Ugh, is this how people in Rome felt in the decades between barbarian sackings? You know, those supposedly "quiet" gaps in the Historical Timelines between momentous & terrible events? And are we at the end of one terrible-yet-mundane space between Major Catastrophes -- 9/11 and then ...
I drove a Corvair in 1970-71. Great little car, even if it did have that trademark GM handling... I think 65% of the weight was on the rear wheels, which made for great starts and scary turns. Perfect for donuts in a parking lot, but for the streets, ehhhh ... not so much.
Koch to the unemployed white bumpkins: "Gimme a tax break and I might give you a job."
So they vote for the teabaggers, and wait. If they're still unemployed by November 2012, they'll listen to the teabaggers' shit about how it's all Obama's fault, rather than admit they've been sucker-punched by the Republicans AGAIN. Part of me feels bad for the morons, but part of me wants to slap the shit out of them for being so fucking stupid.
The tax cuts expire unless there's legislation that extends them. The Dems control the Senate, and they could, if they only had the freaking balls, vote down extensions and let the cuts fucking expire.
This is the time to give the teabaggers a taste of their own "no compromise" tactics.
yes that was my point about bamz' scotus picks.
there are many things i wish this administration had done differently (for instance: succeeded in firing a - metaphorical - cap in netanyahu's ass) but anyone who thinks the mccain / palin administration would have followed a better course is smoking something i wanna be smoking.
Future historians referred to this period as the 'Golden Age' before the Perry/Bachmann administrations led to the Second Constitutional Convention which removed all previous amendments with the statement that "God is above, the Devil below, and trial by fire shall determine witchcraft."

No wonder O'Donnell was so frantically denying her status!

How did he avoid a GOP-led recall?
Yeah ... you wanna have a contest?
you missed Honorius of rome. or wait, perhaps that should be the Alaric I?
it's so hard to tell the difference between the sacker and the sackee.
i said 'wake me up in october' but i like yours better.
HAHAHAHA and day 3 proves just as astonishing:
day #1: fed chairman treason! day #2: climate changes is fake and scientists lie! day #3: holes in theory of evolution!
talk about a race to the bottom.
oh THAT is just delicious. a popover.
and this certainly won't be all over wonkette soon:
“I’ve got a big mouthful,” Perry said and then ordering a glass of water.
Along the same lines, I'm working on a history of the Jesus-Nero period.
I thought you could just wait them out. That's what Obama would do.

We're a bit close to events here to start making such sweeping statements.
They say you can't see the forest for the trees. Well, in historical terms you might say our nose is buried in the bark.
Remember when Henry Kissinger asked the Chinese Premier what he thought of the French Revolution? "Too early to tell."
yeah, 'tom', i can certainly see how barry picked justices JUST like alito and roberts.
jesus are we in the summer doldrums or what?
