At least there aren’t any Crustaceans in that shake…

Maybe somebody could decipher this sentence from David Brooks’ column today, describing Obama:

Through some deep, bottom-up process, he has developed strategies for equanimity, and now he’s become a homeostasis machine.

This definitely has something to do with teh Geh, but that’s as far as I’ve got.

MARCdMan October 17, 2008 at 9:17 am

I bet Uncle Ted likes big trashy milkshakes. Bet he doesn’t have to pay for them too.

franks and beans October 17, 2008 at 9:19 am

Hey…atleast that fat shake contains no Crustaceans and it does have NOs for the kids.

That’s because after Tom DeLay’s personally guided improvement to the Texas voting system, they don’t really bother to count most of the votes. They assume that parts of Houston, Austin, and Galveston are full of hippies and the gays and mark a few token Democratic votes in those areas. They then paint the rest of the state a bright and God given shade of red.

Who cannot help but to love this man! Warren Buffett: “Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful.”

BUY BABY, BUY!

Can I get some truck nutz on that shake please?

My milkshake brings calories to the gut,
And they’re like
It’s fatter than yours,
Damn right it’s fatter than yours,
It can kill you,
So I have to charge

That shake looks nast.

Pssst. Wanna try some sewage?

queeraselvis v 2.0 October 17, 2008 at 9:30 am

Why am I NOT surprised that Tennessee is also woefully unprepared for voting day? I mean, dammit, even Mississippi and Arkansas are better prepared than us. *slams head against wall*

[re=138064]WadISay[/re]: Well, let’s see: There’s the bottom-up, and equanimity has to do with horses I think, and the homo-whatever machine…I think it’s some device to help someone have sex with a horse!

As a contractor in NYC, I can personally attest to the natural propensity of all clients to try to get something for nothing. The Stevens trial should be a class action suit against all cheapskate and/or deadbeat homeowners.

Thank you.

nurple October 17, 2008 at 9:36 am

My theory iz that early voting will favour Obama, because old people think change is communist. If I am right, and Obama wins, my black beret and big wicker chair business BOOOOMS.

Delicious October 17, 2008 at 9:38 am

Texas? Not prepared for voting? Hopefully all those people who washed away during Ike cast early ballots.

btw, who likes to watch CNBC Porn? Down, baby, down. You know you like it.

WadISay October 17, 2008 at 9:40 am

[re=138080]bearbait[/re]: I like it. I’m going with it.

Only an elitist egghead would correctly use the term ‘homeostasis.’

[re=138075]MathewBrooks[/re]: and has more than a day’s worth of calories, fat, and sodium. And you are hungry in a hour because it has almost no fiber. Yum. We iz teh obeese country.

[re=138082]nurple[/re]: We are voting tomorrow–in VA you can vote in person or by absentee ballot right now. Lots of people are doing it because the lines are predicted to be insane. I am hoping you are right, but I do worry about all the undecided morans out there.

Ha! I drink your milkshake! Well, maybe not that milkshake. That’s kinda gross.

Mr Blifil October 17, 2008 at 9:58 am

In that case, make mine a Heath Shake Small.

Chad San Marino October 17, 2008 at 10:05 am

Enjoy the Heath Shake with a Triple Baconator and watch your heart explode,
sending torrents of blood gushing from your every orifice!

TGY October 17, 2008 at 10:06 am

You don’t believe Warren Buffett? He knows about money since he has such a lot of it.

Also, Tory! Tory! Tory!

slithytoves October 17, 2008 at 10:43 am

Thanks for that link to the shake – I just spent thirty minutes reading about how fat I am and how it’s going to take five years to lose twenty pounds. Thanks for spoiling my Cheetos and martini weekend, Wonkette!

Giant Robot October 17, 2008 at 10:46 am

National Enquirer is picking up on the Keating five – Joe the Plumber connection. Maybe there’s something to it…

It’s good to be Warren Buffett. You just buy stocks, then tell everyone you’re buying stocks, and watch your stocks go up when everyone else buys stocks.

Having said that, I’m glad he said it and I hope the rich old bastard gets the market moving up today.

TGY October 17, 2008 at 12:19 pm

Also, now Jimmy Buffett: there’s someone you can trust financially, because:

Good times and riches and son of a bitches
I’ve seen more than I can recall.

Special Agent Jack Mehoff October 17, 2008 at 1:57 pm

What the fuck kind of milkshake doesn’t contain crustaceans?

A Geek Tragedy October 17, 2008 at 1:58 pm

aw. David Cameron thinks the British government can influence the world economy. That’s so cute

DharmaDim October 17, 2008 at 3:37 pm

Are the people who do those fat studies for real? I think every once in a while they just make stuff up just to confuse everyone.
