Watching Boehner the Entertainer last night on Colbert, it was noteworthy that when Stephen gave him a "lightning round" by naming several Dem and GOP politicians, Boehner said "I could work with him" about several of the Dems. "I could work with him (or her)" was what was important to Boehner. And he obviously still uses his political tact, EXCEPT with Cruz, whom he said is "Lucifer." (And he also broke down WHY Ted Cruz is such an asshole for his stunts. Despite his background, I might just buy Boehner's book.

Slightly O/T, my favorite Washington State wine is BOOM BOOM, a syrah by Charles Smith.

Saying "social networks" when you mean Facebook gives Facebook a pass, And that is why she included Twitter.

The problem is not really social networks. Tumblr was not such an issue, and is built to minimize harassment and enable anonymous use. Twitter has not embraced genocide.

Bachmann is real upset because when you insult her, you're actually insulting all Republicans GOD.

Yeah, I enjoyed the interview. Won't read the book, but "Lucifer in the flesh, the most miserable son of a bitch I ever worked with," was good.

They've been working on it for millennia since the lions dined on long pork.

Nah! If it was Ted's dog all we'd see is its belly, hind leg and a stream of piss raining down.

"Like which Merlots pair best with failure and regret."

Well done, Stephen.

I'm rooting for them to have a death match, 'cause then we win either way.

I'm beginning to wonder whether Ted Cruz really was the most intelligent person in his law class, just because he's been telling everyone that ever since then.

Yeah, but instead of cleaning the water, they pollute it.
