Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

He definitely hates the tile. He was thrilled to discover that through the miracle of our second-floor deck, that the outdoors is available up there.

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

Michele Bachmann had this to say about the resurgance of swine flu:

“I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat president Jimmy Carter. And I’m not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it’s an interesting coincidence.”

Wonkette sez:

Anyway, as Glenn Thrush notes at The Politico, the 1976 swine flu freakout was pretty famously an event during Gerald Ford’s presidency, with the semi-crazed response being a pretty famous reason why Ford lost his re-election campaign, and why there was a new president in 1976, the Democrat Jimmy Carter.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Makes me think of that time on Rachel's show where she made such a point of saying that someone was lying, and wondering why nobody in the press ever said it, Kathy.

I read that some wingnuts were blathering yesterday that the swine flu scare is all an Obama-led conspiracy to get Sibelius confirmed as HHS secretary. Riiiiight.

Ooh, my boyfriend gets to play with Psycho Congress Barbie again...can't wait. Although it horrifies me that anyone elected that person.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

keep Specter in his Repub-assigned committee seats even though he's now a Democrat unless the Repubs agree to seat Franken immediately.

That would require the Dems to have a spine. Well, more of one than they have had recently.

If I had to guess which state had elected the craziest congressperson, MN would be pretty low on my list.

What's up with that, Minnesota?

Don't forget that Minnesota also had elected Jesse Ventura as governor.

Well that was funny.

Also, he ain't got tine to bleed.
