What Kind Of Sick And Wrong…

…human being doesn’t like this stuff?

I had a pretty bad day all in all, and this rescued me, as it were.

The day I get shit-canned is the day I pick myself up a dog and love it into submission.

IOW, soon, at least maybe.

 

No Shit

John Cole sums up just a whole gunnysack fulla problems.

(And the Rolling Stone writer he’s referring to is Matt Tiabbi, whom I can’t believe Goldman-Sachs hasn’t disappeared yet.)

 

Sign Me Up!

We are in one weird place in world history.

Jesus Christ.

Digby and Glenn have more.

Update: Major confession: These things wouldn’t be a bad idea, just in case the right-left thing gets too out of hand. I would just point it like I golf:

If you’re worried about hitting the tree, aim at it.

 

Happy Veteran’s Day

A heartfelt sincere shout-out to anyone who has ever served in the defense of this country. Your sacrifice is unimaginable to me. If I was King, you’d never have to pay much for anything “public” ever again.

Bless you all.

 

Presidential Material

Sarah Palin continues to impress.

Update: The commentary at BJ is awfully smart and funny.

 

Annals Of Truly Bad Timing

The GOP electing Michael Steele as one of their leaders in this climate.

Dead man walking.

 

And But As Much As I Hate It…

…Obama is playing this one right.

History moves slow, and he knows it. Progress is made on incremental gains.

I know how he feels about it. It’s just that there are too many Republican Democrats to do anything else, or take any other position. Sad, but true.

The interesting and illuminating question is whether and how he can use this in the ‘10 or ‘12 elections.

How any woman could concede her uterus to a controlling authority is simply beyond me, no matter what she wants to do with it.

 

Stupak (D-Misogynist)

Somewhere near half this country has a stake in this, and I’ll bet all of 15% realize or care it is even happening. Kudos to The Man.

It isn’t about “choice,” it is about punishing women who have non-State sanctioned sex by putting them at higher risk of death. For Christ’s sake, look at History when it comes to women, or Religion when it comes to women, Politics when it comes to women; seriously, get an economy-sized Clue if you think women have had their proportional vote in History.

TBogg has the right reaction, here.

And a terrifically funny and Corporate-Media-if-it-got-big-enough-way to respond. Send some luvin’.

Depending on how you want to express your displeasure, here’s a negative way. Fire these fucks with your wallet.

Still think we’re not going to recover in the 20-30 years to 1-day I have left. Electing Bush The Lesser the second time was a historically short-term unforgivable mistake to make. So I make my adjustments.

 

Ft. Hood

I keep saying stress fractures are appearing everywhere, and I’m sticking by it, and raising myself: There will be massive violent protests, which I like to call riots, nationwide by 2011. There’s simply too much anger and frustration out there for it not to blow.

Also, I would say it would be a good time to lie low if you’re a Muslim.

Sad. For all of us.

Tick, tick, tick…

Update: Dr., heal thyself. Turns out at least one of the shooters is a mental health MD. The silicon chip inside his head clearly got switched to overload.

 

Shorter Orrin Hatch (R-UT)

“If one party passes keeps passing* legislation most people like, it could doom the other party to extinct status!”

I don’t get it, Senator.

Hat tip to Atrios and a whole bunch of other bloggers.
