GravatarYes, I'm here.


GravatarSo three posts in half an hour now constitutes light posting?


GravatarDamn, first in a long time.

Have I said lately how much I love you people?


GravatarSo.

The light's gonna do all the posting?


Gravatarand let's see how many speak out about Herr Roberts:

Roberts Scoffed at Promotion for O'Connor

WASHINGTON - As a lawyer in the Reagan White House, John Roberts scoffed at the notion of elevating Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor to chief justice as a way to close a political gender gap, calling it a "crass political consideration."

On another topic, Roberts, who was nominated as a justice by President Bush last month, advised the White House to strike language from a description of a housing bill that referred to the "fundamental right to be free from discrimination." He said that "there of course is no such right."

replied on the thread below. I love the profile shot! So...regal!

oops, gotta retrieve the laundry from the dryer.


GravatarI find it very considerate that Atrios posts autobot threads.


GravatarAtrios is on the road so he probably doesn't have his cats with him.

500 comment threads are just killing me.


GravatarBecause they lack coherent plans for how to govern the country, the Democrats have become captive of the most shrill voices in the party,

GravatarShorter wingnut: we fucked up; it's up to Mommy and Daddy to bail us out.

Sorry, kids, but part of growing up is learning to live with the consequences of your decisions. No go to your room and don't come out until Iraq is a thriving democracy!


GravatarNTodd--have I told you lately that you're handsome?

Thought not.

But Sam is


Gravatar But Ignatius was looking for the Democratic agenda, and it's no wonder he didn't find it under the "people" tab on the DNC site because about an inch to its left he would have found the agena tab.

Is it in the wingnut job description that you must be either naturally or willfully stupid? Jeepers H. Christmas!

GravatarAlright! Who the hell turned on the humidity?!

I would like to throw myself into about 5 feet of snow right now.


GravatarThe Republicans have spray painted the house, doused it in gasoline, lit a match, and are now saying democrats are shrill for saying it was fucking stupid. Oh, and the democrats need to solve the burning house issue or they aren't serious, so we should leave the fuckers who torched the place in charge.

This is the thinking that an Ivy League degree gives to the elite media wankers? They should have saved their money and gotten diplomas by mail.


GravatarOh goodie! Can I discriminate against that jackoff Roberts? Oh please oh pretty please. I would love to refuse to serve him food in a restaurant, make him ride at the back of the bus, call him "boy", call his wife a wench, make his kids go to substandard schools. Let the discrimination begin.


GravatarSo, are we waiting for a news dump this evening. And I don't like a 66 page proofreading job given to me at 3:30 p.m. on a Friday afternoon.


GravatarRmj, I can totally get on board with the frustration thingee.


Watching the continuing disintegration of one large and one small country tends to do that.


GravatarBush is as likable as the smell of sulphur.

Bush, Malkin, Coulter, O'Reilly and Santorum are walking ipecac.


GravatarWhy are we even paying attention to this? Why do we continue to let them frame the conversation, and set the terms of the debate?

I hate to bring the bad news to wingerville, (not) but the days of being on the defence are long gone. Loseman and the rest of the mushy middle need to get message loud and clear.

Quick, what's the Republican agenda ?

Ask 10 republicans and you'll get 10 different answers.

Everyone already knows what the two parties stand for.
Why do the Dems have to define their agenda before people take them seriously, when the GOP can't do it ?

Well, I am anti-war, but most people find even that sentiment "extreme" and "shrill."

GravatarI don't think that Bush actually has that many friends. He wasn't liked in college because he is an arrogant snot and was only tolerated because he was an politician's spoiled brat. Few people in TANG have come out to tell what a great guy he is. He is just Poppy Bush's obnoxious ass son who everybody has to be polite to because of Poppy. If he had been born in a poor or working class family, he would have been in and out of jail several times, been married about three times, been in rehab four times, and would have had his ass seriously kicked so many times that you lose count.


Gravatarbigvic, yep, he's feeling pretty good these days.


jdw, he's slowed down some... but he's still eating a lot, and growing like a weed. I think he's going to turn into a monstrous cat.

You are being unfair.

That's what all the good boys in Texas do over beers.

GravatarBecause they lack coherent plans for how to govern the country, the Democrats have become captive of the most shrill voices in the party..

This implies that the GOP has a coherent plan to govern the country.

So did the Nazis, that didn't make them right.

Besides, how do you build a coherent plan to govern the country when George Bush fucks it up more and more each day in unfathomable ways ?

"Just Go Along with George Bush" is far from a "coherent" plan in my opinion.

GravatarIgnatius's column brought to mind an interview by Terri Gross with Helen Thomas on Fresh Air (I couldn't find a transcript, but I did find a link for playing the audio of the interview here.)

At one point, Gross asked Thomas what it was like when the White House Press Corps got downright nasty with Scotty at a gaggle after it became clear that Scotty had lied to them.

Thomas said "it was like they suddenly awoke from a coma."

It's clear not all of the journalismists have awakened yet.


GravatarJohn Roberts is really turning into quite the charmer.


GravatarHas there been any news of the con caravan that was going to Crawford to demonstrate against Sheehan? They were supposed to present 35 bedsheets signed by supporters of Bush to the lazy little man. I don't know if they were wearing them.


GravatarWatertiger's in charge until we get back.

Gravatarhey were supposed to present 35 bedsheets signed by supporters of Bush to the lazy little man.

It was too hard to write over the cum stains.

sorry, had to say that.


GravatarScrew Yglesias - TBogg nails it:

David Ignatius has an interesting column today that has some good points interspersed with the type of shallow commentary that you might expect from a person who gets all of their information from a combination of USA Today, talk radio, and Leno. He concludes thusly:

"America doesn't need more of the angry, embittered shouting matches that take place on talk radio and in the blogosphere. It needs a real opposition party that will lay out new strategies: How to withdraw from Iraq without creating even more instability? How to engage a world that mistrusts and often hates America? How to rebuild global institutions and contain Islamic extremism? How to put the U.S. economy back into balance? A Democratic Party that could begin to answer these questions would deserve a chance to govern."

In other words, a party that will clean up after the 6-year Republican drunken power binge and Treasury looting party that destroyed everything that the Clinton Administration left us. The windows are broken, the doors are off the hinges, the bank account is emptied, there's vomit everywhere, and someone raped the dog....and the Democrats are supposed to make it all better.

Thanks Dave. We'll bring a big shovel. We're going to need it.


Gravatar...Billy frister has endorsed ID.

I have a new theory. I'm calling it "Not Very Bright Design." As the name suggests, it's a theory in which the universe and Earth were created by a near-moronic but nevertheless "Supreme" being. As evidence of my theory, I point to all those Evolution-denying "Intelligent Design" freaks.

maybe ignatius is just a suck up to power. tho i find it difficult to see how anyone could describe bush as a winner, a weiner maybe.

as for loathing, make that fear and loathing and that's enough for me.

Gravatarbacon wrapped bacon sandwich recipe.

Grill 2 slices of Canadian Bacon. Let cool slightly. Wrap smoked american bacon around the Canadian bacon. Cook American bacon until crisp. Wrap very thinly sliced proscuitto around that. Place on buttered english muffin.

Serve with a glass of water and some lipitor or crestor depending on your mood.


GravatarLet's try this: the new ideas these bozos are so enamoured of boil down to attacks on tried and true programs which have served the American public so well.
They intend to destroy Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, keep the names as hollow shells, and insert wholly different programs that benefit their constituents. Their constituents are the wealthy and large corporations. The American Public will receive incidental and inadequate benefits from these programs.
This suits the Republicans very well. The more stress placed on the family's economy, the more likely that family will be forced to take the (LOW) wages offered them by the the big corporations.
Folks, we are not the radicals: they are.
As for the media: the dumbasses value "NEW" above all else. It's not enough that Social Security will work well with minor adjustments. THEY must have innovation as well. I could just spit.

Young men and women are dying, being maimed, suffering psychological trauma which will haunt them for the rest of their lives. All the president can do is mouth cliches.

My mom decided to spread the used kitty litter from her killer cat under the bushes around her new condominium. To fertilize. She previously lived in a large house in the country, so she didn't quite expect the number of protest letters her act created. She nearly got voted out of her apartment.

That's what all the good boys in Texas do over beers.



Full Disclosure: My paternal grandfather was part of the Country-Club Baptist power set in Lubbock, Texas (the first black man I ever spoke to was wearing a chef hat and carving up the Sunday roast beef—"May I have well-done, please"). Fortunately for me, my father's money and position were not as lofty, and my brother and I have continued the downward trend.

I mention this because I wonder about a Nature versus Nurture question: Had I been kept in the rarified atmosphere of the Rich, Godly, and Right, would I have ended up a mayor or a state representative suckling at the teat of Tom Delay's Texas Fiefdom?

Or is there something innate in me, perhaps an overly analytical mind, that would have rejected participation in the phony Ayn Rand social darwinism of "wealthy white entitlement" no matter the circumstance?

Was George Bush groomed to be a callous, hypocritical asshole, or was he just born that way? Was it money and privilege that turned what would have been a wife-beater in a trailer park, into the man who continues to pound on the American people for "our own good?"


GravatarAny parents with good teething advice? Yes, not kitty litter worthy, but all the same...

My son is 9 months old, he started teething late. He got 2 last month. This past week, 5, that's right 5 are coming in. Poor little guy is cranky as all get out. We have tried teethers, infant tylenol, but he is very uncomfortable. Thanks


GravatarEchidne--
