You nailed it all right. Its sic.

Still wondering though-

Why is this least of possible Tboggs here?

Ideas, or just the usual snake scat?

I mean- oil.

What exactly,

I mean exactly,

Is this Tbogg character still doing here?

‘Ha ha ha!- Look at the funny has-been dumbf*** Republican!’

Yeah, awesome. I mean really really awesome. Ha!

How’s that lesser of two evils thing working out for you, TBogg?

Got SS? No? What, really, no?

Who coulda predicted is all I can say!

Sweet Jesus, make it stop!

What is this Tbogg character doing here?

Somebody clue me in, ’cause its over my little head.

One of the more curious things I have personally witnessed in the ongoing unraveling of the United States concerns Madam Speaker.

In the course of friendly debates, one conservative friend of mine would often bring the Congresswoman up with the intent to undermine any given ‘left wing’, (and I use the term in the current sense, meaning ‘centrist’) position I might put forward-

-as if the mere invocation of the vile she-devil’s name not only settled whatever argument happened to be at hand, but effectively discredited the left once and for all in all matters, political and otherwise, for all time, from big bang to inevitable heat death.

It wasn’t the derision on his lips when he spoke her name that struck me-
that was just rhetoric all in good fun.

Rather it was his visibly genuine and almost visceral contempt for the woman that caught my attention.

Don’t get me wrong- I feel much the same way he does- probably more so.
In a better world somewhere, Nancy is behind bars with Rumsfeld, Bush, Obama, and the whole crew. Where none of them can do any harm, and where there are plenty of cheap art supplies and student therapists.

But why any conservative should nurture a white hot hatred for one of their own team who has bravely and single handedly done so much for the cause, I will never understand.

Knee jerk reaction:

“Hitler Painted Flowers”

Apologies to Ellison, Godwin, and the anyone else concerned.

“President Bipartisan will get into a major compromise mode 2 days before 1′st of March, agree to cuts to medicare and social security…”

Nonsense! Haven’t you heard?
President Bipartisan is the lesser of two evils.

And he’s got his heart in the right place.
Please just listen to him for just one moment.
Don’t you hear how pretty he talks?

Whenever I hear this kind of stuff from people I have to shake my head and ask myself what’s up with all the hate from all these dumb hippies?!

As if we need one more reason to put a halt to the decades long tyranny of the misguided Brazilian fashion.

On the other hand,

If genuine concern for our tender planet’s delicately balanced biodiversity can help tip the scales in this irrational war on natural beauty, then so be it. Where’s the petition?

The humble and innocent louse- a strange bedfellow after all?

“The Democrats never say this,because they’re not on our side.”

Don’t get caught up in crazy details and fine print.

Stuff like that doesn’t matter because the Democrats are less evil-

-its not technically legitimate rape when the rapist is less evil than
the other one.

What are these Masters of the Universe thinking?

I guess its always one step forward and two steps back.

Don’t they realize that with the results of this past election
that the country is now moving inexorably toward legalization?

This is the moment to expand Hostess, not to shut it down.

“What we have seen so far in the last couple of weeks since the election is precisely what voting against one’s own best interests looks like.”

Why muddy the clear pure honest waters of Democrat vs. Republican with logic and common sense- ?

That time is still 15 years or more off.

For now, this is still the the age of the bipartisan Operation Grand Slam.

“But some Progressives are saying we have to push Obama to the left. How exactly would we be able to do that? Shame him? Make him remorseful for past errors?”

I think we have no choice but to resort to Sarcasm. And also Irony. Barbaric yes, but mark my words, that’ll bring the bugger back to Jesus.

True dat, but hard for the average bot to process.

Also, studies are now emerging that show if you put a mirror in front of any of them, they’ll attack it, believing the image to be a rival.

“Anyone else who is not willing to dedicate their entire life to transforming the system, but will not accept compromise needs to shut the fuck up.”

Actually, no. No one needs to shut the fuck up.

Not even you.

In the short term? Situation grim?

If you mean by short term the next 20-70 years, force majure contingent,

then yeah, we’re pretty much screwed for at least that long.

The country just voted for a half imagined daydream manufactured by Proctor and Gambol, not a leader.

“Second, the great conservative wave that has been building since at least the 1970s may have finally crested”

There’s not much positive I can take away from Obama’s victory over his twin brother.

As many have pointed out, given the context of the times, the Trojan horse strategy will continue to succeed far beyond what any frontal assault could possibly accomplish. That’s why we were presented with the cheesy Obama avatar in the first place. It is the brilliant successor to the Southern Strategy.

Bigchin is right, and I’m curious in an abstract way to hear what the sound of a million jaws hitting the floor will sound like, when the President fulfills his destiny and savages Social Security.

But if there is a hopey changey silver lining in any of this, its maybe in this:

Vast numbers of Americans voted for a candidate today who represented
a turn away from decades of evil. That this is very tragically not in fact the case, but only a figment of their dreams, doesn’t lessen the significance.

Every journey…

“You want change, then vote for change.”

Interesting idea.

Throughout all of these debates, it has struck me that the terms ‘progressive’ and ‘liberal’ typically, though not exclusively, now describe political philosophies with strong sympathies for the rule of law. I would have thought that a ‘conservative’ value.

Words and strange times.

Anyway, as everyone knows, we are up against the wall at several fronts, too many with planet-wide consequences. Personally, I haven’t seen a credible argument anywhere that supports a vote for either of the two major party customer service reps- in either a moral or strategic sense, for those inclined to that political dualism,

as I was for stupid long decades.

Well, this news comes as quite a surprise!

Out of right field.

But, by no means let us allow the perfect to become the enemy of the enema.
