What do Democrats and Republicans have in common these days, besides a total disinterest in governance and a massive crush on Twitter slapfights?They both love those sweet-tasting Koch bucks printed on paper made of ground orphans. DSCC Chairwoman Sen. Patty Murray called up Koch Industries and left a voicemail asking for the Kochs to renew their
well at least the riposte was worthy and puts me in mind of touchstone:
Upon a lie seven times removed as thus, sir: I did dislike the cut of a certain courtier's beard: he sent me word, if I said his beard was not cut well, he was in the mind it was: this is called the Retort Courteous. If I sent him word again 'it was not well cut,' he would send me word, he cut it to please himself: this is called the Quip Modest. If again 'it was not well cut,' he disabled my judgment: this is called the Reply Churlish. If again 'it was not well cut,' he would answer, I spake not true: this is called the Reproof Valiant. If again 'it was not well cut,' he would say I lied: this is called the Counter-cheque Quarrelsome: and so to the Lie Circumstantial and the Lie Direct.
I durst go no further than the Lie Circumstantial, nor he durst not give me the Lie Direct; and so we measured swords and parted.
In the past, corporate dickmutants would donate to both parties "just in case." I think with Citizens United, they know they don't have to worry about any of these "insurance" donations anymore.
See, the request for the donation was so that we could make a big deal of then publicly refusing it. It's like the popular girls who pretend they're letting the loser girl join their group so they can turn on her more effectively when she lets her guard down. So there. I guess we showed you.

You are correct. I believe he was an anesthesiologist. I regret loaning my copy of that finest kind work of prose to a chick who never returned it.
That would require them having the balls to exact such retribution.
Something is up, though.

AKA <i>we&#039;re so fucked.</i>
Wait....the Kochs donated to Democrats?
Not wrapping my head around this at all...
Sometimes (most times?) being a Democrat is like being a cheerleader for Charlie Brown while Lucy holds the football.
I&#039;m not a democrat...I&#039;m a liberal. Democrats go to meetings.
Confucius say, those who lay down with plutocrats wake up with shame.
Your spouse has my admiration for his/her blunt but accurate assessment of the situation.
Dear Kocks
