Always Anti-fascist!

You say that word a lot. I don't think it means what you think it means. And I think I can hear KO screaming from here. Don't mess up your throat, big guy. You don't have Rachel to lean on. Underdog, McCain? Like Pepsi is a mom &pop cola outfit. I believe he had one squeaker in the early eighties. Since then, he ran *unopposed* either once or twice. (I know because I voted Libertarian in protest.) Some teacher named Stuart who probably debated sticking me on his Christmas card list.)

Hey, Perkins - how was your weekend?

Wench!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Well, it's not like she's wrong.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's not even the election yet, and a Republican is paying the price for claiming Obama is "unpatriotic."

GOP Pulling Its Ads From Bachmann's Race, Media Buyers Say

Five days after Rep. Michele Bachmann went on a McCarthy-esque rant suggesting Barack Obama was unpatriotic and urging the major newspapers of the country to investigate anti-American sentiment in Congress, the national Republican political parties are running for cover.

Two sources aware of ad buys in Minnesota say that the National Republican Congressional Committee is pulling its media purchases from Bachmann's race. If true, it is a remarkable fall for a congresswoman who, until recently, seemed relatively safe in her predominantly conservative district. The race had become closer in recent days -- sources say the NRCC had transferred funds from Rep. Erik Paulsen (MN-03) to Bachmann a little over a week ago.

In the days following her appearance on Hardball, however, Bachmann has watched as her challenger, El Tinklenberg raised more than a million dollars off her incendiary remarks. That surge in fundraising put Bachmann's re-election in a far less certain position. Bachmann tried to stem the bleeding by telling the press she was sorry for her remakrs. But with the national party now apparently pulling the plug, the situation has gone from bad to worse.

If enough Republicans suffer and/or lose after asserting Democrats are unpatriotic, maybe they'll learn to, um, not to do it so much....

Also, I first read this: "If true, it is a remarkable fall for a congresswoman" as "a remarkable fail"...

Oh man, that would be a blast.

Concerts here - I don't have anyone to go with, even if I could afford tickets.

Why, why, why does all the work hit during my last hour in the office this week?

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

I'd be pissed if I were Bachmann. "When Palin does it she gets a hundred and fifty grand in clothes..."

Hivemind question: Stick around for another half hour to call parents about an attitude problem? Or... not?

Mind you, not probably means making the call from home, where I inevitably feel less secure and teacherly.
