Crux

Good news!

I'm confused. Does that mean KK is chicken?

Now Boner, did you say "thank you" to the nice Tvash for giving you the beautiful mermaid story?

Hi, I'm a conservative, and, as a kinder, gentler member of the new GOP, I'm delighted to announce we have planned an outreach feminist bookstore for every voters' precinct, fresh organic cookies with vegan cream refreshments, and embroidered Ceasar Chavez patches for all our Hispanic friends to proudly wear.

Unable to maintain abstinence from tippling the news, I learn this morning the so-called shirtless FBI agent might actually be a decent guy. (See headline story in Seattle Times.) But then, what's he doing sniffing out the intelligence equivalent of day-old panties and whining to House Leader Eric Cantor ® with organoleptic outrage in respect to the lingerie linkage to General "Drip-Dick" Dreedle, aka, uh, aka, what the fuck is his name? Le sigh. I swear. Never again. No...more...news. Ever.

Right now, I'll go with 2+2=5 just for bus fare and a cup of strong coffee. Just don't ask me to watch the news again until it brings back the days of dignity, you know, when scandals were about a cigar and an intern, rather than shirtless FBI agents and pantless generals. (Although I would settle for footage of Karl Rove's head exploding. Again.)

Except this time it involves the head, of the CIA. Got it. And the FBI, shirtless...and Congress, like a House of cards

Caught some details on the early morning. It comes down to just two emails. That's it? And not one word of which meets any factual legal standard that defines threat or malice, yet the recipient is able to manipulatively compel the FBI to action that takes down a popular and celebrated director of the CIA? Truly, more than just a senior commander of the United States military is proven here utterly defenseless against even the most subtle wrath of woman: we're talking about the entire law enforcement and intelligence apparatus of the nation here, both foreign and domestic! If an entity such as Al Qaeda or the Taliban ever comes to grasp this fatal vulnerability we now reveal to the world, and at once renounces its sexist ways and come to love the woman, you know, as Dr. Strangelove the bomb, we are then surely doomed!

I think we need to be reasonable about this. Considering the severity of our national debt, we can only pay so much to get rid of Texas. But Mexico, I hear, is poor. Maybe, for a modest price paid to them, the Mexicans would be willing to help us do what is best for our nation and all that is holy.

At work the night shift with Morning Joe on a TV in the background, hearing the Republicans saying whose fault it is. That's right. Second verse, same as the first: Teh blame they cons give to George W. Bush! (He say, one an one an one is three, one thing I can tell ya is you got to... blame me!) Runner up: Teh lyin' money-grabbin' pollsters!

Yep, as long as we don't totally fuck up and attack Iran, then the poison in the relationship will be gone when the Iranian government goes. A big fear I had of a Romney administration was a Neocon attack by the US against the nation of Iran. It would be game over then, in so many ways. I mean, seriously, look at where we are with Afghanistan, which was arguably one of the poorest, weakest nations on earth when we attacked it. And still, they fight. Iran, by contrast, one of the wealthier and technologically more advanced nations, with a highly educated population; scientists, engineers, means of production... As it is, or would have been, an America lead by politicians WHO CANNOT DO SIMPLE MATH would readily be an America predisposed to calculate victory and advantage out of an attack on the Iranians, no matter the evidence to the contrary.

TTK, the info you shared here about 502 is much appreciated. I already cast a vote in favor, but did so while in something of a fog--even though I don't smoke--in regard to the details of the measure. For me, a desire to end the meaningless incarceration and life damage caused by current law was enough to get my vote. But about problems associated with such legislation, I'm glad to learn that 502 is a very good law, all around. The part about active-THC vs inactive-THC was something I'd never heard about before. It adds a lot of clarity to an otherwise foggy situation. Interesting to learn that John McKay played such a vital part in helping the draft for 502 to be such a fine law. If McKay ran for office, I suppose he'd be the kind of old-school Republican I'd vote for, depending on the candidate(s) he was running against. But I've tried to figure out why McKay steadfastly continues to support the Republican ticket, wondering if in his relationship with the GOP he suffers something like battered spouse syndrome.

Rumor is the FoxNews pundits and their talk-radio ilk are going bat-shit panic-button crazy in desperation over their current poll findings and the latest economic statistics. So watcha seeing and hearing out there? Gimmee da troof!

Two chairs, please. That'll be one for me, and one for my sociopathic friend here.

Why does it bother you so much? They said the same shit about Obama in 2008 and he won anyways. Why would it work 4 years later when it failed previously? It will not. Because a dog whistle calling "*" is offensive regardless of the outcome.

takes his ball and goes home

That's no 'scuse ta be sayin' bad things about teh Rawmoney.

KK gonna cry, 'cause you babies pickin' on him. You otta be ashamed. Children. That's right. You just politicizing little middle schoolers, that's all.

Romney campaign in Ohio says hurricane is God's wrath for Obama eating babies. Will this swing the election? Or is Romney just desperate that there might not be enough babies to go around? Back to you, Chet.

Yeah, we'll all be around finding out about shit in 40 years. Like magnets, man. Magnets. Ever seen magnets melting in jet fuel? I didn't think so.

Teapot. Magnet. Jupiter. All...making...sense...now...

Megastorm Drowns Electronic Voting: SCOTUS Says Romney President

Prolly more than that about Romney is appealing to the GOP today, don't ya think? Prediction: If Romney wins, we're in deep doo-doo. If he loses, he'll regret he ignored the maxim: "When standing nose deep in shit, better to keep your mouth shut."

I think Romney has been consistent on some issues. For example, his current support of forced pregnancy by rape is no change of position, is it?
