Now that we’ve all had time to mourn Robert Byrd, let’s talk replacements! West Virginia’s Secretary of State has stared at the confusing law-words on the subject and announced that Democratic Governor Manchin can appoint some Democrat to fill out almost the whole rest of Byrd’s term; a special election will be held in 2012 to fill out the last two months of the term, for some reason, along with a real election to pick the Robert Byrd of the next fifty years. Will Manchin and his man-chin be that next Robert Byrd? He’d sure like to be! [WP]- It’s actually pretty important to the Democrats that Manchin find some seat-warming yahoo who will vote the right way but won’t be more popular than Manchin or run against him in 2012, because Russ Feingold won’t vote for the financial regulation bill (too wimpy, says Russ) and it won’t pass without that extra vote.

- The FDA has said that maybe industrial farmers shouldn’t pump healthy animals full of freakish amounts of antibiotics, just to make them fatter and more delicious! But don’t worry, it’s not as if they have any plans to enforce this opinion on anybody. [NYT]

“it’s not as if they have any POWER to enforce this opinion on anybody.”
Fixed.
Nice picture of Limbaugh. Shouldn’t he be demand Oxycotin instead of antibiotics?
“Precarious 58-41 MINORITY”
Fixed.
1. That cow’s herd must have some kinda dental plan.
2. Think it’s hard to floss? Trying doing it with hooves.
Manchin could appoint a Massey Coal executive, but that could really blow up in his face. Hey yo!
Representative Louise M. Slaughter, Democrat of New York and chairwoman of the House Rules Committee, said the F.D.A. had “not gone far enough or moved fast enough.”
She will not be happy until nation’s herds are all Slaughtered, by antibiotics.
Perhaps we could kill two byrds with one stone and feed the fatted calf with the obviously preserved remains of the late Senator? I’m sure his flesh has a half life that could feed entire generations of bovines! Including Cheney.
That cow picture is freaking me out, man.
[re=608252]the problem child[/re]: I appreciate the cover you’ve provided my horrific puns.
The American People DEMAND that the obstructionist Democrats stop stalling and obstructing the majority Republican leadership’s bold vision for….
Errr…
Y’all are going to make West Virginia jokes for months now, aren’t you? I got $5 says you can’t make it the whole way without an incest reference.
Cheney has survived, and has returned in a powerful new mechanical body, his fiendish father King Cold in tow.
Free Range Democrats.
You’ve got to love a system agricultural policy is determined solely by the interests of the farmers, and the rest of us get to go fuck ourselves (or well, die of antibiotic-resistant pneumonia).
All true Christian farmers know that these so-called superbugs cannot exist, because evil-ution is a secular lie, all bacteria remain in the same as when Jesus created them to punish the sinners.
[re=608273]JMP[/re]: AND we poison ourselves with household cleaners, too. Developing intelligence was a mistake, obvs.
[re=608258]Geogre[/re]: Well…incest is best. Put dad to the test. There…now, go buy yourself a Venti or something
I say we fill Byrd’s seat with WV best fiddler, but then I remembered that is how the Republican primaries are decided.
[re=608255]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]: That’s a happy cow and happy cows come from California. So, what the fuck is she doing in West Virginia?
WV is a beautiful state, but almost all the people there are just dumb as rocks. Do they stop at pre-school there? We’ve been pouring tax dollars into that black hole of ignorance since the 60′s and “no improvement noted.” Give it back to Virginia and give somebody else that star on the flag.
Dick Cheney slated his thirst for the blood of the innocent at a Washington, D.C., Masonic lodge and emerged into the sunlight, stronger than ever.
I’m pretty sure you meant “slaked his thirst,” not “slated his thirst.”
[re=608256]actor212[/re]: I’ll make some snowballs, you go ahead and throw them…that way plausible deniability on the rocks I sneak into them.
[re=608295]Tcaalaw[/re]: He might have been thinking of “sated,” but that would not have been right either, thats a hunger thing, not a thirst thing. Maybe he thinks he’s Lewis Carrol, and he has invented a new portmanteau word! Like “chortled,” slated = sated + slaked?
[re=608295]Tcaalaw[/re]: Yeah, if it were Slate, the blood would make you thirstier, somehow.
Notice that everytime Darth runs afoul of the US Constitutional laws he suddenly has a “heart-attack”? His daughters, Elvira und Lady Ga-Ga for split-tail show up on the closest FOX affiliate to re-pug Daddy’s billions of blood soaked $$$ into their Estate duh DeSade with O’Liely or Sean Insannity chugging down the Old Fitzgeralds by the buckets, coveting, “Ol’ Bloody Mess’s” BP connections.
Obama should’ve replaced Gen’l “Bite-Me” with FOX ‘news’ anchors like fat pasta ass Kneel Cavuto or panty eater Regreta Van Sistine Chappelle.
[re=608295]Tcaalaw[/re] and [re=608300]Prommie[/re]: Argh, yes, typo! The T and K keys are, uh, right next to each other, you see.
[re=608303]Can O Whoopass[/re]: you make me larf!

[re=608418]missly12[/re]: OMG, how did you know i’m looking for althy men??!!! YES!
Is that one of those “Happy Cows” from California?
[re=608418]missly12[/re]: Ohh, Missly. I ruv you rong time!
WTF.
[re=608291]steverino247[/re]: “Give [West Virginia] back to Virginia and give somebody else that star on the flag.”
Virginia sez, no thank you; give it to Kentucky instead.
[re=608286]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]: Oh, my family tree has branches.
On the other hand, I dated a woman from north Georgia for a year or so who was actually the product of incest. Other than having no ancillary hair, she was fine. Her brother, on the other hand, was born with atavistic fangs.
WV “never gets better” because of several things, including child labor, isolation, and funding schools by local tax bases (see Jonathan Kozol’s Savage Inequalities for a serious but depressing answer). Byrd did vanity projects, and roads won’t do anything by themselves except let those “right to work” exploiters get to the desperately poor workforce, where they can pollute and drain the area (which they tend to scorn, as they’re not from there in the first place and view it as an imposition) before leaving for the next area that wants to race to the bottom.
Say… if they’re affluent singles, then why are they advertising? Does this mean they’ll pay for sex?

EAT MOAR CHIKEN!
West Virginia is bad, but at least it isn’t Ohio. There’s a reason everyone in Ohio has the last name of Taft.
[re=608280]TGY[/re]: I would be totally fine with a bunch of dumbshit iowans and texans who live
40 miles from the nearest hospital deciding how best to raise the 1000 or so cattle they have.
they can pray to snakehandlers all fucking day so long as they stay out the chemistry lab.
unfortunately, agri-business/factory & corporate farming sorts (dow, ADM, cargill, pilgrim’s pride, tyson, IBP, mcdonalds, et al) don’t really like family farmers.
[re=608909]pat robertsons personal trainer[/re]: What have you got against Iowa? They do 75 percent of the work in choosing our next president every four years.
