The turd-flinging rabid monkey cage match is BACK ON in Washington: GOP lawmakers are holding a bitter, pointless fight with the White House over Barack Obama’s Marxist plot to deliver his all-important “hobo jobs for no one” speech to Congress on the VERY SAME NIGHT AT THE VERY SAME HOUR that the GOP is planning to hold its 108th terrible brainless debate of the presidential election season. What will America’s viewers choose? Economic Doom Newzhour with Barack Obama OR the chance to watch Rick Perry curse out Social Security while Rick Santorum humps his leg in the vain hope that some Perry poll number magic might rub off?
The White House started this by requesting a joint session of Congress to make the jobs speech on the scheduled GOP debate day of September 7, to which John Boehner replied, “suck my orange skin” in this letter telling Obama to move the date of the speech to the following day. BUT September 8 is an American religious holiday known as the NFL season opener, so no, that won’t do. Blah blah, political accusations flying like drunken fists in a meth-addled Arizona trailer trash strip joint brawl.
Here is the White House pretending like it wasn’t on purpose:
Asked whether the speech was purposefully scheduled the same night as the Republican debate, White House press secretary Jay Carney said, “Of course not.”
“It is coincidental,” said Carney, who explained that a number of considerations were taken into account when Obama settled on Sept. 7.
“One debate of many that’s on one channel of many was not enough of a reason” to pick another date, Carney said.
And then Carney suggested the GOP debate would at least be able to draw viewers away from the Wildlife Channel. Haha, ZING. [The Hill/ Fox News]

Goddamn, not another Republican debate. It's like the herpes – it just never seems to clear up!
the gift that keeps on giving. at least in a comedic sense.
Not only will they not go away, Herpetic Infections are Painful!!1!
As are watching the debates without being in an alcohol induced stupor. And even then it can still hurt.
What will America’s viewers choose? Porn.
So you're saying they'll choose the Republican debate.
Oh, that kind of porn!
I think that works for tea bagger fapping.
I've got 18 dvds of women's pro wrestling from Japan and the Indepent leagues. I'm set for whichever.
So, you're hosting? We should bring booze? Wut?
Given the US public's penchant for idiocy and monkeys flinging poo at each other over sober, reasoned speech, I don't think the Repubs have to worry about getting bitch-slapped by Obama in the Nielsens. And even if they did, hey, invisible hand, motherfuckers!!
Is the debate to see who is the teabaggiest of them all?
HA HA – our entire country is going down the proverbial toilet and these douchebags are bikering over when the Preznit can talk because some stupid debate that really nobody cares about is on. How about we postpone all of this bullshit and you assholes just go to fucking work and do your jobs helping Merikans get jawbs!
You mean cut corporate tax rates (further)? I hear that creates jobs. I'm all a flutter waiting for the corporate tax rate to be 0% so that everyone is fully employed.
Lower damn it! Pay those corporations to stay in business.
"flying like drunken fists in a meth-addled Arizona trailer trash strip joint brawl."
Leave Bristol out of this.
They best get this squared away right qwik so I know when to set me recordin' machine fer Hillbilly Handfishin. Next week they gonna catch a fish with nuttin but toe jam! Hot damn!
It would be cool if the Wildlife channel showed a program about evolution at the same time as the Republican debate.
If you guys don't think Barry planned this little kerfluffle then you have another think coming: All this pointless bullshit is how the Republicans are going to lose the Moderates this cycle. The Black Eagle is just giving them another chance to look like the obstructionist assholes they are…
Are you saying this is that 3-D chess game that we used to hear Obama was playing while the rest were just throwing checkers at each other?
I believe in the 3-Dimentional Chess Game! I do I do I do!
He fucked them hard on the Budget Compromise, but I think most of us missed what a win it was for him.
Depends on the outcome of the Super Committee, dudn't it? But I hope you're right!
Regardless of the Super Committee (which I think is going to turn out to be a bullshit do-nothing showboat committee, frankly), he tricked them into giving up the Bush Tax Cuts right during election season, thusly:
In exchange for a promise not to cut any entitlement programs in the future, cuts to entitlement programs were made.
In the same compromise, it was decided that any increase in spending would be balanced by an equal measure of cuts.
The Bush tax cuts must be extended before they expire in December of 2012, but to do that an equal measure of cuts (and we are talking about a HUGE sum here) will have to be found to pay for the extension. The only piece of the budget large enough to handle cuts that large is the Military budget (don't forget, entitlements are off the table).
This gives Republican congressmen a choice: either let the tax cuts expire, or make hugely unpopular cuts to Military spending. Both choices aggravate the Republican base, and the best part is…
…the President doesn't have to do anything but admonish congress to "do its job" and "abide by the constraints of the agreement". He comes out smelling of roses. If he can keep Reid from caving and agreeing to a temporary extension of the cuts during election season, that is.
It worked out better for Obama's campaign than it did for the poor and disenfranchised in our country, but you have to admit, it's worthy of Kasparov…
He's still slaughtering and torturing Afghans, etc.
Very hard. 98% of what they wanted sure as hell did not include "cuts to Medicare providers ONLY" (given that they mostly vote Repig) as opposed to cuts to recipients. I don't think most people have looked at exactly what he has done, and it is a win for him — a huge win. The teagaggers' poll numbers are pretty horrible right now, and given that the media almost never says anything negative about them, what else can I attribute this to except his manoeuvering?
Between the 3D chess and the current debates, I believe there was a transporter accident.
Somewhere in this universe there is an evil version of Bammers with a goatee. We need to find that guy and send him to negotiate with Boner.
Plus, evil Bammers will have the advantage of having had to negotiate with a sober, intelligent Boner in his universe.
I will give that guy all my muneezz, providing he brings on Evil Tiger Woods as his VP for 2012.
How will the baggers like that? 2 dudes total, 1 black, 1 miscellaneous.
At this point it's more of a 3-D Candy Land.
I just want to point out that when Our Hopey took office, Pox Ooze was THE most trusted source of news for 'Murka. Two-and-a-half years later, Glenn Beck is gone and Pox is just another news channel that is quickly losing viewers. I credit Hopey with this. He's a strategic thinker. He plans long-term moves. He offered the Republicans $4 trillion in spending cuts, and they actually walked away from that. They have the propaganda machine, but I've looked at plenty of the stuff he's done, and despite the oft-touted meme of "he's giving away the house," I see no evidence for that in the actual legislation.
I was feeling kind of hopey myself until I read the word "bipartisan" like 8 times in his statement. Same ol', same ol', Ol'Bama. We're fucked.
I disagree. What is he going to say to the rest of 'Murka that doesn't think like us? "Here's some PARTISAN legislation I want you to support"? That is hell to the FAIL right there. He's speaking the language that they want to hear. I don't think he's the progressive hope. He never promised to be. But I don't think any progressive can win an election in this nation any more. And I do think that he has given us many good things,and that's how politics is done. We try for a bit here, a bit there, all the time keeping the broad general goal in mind: a better life for the people. Sometimes you have to give up two counters at the top left to retain three counters at the bottom right, which is a more strategically important position. I would like to see an end to the wars we're currently engaged in; but I count it as a win that he's strengthened the FDA and made it impossible for the kind of shenanigans in hiring that resulted in Regent U grads filling the DoJ.
Overall, I believe we're making progress. The fact is, there will never be a perfect candidate. We have to utilize the strengths of any candidate we get, as best we can.
Wish I had your optimism, Pantalones. Mebbe I just need to get my Paxil dosage upgraded, I dunno. But I think progressives can win now, more than ever. The youth of America are more progressive than my generation. I have two sibs that are moderate to conservative (not wingnut) Repubs and one sib who is a moderate, leaning-liberal Dem, but out of our combined 8 offspring, 7 are flaming liberals and I still have hope for the 8th. I see it in their peers, too. My youngest son came out of the closet recently, and my oldest son told me afterwards that he wondered why his brother had to announce he's gay, and what he was saying was why does anyone have to announce that they're gay. To him, no big whoop. The kidz are going to make this a better world, if the oldz will just let them. And Obama is one of the oldz. Sorry.
No worries, flamingpdog. I delight in your wit and snark (you have plenty of that), and I do get what you're saying. It's just that we're not *there* yet, and in order for the kids to make this a better world, we have to do some things yet to smooth their way. But that's my opinion, and opinions are like arseholes – everybody has one, and nobody's is that goddamned special. (OK, maybe goatse, but not most other people.)
Personally, I'd be happy to pop my clogs if it would mean some fine progressive young people would take over this poor battered old earth and treat it with the love and respect it deserves. We Oldz have done a pretty shitty job, despite all our railing at *our* parents that we were going to make the world a better place.
I'm one of those youngins and overall my peers are very progressive. Even the right-leaning types who grew up rich and love tax cuts think the Republican stances on reproductive rights, gays, and Muslims is absolutely appalling.
The problem is largely apathy. Who has time to follow politics when you're riddled with debt, you're underpaid if you're lucky enough to find a job, and you still want to enjoy drinking and sexytimes while you're still young enough for it to be awesome?
I have full faith my generation will be ok. Our crazy social internet contraptions are toppling Middle Eastern dictators and people all over the world are clamoring for democracy. Everyone always says the youngins are ruining the world, but things will get even better after some of these old prejudices die off with this largely intolerant group of olds we currently have watching Fox News and voting Republican.
I'm with you, this isn't no mistake. He wants to mess with them, go Barry!
when i heard mara liassom getting her bad self all worked up about this stupid stupid thing, i immediately thought this was planned.
boehner look churlish and the repub debate gets all sorts of focus it doesn't need as no one's started weeding out the wingnuts yet.
I am more and more coming to believe that both the Dem and GOP leaders are jerking about to the commands of one puppet-master.
I'll watch Santorum leg-humping any day. But with the sound off and Whale Sounds playing instead.
Or "Yakety-Sax"
But you know who the real victim is here…Sarah Palin!
Has she announced when she's going to quit again yet?
Boener is a walking ad for Paxil.
Let's see, bonobo knife fight or the President talking about Steve Jobs.
I believe the answer is DRINK!

I'll be watching Master Chef ,,,
I'll be watching the Yankees obliterate the Orioles.
I'll be watching one of the 26 shows about people buying old abandoned storage lockers.
I'll be watching Master Bates.
Come on Bammers, it's Republican Santorum wrasslin' night. Or did Santorum pull out already?
Santorum doesn't pull out, Marcus does.
Santorum doesn't pull out, it just kinda dribbles out.
A picture of monkeys?? I invoke the "THAT's RACIST" .gif!!
Glenn Beck says you can call them "colored," though.
It's only racist if the story's about Herman Cain.
It's a promotional shot from the next Planet of the Apes film.
So have the debate in the House of Representatives. Seriously. Have all 48 illiterate God-Fearing feral lazy wingnut candidates in the front row, where the US Supreme Court might have sat, had they not been previously offended by this very same Kenyan President.
Is there gonna be any new jobs in America, I said No….No…..No!
Am I gonna go to rehab baby, I said No…No…No!
IMO-AW
Too soon?
Quick–somebody set up a televised debate–and by debate, I mean gangbang– between the rubes from Jersey Shore and the ass emporium that is the Kardashian dynasty. Let's show 'em how sick this country really is!!1!
Mmm, "ass emporium"!
Thanks for that phrase, "Ass Emporium". I am sure that it will come in handy in the future, please call me on it if I fail to credit you as the author. As for myself, I think I'm going to catch the highlite reel the day after. Both presidential speeches and republican debates are just too damn depressing these days to be consumed whole.
I'm going to wait for the Reader's Digest Corn-densed version.
You have my $54.99 for the HD PPV in the bag!
I thought Eric Cantor was Speaker.
Cantor is more of a whiner.
Eric Cantor is an idiot. If republicans had there way they would have him shot, along with traitor Joe Lieberman, and Michelle Bachmann. Some poeple STILL don't get what the GOP want Merka to be, a tiny whitey ruling class with gas chambers for the "undesirables", minorities, white trash and jews are going to be first to find out about these supply-side Jesus diabolical bastards should they get control of all three branches of the government.
Good lord, I gather you have been into the martinis.
Don't drink at all, it always got me in trouble (my 1/2 american indian side), however, I do eat percoset 10's like m & m's, due to all the metal in my neck.
He is, at least the de facto one.
Ancient Aliens with my boyfriend Giorgio Tsoukalos for me!
Hey Boehner! Tivo it!
Don't care when they have it so long is it doesn' come on opposite my knife festish show!
No problem for me! Cutlery Corner only runs here at 3am. So it's either watch that, or some hillbilly preacher(s) promising miracles if you send them the last of your hard-earned dollars.
I plan to watch both on a split screen, then jump off the highest building in my area. Which means I'll probably just break my leg, since we don't have any tall buildings. Even that will be more fun.
"Hahaha. What night is his speech? (Pause) Ok. (phones) Uh, Barry. Yeah, it's me. Look, Barry, that night's just not gonna work out. (over his shoulder) He's checking his calendar! I shit you not. (back on phone) Yeah, yeah. No, I'm getting my tan redone that night. (over his shoulder) He's fucking checking again! I love this! (back on phone) Uh huh. well, that date is going to have to come with a guarantee that you'll wear clown makeup and a lobster bib. Uh huh. A lobster bib. Many Americans wear lobster bibs. And clown makeup. Must I take my case to them? Again? (over his shoulder) He's fucking THINKING about it. What a tool. (back on phone) Yeah, you 'let me know' (hangs up) I just looooove fucking with him."
Here's your Wonkette drinking game: watch both events (it looks as though the Repugs may schedule theirs after POTUS, so it can be like a rebuttal) and take a drink every time anyone says "jobs," (either name or noun), "Reagan," or "federal reserve." Call in sick Thursday.
You won't have to call in sick, you'll be dead from the alcohol poisoning by midnight.
If I have to watch a Repub debate, I'm gonna need something stronger than whiskey. You got a tank of ether I can borrow?
You may not have seen it, but front-runner Ron Paul opposes the President speaking about jobs. That was a surprise.
Ron keeps getting paid, so there is NO jobs problem. Objectivism is very tidy that way.
I saw RP on the TV machine last night and he is good entertainment.
once again i read 'ru paul' for 'ron paul' and was bitterly disappointed when reality set in.
That's a Paul 2012 campaign I can believe in!
He's saying Hopey shouldn't be allowed to talk about this topic? Too uppity, or what?
I kind of miss with Papa Doc Paul would go on Russian television to talk shit about the U.S. Though apparently they have not forgot him as they spend a lot of time talking about how great he is and sending illegal campaign contributions.
The real question is: which one is the Wonkette's going to liveblog?
The Republicans. We've already heard what Barry's gonna say, but there's no doubt that turds will be flying out of the candidates' mouths.
The stupid est, the liveblog est.
Michele Bachmann’s response in 5, 4, 3, 2…
"drunken fists in a meth-addled Arizona trailer trash strip joint brawl"
Damn you snotty liberals… LEAVE BRISTOL ALONE.
If the Republicans were smart, they would take this as a blessing, as maybe people will forget the bunch of flip flopping losers and crazies they have running this year. Less exposure is what they really should want right now.
Is there a corrolation between Republican and Assholes? I mean, not all assholes are republicans, but what is the percentage?
Are you kidding? "Follow the Fleet" with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers on TCM that night. With Betty Grable, Randolph Scott and Lucille Ball as "Kitty".
Upfists for days to you, sir or madam .
"Follow the Fleet"
And once again, picking on poor Bristol.
They should all appear on a special edition of "Wipe Out". We'd get just as much useful information and the ratings would kill.
I was thinking Jackass.
Mitt Romney said: "Every time I open my mouth I say something stupid. Let the President have the time slot. It will save me a lot of backtracking. I can work on my house plans. Corporations really are people."
Troglodyte Republicans never heard of TiVo, I guess.

Why do the GOPers hate US America?
Somebody has to remember that he's President of the United States. The sooner he remembers this, the better off we'll all be.
I just sent a full on snark-filled rant via John Boehner's website.
Obama should send Seal Team 6 after Boehner. Double tap.
and Seal Team 69 after Shelley. She looks like she could use one.
and Easter Seal Team 6 to hunt down and capture Republican Jesus.
Led by Jerry Lewis, full comando.
And this situation is why cable, streaming video, DVD's were invented. Barry will depress me, the republicans will make me want to damage my television. Thanks to the NYSE casino and banking community, I really can't afford to kill my television. I'll vote for Barry, but damn, listening to the rhetoric after all this is just beyond me. I'll watch something else or read a good book.
Here's the entire Republican debate so now no one has to watch it (spoiler alert):
"Tax cuts!", "Gay sex is icky!", "Reagan", "It's all Obama's fault!", "Jesus, Reagan, Jesus, but not necessarily in that order!", "Tax cuts!", "9/11", "Black guy's fault!", "I'm now against that thing I used to be in favor of!", "Jesus!", "I'll put killer robots with lasers on the border!", "Jobs creators!", "Tax cuts!" , "Look out, there's a Muslim behind you!", "Tax cuts and goodnight!"
Don't forget .."Yay fetuses!" ,"Women don't deserve vaginas"
Oh, how happy the GOP would be if men had vaginas…
And as the old saying goes, if they did, abortion would be totally legal in the next ten seconds.
You'd have Super Abortions (offshoot of Super Cuts) with a free payperview UFC fight coupon if you get 3 abortions within a month period.
Gargamell (Gingicrich) might sic the cat on you!
You mean this cat? http://www.salon.com/life/feature/2011/05/11/call... .
Didn't she shoot a couple of episodes of Star Trek and didn't she use her eyes as particle weapons? Just sayin'.
Or maybe the cat and himself. (Scroll down, but have brain bleach handy.)
I think "Oh fer fuck's sake" just about covers it.
Sept. 7th , Hmmm! Sept. 7th, I know there is something about that date….Sept. 7th.
Jesus, I wish I could remember.
I'm missing something here, what is it….Sept….
That's it.
Garbage pickup in my neighborhood
They always bump it a day forward when they have one of those Socialist Union Holiday's.
Thanks Mr. Pres. I would have totally forgotten.
Then the wife would have been real pissed, fore sure.
this reminds me: you know what i'm looking forward to?
10th 9/11 celebrations.
that's what i'm SERIOUSLY looking forward to.
What are you going as? I was thinking Mohammed Atta, but maybe that's a little too obvious?Perhaps Dick Cheney in the White House bunker or W. reading My Pet Goat? So many possibilities!
Which one is better, crying eagle, or Jesus wept?
Out here in the Square State, we're gonna celebrate by singing Bomb, bomb, bomb – bomb, bomb Iran.
NINE ELEVEN GLASSES! GET YER NINE ELEVEN GLASSES HERE! ONLY TWENTY DOLLARS! NINE ELEVEN GLASSES!
Only if they come already filled with strong liquor.
Well, my fear of not using enough implied imagery is realized – I meant like the glasses with numbers you wear on the bridge of your nose at New Years. Sorry, I'm going to my room now to think about what I've done.
At what point do we stop pretending that these things are actually debates? More like non sequitur contests.
The last time I watched a Barry speech, we played a tequilla drinking game where everyone took a shot when he said "let me be perfectly clear." I was bombed in 20 mimutes. I watched the first GOP debate, and the the shot trigger was blaming Obama. I lasted maybe 15 minutes. Crap, my liver needs a break-how's October looking?
If you switch to taking a drink every time Barry says "economic justice," "labor rights," "working class," or "labor union," you'll be fine my friend.
Faced with a choice between Obambi discussing a jobs program that will never be enacted, and a bunch of Repuke dickweeds jabbering in shrill and annoying tones about ??? I choose to drink heavily and wish I had access to uncut diacetylmorphine. It's the only reasonable thing to do.
God knows the Repubs have been so reasonable with things that the President wanted to do during the rest of his term.
As reasonable as any 2-year old spinning on their back in a K-mart parking lot because they can't have every single new toy they want…
I think the last Republican to take part in a genuine debate was Lincoln in 1858.
Aw, dang it. I already had plans to gouge my eyes out with with a red-hot pickle fork that night.
pickle fork? elitist! the rest of us make do with spoons found in the KMart parking lot.
Point taken, but the K-Mart spoons don't heat up so good.
I don't understand this dick move by Boehner — first of all it makes him look like he reflexively obstructs which — and though he doesn't seem to know it these are troubled times — in these troubled times really doesn't turn the voters on.
Furthermore, there are only two things President Obama can/should do strategically: first, draw attention to the idea that, given an opportunity to publicly appear bipartisan and focus on jobs, the Republican leadership opted to play politics instead. Second he should give the speech on Wednesday anyway, from the Oval Office, and say that if the venue wasn't available it didn't matter because the subject at hand is more important and needs to be addressed immediately.
How did Boehner not think about the next move? I'm guessing he doesn't think Obama has the chutzpah to do respond. I so hope he's wrong.
My immediate reaction, after reading his response, was that he (Boehner) got caught on autopilot. But I wonder if, instead, Barry got under his skin and Boehner tried to take a bitchy little swipe at him without consulting the playbook first.
Just another opportunity for the Duke of Orange to look like an impotent dick.
Obama is a pussy, he just capitulated.
I believe he has achieved peace in our time.
Heh, heh I guess Obama put Boner "in his place", right Rush?
Speaking of Rush, Randi Rhodes played an audio of him tonnight saying that Colin Powell is going to vote for Obama "because melanin is thicker than water." When is someone going to kneecap that turgid pile of putrid dingo diarrhea and put American ears and brains out of their misery? I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight unless I can download some Tim Pawlenty speeches onto my CD-alarm clock.
Give up the public option, cave on Bush tax cuts, keep Guantanamo open, ..*sigh* … Pre-empt my World Champion Packers because Tangerine Queen says so – Fuck You.
why doesn't he just speak from the fucking white house?
it's better decorated than congress. fewer assholes on the floor.
Well he wouldn't have anyone to yell "you lie" or other tea bagger epithets
He caved! It's on Thursday now.
Probably the right move. The White House didn't play this very well, and now the focus was going to be on the sturm und drang surrounding the speech and not the speech's content. Not that it matters since nothing he proposes is going to get through the House, unless he proposes "slash the marginal tax rate for rich people to 0%."
This whole dumb speech is such a pathetic stunt. My god. how much more petty and meaningless can it get? Was Obama trying to show he has some fight in him with this little scheduling nonsense? And then he changes his mind within 12 hours of opposition from the Republicans? What is accomplished here? What a circus.
A jobs program right off the bat, maybe in 2009, with Democratic majorities in both houses, would have been pretty good politics, aside from being the right thing to do. Then he would have had an enthusiastic base of supporters, supporting him. But–sheesh, what a joke this presidency is. Worse than Bush in many ways, because of its enervating effect on the broad left. I'm struck by the mendacity of everything Ken has documented here on ye olde Wonkette, but also the sheer incompetence of the politics of it all.
It won't matter because nothing he will propose will do much to help the economy. He's going to get up in front of Congress and tell them they need to "play nice" now and extend the payroll tax holiday (which is trashing Social Security) and give more tax credits to small business, and, gosh darn it, encourage the large corporations to create more jobs and push the banks to lend out more money to the middle class and maybe the poorz, too. More of the same old, same old. Nothing that might upset his Wall Street overlords. Jesus, I thought we were at least getting Colin Powell when we voted for him. I wish I could think of some other black man to compare him to. I just can't. There is no one in the A-A community to compare him to. Fuck him and the Wall Street bull he rode in on.
Oh, that's ridiculous — doesn't he understand that terrorists only understand one thing? You can't win points being the classier player, Mr. President, if none of the judges understand the language.
Bullshit! That's the night Christine O’Donnell signs her runaway bestseller at the House Bookstore & Overpriced Trinket Trap.
So that's why I've been hitting the bottle so hard!
The White House needs to lay off of the passive-aggressive tactics. It just makes them look like whiny babies. Of course the Republicans look like whiny babies too but the lamestream media will never point that out.
Captain Caaaaveman !! (if you recognize that, you're an old)
i wish they would debate every night
unless frontline is on
Big surprise….Obama caved, just like he has on everything else.
Morally weak morally weak morally weak morally weak morally weak morally weak morally weak morally weak morally weak morally weak morally weak morally weak
God save the EPA.
Tone deaf motherfuckas, the whole lot of 'em. The District can kiss my black ass with their pettiness. Arguging over the timing of a speech?! The fuck?
Yeah, I'm a little fed up right about now. You've got the president and congress arguing over a single day when thousands of people are showing up at job fairs all across the country, lately. The Republican Party's plan is working; Washington is quickly becoming inconsequential and irrelevant to the average daily lives of Americans.
Why the fuck should I care about another warmed-over speech from president? And, the only reason I'll watch the Republican debate is because I like shameless reality television. Fuck Barry. He's my president, and I'll be voting for him, but I wouldn't care if I never heard another speech from his sorry ass. Until he gets around to the "show" part of his show-and-tells, I don't give a fuck what he wants to tell us.
Nice choice you're gonna have there in 2012.
Here's my theory about Barry: Somewhere along the line, the Man showed him the Zapruder Film and hinted that Barry had better play ball or else. What would you have done? I think I woulda chosen to play ball. For my wife and daughters' sake.
And now it's looking like the Man's Plan all along was to hand the Exploding Cigar of the economy and the country to Barry. Why are the Rethugs running such lame losing asses in 2012? Because the really bad Shit is going to Hit the Fan post-2012 and when all of that can be blamed on Barry after he gets re-elected, not only will the blame fall on him, it will surely fall on an entire race.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
That would make a great movie, but I'd bet my hat that it's not anywhere near that sinister of conspiratorial, at least not formally. That said, I've always said that their is an extremist contigent within that wants Barry to be both the first and then only and last black president. It is not a secret that some white supremacists saw his election during these times as a silver lining.
BTW, 2012 isn't a choice for me. There is no way in hell I'd give this current Republican-controlled House a Republican president under any circumstance. Not gonna' do it. Barack might be the flimsiest wall between the American people and bat-shit insanity I've ever seen, but god if he isn't still some type of barrier.
This current incarnation of the GOP can't be allowed the posssion of The Precious (the presidency). Not if I have anything to say about it. No fucking way.
Call me paranoid, but I'll never underestimate the capacity of seemingly innocent white folk to be just as sinisterly racist as the most overt white supremacists, though they'll claim that some of their best friends are black.
I too will vote for the O Man in 2012, though it will be solely to stave off the same scenario you fear, namely, Sauron's re-acquisition of the power of the Ring. Another way of describing it would be the end of the movie, "Chinatown" when Noah Cross gains access to his granddaughter to commit incest against yet another generation of his family. The Republicans would like nothing better than to sexually assault the next generation of their fellow Americans. Forget it Jake. It's Chinatown.
Snoozefest or Pukefest? Decisions, decisions…..
Gaaahhh! The weak, effete, Marxist, radical tyrant!
One L versus the poo flinging Perry. This will be historic TeeVee.
God I hope so. But the Republicans will renege or lie or threaten fiscal doom or whatever it takes to extend the Bush cuts. The are a bunch of dirty renegers, after all.
I wish I had your optimism. Or your pharmaceuticals, whatever's making it work for you.
Dammit I can't give you no more upfists. Will you settle for saffron-rosewater challah bread instead?
I think you may just be right, but confidence is totally rarer than cheap , good 'shrooms
It's a slam on the group that throws the most feces.
Recipe or GTFO.
I never did get into baking, much as I love to cook. I get my saffron-rosewater challah from The Bread Workshop in Berkeley, CA, or used to anyway. Haven't seen it at the supermarkets much of late. It's great with an unsalted butter and rose-petal jam, which I also used to get from some weird little place in Berkeley; or with uncooked Danish apricot jam, which you can get at Market Hall in Oakland, and some of the more chichi groceries in Northern California also.
The kids are all right! I knew it.
