Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

But all the eps that aired on TV were also online.

Huh. Okay then. Airquotes most appropriate.

shrift, I think we might need to put you on a fandom intake diet. Or rather a fandoms diet. How many fandoms can you properly obsess over and stay functional?

ION, is that the sweet taste of schaudenfreude?

Republicans, still adjusting to their role as the minority party, were irate Wednesday that Democrats were speeding ahead without the minority party's input.

"We are disappointed that half of the Congress is being cut out of the process,'' said Rep. Adam Putnam, R-Fla., who chairs the House Republican Conference. He and other GOP leaders accused Democrats of breaking their promise to voters to be more open and respectful of the minority party's rights in House proceedings.

Speaking of Pelosi, Rep. David Dreier, R-San Dimas (Los Angeles County) said, "I have been very reluctant to say anything critical of my fellow Californian. But when I've seen the reports that have come forward about the plans for this opening day package and the lack of consultation with the minority, I am very disappointed.''

But Republican leaders were grilled by reporters about why they hadn't given Democrats the same rights when the GOP ruled the House for 12 years. Rep. Eric Cantor, a top-ranking Republican from Virginia, admitted that GOP leaders had erred by ignoring Pelosi's call back in 2004 to respect the minority party's rights. "In hindsight, I think she was right," Cantor said.

Now tagless for your comfort.

"In hindsight, I think she was right," Cantor said.

Do ya think??? I hate the whinging going on. Boo-fucking-hoo.

We can give it up any time. If we wanted. We just don't want to.

Compassionately intolerant

The Capitol is bouncing this morning. Packed with folks in their Sunday best, smiles everywhere. So unlike when the Repubs have come in. Those guys just seem to have no joy in their hearts...even when they win. Being poor losers? And sages of retrospect? Not a shock.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Republicans, still adjusting to their role as the minority party, were irate Wednesday that Democrats were speeding ahead without the minority party's input.

Oh, boo hoo. Let me wipe away the tears with my party's PLASTIC HAND. Or its umpty-jillion years of minority party status complete with the majority's plowing under its every preference, suggestion or thought no matter how narrow the margin, enjoying endless media time via its creepy sockpuppets, blaming all the many scandals of its ascendancy on the minority party, and even fucking over and wingnuttifying the already morally gray lobbying industry.

Whiny little bitches.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Hmmm. I may have to take a right turn at the Mall during my lunchtime walk instead of my usual left.
