when is the last time you meant a TRULY stupid female? but you can name males off the top of your head I bet) but also fewer geniuses.
and this doesn’t even begin to make sense…i know a couple of truly stupid females, but i also have a daughter who is retarded…how does that fit in with your statistics…also, my daughter can write more clearly than you…

Yeah, LC knocked the bottom third off my front tooth. Hubby kept calling me “Arkansas Chic.” And then I punched him. (Not really.)
When I was the at the store a few days back, I was talking to the bag boy about how LC will eat a piece of dog food off the floor without hesitation, but will eye a piece of macaroni suspiciously for a half hour before putting it in his mouth. And I was trying not to smile…but I couldn’t help myself. So now everyone at the Stop and Shop thinks I’m a toothless hillbilly.

Fact: Voter fraud contributs to less than 1% of 1% of votes cast.
Fact: GOP has gone to extraordinary lengths to make it more difficult for legitimate voters to cast ballots in youth, residents of Democratic voting precincts, and minorities.
Wingnut Reality: Democrats are Going to Steal The Election!
Second Derp of the day.
Aborted rewrite read: for legitimate voters to cast ballots in youth, residents of Democratic voting precincts, and minorities.
That should have been “for legitimate voters to cast ballots in precincts with a majority of youths, Democrats, and minorities.”

They have to have something to say if they lose (and this suggests they think they will). “We lost the election because black people voted and that shouldn’t be okay” might just kill them with moderates, so they run with this instead.

Cheater D’souza’s not-wife: Time and again, they urged us to recognize human’s natural “animal instincts” in relation to traditional morality and therefore, to reject traditional institutions such as marriage as outdated because now these intellectual elites had things like biology and sociology, things like women’s studies, gender studies, and critical race theory, to back them up. They pointed to infidelity or infamous sexual desire surveys (conducted by homosexuals)[vi] among traditionally married couples to “prove” their theses. Limb by limb, they tore the traditional family to shreds until they reduced us to the shining bastion of zoological (but even animals aren’t this bad and do not depend on the state to care for them)cesspool equality that we have now in every American ghetto and which is seeping out into the middle and upper classes in less animated ways.

“Binders full of women” reflects an executive mentality that sees people and their lives as abstractions. Women aren’t their resumes. Romney’s mindset is soulless enough that his phrasing is telling.
No-one could have predicted that Romney is claiming credit for someone else’s work and lying about the idea being his.

So….is it safe for me to go home from Poland?
The Right-wing fixation on whether Obama called Benghazi an act of terror illustrates their desperation and small-mindedness. Romney hasn’t lost his macabre conviction that he can sink Obama if people will just understand this issue. He came off very badly, like a hyena being clubbed away from a corpse.
Obama said “No act of terror …” in the Rose Garden: close enough for most folks. Hypothetically, what if he had not? So what. My takeaway is that the president and secretary of state are trying to do their jobs, perhaps not perfectly. Meanwhile, Romney, his party, and his movement play wierd games that are increasingly incomprehensible to outsiders. This sub-game is distasteful at the very least, but Romney and his camp seem oblivious. Obama seems to know, and knows how to help viewers grasp why they’re ill-at-ease with the Ghoul Hyena’s shenanigans.
So….is it safe for me to go home from Poland?
But we have binders full of women here. Veritable binders. What are the wonders of The Zakopane Mountains, compared with Mitzy, the Clown-Boy?
“Binders full of women”? Most people just call it their porn stash.
The tell was Mitzy saying, “binders of women”, then quickly following with “binders full of women”.

Probably depends on which airline you’re thinking of flying.

I’d check if you’re thinking about Air New Zealand
The Civil Aviation Authority says the Air Force put civilian lives at risk if it sent dangerous oxygen-generating cylinders on an Air New Zealand passenger jet without permission. It did send them.
Anyone notice Mitten’s repeated inability to pronounce “legislation”? It kept coming out “leddislation” or he could have been referring to “lettuce station” or “lesbo nation”. I’m sure it was Obama’s fault from some ooga booga spell or something.
The Obama Ooga Booga Spells issue has been DELIBERATELY underplayed by the Lamestream media.

That’s what caused the ValueJet fire and crash some years back.
The Air Force were well aware of that, which is why they sent the gear as cargo on a domestic passenger jet rather than risk their own transport.
Apparently they have sent dangerous goods on multiple occasions, and have had internal inquiries to ensure that it won’t happen again until the next time.
They did not get around to informing the airline or the civilian air-safety authorities about the mistakes or the existence of any inquiries, due to “different staff within the Air Force thinking that others were doing it”.

You should always carry a jar of various biting insects. Then let them bite you after they’ve been irradiated. Everyone knows that’s how you acquire super powers.
hey major, don’t you have to wear dosimetry anyway because of the radiation up at those altitudes?
d00d on facebook is trying to tell me that the corporate owners of olive garden and red lobster aren’t wealthy…
Well, they’re publicly traded so he may be right that the majority of owners aren’t wealthy, but I have a feeling that’s not what he meant. The largest direct holder is the CEO, Clarence Otis jr, and you can see for yourself if he’s wealthy here. Spoiler for those who can’t be bothered to follow: YEP.
Everyone knows that’s how you acquire super powers.
Or a nasty rash.
hey major, don’t you have to wear dosimetry anyway because of the radiation up at those altitudes?
No, but a lot of people do worry about cumulative radiation exposure at high altitudes.
That’s why a lot of people don’t want to fly our 777s because we fly them very long distances (14 hours) at high altitudes.
I just don’t want to sit an airplane that long. I’ve done it in bombers (16.5 hours) and tankers and don’t care to repeat the experience.

Up yours, Mittens. I’ve created more jobs than your private enterprises have ever even thought of creating. Heck, I’ve created more jobs than the number of jobs you’ve eliminated. And you like firing people. You really, really do.
BTW, ever heard of something called the internet? The interstate highway system? You think private enterprise would have built those?

Binders. I always think of the Roy Rogers restaurant ad from some years back with a guy doing an impression of George C. Scott doing Patton. He keeps saying the other roast beef place has BINDERS! the word is used a number of times. It was a very good ad.
“Binders” is also slang for “brakes”.
For example – Romney’s plan would put the binders on the economy.

The whole thing is worth a read.
From the link
MS. CROWLEY: Governor, if you want to reply just quickly to this, please.
MR. ROMNEY: Yeah, I — I certainly do. I certainly do. I — I think it’s interesting the president just said something which is that on the day after the attack, he went in the Rose Garden and said that this was an act of terror. You said in the Rose Garden the day after the attack it was an act of terror. It was not a spontaneous demonstration.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Please proceed.
MR. ROMNEY: Is that what you’re saying?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Please proceed, Governor.
MR. ROMNEY: I — I — I want to make sure we get that for the record, because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Get the transcript.
MS. CROWLEY: It — he did in fact, sir.
So let me — let me call it an act of terrorism — (inaudible) —
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Can you say that a little louder, Candy? (Laughter, applause.)
MS. CROWLEY: He did call it an act of terror.
By timestamp it looks like Krugman said it first but I’m still giving credit to Mrs. Polly at Rumproast.
Matt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor’s second son, told how his father would present his children with a stick of butter, telling them “it’s so rotten you have to smell it”. When they leaned down he would gleefully shove their faces into the plate.
Mr Romney apparently repeated the trick recently with one of his grandsons, pushing the shocked child’s head into a platter of whipped cream.
Digby has more on this, forcefully illustrating that Romney plays by a different set of rules, whether in business and taxes, in breaking the rules of the debate, or in “jokes” on children: “He does like pranks but he doesn’t like to get pranked. We’ve learned that the hard way,” [his son] Josh said.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Please proceed.
And he did! That’s a self-pwn, that is.
Wow, what a charming fellow.
And this is the republican response to bindermindergate. Wotta buncha dumbasses.
A better link for the GOP “empty binder” response.
Jonah Loadedhosen on NPR this morning: [my paraphrase] Obama is trying to sell the idea that raising taxes _causes_ growth and I don’t think it’s true.
Jon Chait was very gentle, he did not say “Jonah you stupid twit.”
Don’t get caught with an empty binder!
Look out folks, the GOP’s gonna “own” binders. They’re flipping the script!
Americans just love them some binders. So many happy memories! … Nothing’s manlier than a thick binder, just oozing data. ‘Cept maybe one in each hand, Mitt-style. That’s right, he can palm a 4″-thick binder and work it no problem all up and down the boardroom … Mitt’ll pretend to draw your attention to some fine print, and just shove your face down in that binder.

Ok, which one of you fuckers is Louis Black in real life?
You should always carry a jar of various biting insects. Then let them bite you after they’ve been irradiated. Everyone knows that’s how you acquire super powers.
Radioactive bed-bugs, for instance, give you the ability to crawl across teh ceiling and drop on people.
the ties that bind?
You only need four of those, one at each corner of the bed. Silk is best.
Radioactive bedbugs, for instance, give you the ability to crawl across teh ceiling and drop on people.
Wouldn’t that be the ability to hide in the mattress, crawl out and bite people while they sleep?
Yes, I think Smut is thinking of radioactive drop bears.
I heard a cheap shot that amused me:

Silly tigris, drop bears are an Australian creature and would New Zealanders want some Australian animal in their stores? NO.
Fun! I gots me 88 wimmins in mah binder!
69 here. YA RLY.
From K-man’s blog:
“First, there’s the notion that posturing and talking tough is what it’s all about.”
Obama needs to find a good way to hit this point home during the foreign policy debate: something along the lines of

“Obama campaign co-chair Eva Longoria promotes vulgar anti-Romney tweet”
Heh, she called Romney a racist/misogynist twat. Good on her. Jormalism at its finest.
(Mountain Meadows Massacre, 9/11/1857. NEVER FORGET.)
Those were overzealous subordinates.
That may be a Big Hollywood pickup.
Here you can see how awful and vulgar it is:

“Binders full of women” isn’t quite as good as “There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe,” but it’s good.
FACTCHECK:
If you can find a book by Eando Binder containing more than one female character — let alone being full of them — you’re doing well.
Those books include “Adam Link, Robot”, and “The Mind from Outer Space”, so it may well be that Romney has read them.
Gene Simmons put his tongue back in his mouth long enough to say that?
Expect more hate from Hollywood, from wholly untrue attacks on Romney’s stance on women’s issues to flat out vulgarities
oh. em. gee. not flat out vulgarities!!! whatever shall we do…naughty, naughty liberals!

i don’t even know…they’re really grasping here…
but yeah, it’s okay for a vulgar, marginally talented former rockstar to use the term ‘piss poor’ regarding the sitting president, but the sky is supposed to fall when a hollywood bimbo calls romney a twat? how does no one in wingnuttia not notice the double standard? is there some short of short between their eyeballs and their brains?
my other favorite here, is that gene simmons…star of a reality show all about his family passes judgement on obama being a family man…granted it’s positive, but really, when you parade your whole goddamn family life onto the teevee, you should really just stfu about everything except what a sell-out media whore you are…

I did things. I got stuff done. The last president from Mitt Romney’s party said he’d get bin Laden, dead or alive. Under my administration, we got bin Laden …
How about:
It’s not hard to write this shit. If the Obama team wanted to, they could do just as well in a hell of a lot fewer words, perfect for televised debate.
Why aren’t they?
I’ve become resigned to the apparent fact that the job of the Dems is to lose to the Republicans, in a sort of Kabuki Government that implements the designs of the plutocrats, and return the US to the social condition that’s dominated human history: a few very, very wealthy powerful elite and the rest economic slaves.
wow…according to local hard-thinker joe soucheray, candy crowley’s performance ‘was wholly predictable…she had to insert herself in the fray and came out looking foolish.’
I’ve never bothered wondering, do Mormons have their own slang?
Yes, & it’s clean!!!
This one’s fun too, but requires some knowledge of their bullshit.
bbkf, you forgot:
OMG!!! Michelle Obama broke the rules!! She clapped!! What a cheater!
wow…according to local hard-thinker joe soucheray, candy crowley’s performance ‘was wholly predictable…she had to insert herself in the fray and came out looking foolish.’ – bbkf
Actually, I was indeed expecting Candy Crowley to insert herself into the fray. And I was expecting her to come out looking foolish (e.g. by backing Mittens up or criticizing Obama and it turning out that she got her facts wrong). But actually she didn’t come out looking foolish.
Anyway, in between the traffic reports (which were useless because they said nothing of the horrendous traffic in Queens plaza spilling back onto Queens Blvd and Van Dam nor did they say anything about the accident on the lower level of the 59th St. Bridge or the traffic on 2nd and 3rd that was backing everything up in the first place), I caught the local news radio stations (both subsidiaries of Infinity Broadcasting) trying to spin like mad so they could say “both sides were equally wrong” about the whole “Obama didn’t talk tough about terrorimists” flap.
bbkf, you forgot:
OMG!!! Michelle Obama broke the rules!! She clapped!! What a cheater!
omg is right! i cannot believe she has been allowed to live!
i am srsly ready to barf right now…joe soucheray has this schtick about ‘garage logic’ whereby real men and women are at home in the hardware store and have a large cylinder index which means they have a lot of big ass motorized vehicles, cuz you know, gas guzzling and pollution are cool! but anyway, one of his ‘tests’ is who would he most likely see in the hardware store…NOT obama! and his twerpy little dipshit producer was all, ‘oh ya! you would definitely see mitt in the hardware store!’ i have to walk away from radio before i throw up my manicotti and latte…
In Re: Michelle Obama. My wife noticed that Ann Romney and Michelle Obama were dressed in a very similar manner and Romney this time was showing off her arms. Meanwhile, all I could manage to notice was that Michelle Obama’s dress was, er, well, shall we say, very flattering to her posterior.
who would he most likely see in the hardware store…NOT obama! and his twerpy little dipshit producer was all, ‘oh ya! you would definitely see mitt in the hardware store!’
WTF? Next time they’ll be saying that people would rather have a beer with Romney.
FWIW, I can imagine running into Obama in the hardware store: “Sasha and Malia just broke the upstairs sink. I told Michelle that the White House is a full service facility and a plumber would come by in the morning to fix it, but she said ‘wait for the plumber, are you kidding me? we need the sink fixed now … anyway that plumber is probably one of Nixon’s plumbers and he’ll just put bugs in the West Wing while he’s wandering around the grounds’, so that’s why I am here in the hardware store in SE DC at 11:00 PM … I told Michelle we should just wait, but no …”
I can’t imagine running into Romney in any similar situation.

What is this strange place? Some of these items look vaguely familiar — like I might have seen them in my peripheral vision at some time. Oooh, look, one of those switch thingies that I see the servants use to adjust the illumination in my houses! I always wonder where they got those. I wonder if they have to install new ones every few weeks? Or perhaps they use the same magic as Joseph Smith’s special hat? I shall pray on it and hope for the answers.

Yes, & it’s clean!!!
I worked in a place where profanity was an actionable offense, and I had a potty mouth, so I had to adjust… fortunately, I could turn to Hebrew and Spanish, often mixing the two:

Punyeta!
All very satisfying, for various reasons.

Well, one thing about the debate is that Romney’s weaseling on contraception probably turned off some of his base (although he completely mischaracterized what Obama’s plan does: how is it that Republicans think Obama has just mandated all woman receive mandatory contraception rather than that the policy does exactly what Romney says he wants — to make it so the choice is the choice of the woman and not her employer or the government?) with him giving qualified support to letting women (rather than their employers) choose.
Romney also managed to remind us in the liberal base why, as less than optimal as Obama has been, Romney can’t be president — with his remarks about making us more competitive with China and making our business environment more favorable: i.e. he wants to lower our wages and working conditions to be comparable with those in China!
OTOH, Romney was right: Obama doesn’t know how to improve the economy. Obama (like Romney) clearly believes that titans of industry are the ones that can turn the economy around. I understand how Romney might not realize some of the history of how our middle class grew (although his father’s spinning uncontrollably in the Celestial Kingdom), but Obama should be smart enough to know that government — from the New Deal through the GI bill, etc. — played a key role, beyond merely assuring people follow the rules and such (although basic fairness is important in creating a middle class).
OMG!!! Michelle Obama broke the rules!! She clapped!! What a cheater!
First comment over there:
“The Obama’s play by their own rules – Chicago rules.”

this was just one of the many moments wherein mittens caused me to stare agape at teh teevee…cuz mitt flat out said that all women should have access to contraception but obama’s wrong because he says all women should have access to contraception…
“The Obama’s play by their own rules – Chicago rules.”

In defense of the traffic reporters, the weather reporters didn’t mention that a giant ball of plasma undergoing fusion 93 million miles away was having an effect on the weather.
holy cats! nowhere in the two links provided by gocart, is there anything about clapping during the debate…michelle clearly makes her own goddamn rules and is truly BADfuckingASS!

Oy Carumba!
I’m so totally stealing that bughunter.
I spent my early years in a Jewish neighborhood on Lawn Guy Land.
I was probably 10 years old before I realized we weren’t Jewish.
That’s OK, Kong. I stole it from Bart Simpson.
I think he only uttered it in one episode.
Oh, and it helps if you say ‘carumba’ in a yiddish accent.
Chicago Rules:
Spade in the hole.
I was probably 10 years old before I realized we weren’t Jewish.
And what would you be playing with at age 10 that told you that?
Hmm, I was told punyeta means jagoff or jerkoff. Google tells me that I’ve been laboring under a serious misconception.
That’s what I thought it meant, too… maybe spelled puñeta?
Many definitions, Tagalog or Spanish.
Aye. Marimba.
Maddow just dropped a “sadly, no” while discussing epistemic closure on the right.
(She didn’t use the words “epistemic closure”. Big deal. Or we could explode and gnash our teeth for a month on our TV networks and opinion columns because the sacred words weren’t uttered in our preferred manner. Either way.)
She was pretty pissed the whole segment. Angry, not drunk. The first person to figure out how to monetize the discontent about ineffectual centrist news networks without politicizing it will make a billion dollars.

Putz!

Not that I’m 100% “In”, but you can fight better if you hold some of the high ground. We fought from the swamps for almost a decade of the Peevish Dullard and President Cheney. Don’t want to go back.

Another tax break for the rich? You know I sure don’t mind it
I have binders full of women and exemptions in a bucket
