I meant the debate, not the game.

Football fever is no respecter of political creed.

i don't know, this seems to me an end of summer media manufactured 'dust up' that didn't even last one day. the republicans were assholes. bamz was gracious. it's all pretty meaningless.

OR we could just start celebrating the wonders of the perry presidency.

O/T and sans snark: I love your handle. Which sounds unintentionally dirty.

Really, we need an excuse for that? How 'bout, I'm breathing and thus need to paint my face, rip off my shirt, and drink beer. MisterBarry encourages these activities.

I know I won't be watching... is this going to be "hosted" by Faux News zombies asking tough questions like "why do you think Obama hates America?"

We have "separate but equal" branches of government so the House doesn't have to do anything the POTUS asks*. But Boehner and his crowd seem to take special pleasure in pushing back at assertions of presidential prerogatives and authority. Like not returning phone calls, shouting "you lie", saying "where's the birf. cert". And don't get me started about confirmation hearings.

In my job, I am expected to work cooperatively but speak the truth. That doesn't keep me from showing up and listening. But next time my boss tells me to attend some meeting, I'll decline by reason of needed "security sweeps". See ya on the unemployment lines, wonketeers. ________________________ * Under Dubya's "unitary presidency" congress did everything he asked without question. Maybe he waterboarded them.
