Easy on the asparagus there. I’m sure Louie would rise to say he resembles that remark.

Happy Birthday Bob Dylan … still tangled up in blue

Like he says right there in the tags, “we tease (them) till they develop an eating disorder”. Sort of like the teabag protester at the IRS office in the previous post. Except that the prog trolls develop a masturbatory disorder.

Hey, if it’ll wipe a few Starbucks’ off the map, I’m all for it. OMFG Totes!

Speaking of wierd moles, has anyone seen Donald Rumsfeld recently?

For the experiment to be a success, all of the body parts must be enlarged

<a href="Famous Tax Exiles“>

The Rolling Stones have paid just 1.6 per cent tax on their earnings of £242 million over the past 20 years.

Also,
in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the character of Veet Voojagig “was finally sent into tax exile, which is the usual fate reserved for those who are determined to make a fool of themselves in public.”

Funny how the brain works. That episode hasn’t aired in what, 45 years? I can’t remember 10% of the shit I learned in college, which I paid good money for, but you put snowbilly granny vice president in one sentence and up pops this ancient memory like a delicious apple.

All this reminds me of the time Jed Clampett was appointed vice president of the bank by Mr Drysdale. Which was fine until granny looks up vice in the dictionary. Then she has Jethro go change the name plate on his door from “vice president” to “nice president”.

Now why can’t these two get together and do a show like that?

In fairness to Time, they were only referring to his “new hometown”, not to the beach outside his window. Anyway, can’t be too much distance between the potheads and the pelicans.

Not a good idea him retiring there. Right after the debates them Big Birds started shitting all over the rocks and raising a stench on his private beach.

dayum, a twenty-something girl with downs syndrome paying more in taxes than my total income. I feels like such a lucky ducky.

the only way to protect your guns is … more guns

Logic straight out of the gospel according to Clint Eastwood

Little Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman): You see, the night that Corky walked into the Blue Bottle, and before he knows what’s happening, Bob here takes a shot at him! And he misses, ’cause he’s so damn drunk. Now that bullet whizzing by panicked old Corky, and he did the wrong thing. He went for his gun in such a hurry that he shot his own damn toe off. Meantime Bob here, he’s aiming real good, and he squeezes off another, but he misses, because he’s still so damn drunk, and he hits this thousand-dollar mirror up over the bar. And now, the Duck of Death is as good as dead. Because Corky does it right. He aims real careful, no hurry, and… BAM! That Walker Colt blew up in his hand, which was a failing common to that model. You see, if old Corky had had two guns instead of just a big dick, he would have been there right to the end to defend himself

This is satire, a Sarah Palin impression, right?

….right?

From Giffords’ statement at your link

Forget the boogeyman of big, bad government coming to dispossess you of your firearms. As a Western woman and a Persian Gulf War combat veteran who have exercised our Second Amendment rights, we don’t want to take away your guns any more than we want to give up the two guns we have locked in a safe at home. What we do want is what the majority of NRA members and other Americans want: responsible changes in our laws to require responsible gun ownership and reduce gun violence.

So I guess the wingnuts are concerned “Giffords believes now is the time to turn (private citizens with concealed folding chairs) into potential felons”?

yes, but even on that basis it makes no sense
as marriage is defined as “the most expensive sex you can buy”

Chickenfeed. As Michelle Bachmann rings in the new year by introducing the umpteenth bill to repeal Obamacare, an entire branch of government continues to be a taxpayer funded three ring circus.

Yeah, that would be nice (pardon the subjunctive)

Problem is we still don’t know if Obama’s Grand Bargaineering is just a blunderbuss for bagging Teabaggers, or if he’s really looking for some “skin in the game” from us soon to be retiring boomers. After 10 years of disaster capitalism all I’ve got to offer is some fairly used foreskin.

you do realize that Obama can not make taxing and spending policy by himself, right?

spending under the “debt ceiling” has already been approved by Congress. The only purpose for them to refuse to raise it is to create chaos and wreck havoc in financial markets (ie terrorism). Obama stomps his foot and says he won’t negotiate over it. Krugman (and the GOP) are saying past behavior suggests otherwise.
