They're supposed to act like legislators, not kids saying "Psych!"

That ship sailed some time ago.

They're supposed to act like legislators, not kids saying "Psych!"

At least they didn't say "Sike!"

they stripped all the budget elements out of the legislation and just sent through the stuff about collective bargaining.

Proving the point that the union stuff was NEVER about the budget. EVER. Not that anyone (with a brain) believed that, anyway.

Ivory soap in the microwave. Someone just does that, don't they? Just puts different things in the microwave to see what they do.

I mean, other than tommy and Leif.

And Steph hits it on the nose.

Why is it so difficult for people to stop and use critical thinking skills? I know, I know...but seriously. It is like saying the bluest sky ever is orange.

Because most people are happy being told what they want to hear.

Hey! My putting-weird-shit-in-the-microwave phase was when I was in high school.

tommy! Should you ever get your hairless cat you know you can also get a hairless dog to go with it?

The Xoloitzcuintli - the only AKC recognized breed beginning with the letter X and (formerly known as the Mexican Hairless) and available in 3 sizes.

Steph - yes, the Wisconsin republicans have now proved to everyone (who didn't already realize) that getting rid of collective bargaining had nothing to do with the budget. I hope this pays off in dividends for Democrats at the next election.

Oooh! Puppy!

At least they didn't say "Sike!"

But 'sike' is how you spell it! Right?

Making fun of Newt: My Love Affair With America

I didn't want it to happen, of course. No one does. When you take the marriage vows, you take them for life, right? So at first, I suppressed those unwanted feelings. Sure, I noticed her purple mountain majesties as soon as she walked in the room. I mean, who didn't? Believe me, in a sweater, those purple mountains sure were majestic. And her amber waves of grain? I couldn't pry my eyes away. So lush and, well, ambery. What was I to do? Maybe it's because my defenses were down -- I was working so hard at the time -- that my mind soon wandered to her fruited plains. Bad, bad thoughts! But I just couldn't help myself.

At first, of course, I didn't say a word. I tried to confirm my soul in self-control. Oh, how I tried! And she played it straight, even when she caught me staring at her alabaster cities. But then I succumbed. I succumbed to sin. It was a business trip, of course. What a trip! It took us from the redwood forests all the way to the gulf stream waters. I was working so hard! Did I mention that I was working so very hard?

On that perilous night, when I first lifted my lamp by her golden door, she was dressed in broad stripes and bright stars. I was always a sucker for broad stripes and bright stars. It happened after a long day of exceedingly hard work. Boy, was I tired from all that hard work! She knew I wanted her. And I knew she wanted me. In a flash, our clothes fell to the floor, and she whispered huskily in my ear, "Give me your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free," and before I knew it, I saw that golden valley. Oh, the rockets' red glare! The bombs bursting in air! In that moment of indivisible union, I screamed out, "America, America! God shed His grace on thee!"

I was hopelessly, irretrievably in love. I guess that makes me a sinner. But it also makes me a patriot.
