- John McCain is still tilting towards earmark windmills, and shaking and asking his magic Twitter, rhetorically?, if, um, hellooo? it’s ever heard of another type of Internet called the Wikipedia and if so, why should the government endow public arts programs? [Hotline On Call]
- Those purple ticket people, the ones whom you might remember were inhumanly inconvenienced during Barry’s Inauguration, have for whatever reason demanded and received commemorative Joe Biden sex pin-ups from Diane Feinstein. [Ben Smith]
- Huffington Post comedy site DemocraticCongressionalCampaignCommittee.com has created a fun novelty form in which users “role play” as one of the many Republicans who were forced to apologize to Rush Limbaugh recently. Meme! [Top of the Ticket]
- Gordon Brown, dauphin of the forgotten island nation of Great Britain, addressed our Congress this morning and gave a special English-accented hello to Ted Kennedy, who was just today crowned the Governor-General of the British East India Company. [CNN Political Ticker]
- Obama is keeping his promise to Nevada, and is probably not going to dump America’s nuclear waste in its mountains after all. [Washington Post]
McCain: “how does one manage a beaver?”
Divorce it when it lands in a wheelchair. zing!
Something needs to be dumped into Nevada. How about all those toxic assets?
Someday we’re all going to saying “Rush who?” I can’t wait.
Mr. Brown said that us noble Americans should recognize that the poor economy is a global event and we should think of the starving children of Europe (wiping away a tear), proclaimed Tedward Kennedy to be a knight of the old Britty Kingdom and smiled broadly showing the crooked and yellow results of his socialized dental care. He then elbowed AIG aside and begged Obama for a zillion bucks to bail out the Euro.
somehow I think Walnuts has a different thing going when he “shakes his Magic Twitter”.
Sussemilch: And he got 17 standing ovations (according to the BBC World News). And Bush was to scared to go before the House of Commons because they might ’say something’.
Those purple ticket people are still around? Does this means that there are some Obamabots as unforgiving as Pumas?
“Sen. John McCain (R-AZ): “#4. $143,000 for Nevada Humanities to develop and expand an online encyclopedia - Anyone heard of Wikipedia?” - 3/2, 3:57 PM”
So 3 months ago Walnuts couldn’t use his opposable thumbs to access the internets, and now he’s an expert on Wikipedia and Twitter?
Somehow I think he’s read one of the “Internets for Dummies” type books. Or he used his extra congressional staffing budget to hire an intern from Oral Roberts “University”.
The budget provides no answers as to what the administration proposes to do with the approximately 57,700 tons of nuclear waste at more than 100 temporary sites around the country, or with the approximately 2,000 tons generated each year by nuclear power plants.
Where to put that nuclear waste? Y’know, there’s about 1600 acres near Crawford, Texas that are already toxic to intelligent life — it wouldn’t hurt a damn thing to dump it all there.
Look, these “purple ticket people” have a genuine grievance. What happened to them was worse than 9/11 and asbestos, combined.
Sussemilch: Hey, teeth are meant to be yellow and crooked!
Actually, I’m entirely why me and my compatriots are not as obsessed with having pure-white straight teeth. The NHS will give you braces when you’re growing up. I assume you’d have to pay for whitening, but I guess there’s not many dental plans here that cover purely cosmetic whitening. I suppose it’s the fact that if you get most things for (nearly) free, you’d never consider paying for extra services. That, and you’d have to go to a different Dentist (I think) to get it done.
That said, people a few years older than me have mouths full of mercury fillings, because the NHS used to pay the dentist more if they put in a filling, so they went filling-crazy.
Old John, poor John, didn’t those boys out in Sturgis teach you nothin’ about how to handle a beaver?
I have come to the conclusion that any headline that ends with a question mark means that the “journalist” who wrote it has already made a conclusion and is trying to infer it to those who are dumb enough to read beyond the headline.
The headline should read:
“We think Obama is empowering right wing media critics.”
A reference to John Company. Clearly we live in the best of all possible worlds. Unless … uh … you’re a Republican with some responsibility and have had the temerity to say anything about the Republican Suslov.
Just a semantic point, but aren’t all knighthoods more or less honorary now? I mean, it’s not like Kennedy and Paul McCartney are going to have to go slay Saracens for the queen any time soon.
Well, the British East India Company does make the best gin.
How many times can Twitter jumped the damn shark?
friendlynerd: “How does one manage a beaver?”
Thank you John McCain! Your penetrating question has just provided me with my lesson plans for tomorrow’s classes. Essay question! Pencils up!
My residual hate of McAngry has been almost entirely eroded by his twitter feed. Why *are* these things in a recession budget? I’m all for arts funding, but convention centers? He’s got a point.
Although Claire MC. is my one true gov’t twit-love, with the straight forward mom-blog/senator feed. It’s bizarrely honest.
Why would Gordon Brown give an “English-accented hello” to Ted? Being a Scotsman and everything.
“Managing the beaver”… Indeed, a question that has occupied and bedevilled philosophers and menfolk of all ages and rank throughout history.
WALNUTS! speaketh before the House of grand, universal themes… Much easier than contributing any remotely useful suggestions about how to dig the economy out of the hole his Party spent the last eight years burying it in, I suppose.
