as some of you know, i've been working for tammy (as i can't actually vote for her). it's really depressing having to keep up with this crap. it's really depressing having to even think about joe walsh.

then i read misstaken's comment about 'putrid asshole' - and so many others - and tomorrow i will smile all afternoon.

thanks everyone.

you know he actually got redistricted out? we're one of the few states where the dems got to draw the lines. he had to choose b/t a solidly republican distract or a left leaning one and he chose - shock - the high drama.

ed: DISTRICT, not distract. though 'republican distract' could be a campaign slogan.

You know, once upon a time those "bureaucrats" were also called "civil servants", or "government service providers", or "the folks that do the shit -- including putting up with your own personal bullshit -- that makes civil society work".

Okay, that last one was probably never that widely used, but still.

Gets easier every day for Duckworth. At this point, the only ads she needs to run say "Tammy Duckworth -- your alternative to Joe Walsh"

Well, I know if Rush Limbaugh ever served in the military (Hint: fuck no).

Also, too, the only reasons fucking Johnny McGrumpypants has trickled off to only occasional banner-waving about his military heroism are: (1) he isn't currently running for anything; (2) the Alzheimers is kicking in a bit and he doesn't always remember; and (3) people keep responding by mentioning all those tens of millions of dollars worth of crashed planes.

I must point out that, while we all (well, most of the physics nerds among us) would like this to be the case (because if the LHC <i> doesn't</i> see the Higgs, it means things are even screwier than we currently think), right at the moment this story carries about the same weight as the superluminal neutrinos.

"The great Don Knots".

I mean, I kinda liked Don Knotts, but "great"?
