THE PATH TO VICTORY  8:04 pm March 26, 2012

Newt Gingrich Officially Now Too Lame for Media To Care

by Kirsten Boyd Johnson

This is the only time his favorability rating climbs past 15.

Fart bag Newt Gingrich has finally been granted his most fervent wish, for the elite print media to stop telling Vicious Lies about him (printing what he says, verbatim): “Newt Gingrich has lost his last embedded print reporters, reporters on the trail confirm. The last two print reporters covering Gingrich full-time on the trail — from POLITICO and the Atlanta Journal Constitution — pulled out on Friday.” Is “no one paying attention to anything Newt Gingrich says” the important boost his campaign has been waiting for? [Politico]

Dormitator maculatus

That's all I've got.

Blueb4sunrise March 26, 2012 at 8:24 pm

That's all ya need.

C_R_Eature March 26, 2012 at 8:46 pm

Thank you.

FROTHY March 26, 2012 at 11:37 pm

That translates to "Fat Sleeper," CRE.

Oh. Wait. I get it.

C_R_Eature March 26, 2012 at 11:39 pm

Now you may leave the Temple, Grasshopper.

FROTHY March 26, 2012 at 11:43 pm

Listen, buddy, there are CATS outside. I ain't leaving this place without an armed escort.

C_R_Eature March 26, 2012 at 11:47 pm

Good point, I'd stay put too. As long as there's no Temple Monkeys. I wouldn't trust them not to sell you out to the Cats.

Ruhe March 27, 2012 at 9:16 am

Hmm. I was close. I was guessing "Jowly sleeping potato".

oldedinvn March 27, 2012 at 8:31 am

Awaaww fuck you people very much. This man is a genius & yall don't not see that. This could be the second coming. Well, I ain't had that, but he might.

C_R_Eature March 27, 2012 at 8:33 am

That's just what Callista said last night, but it wasn't true.

savethispatient March 26, 2012 at 8:08 pm

Who's that running for what-now?

NorthStarSpanx March 27, 2012 at 8:40 am

When the mighty falls yet again, can it be heard in the forest?

RadioStalingrad March 26, 2012 at 8:09 pm

He's so smart he doesn't need the elite liberal media to follow him.

GreatChristiano March 26, 2012 at 8:09 pm

I worry the last two reporters ditching him was purely a PR stunt.

memzilla March 26, 2012 at 8:09 pm

"Newt Gingrich has lost his last embedded print reporters…"

You can just see them, embedded in between the third and fourth jowls.

Loaded_Pants March 26, 2012 at 8:51 pm

I was wondering about those tiny arms waving around between his jowls seeming to grasp out for any rescue.

Fukui-sanYesOta March 26, 2012 at 8:12 pm

It appears his campaign has some form of terminal illness. Newton will be leaving it soon and trying for a Black Music Award instead.

johnnymeatworth March 26, 2012 at 8:12 pm

If a whore diamond falls in the forest and no one is there to write about it….

Loaded_Pants March 26, 2012 at 8:52 pm

Callista will be there to grasp it.

"My precious!"

memzilla March 26, 2012 at 8:13 pm

"Newt Gingrich has lost his last embedded print reporters…"

Without those snoops around, it'll make finding that fourth wife all the easier!

Chick-Fil-Atheistâ„¢ March 26, 2012 at 10:55 pm

Rielle Hunter is will soon be available.

FakaktaSouth March 26, 2012 at 8:13 pm

Newt's the one Mitt should snatch up and conjoin with if he wants to get some of the good ol boys off they asses this November. I'm hoping he picks Paul Ryan. I want 70/30.

Fukui-sanYesOta March 26, 2012 at 8:17 pm

Do you think the fat-headed one would go for that? He seems far too full of himself to play second fiddle to a flip-flopping automaton.

Willard / Thad McCotter 2012!

FakaktaSouth March 26, 2012 at 8:22 pm

Well, you're probably right, but – if he could come up with some sort of Mitt assassination plot based on a James Bond movie and get to be Pres THAT way, he miiiiight. He's nuts.

Fukui-sanYesOta March 26, 2012 at 8:27 pm

I could totally see Newt with a white cat and a volcano lair.

Doktor StrangeZoom March 26, 2012 at 8:30 pm

It's so hard to find good minions these days

C_R_Eature March 26, 2012 at 8:30 pm

Ernst Stavro Blowtoad.

Fare la Volpe March 26, 2012 at 8:33 pm

Nah, too liberal for Willard's new persona.

Mitt Romney / Genghis Kahn 2012!

This very neatly makes the campaign's new name sound like RomneyCon

chicken_thief March 26, 2012 at 11:01 pm

Agreed. He needs a similarly "severe" conservative on his team.

James Michael Curley March 27, 2012 at 5:49 am

Ya know, man I tried to get tickets for RomenyCon but all that was left was Sunday Afternoon.

BarackMyWorld March 26, 2012 at 8:33 pm

I have money on Rubio just so I Mitt can switch positions on what qualifications/experience you need.

weej_bain March 26, 2012 at 8:44 pm

He should run with that Zimmerman fellow from Florida. The 35 years old might be a problem, but it would clearly help Willard with the NRA.

Callyson March 26, 2012 at 8:46 pm

At first I thought Susana Martinez, since she would be a two – fer. But not likely after I saw this (from Wikipedia):
On September 9, 2011, Martinez admitted to the public that she did not know whether her paternal grandparents immigrated to the country illegally. On more thorough research it turned out that they were illegal and that she is descended from Mexican Revolutionary General Toribio Ortega.
"I'm running for office for Pete's sake!"

Jukesgrrl March 26, 2012 at 9:06 pm

She was my pick, too. But her getting fired by her hairdresser was the first bad sign. Had she pretended to QUIT the hairdresser because he was gay and make a big splash about it, she might have had the style to appeal to tea bagger. And now this? Conserva-fail.

Gainsbourg69 March 26, 2012 at 9:54 pm

I hope Rubio gets the nod. I think he'll fold when the light is shined brightly on him.

chicken_thief March 26, 2012 at 11:02 pm

You mean like the Blunt-Rubio Amendment?

Negropolis March 26, 2012 at 10:31 pm

After Rubio got caught embellishing his parent's story, he was damaged like the rest of them. Not saying he won't get picked, but the shine has been taken off of him.

Negropolis March 26, 2012 at 10:22 pm

But, Paul Ryan's base isn't the good ole boys. The good ole boys (read: populists conservatives) want the government's hand off their Medicare. Ryan's base are the suburban conservatives, those that live comfortably enough that they don't care if entitlements are fucked with, because they'll be comfortable enough even if they are cut.

Jukesgrrl March 26, 2012 at 11:16 pm

According to a Dem poll quoted by Politico, Ryan's favorable rating in Wisconsin First is not much over 50%. If Romney did go for him (unlikely IMHO), it would be great fun to see him getting his ass kicked in his own district while he's running for Veep. A grrl can dream, can't she?

RadioStalingrad March 26, 2012 at 11:25 pm

Rubio or Ryan? Either one will be comedy gold.

BarackMyWorld March 27, 2012 at 1:01 am

That'll be over-shadowed by Mitt getting his ass kicked in his own home state(s).

FakaktaSouth March 27, 2012 at 12:58 am

Exactly. This is why I say Mitt should get Newt for the good old boys, because otherwise those dudes aren't going to vote for Mitt at all. They just won't vote. That's also why I say Obama wins 70/30 if Mitt goes with Ryan. Not because I think all of a sudden people are going to be smart, but because voter participation amongst the uuuuummmmm morons? lets say Santorum supporter types, the ones who despise Mitt NOW, the 70% who didn't vote for him down here, will be incredibly, record breakingly low. I promise. They are the same people who leave the stadium or don't show when Auburn starts losing/has a sucky team. They just ignore it. (cause they are God Bless America the Christian Nation Patriots but not if they don't get their way some how? I have no fucking idea) but I have seen it myself.

Bonzos_Bed_Time March 26, 2012 at 8:18 pm

Think what the world would have lost if his father had just pulled out.

CthuNHu March 27, 2012 at 11:37 am

Santorum?

vtxmcrider March 28, 2012 at 8:30 am

Or if Nancy Reagan had swallowed just one more time.

BaldarTFlagass March 26, 2012 at 8:19 pm

Guess he's on the comeback trail!!!

ElPinche March 26, 2012 at 8:20 pm

I loved Newt in the The Hungry Games…a movie about a perpetual GOP primary where the candidates partake in blue berry pie and hot dog eating contest across Iowa TO THE DEATH!!

Rotundo_ March 26, 2012 at 9:00 pm

So that's why he specified *two* toilets for his suite. It almost makes sense in that light.

arihaya March 26, 2012 at 8:20 pm

now without liberal media bothering him, Newt can spend more time trying to schtupp his interns for fourth wife

Boojum March 26, 2012 at 8:22 pm

Sad old man haz a sad.

north_of_moscow March 26, 2012 at 8:24 pm

Rope-a-dope doesn't work when you're shadow boxing.

We forsake you, gonna rape* you,

(*In a metaphorical, 1970's, not especially enlightened sort of sense–It's the bloody Who, what do you expect, critical feminist analysis?)

C_R_Eature March 26, 2012 at 8:32 pm

I'd pay good money to see Uncle Ernie guide him to his very own machine.

"Put in your earplugs, put on your eyeshades, you know where to put the cork!"

Dudleydidwrong March 26, 2012 at 9:18 pm

After fiddling around, fiddling around of course. The Newt may like mature men since he's not one himself.

BarackMyWorld March 26, 2012 at 8:26 pm

Frankly, you elitists don't realize he can clearly still win this. Fundamentally.

C_R_Eature March 26, 2012 at 8:48 pm

Any other analysis by the Liberal Media would be, frankly, grotesque.

Veritas78 March 26, 2012 at 9:41 pm

His candidacy has been a significant paradigm shift several orders of magnitude beyond anything the historical data has ever revealed.

AddHomonym March 26, 2012 at 10:57 pm

Candidly, even.

chicken_thief March 26, 2012 at 11:04 pm

Profoundly!

Isyaignert March 27, 2012 at 1:39 am

Frankly, frankly. Frankly.

littlebigdaddy March 26, 2012 at 8:27 pm

Wait, how is this possible? I thought he was Churchill, DeGaulle, and Stalin rolled into one!

docterry6973 March 26, 2012 at 8:38 pm

Or Lincoln, Metternich, and Churchill. Take your pick.

Crank_Tango March 26, 2012 at 8:45 pm

or Young Hitler, Beerhall Putsch Hitler, Triumphant Trocadero Hitler, 15% Bunker Hitler, and 100% no Vienna Artist Hitler.

Whew. Who were we talking about again?

anniegetyerfun March 26, 2012 at 11:47 pm

Hitler?

Veritas78 March 26, 2012 at 9:49 pm

Pliny, Plutarch, & Pepys.

flamingpdog March 26, 2012 at 11:53 pm

Or Snap, Crackle, and Pop. GINGRICH/GALLAGHER/2012!!!

Blueb4sunrise March 26, 2012 at 8:56 pm

Caligula, Henry VIII, Munchausen

C_R_Eature March 26, 2012 at 9:01 pm

You're thinking of his eating habits.

Veritas78 March 26, 2012 at 9:55 pm

Oh, then it's Taft, Hardy, & Uribe.

Guppy March 26, 2012 at 9:04 pm

An alcoholic, psychopathic debaucher?

Nostrildamus March 26, 2012 at 9:35 pm

I'd go with Larry, Moe and Curly Joe.

Isyaignert March 27, 2012 at 1:41 am

a/k/a Dewy, Cheetum & Howe. Nuyk nuyk!!

doloras March 26, 2012 at 10:34 pm

Perhaps Emerson, Lake and Palmer? He does seem like a lucky man.

cheetojeebus March 26, 2012 at 8:28 pm

I dream of a day when this puffy, ready to burst boil is no longer even able to garner a wonkette post for fellatting roadkill.

flamingpdog March 26, 2012 at 11:57 pm

I miss those good ol' days. But the last three stories about Rethug politicians caught fellating roadkill I've sent to tips@Wonkette.com hotline have disappeared into thin ether.

Geminisunmars March 27, 2012 at 12:07 am

You are spending too much time outdoors.

FakaktaSouth March 26, 2012 at 8:29 pm

My funny friend posted on fb, "when the reporters left NEWT started yelling – Why are you leaving?? I'm not sick!!!"

Callyson March 26, 2012 at 8:47 pm

"I've seen what happens to the health of your ex – wives. Not taking my chances."

How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?

C_R_Eature March 26, 2012 at 8:44 pm

Idiot wind, blowing through the flowers on your tomb
Blowing through the curtains in your room
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth
You're an idiot babe
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe

That could apply to more than one of them. Zimmie-WIN.

Thanks!

Can I get an "All of them, Katie?"

It ain't you we're looking for, Babe.

MinAgain March 26, 2012 at 8:31 pm

The last two print reporters covering Gingrich full-time on the trail …pulled out on Friday.”

That sounds kinda dirty.

littlebigdaddy March 26, 2012 at 8:35 pm

Moreso if Santorum.

C_R_Eature March 26, 2012 at 8:45 pm

Too bad they didn't pull out in time.

HempDogbane March 26, 2012 at 8:52 pm

I also pulled out on Friday but I was back in again Saturday morning.

flamingpdog March 26, 2012 at 11:59 pm

I wonder if Marcus still has any reporters imbedded in him.

DrunkIrishman March 26, 2012 at 8:36 pm

Gingrich is so going to eat a pint of Chunky Monkey tonight.

C_R_Eature March 26, 2012 at 8:45 pm

Which Intern is that?

Negropolis March 26, 2012 at 10:35 pm

Ericka Lipinski?

Newt won't be worried until Ellis the Elephant leaves.

Callista is gobbling cough drops as we speak.

Negropolis March 26, 2012 at 10:37 pm

Sure, "gobbling cough drops"…is that what the kids are callling it, these days?

FROTHY March 26, 2012 at 11:56 pm

Welp, ya got the "gobbling" part right.

nonbeliever7 March 26, 2012 at 8:47 pm

I'm pretty sure that's Kirsten in the middle photo. Did I win anything?

I can almost hear many phone voices telling Newt, "If you'd like to leave a message…"

Barb March 26, 2012 at 8:54 pm

If Newt got his own Ben & Jerry's flavor it would be Nuts & Batshit.

Guppy March 26, 2012 at 9:06 pm

The Guan-O Party.

Callyson March 26, 2012 at 9:31 pm

Frothy will be so pissed if that happens. He wants all the nuts for his own flavor.

Geminisunmars March 27, 2012 at 12:04 am

Your work has been fruitful, eh Ocean Hopper?

FROTHY March 27, 2012 at 12:44 am

I think so, darlz. The Sib is at work today, so I have a little time for myself. In reality, though, I'm very tired and worn down, and haz a HUGE sadz. My health isn't back at 100% after surgery either, and I now have a sinus infection and my oldest cat has been "severely" unwell, and the bank has fucked up my money and my lawyer wants me back for a hearing. Might be time to pack and go home soon, just to take care of all the shit one has to take care of in this life.

Y U No tell me this caretaking is such hard work? I am once again overcome with admiration for you and all you do. Anywho. Let's see how much MORE the fucking airline will charge me to change my ticket dates. It's pretty awful that they can ding you for the cost of a lung just to schlep your ass from one continent to another.

Spurning Beer March 26, 2012 at 9:39 pm

nounverb911 March 26, 2012 at 9:01 pm

Now Newt has time for breakfast, lunch and dinner at Tiffany's.

owhatever March 26, 2012 at 9:02 pm

Newt points out that George Washington did not have elitist reporters riding on the bus with him at this point of the campaign either, and he went on to become the third president of the United States. All part of the strategy to make America great again. Don't you people know your history?

Blendergoathead March 26, 2012 at 9:04 pm

Uh, not to stray off-topic too much, but Politico counts as "print" journalism? Really?

Politico?

Fukui-sanYesOta March 26, 2012 at 9:20 pm

I was amazed when I visited DC for the Stewart/Colbert thing to see actual, real print versions of Politico.

Fare la Volpe March 26, 2012 at 9:57 pm

They upgraded from their far more popular toilet paper edition.

trampndirtdown March 26, 2012 at 11:39 pm

A great reason for living in the hinterlands. How was the show?

HateMachine March 26, 2012 at 9:23 pm

Of course it does. Just because nobody ever picks up the print edition unless they get a new puppy doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Come here a minute March 26, 2012 at 10:25 pm

Sure! They dump several movements, hot and steaming off the presses, at every house and senate doorstep, wanted or not.

TheMightyHaltor March 26, 2012 at 11:17 pm

Of course they are. They're definitely not cursive journalism.

HistoriCat March 27, 2012 at 11:20 am

I don't mind counting them as "print" … but I draw the line at "journalism".

Loaded_Pants March 26, 2012 at 9:08 pm

I love the pics of nappy time Newt. He looks like a sleeping child.
A big, gas-filled adulterous child.

FROTHY March 27, 2012 at 12:04 am

In this country, "nappy" is another word for "diaper." And considering how fulla shit Newton Leroy is, it damn sure fits like a fucking glove.

Wile E. Quixote March 27, 2012 at 2:24 am

Actually when he gets all sleepy like that Quato comes out and tells you to open your mind.

I get dibs on his chins!

FROTHY March 27, 2012 at 12:05 am

Wut, you need to render them for cooking oil, or wut?

Rotundo_ March 26, 2012 at 9:12 pm

One can almost imagine the poor bastards from Politico and the AJC booking a rental car in some god forsaken shithole in Louisiana screaming "Free at Last! Free at Last! Thank God Almighty I'm Free at Last!" as they hightail it for the nearest airfield with a flight out of there. Do they get the silk jackets embroidered with "When I die I'll go to heaven 'cause I've already been to Hell: Newt's Tour Bus!" ?

RadioStalingrad March 26, 2012 at 9:19 pm

Only to find out their next assignment is following Santorum around.

horsedreamer_1 March 26, 2012 at 10:50 pm

Following santorum? Just as well do it on the road. Those POLITICO staffers are so bent over for the GOP the office looks like a Ned Beatty mating ritual.

FROTHY March 27, 2012 at 12:05 am

Thank you for making me LOL shamelessly.

Dudleydidwrong March 26, 2012 at 9:20 pm

To quote someone else on this Wonkette A-Ticket ride, Newt has more chins than the Shanghai phone book.

Barb March 26, 2012 at 9:27 pm

Sounds familiar, lol.

Tundra Grifter March 26, 2012 at 9:36 pm

Must be an echo in here…

FROTHY March 27, 2012 at 12:06 am

Think it wuz me, and I said "HongKong phone book," but hey, Shanghai is probably a close second.

littlebigdaddy March 27, 2012 at 12:38 am

Yeah, I think Chin is a Cantonese name….not to be pedantic.

FROTHY March 27, 2012 at 1:28 am

That was exactly what crossed my mind. </pedant>

SpeedoFart March 26, 2012 at 9:22 pm

"“Newt Gingrich has lost his last embedded print reporters, reporters on the trail confirm."”

Oh, HA!
Seriously, I'm kind of surprised anyone thought that Piggy Lardbutt was worth reporting on in the first place.

dadanarchist March 26, 2012 at 9:29 pm

I guess this makes Newt a has-has-been.

So Tired March 26, 2012 at 9:33 pm

Well, to be fair, I didn't pay much attention to what he said anyway.

Tundra Grifter March 26, 2012 at 9:36 pm

Ole Newt's campaign – where the elite don't meet and greet. But he'll have more time to cheat. And, probably, eat.

There were about 2 months there where it seemed like he was an actual candidate, but now he's gone back to not even trying.

FROTHY March 27, 2012 at 1:29 am

And yet, he vomits poison into the political discourse, like his comments on Trayvon Martin. Perhaps he'll do us all a favour and pop his clogs soon.

Daaayam..he's about to bust out of that suit. If that one button pops off , it could seriously injure someone.

imissopus March 26, 2012 at 10:01 pm

He'll just use his giant brain to beam his message to voters telepathically, bypassing the elite liberal media filter. My own spam filter is set to sort all those messages right into my brain's Junk folder.

OT: Larry O'Donnell has been stood up, tonight, and boy is he pissed…more than usual.

BarackMyWorld March 26, 2012 at 10:45 pm

Who?

Negropolis March 26, 2012 at 10:49 pm

The man on MSNBC who has cornered the market on righteous indignation. He's like the Ken Layne of MSNBC. I like what Tamron has done with and to him, as I'm convinced she has had something to do with this change in style of him.

Limeylizzie March 27, 2012 at 12:57 am

He's so pissed off tonight he will fuck her brains out when he gets home.

BarackMyWorld March 27, 2012 at 1:02 am

No…I meant who stood him up. Nevermind, I'm watching the replay now.

ElPinche March 27, 2012 at 1:22 am

I'd change anything for Tamron, too.

Warpde March 27, 2012 at 1:44 am

Pissed? As in one too many wobbly pops?

That's what Callista will call the divorce.

FROTHY March 27, 2012 at 1:56 am

And she would not be wrong.

Fare la Volpe March 26, 2012 at 10:06 pm

My future boyfriend Lawrence O'Donnell (once I steal him from that sultry goddess Tamron Hall) is going on a rampage after Trayvon Martin's lawyer walked out before their interview. It's making me tingly. If he were wearing a Luftwaffe uniform, LimeyLizzie's panties would be soaked by proxy.

docterry6973 March 26, 2012 at 10:33 pm

I'm new here. Should someone defend LimeyLizzie, or her nether garments?

Fare la Volpe March 26, 2012 at 10:57 pm

She'll smack you for it. Don't get between Lizzie and her open fetish for uniforms.

Veritas78 March 26, 2012 at 11:03 pm

So she won't mind if her panties were soaked by Munchhausen?

RadioStalingrad March 26, 2012 at 11:29 pm

We are all guilty of Münchausen By Proxy.

Limeylizzie March 27, 2012 at 1:03 am

No defence needed, but thanks for the offer.

Jukesgrrl March 26, 2012 at 11:19 pm

I just got home and missed LO'D. Do you mean the shooter's lawyer? Why would a Martin family lawyer walk out on Larry? Answer, please. I need to know what to do with MY panties. Bunch or no bunch?

Fare la Volpe March 26, 2012 at 11:23 pm

Fucking fucknuggets. I meant Zimmerman's lawyer. The shooter's lawyer (I must have meant the defense attorney in the Trayvon case) stood up Lawrence's interview. Lawrence then went off on a tirade, calling the man a coward.

I've had a long day. Earlier today I had to stop writing because I realized I'd just tried to pass off "caughting" as a word.

Geminisunmars March 26, 2012 at 11:47 pm

I thought that is what cats do when spitting up hair balls. It's not?

FROTHY March 27, 2012 at 12:14 am

Watch it, hon, V572 or whatever he's calling himself these days will be humping Tamron's leg publicly and verbally now that you've mentioned her name.

Limeylizzie March 27, 2012 at 12:59 am

I prefer the SS, darling, but I will fight you for Mr O'Donnell, he would look lovely in a uniform.

Geminisunmars March 27, 2012 at 1:00 am

And I suspect out of a uniform too.

“What we’re seeing are signs that the nomination battle is effectively over,” said John Weaver, who served as a senior adviser to the presidential bid of former Utah governor Jon Huntsman. “The lashing out at the media and grasping of straws, as in Newt’s comments about the killing of Trayvon Martin, are indicators we’ve entered the walking dead period.”

Glad to see it's not just me.

BarackMyWorld March 27, 2012 at 12:44 am

To be fair…Santorum ran his mouth about the Trayvon Martin tragedy as well.

Our single. . . and NORTH KOREA is our SINGLE biggest foe, er, of COURSE, it's RUSSIA who is the single biggest DECIDER, giving ALL OF OUR SINGLE BIGGEST FOES all kinds of support and blueprints for building Evil Axises. And for this President. . . this failed President, to promise to be flexible with regard to missiles in dealing with OUR SINGLE BIGGEST FOE. . . say, have you noticed how funny the word "foe" is when you say it over and over?"

Geminisunmars March 26, 2012 at 11:57 pm

It is clearly her fault they stopped paying attention.

Negropolis March 27, 2012 at 2:54 am

Newt usually reserves divorces for illnesses, but I think he may make a special case for Callie.

O/T Deepsea Exploration Geekery!

History was made today as James Cameron successfully completes an incredible solo free dive 6.8 miles down to the very bottom of the ocean, in the deepest part of the Challenger Deep in the western Pacific, the Marianas Trench.

Cameron dropped for 2.5 hours in a custom designed "vertical torpedo" vehicle named the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER, specially outfitted with banks of LED lights, 3D HD cameras, manipulators and collection devices.
At the Bottom, Cameron was 2/3 deeper than the wreck of the Titanic, there is absolute darkness, frigid temperature and the pressure outside is 1000 times sea level.
The craft and mission was designed to spend hours on the bottom, moving over the terrain, collecting extensive specimens and video information before rising, untethered, to the surface.
Cameron described an almost sterile, featureless plain of silt, with a few pale amphipod crustaceans wandering about.

When Cameron released the ballast, the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER *rocketed* to the surface in just 70 minutes, with it's cargo of samples, data, hours of 3D video and, of course, James Cameron.

Cameron was said to be Ecstatic and Thrilled with the success of the dive.
Mariana was Ecstatic and Thrilled too, as it has been over 50 years since any man has gone down in the Trench.

flamingpdog March 27, 2012 at 12:26 am

He didn't happen to see my checkbook while he was down there, did he? I've looked all over the house and my cubicle at work and my car and I can't find it anywhere.

FROTHY March 27, 2012 at 1:59 am

Didja check all yer jacket and coat pockets? I sometimes stick it in a coat pocket if I'm not schlepping my backpack around. Check pant pockets, too. When was the last time ya used it?

flamingpdog March 28, 2012 at 12:03 am

Aw, Frothy, you are the sweetest, most caring guy in the wholewide world! My checkbook was right where it always usually sometimes is. I was just being stupid with C_R_E.

OT: Oh, Mitt…

Mitt: I Won’t Detail Plans, Because Then I’d Lose
"One of the things I found in a short campaign against Ted Kennedy was that when I said, for instance, that I wanted to eliminate the Department of Education, that was used to suggest I don’t care about education,” Romney recalled. “So I think it’s important for me to point out that I anticipate that there will be departments and agencies that will either be eliminated or combined with other agencies. So for instance, I anticipate that housing vouchers will be turned over to the states rather than be administered at the federal level, and so at this point I think of the programs to be eliminated or to be returned to the states, and we’ll see what consolidation opportunities exist as a result of those program eliminations. So will there be some that get eliminated or combined? The answer is yes, but I’m not going to give you a list right now."

Biel_ze_Bubba March 27, 2012 at 1:02 am

"…when I said, for instance, that I wanted to eliminate the Department of Education, that was used to suggest I don’t care about education… "

Funny how people can connect the dots — especially when there are only two of them.

I was going to suggest the guy from "Moonraker," but I'm being more reminded of the plot from "Austin Powers 2" at this point.

But it warms my heart to imagine Clinton's schaden being freuded, cause damnit, he deserves it after what Newt put him through.

Caregiving is hard dang (and generally unappreciated) work even when one is in tip top shape. Hope you will have some TLC waiting for you at home. Sounds like you have some more healing to do.The lab results on my Labradorable are not so good. Some kind of rare cancer, still to be determined what it is and where, and what we are going to do about it. But he thinks that he is fine and is his sweet sweet self. He loves going to bed at night, and he is saying it is time.

(Hugs the Gem most sympathetically) I'm so sorry to hear that, my dear. Sometimes these little ones are our only defence against bone-chilling depression, our only hope to cope. Please skritch his ears for me. Tell him I would love to have a photo of him, if he doesn't mind. Something to keep away the demons.

I've never owned a Fat Cat in my life but I think it takes a good long time to get their weight down to a good level. Depends on how active they are and how much they see eating as a hobby!
