This, in Ohiopolitico's own words, says it all:

"Obama and Congress should not rush into it until they have a plan that makes sense.... We can't afford higher premiums or increased taxes for the next 10 years while he gets his act together."

So they shouldn't rush, but we can't afford to wait.

Yeah... that makes a hell of a lot of sense.

Sad thing is, there are probably a lot of Americans out there who 'think' this way. Which is no doubt why this country is so fucked up.

McNamara took a lot of negative press over the years, and did not quit because of it.

Let that be a lesson to Palin and Palinistas everywhere. Robert McNamara was tougher than Sara Palin.

(And let this be the taunt, this notice of her complete lack of fortitude, be issued to Palinistas across the land: quitters are not winners.)

Draft-dodger Rush applauds office-quitter Palin. Two self-pitying grandiose personalities with martyr complexes - a match made in some hell or other. Well, their alliance pretty much illustrates in bright lights what she's up to now: a Rush-backed coup for control of the party in order to set its ideological direction for 2012. A formidable force of ignorance and entitlement. Anyone who thinks that combination can't win in the national elections has been asleep for 30... no, 40... wait... 50 years... or more... hang on...

She's going for Steele's job. Rush will back her move. Her sharp teeth are bared, her ravenous appetite for men's souls now at its apex. The moon is full: all fear Sarah Barracuda!

A guy who was almost President told me that in 1992.

Until Americans stop lionizing cops, pretending they are heroes, and/or crying for more cops as an answer to crime, then the police will continue to murder, torture, and otherwise harm Americans with impunity. Even in our times of government fiscal crisis, many urban police departments are having their numbers and budgets enhanced while teachers are fired, hospitals are closed, and roads go without repair. you wanna stop taser-torture? Begin by demanding a reduction in the number of police in your community. An armed police force is the antithesis of liberty.

When are you going to learn that taxes pay for roads and other utilities, police and public safety services, public schools, clean air and water, and a number of other things you no doubt enjoy and take advantage of daily? None of these things - not a single one - would be provided by any private employers or corporations. When are you going to learn that businesses pay taxes - usually at lower rates than individuals - because they not only enjoy these publicly-funded services but also profit from their existence? When are you going to learn that survey after survey demonstrates soundly that businesses rarely, if ever, leave a state due to high taxes but instead transfer locations in order to exploit cheap labor? When are you going to learn that it was your employer who screwed you, and the government you so blithely despise provides the unemployment you are now living on, the food stamps you're going to need? When are you going to learn that if a public health care options exhibited, you could take care of your family by taking a temporary job without benefits? When are you or any of your fellow dirt-dumb anti-American loudmouths going to learn anything at all, in fact, that will lift you about the ignorant, knee-jerk, childish, anti-government reactions you exhibit, as well as your parroting of the fact-free talking points of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh?

The truly unlovely truth is that this fool is both a bigot and a coward, just as those dead-headed twenty-percenters who hate the black president and still pay fealty to the ignorant chimp who preceded. No amount of evidence will sway this clown from the one little quote his masters have shown him; no doubt he is also a religious fundamentalist, who clings to a few Bible quotes as if they were the source of all wisdom. Lacking the cleverness to discern things for himself, he demonstrates that like all puppets he can only respond from manipulation from his powerful overlords rather than his own self-will. He knows nothing and is little more than a parrot who can recite from rote the things he has been told. Rather than treating such buffoons as adults with patient and reasonable argument, we should instead respond to them as children - for they are not much more than that. Nurtured in the womb of ignorance, raised in the ennui of public education, these poor ignorant American fools are to be pitied. They are intellectually malnourished, and their poor, wracked, weakened minds cannot take the powerful vitamin of lovely truth.

You said it times twenty.

He's doing a pretty good job at feigning interest. But for this statement, he'd have a compelling case that he's only interested in discussing the finer points of law and judicial ethics:

"Bill Clinton had an affair with an intern. All the descisions he made as president are now called into question, amirite?"

This statement, coupled with his abject refusal to engage in the argument (it's nto about guilt, but about a fair trial) reveals his trollish intent.

Do not feed the troll, no matter how cleverly deveptive it may be.

The "Which one is more batshit" ticket?
