We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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]

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

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The Boy had a board meeting tonight and missed the speech, and he just called while driving home. The following conversation ensued:

Me: "A Congressman actually HECKLED the president!"
The Boy: "...did Rahm Emanuel punch him in the face?"

Me: "Regarding the 'death panels,' Obama surprised everyone by killing and eating an elderly person on camera."
The Boy: "I would have thought John McCain was too stringy to eat raw."

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Me: "Regarding the 'death panels,' Obama surprised everyone by killing and eating an elderly person on camera."

The Boy: "I would have thought John McCain was too stringy to eat raw."

Nah. McCain's been marinating in bitterness since the sixties.

He's just...tart.
