“because I’m fairly certain that someone is saying something dumb on the internet.”

Well, if not something dumb, at least something with the verb in the wrong mood: indicative rather than subjunctive after “wish”, e.g., “I wish I were not such a grammar nerd.”

And from here in the capital of Wandistan :

“Monday’s strip appeared in the ‘Classifieds’ section of the Austin American-Statesman.”

It’s time for Google to offer an “All of The Above” choice on that drop-down suggestions menu.

Nothing’s changed. He was always dead to me.

It’s hard for Christine to talk about going down.

A tenet of TBoggism: “From each according to his technical expertise, to each according to his eye for the callipygian.”

From Wikipedia:

Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. donated, loaned, and raised a substantial amount of money for Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1932 bid for the Presidency. Roosevelt rewarded him with an appointment as the inaugural Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). After Franklin Roosevelt called Joe to Washington, D.C. to clean up the securities industry, somebody asked FDR why he had tapped such a crook. “Takes one to catch one,” replied Roosevelt.

Ummm.. I guess I’ll have the boneless skirt steak, honey. And when I’m finished, you’ll have the tube steak. It doesn’t just have a bone; it IS a bone. And, like one of those old brands of dog food, it makes its own gravy.

As the clip shows, Sarah’s always dishing out her word salad waaaay before the turkey’s ready to come out of the oven.

…Rick Santorum who is still only polling 2% higher in the polls than a piece of filthy carpet lying by the side of the road.

The carpet would be would be ahead of Santorum in the polls, but anonymous tipsters have spread the rumor that much of the filth on the carpet is santorum.

That’s what the WaPo does with letters to the ombudsman, who then does the rest.

Not really. They’re not terrified. They’re too dumb to know how dumb they are.

“The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to recognize their mistakes.[1] The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their ability as above average, much higher than it actually is”

Remember Rocky and Bullwinkle?

“Be with us next time for ‘Surging Santorum’ or ‘Blowout on the Hershey Highway.’

The point is, they lied out of habit, right off the bat.

It’s important for a candidate for the presidency to demonstrate that he has what it takes for the job.

They also serve who only stand and grift.

…dressed like something Humbert Humbert sees when he takes a tab of orange sunshine, watches the Ninja Cheerleaders trailer and closes his eyes…

To depict Obama “pretending to be something he’s not,” why settle for racist boom-box carrying caricatures? There are thousands of photographs of him doing just that during his presidential campaign.

New Yorkers you have to ask yourselves what is going on when all your mayors eventually turn into reveal themselves to be life-long dicks.

Fixt.

Later there was much drinking of water followed by copious amounts of drool.

I hope you’ve explained to the boys that if they hope to ever get that “Doghouse” blog going, they’re going to have to switch from water to box wine to ramp up teh drool.

One summer In the late ’60′s, I worked in the Notre Dame Admissions Office, and heard this story:

A few years earlier, a high school senior had both won a football scholarship to Michigan State, and been admitted to Notre Dame as an ordinary student. He enrolled at Michigan State, and started football practice before classes started at either university.

After a few days of practice convinced him to forgo big-time college football, he called Admissions to see if he could still enroll at ND. He could, and did, and left MSU without having attended a single class.

After its first semester, MSU sent the Admissions Office a transcript for this student. He had about a 3.0 average. Imagine how well he might have done had he ever attended classes and taken exams.
