This is a Long Pajamas Media Post

so I'll quote one more item I found amusing (and stop):

This is a hallmark of the Netroots; they are bound and determined to bring about change [no!]. Working hand-in-hand with more traditional grassroots political organizations, and thanks to their decentralized structure, eager participation in fundraising, and ever-growing numbers, they stand a better-than-average chance of doing exactly that [good!]. Whoever has the money and the megaphones, as William Safire pointed out, will call the shots. As the relatively non-credentialed Greenwald showed through his pre-emptive destruction of John Brennan, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have the slightest grounding in the issues you rail over ['O'?!]. You merely need the highest hit-count.

Oh, Glenn, you're the sliver in the finger.

Whole Foods Something Meister

FTFY

Is this "Fixed That For You" or "Fuck This Fuck You"?

I'm not a fan of obscenity (!) but I wonder just what you're suggesting. I favor the former because I believe you're a repair-person.

Also, my dishwasher is broken. Can you be here between 6:00 and 6:00 o'clock, 2009?

Dude (dudette?), how do you find this stuff?

I'd give you another 'A' but I've given you so many I'm all out. Wanna a 'Z'?

I found an 'A' in my hip-pocket and I give it to you.

Original article: Bush is back!

I Didn't Read

the entire article (it's 3--something a.m., after all), but I read enough to say, yes, bring back the natural look. I'm a fan of women who look like women, curved, rounded (plump, if applicable) and--yes--hairy, since my fantasies have been reduced over time, like so much bernaise sauce. I vote for au natural!

GoodCelery!

bebop-o?!

I'm confused now (more than usual).

Derbig and I (or me and me) won't be happy with this turn of events. However, the more I/we think about it, the more I'm sure we/us have a broke "A" -antler in the pink pocket.

Wait, let me check. Yes, here it is. I give it to you (it's shocking, really, how many of these things I have).

Good day to you, GoodCelery! Hope all is well.

Simple Solution

"If you are looking under the hood, then you are calling me a liar," Griffin replied. "Because it means you don’t trust what I say is under the hood."

Get a new guy and let Griffin join the ever-expanding ranks of the unemployed. He and I can look for work together (and I'll bet my rezoom is bigger and better than his, which I can say as an unemployed physicist).

pow wow

Mr. SHERMAN. I know, as a matter of legislative history, it's Congress that writes bills, and I hope that any signing statement---- Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. No, we vote on bills. They write them.

I just saw this and thought, "Well, perhaps that's tongue-in-cheek," and then I thought, "I don't suppose it really matters."

This is What Puzzles Me

most: It seems hard to conceive that GM and Chrysler could not somehow manage to totter forward just one more month, when Obama will take office with a significantly strengthened Senate majority and presumably a much more potent bully-pulpit.

Jerks like McConnell and Co. will behave predictably but the automakers' position will be greatly strengthened come January.

Here's fellow Republican Senator DeMint (SC) on what he "thinks" will be the outcome if automakers are bailed out: We’re going to have riots. There are already people rioting because they’re losing their jobs when somebody else is being bailed out. The fairness of it becomes more and more evident as we go along. Because the auto companies may be hurting there are very few companies that aren’t hurting and are gonna hurt. http://thinkprogress.org/

What with these riots and screwy syntax, socialism is the least of our worries. Higher up on my personal list is the relative paucity of halfway intelligent elected officials.

Fine Job

Glenn. You know, you're nearly as handsome as me (if I can believe my mirror, that traitorous piece of godless, reflecting glass). And you wore a suit! A nice one at that.

something stinks

Are you gonna repair my dishwasher, or what?

I've been waiting by the phone all day.

Thursday, December 11, 2008 08:26 PM

bebop-o

I resent that. How'd you feel if I called you a blind bald duck?

I've been called this sort of thing, and so has Baldie McEagle. Look at it this way, if you were the Holy Roman Emperor, you could say, "I'm neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an emperor."

Clever response, no? (Well, no, but that won't stop the likes of you and me [and me, Derbig Offenhausen]).

xrandadu

something stinks: "You do seem to have a problem with my jokes." Oh, I thought you were being serious. If you were just joking around, you might work on your wit some..

Sure, but only after my appliance is repaired (by '09 at the latest).

I'll be awaiting your phone call, something stinks.

Oh, and don't forget those organic band aids (and yes, Whole Foods carries them).

sysprog, Don't Make Me Search

my pocket for that elusive 'A'. I already have lint-covered fingers.

The new administration will best bring about useful change by avoiding the Keynesian protective impulse that is so natural in times of turmoil. It was this same interventionist impulse – however altruistic in nature – which first led to the decline in credit standards, the ticking time bomb that eventually left the US economy in ruins. The market will adjust, given time and sensible governmental stimulus in the form of sweeping tax cuts.

I just love meaningless statements swathed in meaningless gravy. It's like Thanksgiving leftovers before the turkey goes bad. No wonder this guy writes for pajamas media. Really, we all should do the same and make some coin; all we need to do is flick our fingers to and fro over our lips while making the Pbbbt sound, then cash those checks.

I just saw you on Rachel Maddow, Glenn, and I'm a little in love with you now. Am I the only one?

No, but he won't return my calls. I lack a sufficient number of 'A's.

Or intelligent comments (despite my best 'A'fforts.)
