We Don’t Need Another Hero

So using this logic the teabaggers now must think the September 11 hijackers were also heroes. I believe there were government offices in the WTC and the Pentagon. Bill Maher was right all along!

I love the way you can twist things when people are this scatterbrained.

man
I would love to hear the phone calls that prompted that little turn around.

I like this

White House: If GOP Filibusters, We’ll Pass Health Reform Via Reconciliation

Gah, thanks a lot for the earworm, Nojo.

Olympics Update: US American wimminz hockey 8-1 over Sveeden in the 3rd.

@SanFranLefty: Thought it would be an improvement over the Ronettes.

@Capt Howdy: I am sooooo ignoring HCR bullshit right now, although I’m probably stuck doing something with the Circus Summit on Thursday. They can say all they want, but I really need to see some action before trusting them on the matter.

@Capt Howdy:

Haha, what a cocktease Hopey is. These are the Democrats we are talking about here!

@Tommmcatt Say Relax: I’m still waiting for my pony.

Wow, they’re paying part-time Census workers $22/hr here in Ess Eff. I think I will be applying ASAP for an evening job.

@SanFranLefty:

Those ads always make me think of fava beans and Tuscan wine for some reason…..

@Tommmcatt Say Relax:
fava beans always make me think of Hannibal Lechter.

@nojo:
the stuff I am hearing lately is encouraging. sall Im sayin.

you cant make this stuff up:

Longtime readers know I’m only somewhat tongue-in-cheek partial to the Grand Iranian Conspiracy of why we invaded Iraq. Essentially Iranian intelligence set up Chalabi and the INC to con gullible American lawmakers and Fred Hiatt’s crayon scribblers into destroying and then handing over their troublesome neighbor. And now apparently, years later, we have to stay in Iraq to prevent Chalabi and Iran from taking over.

Today’s Orly Taitz craziness: She appeals to the UN to protect her from Barack Hussein Obama.

@Capt Howdy: That’s certainly fair — those encouraging signals are deliberately intended. And I’ll certainly be willing to eat a lot of words if they pull this out of a hat.

It still remains that the Senate Bill (warts and all) could be passed and signed in a day, with a tidy-up resolution bill to follow (or not). It also remains that nothing could happen because Demrats lack the political courage to make it happen.

If this week’s circus is designed to provide political cover for what the Demrats are fully within their power to do right now, fine. But I’m not wasting hope on it until it happens.

@nojo:
I think this thing with the republicans is more than cover. I think he is going to try to show the country that the republicans are not in the game in spite of what they say before the go ahead and do what they should have done long ago.

@Capt Howdy:

I’m really hoping the meeting works out like the end of this, with McConnell and and Boner taking the role of the two “bartenders”.

But, that’s just me. :)

@Capt Howdy: Again, that’s a fair summation, and certainly the angle they’re pitching. I’m just not in a mood to take them at their word right now — Lucy has yanked away too many footballs.

@nojo: I’d settle for 40 acres and a mule.

@Capt Howdy:

That was the joke, sweetheart.

@Capt Howdy: What? Barry’s plan increases the individual-mandate penalty by 25 percent?

Fuck. Now I’m gonna have to read it or something. I’m willing to get screwed for the good of the Republic, but goddam be gentle about it.

@Capt Howdy: This has been screamingly obvious for years, Iran loved that we took out their enemies, the Bathists, and they have been shit-stirring the ethnic tensions in Iraq between the Shiites and the other side ever since we invaded. Bush got so played, Bush and Cheney, it must always be remembered, are not just evil warmongering genocidal shitbags, they are also screamingly, hopelessly, incompetent fucktards. Israel used them, Chalabi used them, Karzai used them, the Pakistanis used them. They are not just evil , they are fucking retards.

@Tommmcatt Say Relax:

oh
well then I would have expected a nice Key-an-tee

@JNOV: How would you feel about a Pinto?
