I sure miss Sparky...
They could have used some lubricant...
@DrEast
Congress had sent a Mental Health Parity bill to the Senate which had not picked it up. They just copied the bailout congress scuttled on Monday onto that and added the pork in and...that's how this bill became a law (and why our assholes hurt right now).
@DrEast
Wouldn't have to be.
Let's say your the Congress and you really want to change our national symbol from the Bald Eagle to, let us say, a lamb. You send me (the Senate) a bill proposing that.
I'm aware of how keenly you want this to happen, but you have denied my previous legislative attempt to make it legal to relieve little old ladies of their pocketbooks (a program I need money for the administrative costs of such a program).
It's just tit-for-tat (or tits-up for tat, if you will), but Reid's move did have a legally bogus odor to it.
for Shrub to wipe his ass on
Nice analogs...
I couldn't help myself:
"...Increasingly quite frothy, even by the standards of jackals with end-stage rabies."
...so we all get to be like the baby on the commercial who indulges in trading, then pukes...regardless of whether or not we choose to do so...
"I’d be curious what Salon readers think about how the debate will play out visually."
Here is something from Slate:

"McCain's age and war injures, which make him look vulnerable, will put him at a disadvantage in the Nashville setting. McCain makes a step look like a lurch, a smile look like a grimace. Any attempt to ape Clinton by entering Obama's space for political effect will only make McCain look doddering. But if he simply stands there, the supple, feline Obama will upstage him with his vitality, even when standing still.
A robot just can't dance with a cat. "
Love that last line...
Is to have electrodes clamped to their scrotums (if McCain's can be found). That way, anytime one of them is disingenuous or otherwise opts against substantive commentary, Brokaw can just shock the piss out of them...
Or a cage match!
He's at Jomo Kenyatta waiting for a plane already, so they couldn't have done much to him.
there is that rumour about the Palins having the full backing of the Rigelian Horde. Just sayin'
Off topic, but interesting wire:
Oskar Garcia,AP:
"Oct 7th, 2008 | LAS VEGAS -- Nevada state authorities are raiding the Las Vegas headquarters of an organization that works to get low-income people to vote.
A Nevada secretary of state's office spokesman said Tuesday that investigators are looking for evidence of voter fraud at the office of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also called ACORN.
No one was at the ACORN office when state agents arrived with a search warrant and began carting records and documents away.
Secretary of State spokesman Bob Walsh says ACORN is accused of submitting multiple voter registrations with false and duplicate names.
The raid comes two months after state and federal authorities formed a task force to pursue election-fraud allegations in Nevada."

When they came for the walnuts, I did nothing, because I was not a walnut...
Yeah, I think that's it too. Nice brownshirt tactic there.
Great, we all have to learn Portuguese.
I think your question translates this way:
"Seus netos trabalham para uma râ preguiçosa para baixo pelas docas que empilham pneus."
But I just started studying the language an hour ago...
I will probably be passed out on potato vodka before it even starts, but I will be drinking in my dreams...
'gotta love the smell of Negroponte in the morning.
is what I hope Barack and Michelle wear once they are ensconced in the white house. This would help to quicken the right wing bastards choking on their own bile. And I mean Angela Davis, Pam Grier/Foxy Brown up in their Kool-Aid BIG ol' naturals...
Henceforth, I only wear daishikis...
Um...well, I might have got that wrong, btw. I'm sure there was nothing in the original translation request about tires or frogs.
But hey, they've got over 10,000 fucking intransitive verbs! And not a single word for "doggone".
Note: Hillary lost.
While it might be an interesting pursuit to research "30 years" of what Obama's been up to...how interesting can his twenties have been? We all had our twenties - questioning, listless, uninteresting second decades. Nothing we did in our twenties is germane to our 30s or 40s...this is the effect of time on the maturation process.
Let's hope someone in the crowd has ordinance...
Perhaps we should all listen to a little bit of Nina Simone tonight to put it all in perspektiv...
Potato Vodka in the world...
So, after I dig the holes in the back yard, I'm wondering if I should use pickle, mayonnaise or peanut-butter jars to bury what little cashh is left, or is it best to use a diversified approach and use all three?
Thank goodness I'm in the PNW where we've still got trees and squirrels for fuel and pie...I'm gonna' keep an eye on my neighbor's potbellied pork-belly futures too...
I wonder what would happen if we closed all our markets, gathered the CEOs/CFO's and regulators and pols together in one place, and set them to the task of figuring out (given a time-frame within which to do it) where all the money and debt is/isn't, then settled on a plan for starting things back up at a realistic point. Then once they had a plan, explain it to the nation and hold a national referendum on either letting them follow through with the plan or introducing them to old Mr. Plank?
Had to sell the matress to send little Vurlene to waitressin' school...
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
