Stand with him where? On the deck of his boat? The front porch of his home in NH/MA/CA? The lobby of the Post Office in the Cayman Islands?

Like the Old Man of the Mountain, he's a NH fixture that crashed to the ground years ago. Efforts to restore either one are futile.

Moscato? You'd have to be on your third bottle, and flying solo.

Horses are corporations too, my friend.

Seriously, how the fuck do you deduct the cost of feeding a goddam dancing horse?

"Heals" is a perfectly good word, and it's spelt rite.

It's the same thing Rushbo did about Sandra Fluke. "Sorry that those words offended you, you oversensitive commie".

Mitt probably just wants to propose a <strike>Mutually</strike> Mormonly Beneficial Arrangement.

He used the words that were there in his head -- and he's oblivious to the problem presented by the fact that they were there at all.

On the one hand, municipal and state offices are the right places for third parties to try to establish themselves. On the other hand, I do wish the leftie third-partiers (e.g., Greens) would at least consider passing up <i>tight</i> races where they know they're only gonna get a few per cent.

There is some merit to the argument that many of their votes may come from folks who would not otherwise vote for either the D or the R. But <i>some</i> of their votes would otherwise have gone to a major party candidate, and it is extremely likely that the loss from the D side is greater than the loss from the R.

I'm always a bit amazed at how many third party voters insist that there is no difference between the major parties. It's almost like they have to believe that in order to justify their third-party affiliation.

Congrats on your first kilocomment.

I guess that might be a shade worse than the $77,000 tax deduction for dressage horse expenses: <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/sto..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/06/18/1100947/...">http://www.dailykos.com/sto...
