You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

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

Boehner keeps forgetting not to heave a deep obvious sigh.

POTUS is proposing a LOT of big serious changes. Does he really think he can do even half of that with a Congress that's not obstructing him any less than it did in his first term?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I think the goal isn't to reach all those goals, it's to highlight the role of the Republicans as obstructionists.

Somebody's calling out "That's right!" a couple times. I expect to hear an "Amen!" in a minute.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I do feel like being the VP or the Speaker during the SOTU must be really really hard -- not only do you have to look visibly engaged for the whole thing, you're looking at the back of the guy's head! I would have to practice really hard, so as not to glaze over.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Looks like the idea of an educated populace is giving Boehner indigestion.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I think the goal isn't to reach all those goals, it's to highlight the role of the Republicans as obstructionists.

Yeah. It's not what will actually happen, but it might highlight that nothing gets done when we can't work together. And that's on both sides. Because if everyone just digs in our heels and refuses to move unless they get everything they want, we sit still and things just crumble.

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

Looks like the idea of an educated populace is giving Boehner indigestion.

I was just thinking that.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I think the idea of giving anything to the general populace gives Boehner indigestion.

Now I'm thinking I should seriously consider refi. I've been thinking about it, but too phone averse to call the guy who did the original. At the time, it was the lowest available-5.125. But need to see what the OOP will cost me. I'd love to drop my monthly payments.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Teppy! Giant squee! I am so happy for you!
