Dear Mr. President,
This country is bursting at the seams with armed to the teeth, certifiable crazy people. Please refrain from “date night”.
Thank you.
Maybe now the Dumbocrats will use the 51-vote “nuclear option” to pry health care out of the committees in honor of Ted. It might mean the end of democracy as we know it (only 51 votes to do something important? OMG!) but maybe some poor kids could have health insurance.
Nah, fuck ‘em. I’ve got mine! The poor will always be with us! God must love poor people because he made so many of ‘em! Ha ha!
Only those of us in the inner-circle of the Church of All Worlds can properly grok the concept of “public option”.
“Hey honey, I got my picture taken with the President and it is going to run in the New York Daily News! Let’s buy 100 copies so that I can show everyone I know!”
“Oh crap.”
Richie Rich gets his stock options; all we want is our pubic options.
freakishlystrong:
Yeah. I’ve been thinking that are probably a number of people hearing voices from god telling them that their precious bullets are the chosen ammunition. Obama needs a Kevlar jump suit when goes out into the public. He could glue some sequins on it to add some class. Kind of like Elvis only different.
God did that restaurant dude a favor. If my nipples and elbows sweat like that, I’d wish to remain anonymous.
“god” and “dollar” are just two ways of saying the same thing in murka, to wit:
“in god we trust”
“in dollar we trust”
see?
(rest in peace, senator)
I do not believe the report on the food Barry Sorento ate- tuna tartare and ribs and steak? where are the fetuses and the Muslin and Kenyan food, huh??
V572625694: Now that Ted is with Yoda and Obi-Wan, maybe he’ll use the force to persuade Obama to actually push for a public option.
Wow! Vacation seems to sit well with Barry. He looks great. Nice tan!
What? Never mind….
Monsieur Grumpe:
Memoo too idiote. Doon’t writ befor cofoe. Arrrrgh.
finallyhappy: He is on vacation from vegetables, apparently.
Good choice on the restaurant. If he goes to the fucking Black Dog, I’m voting for Palin.
finallyhappy: I’m sure Glen Beck will claim they were white-baby back ribs.
Country Club Jihadi: How ’bout Beardo McEyeballs in the pic gawking away at the lactating nipples?
Waco Bandito: That’s the problem. Obama’s black half hates all whites. His white half hates all blacks. That’s why he wants to do everything for the Muslins and Messicans.
But does anyone understand God and Magod?
Clamps: I thought he was looking lower, maybe at his huge welcome sign.
Michael Jackson’s significantly less talented brothers, also. And also.
They would actually feed off the corpse but after two autopsies and an embalming there ain’t much meat left and what is there has a gnarly chemical aftertaste.
Cape Clod: The Black Dog has done a special t-shirt in honor of Bo. I think it says “There is another black dog on the island - Bo, 2009.” Not a joke- really!
So $7.1 trillion to $9 trillion, huh? Well, that’s about all I could get from that NYTimes article since I must be a member to read the rest of the story. (I’m pretty sure I got the gist of it from the headline.)
Sara, God is a concept by which we measure our pain. You’ll understand one day.
Ted’s death has made me so melancholy that I can barely bring the snark, but for the the sake of his memory, I will try.
Tuna tartar to start, then ribs and steak? No wonder the man wants universal healthcare.
Hey, at least the deficit exists.
And RIP Ted. He had a charmed life, in many ways, though even many of us poor bastards wouldn’t have traded places with him. Ted Kennedy Universal Healthcare Bill, anyone?
finallyhappy: God, I fucking hate them.
Cape Clod: Never been there myself. Is it pretentious or just crappy food and/or bad service?
The food is lame, service sucks. What started as a homey, unpretentious eatery on the water has turned into a giant excuse to flog all manner of merchandice at exorbitant prices to tourists. A real islander wouldn’t be caught dead wearing any of their stuff.
I’m thinking Jim Belushi and Joaquin Phoenix. A famous dead brother will get you in the door, but you have to have talent if you want to stay.
Our ten-year projected deficit is so large that the human mind cannot grasp it, any more than it can grasp the concept of “God.”
So the deficit doesn’t exist?
