That's funny. Kind of like those cheesy college catalog pics that show all the harmonious students...

Heh. Voters are spoiled brats!

I will never forget when Peter Jennings declared that America had a temper tantrum after the republicans won in 1994. I think that is one of the first times in my life i realized the media wasn't honest. (i was only 10 at the time)

Good old Peter Jennings, he's in a better place now, hell.

@8

Goodun!

Add: I do not like you Harry Reid

You goddam fucking stupid dweeb...

Michigan tea party activists, who joined in opposition to Democratic initiatives, call it the Fake Tea Party -- aimed at confusing voters and draining conservative support from Republicans in close races.

The Free Press found:

• Mike McGuinness, the recently resigned chairman of the Oakland County Democratic Party, who had denied any role in the Tea Party controversy, recruited his former stepmother to run for state representative.

• Jason Bauer, 30, of Waterford, former operations director for the Oakland Democrats and McGuinness' roommate, notarized petitions for at least four affidavits to run for office for people who now -- directly or through a relative -- say they didn't sign the affidavits. Overall, he notarized 12 of 23 Tea Party candidate affidavits.

• State Senate candidate Frantt Whitehill of Midland, who insists he's a real tea partyer, is a Democratic donor who ran for precinct delegate as a Democrat in August.

• Three Tea Party candidates recently gave money to Democrats.

Bauer and McGuinness did not answer their door this week or respond to phone calls.

State Democratic Party Chairman Mark Brewer repeated Thursday that the state party was not involved. "You really have to talk to Jason Bauer and Mike McGuinness," he said. "Both of them have resigned and the Oakland County party is moving on."

Is this bathroom located in Austria, by chance?

maddog, this is why Glenn Beck's rally was A Good Thing:

Socialist revolution will never happen in a nation if its culture continually reaffirms and enshrines middle-class capitalist values. Thus, in order to pave the way for the arrival of a communist state, radicals must first insinuate themselves into and/or influence the media and educational system, and from these positions of influence change public attitudes about the status quo. To achieve political hegemony, you must first achieve cultural hegemony.

I smell a theme. Do you smell a theme?

Even secular scholars have long recognized that America's Judeo-Christian heritage supplied a set of ideals and principles -- such as the Protestant work-ethic and strong commitments to honesty, integrity, and compassion -- that encouraged and reinforced the habits and qualities that tend to help democracies and free markets flourish.

35 Somewhere there's a bizarro alternative universe where I give a flying fuck about what an illiterate dimwitted cocksucker like Eugene Robinson has to say about anything.

I loved him in The Ten Commandments.  "Where's your Messiah, now??"

That's like using a communal shower and taking the one right beside the only other person iin it.

There's a problem with that?

Mr. Pink-

Here is the answer to your burning toilet issue.

THANK you!

I am going to repost that...I just can't think how to credit you-  "~anonymous Moron", or "~T. Effin' Seuss Geisel" or something else?

@34 Damn vertigo is making me sick to my stomach...

If you're in an air conditioned space that isn't ventilated regularly, you might have an ozone buildup...ozone causes your middle ear to swell, which gives you the vertigo....it does for me, anyway.

 I thought there was an unwritten manlaw that said if there is any option to use a stall that is not beside someone you do it

I think there's actually a type of uber-Y male who thinks it's some form of macho bonding to take a shit next to each other. I been around a couple like that in the workplace.

Sudafed for a couple of weeks helps settle it down, but I'm only on week 1.

DAMN!

I had vertigo once, and it lasted for almost a week. But a couple of weeks?

I really think I would have died if that had been the case.

Oh, so now we have cat starters as well? 

If the sound of a can-opener doesn't get them moving, then they are probably dead.

Ha!

In the comments of Zombie's article, Martin Seligman gets quoted:

BaumeisterÂ’s work suggests that if you teach unwarrantedly high self-esteem to children, problems will ensue. A sub-group of these children will also have a mean streak in them. When these children confront the real world, and it tells them they are not as great as they have been taught, they will lash out with violence.

Of whom does that remind you?

I guess because of it being played on Sundays and there being no real natural team to follow. 

I'm not really sure there are any natural teams in the NFL.

Which is why I love college FB.

Thank you for this.

Half the ones I know perk up just enough to give you the look that says, "About time, peasant!  Now bring me the first course of my feast!"

Are we talking about cats or dems?

Sometimes I get confused.

Cool, moki! I'm part way through Leared Optimism, which I also bought for my step-father.

Must. Resist. making joke about how I'll never finish book on optimism...

My cats are pinkos of the "SPECIESIST!!!!" subset. Expect me to do all the work and provide all their food because I was born with thumbs and that's not fair.  Furry bastards.

@70:  That's how my involvement with the doctors actually started, with the declining hearing.  It came on gradually over 10-15 years.  With mine, it's more like something is swollen and during extreme swelling in there, I get the attacks of vertigo. 

I find it interesting that you are having attacks of vertigo and your daughter is having hearing trouble...I would almost certainly blame something environmental for that.  If you run those 'air cleaners' that produce ozone, I'd stop that...ozone is bad, not good.  The worst attack of vertigo I ever had was caused by one of those 'lightning balls' novelty lamps that make the artificial lightning...filled the room with ozone and I fell asleep with it running...I was screwed for a whole day after that.

You can email me at canadave -at- live -dot- ca if you want more details...

Just to get back to vertigo, for anyone who has never had it. Imagine being stumbling drunk, pretty much unable to stand, being sick to your stomach, and even if you lay down the ceiling is rotating.

And you haven't had any alcohol. That's how bad it is.

 Oh, so now we have cat starters as well?  I wonder how that works without the cat just looking at you like you're an idiot...

I usually just kick start my cat.

Agreed...it's worse than the drunken spinnies...the spinning action seems much more violent and you're not tranquilized by the alcohol so it's a lot more upsetting

Plus I s'pose you bubble-dwelling urbanites think a "cat hat" is a little beanie for le kittehs?

At our refinery, we have an impressive piece of equipment called a "cat cracker." Please ask for details. It'll give you the ver-ty-go.

And kittehs don't want to destroy us.

Yeah, just wait 'till the saber-tooths come back...

I had it once about 25 years ago.  Came on for no reason at all.  So bad that if I tried to stand up, I hit the ground.  Room was constantly spinning.  Husband and friend took me to the hospital.  I kept puking on the nurses. 

In hindsight, I think it was BPPV.  (I think BPPV is a recent discovery and wasn't known about then.) 

@107:  I hope you and your daughter are feeling better soon.

I gotta go get some work done now

Does anyone get @104? 

Well, let's ask.

Hey! The American People at September 03, 2010 10:57 AM (zyaZ1)

What's your problem?

Just curious...

I don't understand why there aren't at least fifty dead HAMAS leaders in the headlines today.  The "peace process" depends on a rest-in-peace process for HAMAS.  

We are the Sovereign, jackbag

Ookaay...

Back to you Y-not....

I agree with McScribbler, describing this as "a yawner" is ridiculous. Each month of 9.5% unemployment should be a f'n outrage. I understand the numbers not moving but the comparison is not with last month but what the numbers should be. That's why this report should be a siren call. It's like a freak'n air raid warning during WWII. Nobody would have said "there goes that siren again, what a yawner".

Put it this way, if 5% unemployment is full employment then its like Defcon 5. 10% unemployment would be Defcon 1. We are basically at DEFCON 1 employment wise (and ecomonically). We got the President running around acting likes things are Defcon 5 just making shit up about "recovery summer"

You're poem by Seuss, I really like

I really like it like a bike

eh, well, that's all I got.  So?

Forget peter jennings, does anybody remember that A-Hole James Carville

wearing that garbage can on his head in 94?

Yep.  You won Barry.

It is all yours.
