Barack, dude, you put the head of Chicago public schools in as the Sec of Education, yet you wouldn’t send your kids to those schools?
I guess noone would think to say that their nation’s failing schools has hurted them.
This recession has hurt MY FEELINGS!
Who are the 33% of Americans who have not been hurt by the recession? Where are these people?
Our schools passed irreparable long ago.
[re=200748]shanemcgowan[/re]: Already in jail.
New day, same Campbell Brown. I’d like to complain… but gads that’s a great picture.
Oh, and recession “Boo!”, resurgent-Taliban “Boo!”, recumbent dollar “Boo!” … and other astute political observations inserted —> here <—
“Hurted” ha, ha, ha, ha! Everyone knows the correct SAE past participle of “hurt” is “hurtified.”
Ha! The oil assets of Somali Pirates are getting lower by the day. Suckers! You should only commit Piracy when asset values are going UP.
[re=200752]Serolf Divad[/re]: Ding! Thank you for playing. The correct answer is “Painificate”.
[re=200748]shanemcgowan[/re]:
Living in their parents’ basement.
[re=200748]shanemcgowan[/re]: They all live in Peggy Noonan’s neighborhood.
the recession has hurted them.
Yeah! My land-rental business in Second Life isn’t even breaking even these days!
“It’s the Land of Lincoln,” Ms. Davis said. “It’s the land of Barack Obama.”
When is the first 2012 presidential debate?
[re=200756]BarthexDeRosa[/re]:
Peggy Noonan’s neighborhood? Is that anything like Mr. Roger’s neighborhood?
Rrrr. Ummm. We had the news about crony Arne Duncan getting EdSeck’ed yesterday. But that’s OK. Happens to the best of us.
[re=200768]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Kind of. Except she doesn’t have to take a trolley to get to the Land of Make-Believe.
If we got “Freedom Fries” because of French cowardice, what trendy name will be bestowed upon all things British?
[re=200774]BarthexDeRosa[/re]: Win.
[re=200748]shanemcgowan[/re]: They’re running AIG and lighting their cigars and hiring five-whore-diamond hookers with government bailout money.
Blaggy’s hair is too big to fail. Mornin’, CB!
[re=200776]Servo[/re]: Cheddar cheese is now going to be called slightly-faster-timetable cheese.
It’s BLAGGO, not BLAGGY.
“…the ones that survive will have to find a whole new path to planetary repopulation. enjoy!”
See? Here’s the silver lining. After Nibiru goes away we will get to have a whole bunch of legitimate secksy time!! Armageddon, Smarmageddon!
[re=200939]CARCUNTZ!(tm)-R-Us[/re]: Dammit. Wrong story… please ignore.
[re=200750]4tehlulz[/re]: Hey! I’m neither in jail nor my parents’ basement, thank you very much. As one of the 33%ers, I’d like to say that I’ve avoided the hurtification by living in my own basement pretending that my 401K doesn’t exist — it’s not like anyone’s fucking retiring in the next 50 years or so anyway, right? The key to avoiding the pain of recession, I’ve found, is to live somewhere where your impoverished ass is wealthy in comparison to everyone else’s and to be a remote worker with a vague enough job description that pretty much everyone forgets that you’re still working for the company. Security through obscurity, bitches!
Oh, fine. We have a little Depression and the OPECers feel the need to stick their tits into it.
that arne guy is hot and tall and tall. id do him.
Careful with the Rod R. Don’t want to harsh his bust.
