No, they really want to date narcissists, it's just hard to tell the difference sometimes.

The sensible ones get over it by 30 or so.

What are you, 15?

"I was told flat out by my (extremely blue, extremely against immunity) congressman’s staff that this was exactly why it was happening, and (again, just flat out told) it was (rough quote) “because the leadership thinks you, and people like you, learned a lesson from voting for Nader.” This is one of the congressmen on our side; one of the 30 who joined the Republicans to throw a wrench into the leadership’s PAA extension last year.

So, as I asked at Digby’s–Is this going to keep happening? Every time between now and November that the Republicans say “Boo”, will this be the response? Are we going to see the Blue Dogs pushing the Democratic leadership into capitulation on an Iran War Resolution?

How long does Obama plan to wait before fighting this dynamic? Or will we be treated to a firm pledge to conduct the Iran War with due oversight?

It's that nowhere else to go feeling that has me so frustrated. They are correct. I do not want to see a repeat of the 2000 election. They know it. And, they know, I know it. Checkmate."

Pardon me, I don't know why I thought of it, but does anyone remember the MASH episode where the wounded soldier insists he wants to commit suicide and Colonel Potter says basically 'alright kid, you want to do this, let's do it right' and holds the anesthesia mask to his face - of course the kid realizes he doesn't really want to die. Not a very good analogy, I realize, but...

I feel like the Dumbocrats are daring me to vote for Nader knowing it would just help McCain.

All right, Dumbocrats, if we're going to head towards the cliff anyway, let's speed up and see what happens, shall we? If we're going over anyway, let's have a real stuntman do the driving instead of a President Milktoast; who wants to bounce off every boulder all the way down into the canyon anyway? Let's just get the crash over with and see if there's anything left to salvage. You all can go ahead and blame folks like me if you want; all I'm saying is pick one pedal or the other because coasting is not an acceptable choice.

If Obama is going to give his opponents everything they want when their backs are basically against the wall, I wonder how he'll deal with assholes like Ahmadinejad or Putin.

So was this a cave or a double-cross? Big difference.

Just wondering...

Or somewhere in between? Can't figure which.

I must say that I generally find high heels and/or pointy shoes to be supremely stupid, and that I invariably find myself then judging the woman wearing them accordingly. Just not sexy, sorry. (or as my GF would say with a cruel lisp, 'thexthy')

Hopefully the kid will later think of them as her Minnie Mouse shoes (a critter who to me is definitely satirizing 'thexthy') and not buy into the vast stupidity being sold to her.

Anyway I think she needs the mouse ears to go with those.

Isn't producing it from sugar cane (like they do in Brazil) actually cheap, efficient, and a net energy gain? As opposed to the bad idea of making it (inefficiently) from (genetically engineered) corn?

Collecting methane from the back end of cattle who produce it because we feed them stuff they weren't meant to eat (corn) might be a better idea.

will probably be from Chile, since it's not even close to apple season.

"Russia or China engineer a human with abilities far beyond normal men? A superman if you will, bred to be a warrior and fight the battles of the 21st century."

Well, obviously the ethical thing to do would be to nuke 'em!

Yep, nuke 'em real good and let G-d sort 'em out.

I had to look that one up; it appears in the "Urban Dictionary" like so:

1. squeed - verb

When you laugh and pee comes out - I totally just squeed

2. squeed - (skw`eed) –noun

Marijuana that has been tainted with semen. Typically sold to douchebags. - I totally just sold that kid a bag of squeed! Alt: I ran out of weed, so I was forced to smoke my bag of squeed.

You must be using the first definition. Anyway, I have to ask - does Broadsheet have to be so relentlessly stupid so very often? Why is there this tendency to talk like a ten year old? It's not that I expect you to actually be serious (anymore), but how about writing like adults?

Now go change your pants before you set feminism back any further.

Advocates for the blind are up in arms because hybrids and electric cars don't make enough noise! I can (sort of) understand their concern, but I sure as hell hope that nothing is done to 'fix' the problem by making them noisier. Providing canine assistants for those who need them seems like the answer to that.

who's never getting my vote again.

We'd be doing the greatest good for the world by declaring all that 'extra' land off limits to humans.

On the other hand, anything that creates more rabid American consumers is definitely not doing everyone else any favors.

We're already way over our safe carrying capacity. Overpopulation elsewhere doesn't change that.

But, he's right about a lot of things. An awful lot. Hearing Gonzalez discuss their platform on the radio recently, it was shocking how much sense it made.

Oh well. Four years of the same ol' crap won't be so bad; it looks like we'll be getting the good flavor this time!

"Human's are the only known land animals that have sex strictly for pleasure"

Also, the plural of 'human' does not have an apostrophe.
