"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

right? Well, some moderate Repubs and Dems are trying for a left (-ish) challenge to GOP members who like mucking up the works. That might be nice.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Does it involve punching them in the throat? I hope it does.

I will settle for the ol' flaming bag of poo on the doorstep, also.

Delaying another reckoning closer in to Primary season should make for good political theater.

not your mom's socks.

Here's something for the Harry Potter fans: a documentary someone's making about the rise of Quidditch as an actual sport.

Consuela, this coming weekend in my neighborhood is the Harry Potter Festival, because the local college hosts a 6-college Quidditch tournament.

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

Unless the moderate Repubs and the Dems are willing to take away some of the procedural toys that the Tea Party are using to manipulate events, we are going to wind up with more of the same.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I have a Quidditch tournament near me every year. Can you call it Quidditch if you can't fly on brooms?

We saw photos of kids playing Quidditch on a poster at a local college, and my kids were appalled/hilarious. "Are they just running? With brooms between their legs? What IS this?"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

What alternative is there to not flying on brooms?

You run around with a broom in your hand. What's not to like?

Er wait, I just reread and I see we are saying the same thing.

As you were.

My kids seemed to think that if you were not actually flying, it was not Quidditch. They were very firm on this point. The lack of a Snitch was also an issue.
