I thought that Rambo III already solved the Afghanistan problem.

But at least heroin prices have never been lower.

All the residents of Bachmann’s district should be encouraged not to reply to the Census. Then, that district will appear empty and it can be split and merged into adjacent districts, erasing her seat.

I think SC Representative Gilda Cobb-Hunter needs to be quoted more often — and I wish her success in her quest.

What about the Right’s “True Love Waits” program, Mark?

[re=353031]norbizness[/re]: I do have some issues with quality control. These may have to do with the fact that most US American Heroin is produced from Central American poppies by lazy shiftless Mexicans and Columbians.

Monsieur Grumpe July 2, 2009 at 9:38 am

I think Michele Bachmann doesn’t want to fill out the census form because it reminds her of all those tests he took during her collage days. One more D- is not going to change anything Michele.

freakishlystrong July 2, 2009 at 9:40 am

Ahhh..Bachmann, shine on you crazy-eyed diamond…

Serolf Divad July 2, 2009 at 9:48 am

[re=353040]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]:

No. Michelle Bachmann refuses to turn in her census form because the census is an effort by the Obama administration to strip Republicans of their guns before arresting them in the middle of the night and sending the adults to interment camps and the children to Hippie communes. Please pass the word around on this travesty. I want as many people in Red states as possible to refuse to hand in their Census forms.

Auctioning Iraqi oil rights. OK, now with the MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner.

finallyhappy July 2, 2009 at 9:48 am

NO, NO, NO- I demand Mark keep talking until he has confessed about the male prostitutes and the meth.

Come here a minute July 2, 2009 at 9:48 am

Aw, I hope California is issuing fancy engraved certificates for their IOU’s instead of scribbled scraps of paper. Something classy, like a Schrute Buck.

Mahousu July 2, 2009 at 9:51 am

All right, someone has to say it: the cat that has Sanford’s tongue is the only pussy he’s going to see for quite a while.

freakishlystrong July 2, 2009 at 9:51 am

“Cat Finally Gets Mark Sanford’s Tongue”
Too bad Argentine pussy got it first though.

Michele’s breaking out the tin foil hat again. You go girl.

Terry July 2, 2009 at 9:58 am

[re=353054]binarian[/re]:

Has anyone been to Bachmann’s district? Are most of the residents peeping out of their windows, aiming unregistered firearms at strangers just in case?

Manos: Hands of Fate July 2, 2009 at 10:13 am

You know I didn’t think anywhere in Minn could be crazy enough to return Bachman to Congress every two years. According to Garrison Keillor it seems like everyone is pretty low key and mellow up there so what’s up with her?

hoosiermama July 2, 2009 at 10:22 am

My mom and dad in-laws are the two most low-key, mellow MN ex-pats evar — I think Bachmann gives the Boreds and stupids in her district a distraction from the long winters.

drewonline July 2, 2009 at 10:28 am

You know, I do take Vicodin for a very legit reason. I have an honest doctor and obey all the laws (i.e., I don’t doctor shop, I have to take drug tests, etc.). On a lighter note, I did say once to my doctor: “if I could take vicodin every day of my life, while perhaps shorter, it would be a great life.”

I have debated the merits of taking it – who wants to go through life on pills – I really don’t, and you do build up a tolerance, so you don’t really get that “high” but it is still very effective in combating pain.

I wonder how many of those voting to make vicodin illegel have chronic pain that is untreatable and uncurable. I go to a pain clinic that treats a lot of cancer patients – (thankfully and “knock on wood,” that is not my case) – how dare the government tell them what they can or cannot do for pain relief!

OK, sorry for my screed, but a lot of people are scared. I went yesterday, and there were people crying – they are at the end of their life and as far as I am concerned, they should be able to take whatever the hell they want too and that includes legalizing all drugs, especially for end-of-life care.

Thanks,

Am I the only one who wants to get Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann in a threeway?

Hawaiiexpat July 2, 2009 at 10:33 am

May I please use this as an open thread to express this one thought:

Reading anything by always-wrong Bill Kristol (a.k.a. ASSFLAKE) is about as enjoyable as jello wrestling a warren of angry porcupines. Naked.

Yes you are…

….uuuuurrrggghhhhhaaaaa….

…goddamit no… no you’re not.

finallyhappy July 2, 2009 at 10:40 am

[re=353090]Hawaiiexpat[/re]: so you’ve jello wrestled naked with a wareen of porcupines? Can you name the Republicans who were watching- for the record, please?

Guppy06 July 2, 2009 at 10:48 am

[re=353086]wrytoast[/re]: Straight Republican Mark Sanford probably does, if he hasn’t already “dallianced” with them in a way that doesn’t “cross the line.”

Paul Tardy July 2, 2009 at 10:53 am

When I fill out my census form, I always add a few illegal aliens. That way I get my Obama monies, and can be processed in the emergency room in less than 12 hours.

Thanks for posting the article about how useless bureaucrats in the FDA are all in a tizzy that someone is combining 2 drugs into one pill, when you can you know buy two drugs in two pills like the experts think is a good idea. How do we live without these guardians our safety. I am so glad they get lush retirements in 20 years, but I have to work until I can’t and then die a homeless vagrant in a packing crate. They earned it, as did I. Ahh so why are all those drugs half the price every where else in the universe, does poverty caused by the FDA have negative health effects? Nahhh.

pondscum July 2, 2009 at 10:53 am

[re=353081]drewonline[/re]: I took the stuff once after surgery. It was the best 4 days of my life. Vicodinland is a wonderful place.

Why should anyone but a doctor decide what is the right treatment for someone? I am sick of weenie insurance nerds making those decisions.

Guppy06 July 2, 2009 at 10:58 am

[re=353125]pondscum[/re]: “Why should anyone but a doctor decide what is the right treatment for someone?”

Or, in Limbaugh’s case, 27 doctors, or however many it takes to get the right answer.

Elm Hugger July 2, 2009 at 11:26 am

I think I speak to for all the residents of Illinois when I say Mark, please, please stay on in office, as long as you are there, our problems with our governors see so trivial…

hobospacejunkie July 2, 2009 at 11:37 am

[re=353031]norbizness[/re]: Just my luck. I get off the junk & the price takes a nosedive. Who needs vicodin when you cam fill a syringe so cheaply with heroin sulution?

Min July 2, 2009 at 11:52 am

So, if Michelle Bachmann doesn’t fill out her census form completely, does that mean she essentially disappears from American discourse? Because I could totally get behind that.

Lascauxcaveman July 2, 2009 at 1:20 pm

Haha! Sucks to be you.

You and drewonline should get together and compare junkie notes, knock heads, whatever, at great length, ad nauseum right here in comments until Jimmy is forced to ban you.

(Not really)

DixieFlatline July 2, 2009 at 4:21 pm

Hollingsworth’s statement in the AP article on California made me furious. Either he’s a liar, or he’s an idiot. I think he’s about to get a scathing letter from a very pissed off state employee.

JoeSmithHomo July 2, 2009 at 4:52 pm

Ackkk! Bachman was right! The camps are here. Why didn’t we listen?
