"Next week" meaning "Monday", I hope. This is way scary, but the docs can do some pretty amazing stuff these days. Have hope.

BTW, your evil fondue reminded me of an old (Larsen?) cartoon -- a guy standing at his fridge with the door open, and on one shelf there's a little bowl on tiny legs pointing an automatic at him. Caption: "When potato salad goes bad".

I will certainly be sending Bamz a little more munnies, because it's not really "the lesser of two evils". It's "the better of imperfect and evil".

Nevertheless, and speaking (obviously) only for myself, I think this is a really stupid, tacky idea. . I know they need money, but this is a little too reminiscent of "intercepted".

I think there's the germ of an idea here: the DNC should hold the world's biggest tag sale, ever. Everybody brings their ugly candlestics, or whatever, to the National Mall, puts them down with a price tag, and wanders off in search of something better (somebody else's ugly tablecloth, maybe.)

With a full weekend in the hot sun, thousands of people could raise, I dunno, maybe 1/10 of what one wingnutty billionaire gave to Mint Mormony before lunch last Thursday, on a whim.

Despite the fact that it's almost all capital gains (thank you, Steve Jobs), it's not taxed at the billionaire's preferred rate of 15%, so fuck Mitt ... I'm actually going to need what's left.

You can give your future son-in-law the 409.

Thanx to Wonkette I'm on the right wing nutz email roster - it is astonishing how my address has been passed around.

The latest was a fundraising plea from Newsmax on behalf of Sheriff Joe.

Quite entertaining!

Could it be "coarctation"? Obviously anything heart-related is not what a grandma wants to hear, but the <a href="http:\/\/www.mayoclinic.com\/print\/coarctation-of-the-aorta\/DS00616\/DSECTION=all&amp\;METHOD=print" target="_blank">Mayo clinic</a> materials on coarctation of the aorta make it seem very survivable.

back in '08 i did that to a bunch of wingtards: donated to bamz then block quoted an entire nest of wingtard addresses as potential donors (they had been tormenting mr fuflans...).

i hope they still get emails from jim messina.

George Will says there isn't too much money in politics because we spend $2 billion on Easter candy. Because politicians are exactly like chocolate bunnies and candy eggs, and should be bought once a year.

Is there a sign outside the White House that says...

...nevermind.

I heartily endorse this idea. But only for friends who are active republicans.
