Ok, I have a totally awesome(and mostly non-partisan) political story, despite it starring my current political it guy, Alan Grayson(D-Orlando)... I totally have Grayson Mentionitis, I admit it.it may actually be one of those ones where the pol just sort of fills himself in, but he told it great. If it isn't, his weirdo detector is as good as mine.
Anyway, Grayson gets a call at home. "Rep. Grayson?"
"Yes?"
"Could you get off my TV, please?"
"Did you change the channel? Sometimes that helps."
"Well, you know, I tried, but you are on all the channels."
(Grayson sort of paused, but he couldn't hide his "Heh, heh, Score!" look at this point.He tried, though.)
"Well, you know, when that happens, I can see you too, so I can suggest one of two things. Turn off your TV, or start wearing more clothes."
And that's why that story belongs in Bitches. Whether Alan Grayson likes carrots or not.
Why do websites have music that plays automatically? I NEVER want to hear it. The only time that I could think of a site that should have it is for a music venue or a band. Restaurants and stores, not so much.
Why do websites have music that plays automatically?
Because some people who create websites think it's 1996?
Michael Scott would do that.
He's the do-that guy.
erika, have you seen the new Mamet play
November
? I saw it last night. I think you'd like it. It's like the President as played by Ari Gold. And Lloyd is a lesbian speechwriter.
Dude, I live in Phoenix. We get everything after everyone else is done playing with it.
But, yeah, it sounds like something "I might be interested in,"
I like Grayson as political crush much more than Rahm. Yeah Rahm cock-punches, but 90% of the time it is to his left. There are exceptions, but mostly he takes it easy on people to his right Grayson actually takes on the right more than he takes on the left.
(wtf? it ate half my post.)
I will probably crosspost this to Natter - does anyone know any resources for people with OCD or for dealing with people with OCD?
I just spent 4 hours outside in the wind and cold "celebrating" America Recycles Day. My favorite part was when our student intern walked up to one of the preachers that are always around and asked him what God thought about recycling. He answered, "God doesn't recycle trash! He burns all his trash!" So I proceeded to walk around offering Born to Recycle temporary tattoos with the phrase, "Would you like to burn in hell for recycling?"
Yeah, it's pretty hot.
And I think we all have a list of stuff we'd start saying if we had, well, "Kiss my ass," money. But Grayson really said it.And only a complete idiot would say "You just hate to see a businessman make a profit," but they do, because our political system is long on complete idiots, but they get a big surprise when they do it. Then being rich isn't a mark of character anymore. Wonder why.
I was really thinking I'd be crushed and find that he flipped out and went grocery shopping naked, "crazy" or "unstable" is such a common RW Grayson response, but I haven't found anything other than him out-intensing Taibbi and making him all "O-kay...good luck with that."
I guess I know people *much* more fucked up than Beltway insiders do, whatever that means.
Or else they think it's unseemly to be sad that people die preventable deaths, in which case, I'm glad to not be that damn healthy, thanks.
Yeah, the Emanuel mystique has a dark side, for real...but it's also compelling.(OK, you caught me...In my next life, I'm totally "calling" Undersecretary of Go Fuck Yourself, dead fish optional...maybe I'll apprentice with the Mininstry of Killing The Stupid People and spend some time on craft first.)
