I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Joyce ,'Same Time, Same Place'


Natter 64: Yes, we still need you  

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

So this guy giving the response clearly didn't listen to the speech.

Oh, of course he didn't. Or if he did, that doesn't matter.

That response has been written way ahead of time, and is meant to parrot talking points, not actually, you know, *respond.*

Feh.

So, they just let him hang out there and look stupid, because he covered some of the same territory that Obama did.

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

I also have to laugh cynically whenever I hear GOP doctors ask for malpractice liability reform. I can't be the only one thinking these guys are in Congress because they weren't very good at their other job, right?

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

Am I the only one who giggled that all the sitting-grim people were, to a person, old white guys?

Seriously. Try to look like you'll mix it up a bit. TRY.

"Lie" shouted by Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC)

(And yes, that's a different Joe Wilson than the one married to Valerie Plame.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

More about Joe Wilson, from wikipedia:

In September 2002, during a debate on the possibility of going to war in Iraq, Wilson called Congressman Bob Filner "viscerally anti-American" and claimed that he had a "hatred of America" after Filner suggested the United States supplied chemical and biological weapons to Saddam Hussein. Wilson said later that he didn't intend to insult Filner.[4]

Trust my rage

Am I the only one who giggled that all the sitting-grim people were, to a person, old white guys?

I notice that the Dem side was so vibrant looking and the Repub shots were all white guys with colorful ties.
