Why does this bird have no tentacles?

Unfortunately, this is more like a destroy-the-world sequence. He doesn't need "policy people" as long as he has ALEC to provide his policies.

He does still need "messaging people" to try to fool his constituents into thinking he's not batshit insane.

What, they're still breathing? Un must be a pussy.

This comment may appear near another comment, which is apparently being vetted by the administrators. I may have inadvertently discovered another ratchet-and-pawl term. Or maybe it's just me.

EDIT: I guess it isn't going to be next to another comment of mine, which has fallen into the non-approval event horizon. This is odd, in that I don't think the now-not-here comment contained any of the known "boing" terms. Hmm.

<blockquote> It's Mad Men in Politics and politics is sold exactly the same way as carbonated sugar water.

Correction: carbonated <i>high fructose corn syrup</i> water.

and the bartender says "Hi, Mitt".

(I know this doesn't compare to your taxonomically correct humour, but it's election season).

That's strangely calming. Either I'm about to die or I'm about to have more tako than you can imagine.

Exactly.

"I've got my policies right here -- just came off the fax. Now, where are my messaging gnomes?"

Really, I didn't think this was black hole material, or even a Roche sisters matter. I just expressed surprise that the relevant engineers were still respiring, and made a reference to the current head honcho of NK as evidently being a feline sort of person.

That's it. I didn't save a copy, so I cannot check for unintended character sequences. It was about as useless a comment as one can make (I'm good at those). I didn't expect it to probe the limits of Intense Derp.

Yeah. I can't really say I'm <i>disappointed</i> that Russ isn't gonna take out Scotty, because it is, after all, his life, and if he doesn't want to do the politics thing any more, who am I (who never did anything politically) to complain?

But I do think it's unfortunate that he's lost the urge. Firstly, because it takes the recall from a slam to a nail-biter; and secondly, because Feingold is the kind of person I'd like to see in elective office (as opposed to many of those who are actually in elective office).

Evidently, he is happy with his decisions, and I can't really argue with that.
