— Open Blogger A grammar test.
I got 8/10 but had to really think REALLY HARD about several of them. For a gearhead techie, who mostly deals in a "See the dog." type writing, that's probably a damned good score. With slight chemical/alcohol impairment, I could see scoring maybe 2/10...or less.
OK, that's enough diversion, now back to the good stuff - like Limbaugh living rent free in Obama's head.
...there are Republicans out there who would like to work with us, but theyÂ’re fearful of their base and theyÂ’re concerned about what Rush Limbaugh might say about them. And as a consequence, we get the kind of gridlock that makes people cynical about government...See, its like this, the failure of bipartisanship is all due to one man, a private citizen, who's really just an entertainer, not any sort of deep policy wonk per se, yet he manages to be both an evil super-genius for managing to deftly thwart the plans of the smartest man in the room, and a drug addled Neanderthal knuckle dragger who represents the last dying remnants of bitter clingers who stand no chance of ever ever winning an election again rushing headlong onto the ash heap of history to join pet rocks, hoop skirts, chastity belts, and cuneiform as a spoken language.
That these two characteristics, evil super-genius with the power to thwart the most powerful man on the planet and clingy wasteoid doper throwback ash heap percher can reside within the same human body concurrently is near miraculous...at the very least its a 1:1,000,000 shot according to my bookie.
(1) ScandalGate™ - the "meta scandal" that there's so many concurrent scandals.

Funny that you put a picture of Jerri Ryan up.
Her husband Ran against JEF for Senate. Obama leaked their divorce documents where she made false claims against Jack Ryan.
Ryan lost to Obama.
7 of 9 helped put JEF into the White House.
I blame The Borg and Bush.

I have to state for the record,
Given the term of this worm, one must be careful not to be distracted by the "Bright Shiny Things!"
There are things afoot below the radar that we should be more concerned about.
This POS is not done yet....lame duck is just a cover for this asshole....

So don't feel ashamed if you miss a couple.
There are several differences between commonwealthish and 'merican. Like comparisons, particularly to and from, some which/that differences, etc.

Second, there are no rules, so no wrong answers, (It's debatable).
and I got a zero...so the test is flawed.

My message to TFG and crew is simple, and brought to you by one of the most versatile words in the English language:
Fuck you, you fucking fucks.

I had no idea they were working in so many different materials. This really will change the world. Neal Stephenson's Diamond Age is coming to life.

IT'S THE BBC!!!
IT'S BRITISH!!
They speak a different dialect from American English and their grammar usage is also different.
Plus: What difference does it make now?

"Which of the following is incorrect
I was sitting in the chair.
I sat in the chair.
I was sat in the chair."
The last one is the answer, but I think it can make sense. If someone else forcibly made me sit down, then I was sat in the chair.

He is using the variation between the summary (from notes because they were not allowed to make copies) of the emails on the talking points and comparing it to one actual email copy "someone" gave him. Of course they don't match, since one is a summary.
So he is acting like the GOP CHANGED the email, and this is some sort of proof of a witch hunt or something.
Jake Tapper is NOT the ace reporter he portrays on TV. I had run-ins with him when he wrote for Salon and mocked Bush constantly during the 2000 campaign. He is obsessed with pop culture and perfected the act of asking one tough question occasionally in press conferences (usually on something not crucial to the administration) and hardly ever asked follow-ups. He only looked good because Chuck Todd was in the room.
I would tell him this on Twitter but he is as thin-skinned as Obama and blocked me. I hope he ends up eating from a trash can.

I got 8/10 but several of them were pure ass lucky guesses. I would have flunked senior English if it had not been for the second half which was literature.

Awesome. I like the 1979 version better. "Live At The Paradiso" is a kickass album.

I am positive that the theme was pushed by Carney or one of the other hacks in the White House, probably at that super-secret meeting with select reporters. Tapper got it on air first because his show starts at 4PM.
He is despicable.

==========
Every day, every person faces the same choice: give oneself over to Evil, or stand fast and hold to Good. These people consistently make the wrong choice.

Looks like it is still in the theory stage but possibly true. I would like to have seen how change there was.
But one thing to keep in mind. All things radioactive are not "constant" per-say. They are based on a wide assortment of averages so that the published data can be taken as a fact to be used in empirical calculations. IOW if you look at one atom's decay it will be different than another one atom's decay. However if you look at 10 billion atom's decay the average will be a solid number that can be used.

There would've been no divorce -
No divorce papers for TFG to have unsealed -
No Senate seat for TFG -
TFG would be fetching coffee for Bill Clinton and rabble rousing in Chicago still to this day.
All because of one woman's prudishness.

Was cuniform ever a spoken language? I though it was just an early writing technique.

RE: /Scandalgate.
It's not a 'gate'. Due to the real bodies and the high ranking Democrat skating away with no consequences, it's a 'quidick'. We can only hope their is enough spinal material in the House of Reps to convert this to a 'gate'.
