    That Homeland Security dude must have fucked up big time to get that detail. ["Oh my God Sarge, I know I fucked up, but ya gotta send me somewhere else. She wearing shorts, Sarge - SHORTS!"]

    Can someone translate that for me? I lost my gibberish to English dictionary. Thanks in advance.

    “Gurgle gurgle blurgle, herp nurp!”

    This is the twitter equivalent of spending evenings and weekends working on your “Dog Bites Man” exclusive so you can impress your newsroom editor.

    I would never wish cancer on anyone, so I hope she dies in a fire.

    And your alternative? You’re not going to able to replace Blue Dog Democrats with Bernie Sanders clones in any race; you’ll be effectively campaigning for the Republican candidate for those seats if you try. Keeping the pressure on the existing Democrats may seem Sisyphean, but it avoids handing the government to the insanity party.

    Why someone of your intelligence continues to defend this decrepit excuse for a political party defies my imagination.

    My guess would be that any realistic alternative to the current Democratic party would be orders of magnitude less effectual.

    They had 54 yes votes, and the bill didn’t pass. I agree there’s a lot of blame to go around, but Reid is the one who could put an end to this filibuster insanity, and he isn’t doing it.

    If I were Harry Reid (and how do you know I’m not?) I’d revisit the filibuster and change the senate rules to require 90 votes to override. After that, no one would even bother proposing any new legislation, and I could just sit in my office and have pretty NRA lobbyists wank me and feed me grapes all day.

    They look overly excited. The SD lifestyle may be too much for them.

    The picture of Becket is a really thoughtful holiday treat – a lot of people out here in the tubes loved him, even if we never met him in the flesh. (I’ll bet in pooch heaven, humans have 4″ legs and 12″ ears.)

    I’m assuming “projects” means a full-on offensive in the War Against Christmas, so I’ll leave you with this wisdom from boot camp: keep your head down and your ass tucked in. We’ll look for you on the 26th.

    “shoppers gone apeshit with crap-lust”

    That is a really elegant turn of phrase.

    The glib thing to say is “Yeow, that’s gonna leave a mark!”, but the truth is it won’t – not on Romney, or his ultra-privileged offspring, or any of the other true faithful. They emerged from their Fox New bubble for maybe 45 minutes last Tuesday, just long enough to get stung badly by reality, and now they’ve slipped back into the bubble. It’s always someone else’s fault.

    Get a friend and do the “I’m wrestling a dark-skin fiend to the ground as we speak!” skit. (Warning: may result in ecstatic moaning coming from your phone.)
