I see what you did there.
Too bad they'll all be too busy playing a certain game being released that day to go out and vote.

Communion wine is pretty high ABV dude.
probably not higher than this Jager though. crikey
I do hope for the best for Vermont's single payer system, but I worry. Seems like such a freakishly huge headache to try and figure all that out for just a state and not for the whole country. The interactions with federal programs and just the fact that the base isn't as large as it could be could mean it just doesn't work quite as well as it could. I just hope it doesn't fail for some of those reasons and give people a bad idea of the system, though I doubt it'll do that.
Also every time I mention Vermont to my wife now she wants to move there until she once again realizes it's even more north of us.

And yet 9/11 still happened. We went into Iraq, the whole weapons of mass destruction thing, etc. Sorry we have a president who likes to read the reports rather than have them read to him like Bush. I'm sure Bush's briefings had a fuckin puppet show too.
Keep fucking that chicken.
Wouldn't be surprised if Romney wanted us in Iran on January 21st.
Well I suppose as long as they came up with a decent enough reason...

Ryan spoke at a conference before this guy, today. haha.
Maddow talked about this. Apparently this dude claims Obama is saying muslim prayers during the pledge of allegiance. Fucking nutcases.

Rmoney's gonna get his work during the debates.
I'm asking because I was having a discussion with a friend earlier today and he was playing the typical left=right card and was complaining how lobbying and money needs to get out of politics. I explained to him the only that is going to happen is if the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional.
I'm struggling to think of what part of the constitution this violates...maybe the 14th amendment, but it's hard to argue that since the average American could conceivably do the same things they do. I think it'd have to be ruled illegal first, and that's a 1st amendment issue just waiting to happen. You'd probably need a constitutional amendment for it.
Actually, it's that last thing that kind of worries me. I'm not sure what sorts of residency requirements they have, but it's easy to imagine that people with especially high health care costs might be more likely to move to Delaware now. There are plenty of systems that would be very workable on a national level but which would have huge adverse selection problems on a state level. State taxes are much less progressive than federal taxes for similar reasons.
This article makes sense, but I really hope Obama fucks him up.
And what does it say about the state of our country and Israel that a guy who is pretty much a modern day Eisenhower Republican is so vehemently despised and hated by these groups?

You got a boy? The easiest way to teach him to pee standing up, no bullshit, is to throw cheerios in the toilet and have him aim.
And I feel you on the economics. I make more than I used to now, and I do feel a difference, but I still seem to come close to not having shit at the end of the month because things came up. And I've lived super poor before. Everything seems to scale to a point where you feel you can't really ever get out from under it sometimes.
No, would have to be an amendment.

Damn Damn Damn. Was hoping they would push this.
Aww and we didn't even have a Daily Show this week to make fun of it. They could have at least waited a week.

Hey Ryan, what deductions will you cut? Hey Romney, can we see your taxes for the last 5 years?
Hilarious how they've taken up the "victim" platform this election, too.

Oh the things I'd like to do to Norah O'Donnell. <3
Though I think Kelly O'Donnell is the hotter of the two O'Donnells.

I was thinking of this today. Romney and Ryan had been allowed to lie incessantly with little media pushback to their face till recently. That's why Romney did that press conference. He didn't anticipate that kind of reaction at all.
I'm sure they calculated it'd be an easy drive-by attack on Obama that would get repeated in the media with "he said, she said" coverage.
The fact that Romney had the audacity to pre-empt the president (with a slanderous attack no less) on this kind of issue shows how badly the media has failed to hold him accountable this election cycle.

Out of all the shit that bugs me about the republican platform, it's the persecution complex and the victimhood bullshit they love pulling out REGULARLY.

A big part of Ryan as the VP choice, imo, has to do with the fact that he's intrinsically linked with the tea party. Those people will NEVER believe anything good about democrats, and especially the President. It's basically Romney using Ryan to lie in the way that Romney can't because he still wants to try and court undecided voters. The tea party will never fact check or second guess the shit coming out of Ryan's mouth, so he's basically going to be the pitbull of bullshit for that ticket going forward.

Good luck talking about how strong you'll be as a foreign policy leader while complaining that the mean ol' media (or for Rush's followers, EVERYBODY) keeps being mean to you and it's totally unfair and stuff.
His mopey body language/voice screams "Oh god, why the fuck am I doing this again? That asshole didn't even call me to tell me I didn't get to be veep slot. His son did. Who the fuck does that? And I have to push this bullshit lie. God damn it."
Also, she could have handled it better. Right after she corrected him, he went straight back to the lie and repeated it like three times.
Jesus christ he just keeps fucking that chicken and plowing through with his lie. She pointed out the statement came before any sort of attacks or even the protests and he keeps saying "It's simple, the first response to an attack shouldn't be an apology." Goddamn I'd have wanted to ring his stupid neck if I were her.

Romney only said he likes snooki because snooki is a Republican...because she opposes Obama's tan tax.
Yup, she lost the one possibly redeeming attribute she once had.
Would not smash in current form.
I'm sorta surprised that Michelle's approval rating is lower than Bill's.
LOL @ Ann Romney's approval among Republicans. Even she can't muster much in her own party.
