Fear Fracture
Mitch McConnell, this morning:
“By preventing the accumulation of excessive power, the Constitution is designed to reduce the risk of tyranny or abuse at either the Federal or state levels,” McConnell told the audience of conservative legal scholars. “The health care bill would remove an important bulwark of this protection.”
Mitch McConnell, 2007:
Indeed, alarmist concerns notwithstanding, the Patriot Act is one of the most important and overdue pieces of legislation in a generation.
Yes, well, Alarmist Concerns about the Fourth Amendment sure are silly, aren’t they? Unlike Alarmist Concerns about the Individual Mandate, which surely will lead to Tyranny.
Well, now we know where to put McConnell when we’re not using him, thanks to the not-MSNBC ad:

Claims to be a patriot, definitely a tool. :)
So the Repubs now want to defund NPR? I guess Bob Edwards got out in time.
Pah, what filth they are. Seriously.
Why don’t they go ahead and abolish the FDA and end the socialist tyranny of minimal standards for our medication and food supply. The Founding Fathers rose up against the British for our God-given right to salmonella poisoning and counterfeit Viagra for all!
@Dodgerblue: Well, if they wanted to just eliminate Garrison Keiller, I’d be cool with that.
@¡Andrew!:
Oh my yes. He looks like that rarest of Asian guys: hair on the face and hair on the legs and not too much anywhere else. There should be a word for that. Other than “super-hott”, I mean.
@Tommmcatt: Apparently he is famous for Sport–he played for Lousiana (?) and won the Superbowl. His adoptive father is Japanese–and yes he’s fluent–and his adoptive mother is cockasian, er kahkaysion, one more time… caucasian. Anyhoo, in addition to being hawtashayell, he’s a straight ally and strong supporter of GLBT rights.
@Tommmcatt: Sex God or AVATAR OF SEX?!?!?! You be the judge…: He’s not Asian, he’s Kahkasian. Adoptive dad is Japanese-American, thus the name. Dad was interred during WWII, actually.
He played for the New Orleans Saints, ¡Andrew!, and was a strong advocate for the rebuilding of NOLA post-Katrina. Like you said he is cool and has been the rarest of birds – a prominent professional athlete who vocally supports LGBT rights. So I like him even though he played for Kal undergrad.
@SanFranLefty: Wait, so are you saying he’s cockasian? Save me Jeebus, this is so confusing.
Sorry that I presented you with another honkey, Tommmy.
@¡Andrew!: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Lemme see what I can dig up…
@¡Andrew!: My search for shirtless pictures of Ichiro Suzki was fruitless, but he’s niiiiice.
Have a look at Bryan Clay. Hapa popolos count, right?
I have no idea who this guy is, but pay a visit to Sri Lankan Male. I’m running NoScript, so don’t yell at me if some flash video appears that I haven’t vetted.
I like Brent Chua… a lot.
ADD: Daniel Liu.
Catt, you may thank me for that last one with an iPad.
