But but but – there were PICTURES.

Morning, BT and RC.

Check this out:

For sheer loathsomeness and anti-electability, no one beats the repulsive and crazy Rick Santorum: Palin minus the brains, Newt minus the popularity, Pawlenty minus the sex appeal, and Mitt Romney minus the principles.

From Cocktailhag

All that in one….? Must be quite a guy, or something.

Good morning all.

The Shrill One’s column and blog are converging these days.

How come Gaddafi gets called on the carpet for torture & other war crimes but W & O don’t. (Rhetorical Q)

Cause we OWN the carpet ?

Good morning, everyone. Rachel has been hammering IOKIYAR for several nights. Good for her. The hypocrisy is breathtaking. Reince Priebus’s response when asked about Vitter the other night was laughable. He just looked venal and stupid.

Rain here again today. I am building my ark.

EDIT to add: wish I could learn to spell “hypocrisy” without making multiple tries. Ditto Reince Priebus.

How about IOKIYAO?

Let’s start another war by bombing Syria.

Yep.

Only losers get accused of war crimes.

Another kinetic military action, you mean.

“O”?? Obama? Sorry, I don’t get it….need more tea!

You got it :-)

If the U.S. had an honest corporate media the public would know that the Republicans are scumbags and GWB is a war criminal and BHO is a narcissistic corporate enabler.

democracynow covering nuke meltdown in Japan. Among other items, work is so hard to come by, that workers are volunteering to work the site.

Sounds like it’s about time for a nuke meltdown in U.S. as a jobs program.

Sorry, the Rentiers are opposed.

…wish I could learn to spell “hypocrisy” without making multiple tries.

Don’t look at me – I’m only in charge of the apostrophes.

also – hello I must be going.

Why Syria? They got no Oil. I say we start a war with either Saudi Arabia or Venezuela.

Though there would be advantages to hitting Mexico. They’ve got Oil, it would be a short supply line, and we could deal once and for all with those Scary Brown Mexicans.

Boxturtle (Texas has oil and Perry wants to secede….Hmmm)

U.S. already took over Mexico militarily under guise of war on drugs.

Plans for takeover of Venezuela got bolixed up, then U.S. got distracted by Middle East.

The Saudi are in U.S. pocket, but are acting pissy of late by not increasing production, so perhaps you’ve got a point.

Go figure: Yesterday morning, I heard he is not running for Pres, but positioning himself to be Spokesman/Televangelist…In afternoon, after news of departure of the Newt staff, I hear Perry is running for Pres and those folks will work for him…..What say you?

It’s wide open for the hairdo.

So he’s running for Beauty Queen? OK>

Waves to jayt! Don’t see you much….lawyering must be keepin’ you busy!

The R ladies are behind him.

Our paper had an excellent column from a group of TX Law officers who are opposing his sanctuary cities effort. Made me really proud; they set out about 4 points of opposition. I think I will write a LTE.

Margaret posted this bumper sticker on the last thread:

George W. Obama

I want one.

Mornin’, BT, pups

Regressives are hypocrites? Old news.

eCAHN:

Honey ferments easily, creating a fungus that affects the hummingbird’s tongue, eventually causing death. That’s why honey isn’t used in feeders. From the Stokes’ book on hummingbirds, old but still in print and the classic primer on hummers.

Saw it. Quite succinct. Might really catch on.

Honey ferments only if the water content is too high or deliberately if other ingredients are added to make mead.

On edit: So diluted with water, as it would be used in hummingbird feeders is why it would ferment under those circumstances. Got it.

the classic primer on hummers

I will refrain.

I’ll follow the hummer experts.

‘Morning, Bev
I was wondering who’s team that En Masse was going to go work for.
Everyone was using that term yesterday, including Chris Hayes on RM last night. Cool people use French terms, I guess.

Brutal. Funny!

Morning BT & Friday Pups of Friday Fire.

Yeah…Too easy…

Real Murikans say: “The whole freakin’ staff.”

Maybe it depends on who you lie to.

four days before his June 6 press conference, Weiner had a phone conversation with Obama in which Weiner aggressively denied that he had sent the photo of himself in his underwear.

Or The Smart Ones….

Sharpton on Morning Joke holding forth on curriculum.

You’ve gotta admit, for sheer, undiluted comedy value, Santorum is hard to match. Personally, I’d really enjoy watching a “debate” that includes Santorum, Palin, Bachmann, and a few others of their unique varietal characteristics. On the other hand, the popcorn expense would be right through the roof. And that’s why I advocate public financing of campaign debate popcorn expenses.

No debate of such magnitude would be complete without Pat Buchanan.

Isn’t he senile yet? Do not mean to be unkind….

I’d really enjoy watching a “debate” that includes Santorum, Palin, Bachmann,

Or a spelling bee — or a history or constitution quiz.

You make an excellent point.

Overheard at Newt’s office yesterday morning:
Alla y’all get your back ends over to that tall drink a water’s shack.

Mittens gave the Hairdo his opening: Global warming is happening.

We were wondering why he climbed on that band wagon. Seems sort of untypical. Maybe to offset the anti-Mormon vote. Loose some here, pick up some over there.

Maybe the Big Money boys now see that as the next way to fuck over the rest of us.

Off to swim in the great capitalist cesspool.

US KIA Afghanistan: 1,613

US KIA Irak: 4,460

Iraki, Afghan and Pakistani casualties: estimates vary to over 1.5M

US MBS 2011: 19.840 and counting

Gaudete

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things

Namaste

No war but class war

Never. Give. Up.

They already have too many ways. They must love overkill.

Yep…I read it was appeal to the Independents….we’ll see.

OT: Dummy of the Day: Limbaugh Can’t Tolerate Romney’s Nod to Science!

Conservatives will not accept evidence—even unassailable scientific evidence—at odds with their pre-existing dogmas largely because they can’t without making their brains hurt.

Article:

Will Iowa matter for Romney with Rush and the Baggers on his back.

I’m thinkin’ the Regressive brand is toxic to most Americans.

Big Hair travelling to New York and Los Angel. next week….why not Iowa?

He pulled out of the Straw Poll — trying to keep Iowa from mattering much.

Money?

Let’s hope…sign of intelligence….

Then O is in trouble. /s

George W Obama? Imagine that.

With Big Hair in the mix, we could have another TX Pres….something to fear?

If we can get some real progressives elected to the House and regain the majority I don’t worry about who’s in the WH.

There seems to be a trend with that kind of thinking. I agree. Let’s keep that momentum going.

How I appreciate your optimism….Cheers.;)

Romney will not do well in Iowa. He knows it. Accordingly, he is trying to deemphasize it.

Iowa’s Republican caucus is controlled by the fundies. They do not accept Mormons.

In Iowa the economy is booming. As such, the Republican caucus campaign will center on social issues. It will be all about getting the endorsement of the Bob Vander Plaats. He is the anti-gay leader of the fundies. The candidate who gets his blessing will win. Romney has no chance of getting his endorsement.

But there were pictures…

The one article that stands out in my mind about the WSJ, pre-Murdoch,
was the last paragraph of a long article that i didn’t read. Ken Auletta
was quoting a senior editor of the WSJ not long after the Clinton scandals.
It was similar if not exactly like this: “If a conservative is caught in adultery
we will defend them. That’s not fair, but life isn’t fair”

The whole conservative hypocrisy laid bare except for the fact that everyone knew about it
before he *laid it bare*. Republicans are special, Gov. Sanford is special, Ensign is special,
Vitter is special, Arnold is Arnold, Bob Barr, Limbaugh, that Gingry fella, they’re all
covered ahead of time under the banner of heaven and bla bla bla.
