Probably at least in part because it was done without the “benefits” of computerization. Software developement is hard. Ask the FAA!

There are only three sentences there. Did you not read the second??

Recognize sarcasm much?

If anyone anywhere has more than you, then you don’t have enough. Never mind that you have more than 99.9% of the country, or 99.99% of anyone who has ever lived. Envy and bitterness are all that matter.

Bizarro indeed. I almost wish I lived in a red state. I could call my Senators here in WA, and maybe one of them will make some mouth-sounds about Social Security, but I’m sure neither of them will filibuster this platter of turds.

@38 I kinda doubt she was *enjoying* it (unless she’s secretly a LOT less of a partisan then the person she plays on TV), but as she said “notwithstanding the doubts that Karl Rove has attempted to place,” it does have a touch of viciousness that suggests she’s not too happy thinking that the fat boy has skimmed about $50 million off the Repug gravy train and they have nothing to show for it.

No, that is a fallopian tube. Or maybe an ovary…we can’t see exactly where the pointer lands.

Nits picked. Laughing resumes.

That’s not a lizard brain, it’s a cerebral Mormon construct. Remember, in his mind, Romney is a god-too-be.

“They cheered because it’s been so long since a media figure decided not to balance an argument with the utmost objectivity, but to actually call balls and strikes.”

This pervasive meme right here is the root of the problem. What is NOT objective about calling balls and strikes, if done right? An umpire is supposed to OBJECTIVELY call balls and strikes by applying the same standards to both teams, not stand there dumb as a stump!

Silence only LOOKS more objective if you actively call “bullshit” on bullshiting, and one side in the debate is *consistently more prone* to shoveling it out. Inevitably, you’ll be calling the Repugs on their “balls” more frequently, since the Dims have a reality-based view on at least SOME subjects.

(I kinda hate spectator sports culture in genereal, and baseball in particular, so gagging throughout.)

It’s MUCH better to wake up on Saturday morning thinking it’s Friday.

That *never* happens, yet waking up on Sunday thinking it’s Saturday, which is an error of parallel structure, happens all too often.

You might not want to hear this but when the Democrats had control of the House, Senate and the WH, they made the same party that made them hold investigative hearings down in a basement when they were in minority point men on their crowning acheivement.

Similarish problems at the local level. WA state leg. had a D supermajority a few years ago, and a D gov. Lot’s of middle-of-the-road Ds, though, dubbed “the Road-Kill Caucus” and excoriated by the liberal weekly paper for being too scared to do any “freaky liberal shit” for fear of angering moderate voters and losing their supermajority. Of course, the supermajority is of no use if you won’t use it, and then they lost it anyway…

Country Dick Montana is someone who’s young death I’ll lament. At least, his attempts to annoy and offend people were leavened with some humor.

I think that level of reflection and humility is VERY rare on the far right. It’s probably pretty rare generally, but when you’re that self-righteous and ideological, whoa doggy!

Well said, Bro

@32 You are SOOOOO persuasive. Go tell it on Pharyngula.
