Also, that things like roads and firefighters and the National Institutes of Health are nice things, and should not be neglected just because they're not sexy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
megan is me WRT Franken, Rhodes and Garafalo -- which last makes me sad, as I have so many reasons to be fond of Janeane and I essentially agree with all her politics; it's just that she gets ranty and screedy and full of such blind verbally violent hatred that I can't bear to listen to her.
OTOH, she's the most mainstream commentator/pundit/misc. media voice on the left I can think of who spews like that; there are plenty worse folks, God knows, but they all seem to be plenty more obscure.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
And you know really, I don't want indictments, I don't want hearings, I don't want an impeachment. I just want my habeus corpus back.
I'm afraid my vengance is up. I want half of Halliburton indicted, Cheney resigning in disgrace, Rumsfield out on his ass... I want Bush and his administration so hamstrung for the next two years that Bill Clinton gets up every morning, turns on C-Span, and chuckles "paybacks a bitch, chimp boy"

Oh! And a rousing chorus of "Howard Dean was right on the 50 state plan -- lets elect him President"

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Pelosi has pretty much committed to no impeachment proceedings, so I wouldn't hold my breath for those. However, everything else is out there, so I really hope that some of those new committee chairs get cracking on some relevant hearings come January.
Ballot issues are a bitch to track down info about, especially if you're looking for as official as possible results. I still have five that I think are too close to call (2 in MO, 2 in CO, and 1 in AL), even though the local papers have called all but the AL one. Took me 3 1/2 hours to finish.
Now for lunch!

I'm really surprised by that.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
RUMMY GONE!
PROBABLY X-POSTY!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Secretary of Defesnse Rumsfeld is STEPPING DOWN.
Huh. Bush said he was gonna make a major announcement, but he always says that....
Also, YAY!

What is even happening?
More like our batshit insanos are not part of a mainstream organized political movement.
My comment was just meant as a joke. Regardless, I'm glad it inspired your above response. You're like the Buffista homage to Will Rogers.
