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

The speed of the internet is a thing of beauty.

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'm picturing the prez going all Bartlet v. Ignorant Tight Ass Club on him.

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.

I expect Palin/Wilson unless we catch him with a live boy or a dead girl.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Good speech. Not happy about the not-funding-abortions thing, but I'm holding on to hope that that will be eroded away once the thing is finally done. Otherwise? What a joy to have an erudite president whom I can listen to without cringing.

And Wilson actually called him a liar. Un-fucking-believable.
