He's also black, which will help.

Well, it doesn't hurt.  But in and of itself, it's not a reason to vote for or against the guy.  The rest of his life story and positions are sufficient for that.

2 front's comin'.........

3 Does pudding come in five gallon buckets?

4 C'mon, Steny. Buck up!

5 But he's not black-black if he's left our plantation.

6

He's also black, which will help.

It will help with the brain-dead squishes who voted for Zero because they thought it showed how open-minded and tolerant they were.  Sadly, skin color is still a relevant factor.

7 BTW, I don't know if anyone has actually polled the Pelosi-Dennis race.  I did see a billboard in S.F. a couple of weeks ago chastising Pelosi for not funding anti-AIDS efforts sufficiently, so I am thinking her base of support is really unenthusiastic about her right now.

8 C'mon, Steny. Buck up!

9 I don't want to piss in anyone's cheerios, but I hate the fact that reservists, especially officers, can hold elected office. Does no one else see the conflict of interest? They sway undue influence over their superiors because of their higher office the 28 days of the month they aren't playing dress-up. They don't deploy unless they want to, and when they do, it is for a week or two tops and they get to pick where they want to go (see the asshat from Chicago). They vote on military pay-raises and whether or not we go to war. No reservists, not now, not ever.

11 Dick 'Toe Sucker' Morris is saying a hundred seats is a do-able goal.

When Morris is wrong he looks silly but he's often right--and when he's right he does Walk the Walk and Talk the Talk. 

I say 60-70 seat pickup in the House; I've been saying ever since KKK Byrd died that WVa was do-able, as is Conn and NY-Gillibrand Hottie

18 That's not true. Reserve Officers get called up, involuntarily, all the time. And we DON"T get to pick where we go.

I think his point is that a congressman Reserve Officer does, by virtue of his being a congressman.

Still...meh, I don't see it as a big issue.  I'd much rather have a reservist than a guy like Blumenthal.  There's much lower hanging fruit to go after.

19 #6

Who's going to waste money on that sort of polling?

I think Pelosi hasn't gone under 75% vote in the last 20 years.

Assuming every Republican in San Francisco turned out to vote for Denni (yeah. . .all 20 of them). . .and Dem turnout was lackluster, Pelosi would still win in a landslide.

20 9 - Meh.

The problem with that line of logic is that either everyone has to retire completely from (and promise never to return to) their private-sector profession upon taking office or you get an even more entrenched "political class" because they're the only one's who don't have a "conflict of interest."

Find me some specific examples of reservists doing what you say they do, and I might get excited about it.  Until then, I tend to think that anyone who is at least willing to be a reservist should get enough benefit of the doubt that I'm okay with them also holding office.

21 Watch for a crimson sky the morning of November 2.

Send a black guy $20?? Are you effing kidding em?

He'll just buy crack

Just in case you didn't realize it...that was a joke. I had already sent $20 a while back when it didn't seem he had much of a chance..and will do another $20 now.

I saw an interview with him...impressive guy

What the hell could go wrong??

The organizers of the Oct. 2 rally, dubbed One Nation, are calling it the "most diverse march in history." The amalgam of 300 progressive groups- environmentalists, antiwar activists, church and civil rights groups, union organizers, gay rights coalitions and others - is planning four hours of speeches, singing and spoken-word poems.

,,,his father, Steen Theilgaard Høyer, was Danish and a native of Copenhagen; "Steny" is a variant of his father's name, "Steen" and Hoyer is an anglicized form of the fairly common Danish surname "Høyer".

Hoyer -- or should we say Høyer -- is Dutch?  Damned wooden shoe wearing, tulip fondling, euro-socialist.

Also

In the 1960s, Hoyer interned for Senator Daniel Brewster (D-Maryland), along with current Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi

Possible intern romance with Nancy?

According to a drudge linked article, there are 47 house dems willing to extend the bush tax cuts entirely against obama's wishes

i think it is safe to assume all 47 are losing their internal polling and have decided to back the tax cuts for that reason.

So i think its fair to then assume that at least 47 house seats are going to be won by the republicans.

35

I don't want to piss in anyone's cheerios, but I hate the fact that..... inexperienced marxist comminity organizer thugs that are puppets of the unions and George Soros can hold elected office.

36 Posted by: stuiec at September 28, 2010 03:38 PM (7AOgy)

There simply aren't enough Republicans in San Francisco to vote her out of office. I can't imagine much more than 20%. So there would have to be a huge backlash among the dems against Pelosi to combat the reflexive voting of the progressives in that beautiful but royally fucked-up city.

37 They don't deploy unless they want to, and when they do, it is for a week or two tops and they get to pick where they want to go (see the asshat from Chicago).

They vote on military pay-raises and whether or not we go to war. No reservists, not now, not ever.

Posted by: Old grizzled gym coach at September 28, 2010 03:39 PM (QBQcg)

Umm...I hate to be Mr. Obvious here..but if they can decide whether or not to deploy...why the hell would it matter whether or not they give authorization to go to war?

You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to Nov. 2.  No idea.  I went into seclusion after Nov. 2008.  I was absolutely horrified because where we are today is where I thought we would be.  But, I did not have the hope it would wake people up.  I thought it was over.  That the electorate had finally said, "Yes - socialism is what we want."

Thank God I was wrong.  Thank God for the Tea Party.  I hope he forgives me for being so wrapped up in this shit, but on Nov. 2 I'm going to party like its 1787.

Why would having a Reservist be any worse than a person who never served? Or one who served before? The result is the same; none would be deployed while in office. I would agree that perhaps it would be better that he transferred to the IRR while he was in office.

Having said that, there are far more opportunities for a conflict of interest in someone like a lawyer, contractor, or accountant.

45 Assuming every Republican in San Francisco turned out to vote for Denni (yeah. . .all 20 of them). . .and Dem turnout was lackluster, Pelosi would still win in a landslide.

This is a "Black Swan" year, the kind where what can never happen because it's never happened before will actually end up happening.  I am not predicting a Dennis win, but I am saying that many of the factors that have made Pelosi invulnerable in past elections are crumbling.

that's my point. If they know there won't be a vote, then this is just an act. To do something like that, i would think their internal polling is really bad. Bad enough that they might all be gone.

84 Hoyer is vulnerable, yes. I don't claim to know much about his polling, but I do know quite a bit about the demographics and voting patterns of southern Maryland.

"Southern Maryland" is not not NOT the DC suburbs of Montgomery and Prince George's County. They still tend to vote for Democrats down there, but that's mostly force of habit, similar to how a lot of old Catholics are still pulling the lever for Jack Kennedy. Southern Maryland Democrats tend to be far more conservative than the national party, and Hoyer, as leader of that party, is too liberal for the fifth district. I'm not certain, but I think the district may have gone for McCain. If it didn't, I'm sure it was closer than most of Maryland.

I'm not saying that we have a strong chance of picking up Hoyer's seat, but it is the kind of place that should be sending someone more conservative than Hoyer. Alas, Hoyer has name recognition and goodwill, but I can't say he's unbeatable.

85 "No wait, the Dutch are in Holland. What's insulting to say about the Danes?" Isn't it enough to say they're dirty, filthy Scandis?

Jewells, I'm so sorry to hear that.  Colt and I had to short-sell our house last year and were forced into a punishing promissory note. We bought the house on the income he was projected to make--instead he lost his job--three degrees between us, and we made one really dumb decision. It was devastating; my credit was perfect.  It was a very, very hard lesson to have learned.

But you know what, there are a LOT of people in the same boat. I have found that there is more understanding out there than I ever thought there would be.

Thats very sweet of you.  I'm afraid, as I said, poor choices made.  Honestly, I don't know that many details, I am calling her tonight.  I don't if they have begun foreclosure or not.  I was at work and I just couldn't talk to her much. 

They have always had it rough, never enough money etc.

Usually Pelosi wins with 80% of the vote and only 24% voter turnout.

I understand that this election cycle is atypical and possibly even unprecedented (that remains to be seen), but even stipulating that the Republicans enjoy a full extra 30% voting edge this year (which they don't), Pelosi would probably *STILL* win in SF.

As mentioned above, the only possible way she could lose her seat is if she did something that strongly energized her highly liberal base to go out and vote against her.  Not only didn't she do that, but in turn she supported every crackpot liberal cause for the last two years.   

She's about as close to a "lock" as you can get.

You can't take it with you.  When you face up to that, you really get a good perspective on stuff.

105 Please please please.  I'm getting ready to relocate from NYC (Queens, NY-7 with entrenched Doucheocrat Joe Crowley) to PG County and have been excited about Charles Lollar's candidacy since I saw a video of him from a healthcare rally outside the Capitol where he grabbed a bullhorn and said, "I can't be a racist - my wife is black!"

106 Damn, look at Hotspur with his name all up in lights!

107 The thing about Pelosi is that, thanks to the governor and Senator race, turnout won't be too low.

108

I'm so sorry to hear.  I got bad news yesterday too.  My cousin in England has uterine cancer.  Three weeks before they get test results.  THREE WEEKS!

Again, sorry for your bad news.

109 @86   That's terrible, jewells.  What a horrible year you've (all) had. 

You probably don't need to be told of this, but having gone through a rough patch myself, there's nothing harder than hearing criticism from your parent when all you really want is a hug.  (Something I wish someone would tell my dad...)

Whatever bad decisions your daughter and her family made (short of being something criminal or immoral, of course), the most important thing is for you to be supportive.  Some times we all make mistakes.  Often we get away with it without suffering ill effects.  Other times we get zinged.  There's no controlling our luck. 

Hang in there.

Alas, that is incorrect. This is an artists' rendering  of the Delaware Republican primary of 2010. Or, "Ladies night at the Triple Nickel" in Bear, Delaware.

116 Please please please.  I'm getting ready to relocate from NYC (Queens, NY-7 with entrenched Doucheocrat Joe Crowley) to PG County and have been excited about Charles Lollar's candidacy since I saw a video of him from a healthcare rally outside the Capitol where he grabbed a bullhorn and said, "I can't be a racist - my wife is black!"

I think everyone should learn from their mistakes, and that actions have consequences, but I also believe that Jesus was serious when when he told the Pharisees "Go and learn what this means, 'I desire Mercy, not Sacrifice.'"

You're right -- but if Dennis is in it to win it, he's looking at counter-intuitive paths to victory.  And here's one thing to consider:

As mentioned above, the only possible way she could lose her seat is if she did something that strongly energized her highly liberal base to go out and vote against her.  Not only didn't she do that, but in turn she supported every crackpot liberal cause for the last two years.

True -- but Obama has also supported everything his Left-most supporters wanted and yet they are crushed that he hasn't DELIVERED everything they wanted.  And Nancy and Harry are the actual hands that did the incomplete, substandard work in the Leftards' eyes.  Thus the AIDS funding billboard in S.F. that calls Nancy out by name.

I will be surprised if Nancy Pelosi loses her seat this November, but I will not be shocked.

Howie Carr says the 'bipartisan' Deficit Commission is suggesting changes to Social Security in the way of retirement ages.

Funny how the Deficit Commission can't see the 500lb gorilla in the china shop. I'll let Rick Santelli have the last word.

127 90 IMHO, the French Painting is a bad idea.  French Revoliution was the predicate for Marxism and socialism.

I probably have a warped sense of history, but I liken the French Revolution much like contemporary times with our "noble class" (lefty libtards) displaying conspicuous consumption while pushing the financial burden onto the populace (us working stiffs).   I definitely see BO as our little Napoleon.

Herr is absolutely right, Jewells.  If they can pony up a couple grand for a lawyer who knows what they are doing, you can buy time.  I work in a firm that challenges non-judicial foreclosures all the time, and on average we're getting 4/5 tossed on pre-foreclosure procedural issues the lawyers for the note holders fucked up. 

Best of luck to you and yours, and I hope things start looking up in the future.

132 I'll put this one under "pleasant surprises" if it happens, but I'm not counting on it.

I know there were a bunch of shockers in 1994 where high-ranking Dems who had been in power forever got turfed, such as sitting Speaker Tom Foley (D-WA), but it seems unlikely that such a powerful pol gets turfed short of him doing something to REALLY piss off his district. 

In Hoyer's case, he's been trying to play the middle against both sides, so he isn't as big of a lightning rod as Pelosi or Harry Reid when it comes to national issues vs. local issues.

133 He's also black, which will help. And also-- handsome. Also, Marine.

Liberty Leading the People by Eugene Delacroix

Thank you, I was trying to judge how good the photoshop was. Whoever did it did an exceptional job. I realize the image had to be swapped in order for the flag to be legible, but symbolically, I would have rather had Lady Liberty leading the people from the left to right, rather than from the right to left.

135

Does anyone know of any incumbent Republicans who are in danger of losing their seats and may need some help?

 

Well, there's Lucrecia Monstroski in AK, and, oh yes, Mike Castle in DE.  Huh?  Nevermind.

136 Hotspur has it right: following topless women is usually a good choice.

We just need some updated, local support cooperation here now.

137

You can't take it with you.  When you face up to that, you really get a good perspective on stuff.

 

I bet to differ!

138 some of the mortgage holders, cause the mortgages have been sold so many times are having trouble coming up with the papers and judges are not so happy when this happens.

Little things like not being the actual holder of the note and mortgage, falsified affidavits, affidavits that are pure hearsay, shit like that.  It's everywhere.  I would venture that the vast majority of foreclosures filed now have such deficiencies.  The system is collapsing because of the volume.

139 jewells, There is a forum attached to the banks implode website, there is always a lot of good information there and help.  I put the link in the headline thread today.  The forum is well hidden and you have to really click to get in but those folks have a lot of answers, for the most part they were the honest mortgage brokers who got screwed.

140 As per Prager:  French Revolution:  Equality more important; Our Revolution, Liberty (freedom) more important.

If you know socialism, and you know the sewer that France has become, the French Revolution becomes as attractive as a Ché G. image....

143
And, no, it's not Barbara Bush.

144 The problem is that people did everything right, everything, no bad decisions and they are still losing their house and/or their job.

Oh, I agree.  It's terrible out there.  I guess I mean that we can't predict how the choices we make are going to turn out.  Sometimes we take risks that pay off, other times we get nailed.  What makes a decision "bad" has a lot to do with luck. 

When Mr. Y-not and I moved to California, it was for a major career upgrade (for him).  And he did extremely well (set all sorts of records for his institution and within his field), although I wound up unemployed.  But we had to leave that situation for reasons beyond our control, which means we're selling our house at a terrible time and back to renting.  Kind of sucks.

I think you could look at the decision to move to California four years ago and say it was insane, but really at the time it made sense.  We thought.  Live and learn. 

145 Posted by: Herr Morgenholz at September 28, 2010 04:17 PM (5aa4z)

that, and the fact that they were bundled and sold much sooner than originally thought.  You'd have your mortgage for 6 months and then all of a sudden you would get a notice saying "don't pay us anymore, we sold you to them, pay them" only they didn't say they sold you, but, they sold you, bundled with a lot of other folks.

146

Best of luck to you and yours, and I hope things start looking up in the future.

Also, to those making the claim that doctors, lawyers, etc have a conflict of interest is somehow against my point. Wrong. First of all, a reservist is PART-TIME.

@138 - down here it's bad appraisals.  The note holders get banks to find appraisers who SEVERELY lowball the appraisal, sell it on the courthouse steps by power of attorney back to the bank, who then wants to turn it around and sell it for more then the previous owner owed on it, then go after the former borrower for the difference between what was owed minus the lowball appraisal.

They are trying to make money on the re-sale and then get a deficiency judgment on the former borrower.  It's pretty sick.

She's the idiot that got Cohlbert to testify in front of Congress.  Conyers tried to get a motion to have him removed, but she was against it so Conyers rescinded the motion.  If a total moonbat dumbass like Conyers ("I'm having hearings to impeach Bush in the basement of the Russell Office Building") thought having a comedian testify in character before congress was a bad idea, this woman should be run out on a rail for the appalling lack of judgment she displayed.

164

jewells,

These guys are right about the lack of correct legal documents the people who innitiate forclosures hold. The majority of loans ended up in mortgage backed securities that are held by firms who don't really know what's in them. They depend on loan service companies to collect the payments and service the loan.

In most states in the event of a forclosure the actual wet signed copy of the loan agreement has to be produced at the proceedings if asked for by the borrower. There have been several cases where the loan servicer only had a copy and couldn't come up with the original and the forclosure was thrown out.

It may or may not help but there is a good chance it could buy them some time.

165 I do not want to grind-dance this post anymore.

Why don't you ever consider MY needs?

166

@118: "The problem is that people did everything right, everything, no bad decisions and they are still losing their house and/or their job."

To be fair, they almost all did at least one thing wrong: they fucked up; they trusted us.

167 I'm sure you guys don't want to hear this but I sincerely believe that every incumbent (republicans and democrats) should be worried about losing their seat.

The very fact that these folks do not realize that the TEA PARTY is not a cohesive group but a state of mind that has liberals, democrats, republicans, conservatives, independents and just plain pissed off Americans shows that they may be shocked when they lose.

First of all, you don't have to get pig ignorant. We can discuss this without the furor.

Second; there is little difference. His part time profession is the military, and yes there exists the possibility of a conflict of interest. And yes, that conflict can be direct (how much do officers get paid). For a doctor or a lawyer, it can be just as direct (tort reform, reimbursement rates for health care providers).

170 I intend to drink at least one whole bottle by myself if we somehow manage to send Zoe Lofgren home for good.

She's unopposed.  Only member of the CA delegation to have no Republican opponent at all.  (This is remarkable, because in most cycles half the House Dems in CA run unopposed.)

171

My parents live in that district. Me, I fled Maryland twenty years ago.

The problem with Hoyer is he's such an entrenched bring-home-the-pork guy that even moderate Republicans like my dad will cross the line to vote for him. No shit. When I still voted absentee in Maryland (which is pissing up a rope for a conservative), Dad used to tell me vote for Hoyer.

Case in point. When BRAC shifted most of the Naval Air Warfare Command (NAWC), it ended up at Patuxent River NAS, Maryland. Sure, why not. Three-star admiral's billett and a shitload of personnel. Lots of contractors. Job market took off, and this was a town where you used to have to drive 45 minutes up the highway to Waldorf if you wanted McDonald's until the late '80s. This was seen in Southern Maryland as validating the power of Stenny Hoyer to do good things for the area.

St. Mary's County is one of the few areas of MD where the housing bubble hasn't popped yet. One, they aren't making any more waterfront real estate and with the environmental regs you can't build on whatever hasn't been. Two, there are enough rich retired naval officers now working locally for Lockheed Martin, BAE, Northrup Grumman, or whoever that they'll pay through the nose for "a place on the water".

179 Color me confused, but doesn't it seem like there are way more conservative Black candidates running for election this year? ------------- They're not black, black.

180 151 - Ummm.... so?

I do understand that you're saying once a Reservist is in Congress, they don't even really have to do what a Reservist is expected to do, and that they pull more rank than they have (militarily).  It also doesn't surprise me that Mark Kirk is... exaggerating...his war record (at least he's not pulling a full Blumenthal, though), I'm a little more surprised that more don't.

However, part of your original post was talking about them getting to vote about whether or not they, specifically, will go to war, vote for military (including Reserves) pay, etc.

Okay, how is that different from a lawyer writing and voting on laws which make it easier to sue?  How is it different from a doctor writing and voting on laws which make it harder to be sued for malpractice?  Your term was "conflict of interest"- well, anyone who isn't a professional politician (and many who are) or who isn't specifically going to retire from anything except punditry/professional speaking after their stint in Congress has the same thing.  It may not affect them as directly, but it does affect them.

If you point is about the fighting/dying part of being in the military... well, yeah.  Again, and?  Until you show me a pattern of Reservists doing things that would prevent the reserves from going to war, I'm not concerned about their votes.  As for not serving full deployments, let me ask you: if you were an Army LT with a "private" who's full title was "Mr. Congressman" in your unit, wouldn't you be just as happy to send them home?  Really?

You can argue that the Army should automatically move people to IRR, or even give some kind of discharge to Reservists who get elected to congress, but that would be a military issue, not one regarding who could get elected, or not.

181 #168 I think that Quaker should update for this millenium.  A picture of Camilla (Prince Charles's wife) would be a great spokesman for oats.

What I find so funny is that people will actually say "there are no black conservatives, blacks are all liberals or democrats" as though it is the truth.  I feel it is so insulting to any group to boil them down like that.

185 You'd have your mortgage for 6 months and then all of a sudden you would get a notice saying "don't pay us anymore, we sold you to them, pay them" only they didn't say they sold you, but, they sold you, bundled with a lot of other folks.

We were told that our short sale wouldn't get approved unless we stopped paying the mortgage.  It was appalling.  The sound of all my German ancestors whirling in their graves made me physically ill, and it went against everything I believe, but the broker kept insisting it was the only way, and we didn't have a lot of time.  So now in addition to the short sale, I have several months of not paying the mortgage on my credit report.  The horrible irony is that the house was in my name because Colt's was wrecked due to his outrageous student loans.  But, he had a direct government job, and was firmly told we'd be in that location for at least 20 years... and we were already getting the place for maybe $50,000 under market at the time... and it wasn't an ARM... and we thought we'd be stupid to be flushing money down the rent toilet... and... there you go.  Seemed like a good idea at the time.

229 No contract = no foreclosure.

Posted by: John P. Squibob at September 28, 2010 04:34 PM (8okNE)

It's not quite so simple.

A nonjudicial foreclosure requires no court involvement at all.  The lender gives up the right to a deficiency by electing to go nonjudicial.  Since California has a strong anti-deficiency law anyway (prohibiting the collection of a deficiency on most residential mortgages) nearly all residential foreclosures here are nonjudicial.

This means that you have to hire an attorney to file a lawsuit to stop the foreclosure.  Not cheap.  Once it's filed, you have to get the court to issue a preliminary injunction to stop the foreclosure until the case is decided.  To get an injunction, you need to convince the judge you're going to win the case in the long run.  If you don't persuade him/her, the foreclosure goes forward, lawsuit or no lawsuit.

In California the lender doesn't need to produce original documents.  The Deed of Trust is recorded; get a certified copy from the County Recorder and you're good.  If you claim you didn't sign the Note, you have to convince the trier of fact that the copy is not authentic.  You're not likely to succeed unless you actually didn't sign the note -- i.e., its a legitimate case of forgery.

Now where do I send my bill?

That is bad news. I only want to repeat Herr's and other's advice. She needs an attorney now. I don't know what state your daughter is in, but i would be glad to check around for an attorney that defends foreclosures if she is in NY.

Things she should bear in mind, among other things, are, is the entity that commenced the suit the original lender? Was the mortgage assigned? Was the assignment validly executed? Was the assignment properly recorded? Was notice of the assignment given to the borrower? What does the mortgage say about assignment? Was the complaint properly verified? Does the person who executed any affidavit on behalf of the plaintiff have actual knowledge of the lender's files?

There are also state law issues to be considered. Did the state institute some sort of pre-suit resolution process? Was she properly served? Did the plaintiff name everyone on the mortgage and note?

Every state is different. In NY, for example, you don't need to produce the "original" mortgage, just a certified copy (which is recorded with the County Clerk), but at the same time, all assignments need to be recorded before someone can assert rights thereunder.

I'm hoping that with what has happened with Bennet(?) in Utah, Murky, and Specter, that they realize unless they shape up they are next.  Lip service to the cause will no longer suffice.  At the most O'Donnell winning  the primary will have sent them the message that they can't look past the primaries anymore and just assume they're the candidate in the general.

Meanwhile, supposedly, UT Sophomore Colton Tully, 19 yr. old "of Austin" just happened to choose to play gunman before supposedly committing suicide?  He supposedly had a machine gun but only shot 3 bullets? Is Tully's body going to remain unaccounted for like the IRS leased bldg. "dead" but never identified/found bodies of the pilot and tax examiner?

318 /The local Leftist radio jerk is smearing Tooley's mother for having a home daycare center business while her son lived at home in Austin commuting to downtown UT

Ugh.  The jackals have no sense of shame. 

319 The thing that would make this more ball dippingly delicious than Kennedy's seat is that Steny's not a zombie.

321 That there topless girl has a panty on her head.

322 Hoyer can be gotten.

I lived in Charles County during the 1990's. He came within a hairsbreadth of early retirement in '94. PG may be solidly blue, and Charles purply, but St. Mary's and Calvert are pretty red.

I almost wish I still lived in Waldorf so I could vote against that whore again. As it stands, I'll work on firing Kratovil and Murkowski.

323 "He's also black, which will help. And also-- handsome. Also, Marine." Well, yeah, but is he Clean & Articulate?

324 "IMHO, the French Painting is a bad idea.  French Revoliution was the predicate for Marxism and socialism.  Find another graphic."

Delacroix's painting isn't even of the French Revolution: it's the July Revolution of 1830, which in reality didn't amount to all that much, just replacing Charles X with Louis-Phillipe.

325 332 Constitutional monarch instead of absolute monarch.Of course that quickly led to the second empire.

Well, apparently the revolutionaries DID get a sight of some deeply impressive titties, though.  Let's not forget that.

And it has nice tits in it. Score one for Delacroix!

328 Who's the stiff missing his pants and undies in the lower right?  Leave it up to a Frog to be taking his turn as the Bottom just as the Revolution breaks out.

329 Question for the moron physicist:  Can tits stand straight out like that, without a bra?

I have to believe that modern String theory can simultaneously unlock the solution to this conundrum and address the origins of the Universe.

330 Anyone know where  I might get me a nice pair of boots?

331 Sounds like Ace has a man crush going on.  Don't go all CJ on us Ace.

Certainly not!

333 You have the original Delacroix image reversed--Delacroix's self-portrait (he's thought to be the figure in the top hat to what should be Liberty's left) is in the wrong place. It doesn't matter a lot, but it matters. And this is an image of a rather complicated revolution, that of 1832, not the original Revolution of 1789. There was also a revolution in 1848, so France kept its revolutionary habits up for rather a time. Ultimately, they get to the Third Republic, but it takes till after the Franco-Prussian War.

There simply aren't enough Republicans in San Francisco to vote her out of office. I can't imagine much more than 20%. So there would have to be a huge backlash among the dems against Pelosi to combat the reflexive voting of the progressives in that beautiful but royally fucked-up city.

CharlieBrown'sDildo...stay out of that city or you will be kidnapped and made to do pushups in dark smelly places for eternity.

335 I help out the charles county gop with their web site and the long time members really think Lollar has a shot. Local business leaders around here are pissed! Stenys got a lot of money though, so it almost has to become a national race wise.

336 One of the complaints about the Tea Party is that they react emotionally and don't take the time to properly vet the candidates they rally behind. 

Lollar talks a real good story, but what do you know about him? 
Mark Warner was a businessman before he entered politics, Mitt Romney was a businessman ... to call Lollar a "businessman" is a stretch. 

I've given $$ to West both cycles, SarahPAC, Jesse Kelly and Nick Popaditch, but what I have heard from Marines who have worked with Lollar, I'm inspired to go volunteer for Hoyer's GOTV campaign.

You usually are more reticient and cautious ...I'm shocked you got snookered by a load of BS thrown your way at a lunch meeting.
