He wore the magical undies, but he didn’t inhale.

Now Newt belongs to the ages (and Sheldon).

Newt Romney

Ah, Freud.

Florida Primary says one thing

very loud

Old People who watch TV can be brainwashed.

…..easily.

And it would be rofl if the MSM got off their kneepads and reported

on these bits of infotainment.

Changed it…but it does sort of work.

Oh, no, it was perfect as it was.

Indeed it does. When reading about the clowns during the primaries I kept thinking of The Theatre Of The Absurd
herewith two quotes I found describing the ToA

“They are inhabiting a universe with which they are out of key. Its meaning is indecipherable and their place within it is without purpose. They are bewildered, troubled and obscurely threatened.”

“Logical construction and argument gives way to irrational and illogical speech and to its ultimate conclusion, silence.”

Had this dream totally outside reality, a scumbag won a primary in FL and announced, to cheers, that he was going to save the economy by enabling the entrepreneurs and job creators, who brought it down before. And the gnomes and wild things all danced around … oh, right, it was real. We live in an insane asylum.

It is also known the Romney has done this for particular individuals, such as he late father-in-law an avowed atheist.

He really must have hated the poor man. What an insulting, self serving, vile thing to do. Typical of religionists who always think they know better…

True, but on the other hand, the baptized themselves aren’t complaining.

Lighting a candle to them seems a bit more kind in nature than marrying them in perpetuity.

True but if any of my family found that some ah*&e had thrown godisms at me, dead or alive, they would be horrified.

Depends on the deities. Ba’al only wants to have fun, imho.

M’eh. Willard vetoing money for kosher meals doesn’t bother me at all. I’ve always thought that religion based dietary restrictions was one of the more stupid aspects of organized superstition. With all due respect to our religious population here, most of those restrictions seem to be based on the lack of refrigeration at the time they were initially restricted. People who refuse to move into the twentieth century when the rest of us have moved into the 21st don’t get a lot of sympathy from me.

Typical of religionists who always think they know better

Spot on. That’s pretty despicable. And for what? Getting church brownie points?

One part I like in many cultures is the annual clean up and throw things out. That seems like a good plan for anyone.

Good morning all,

The clown car rolls on.

Are Willard’s fundie undies 1000 count Egyptian ?

Good morning, pups. We have Dowd and Friedman today. MoDo is full of questions: “Who’s Tough Enough?” Can backbone propel you to the front? Team Mitt and Team Barry compete on spine spin. The Moustache of Wisdom, in “The Politics of Dignity,” says from Cairo to Moscow, humiliation has been the most underestimated force in politics.

Here they are.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got blueberry pancakes for breakfast. The idea of Mormons having “baptized” Holocaust victims is repellent in the extreme. I wonder how Mittens would react to the idea of someone “baptizing” him into another religion after he’s dead… On a happier note, it seems that Attaturk’s little toy troll hasn’t showed up. Maybe we’ll be spared today. Time for tea and getting ready for work. Have a great day.

Thanks, Marion, spine is the latest substitute for rational judgment? We had that before, and it worked very badly.

In this country that used to happen every biennial and quadrennial now we are stuck with the same garbage year after year after year after year…

MoDo has gotten so stupid and tedious…

Can backbone propel you to the front?

Obviously not if we look at the present occupant of the WH. The BIg Zero has so little backbone he could probably lick his own arse.

The idea of “Jubilee”, every 50 years anniversary, forgive debts and free slaves, always appealed to me.

Right? Anybody who thinks Obama has a backbone hasn’t been paying attention. Anybody who thinks he’ll suddenly display one should have themselves CT scanned and checked for a tumor pressing on the rational portions of the brain.

That could work for me too, however I would suggest every generation not every other generation.

Good Morning.

On that backbone issue, there is none. He can’t think about the common good or the American citizens. He is too busy being President to the banks, corporations, and trying not to make repugs angry with him. You see, he thinks it is fine to continue the shat scheme on citizens.

He needs an entirely new group of advisors from the working class.

Who would write a mortgage in the year before the Jubilee ?

You can advise a fool all you want, then you look like a fool too.

LOL!

It might be that our real estate has been ruined so badly that in the future we might be able to pay cash for it. The market may actually fall to the point of a high end appliance.

From last week the revelation made them all look like fools. We already knew Turbo Tax Free Timmeh was working against him, now it appears everyone in his circle is.

Not bad, but I guess that was left to personal choice, the other was mandated. Not sure that it was enforced, though.

I never knew the Mormons did this. It’s tough to think of something that could offend someones religious sensitivities more than having an ancestor “converted” to Mormonism. Or any religion outer than their chosen one.

Won’t take long to know whom Mitt converted. Unless the Mormons are willing to selectively edit their records, it should be logged, dated, and signed.

Boxturtle (Do you suppose God pulled them out of Jewish heaven and placed them in Mormon heaven?)

Rent to own, maybe.

The market may actually fall to the point of a high end appliance.

Dunno if it will fall that low but housing is still ridiculously overpriced. And it’s not the craftspeople and laborers that build them getting rich.

Ruth, did you ever see “King of Hearts”? — A movie where the people in a (French) asylum “occupy” (by default) a town after WW2. A parody of who is insane and who is not. The inmates return themselves to the institution when “civilization” returns and the protagonist (not originally one of them) joins them. Delightful.

Somehow I expect it was more than the other gods kicked them into Mormon ether of their choice.

He’s sure displayed a lot of backbone when it comes to drones. Or indefinate detention. Or not prosecuting banksters.

Boxturtle (A lot of backbone, considering it’s Obama)

No, the crafts and builders are not getting it. The banks are getting paid for the same piece of property about 11 times or more.

He needs an entirely new group of advisors from the working class

Wouldn’t help. Everytime he’s replaced someone, he’s replaced them with someone so similar as to be indistingushable. Timmeh is saying he’ll leave if Obama gets re-elected, think that his replacement will be anything other than a Bankster?

Boxturtle (Obama is the problem, not his staff)

No, you are correct. It will be another bankster. No matter how much I would prefer to see William Black in the position, I’ve learned not to hope for change. ;-)

Yup. And given the shadow inventory and the short sales, I’d say we’re overpriced more than we know.

I think the local banks have some sort of agreed limit as to the number of forclosures on the market at any one time. There are att least 8 houses near me, foreclosed, empty, but not listed for sale. When one of the forclosures listed sells, one of the vacent ones gets a yard sign.

Boxturtle (Cooincidence?)

I don’t think so. I also don’t think it is coincidence that once a person signs up for unemployment benefits in their state that JP Morgan Chase offers them a UI debit card and begins trolling their home mortgage.

Good morning all.

Good Morning, Honey.

Hope you have a lovely day.

Thanks. You too.

In other news, Pfizer recalls birth control pills bc they don’t prevent pregnancy.

R plot?

In still other news, Prince William will reconquer Falklands/Malvinas. Best quote from story

The pressure on Britain includes a ban by South America’s Mercosur nations on any Falklands-flagged vessels entering their ports. That action prompted British Prime Minister David Cameron to accuse Argentine President Cristina Fernandez of having “colonialist” aims on an island population that wants to remain a British dependency. She accused Cameron of “mediocrity bordering on stupidity.”

My bold.

I don’t know, but wouldn’t put it past them. You know their views on abortions don’t work the same for their mistresses.

LOL! You can’t laugh loud enough at this stuff. Other things you can’t get angry enough. This morning our stations were beating war drums for Iran. Charlie Rose on CBS was yakking it up.

That movie ran for something like ten years in Central Sq. Cambridge. Super movie.

Charlie Rose is a moron. Had no guest other than neocons before Iraq invasion.

Jeeze I wonder if will offer to pay for the needed abortions or will they do a Santorum and say tough shit.

Rick Santorum says rape victims should ‘make the best of a bad situation’ if they get pregnant and give birth to the ‘gift from God’

Naw. Looks like a simple packaging error. But they didn’t finish verifying the run before they released the run for sale. You’re supposed to let QA sign off before you ship.

Boxturtle (Somebody is going to get yelled at)

In the “This is news?” category, testosternone can skew one’s judgement.

Oh pshaw. That’s the cover story. *g*

Yep. You can tell where he gets his bread and butter from.

For those that have not seen it yet, that troll will zip around and deface dead threads.

“Posthumous baptisms…”

I’d never heard of such. Talk about religious arrogance…

You gotta wonder: Do Saddam and Ghadafi make the cut for that?

You too can be baptized by Orrin Hatch!

“Obama is the problem, not his staff.”

Truer words aint been spoke around here.

And, when he picked Rahm to wrangle the White House, at first I was worried that Rahm might get smeared with some of Blago’s mess, and have to go…then, after a few months, I was like:

“Goddammit, Fitz; do your job and hang this arrogant, crooked, little shit.”

But he was Obama’s guy, just like that socialist, William Daley. :o)

Daaamn, nomo; you have filled my life with hope and purpose.

I go now, to start the pilgrimage to Mountain Meadows, Utah, where the godly, peace-loving Mormons have established (quietly) a shrine to their humanism and kind hearts.

Thinking logically here:

if the strength of a stranger’s faith can “change” a person’s religious faith after death…is it hard to imagine a political operative could change a person’s ballot choice after it enters an electronic voting machine?

religious dogma has consequences

Isn’t Billy Graham still alive? He could be…transferred…now; and not have to wait. I’ll bet the Mormons would even let him bring his little stash of anti-semitism along with him.

Know the difference betwen Obama and Hillary? Hillary’s got balls.

Has anyone posted this? It’s a piece from Rolling Stone by Matt Taibbi, titled “Romney Versus Gingrich; the odd couple.”

It’s 24K gold. :o) :

“Hillary’s got balls”

Well, it turns out that’s about the only difference, and not much of one, since the both of them are heavy into licking rightwing ass.

With all due respect to commenters here, I truly feel that Obama’s got spine & balls a-plenty.

It takes a heckava lotta brass iron balls (as my mates downundah used to say) to LIE like a rug to the voters in 2008, the way he did. And ya know that Obama KNEW he was LYING big-time.

Obama also constantly displays a ram-rod stiff spine when it comes to doing what his corporatist/MIC 1% puppetmasters want him to do. Assassinate USA citizens? No problem! Drone loads of brown folks all over the globe? Bring it on! Keep Gitmo closed? Yay Team USA! Tell the world that Pfc Bradley Manning is guilty as sin before being tried???? Sign me up! Tell the planet that Wall ST & the Banks did *nothing illegal* so the 99% can STFU?? Right ON!

Balls? Spine? Barry’s got ‘em. Just ain’t that interested in using either in support of the 99%.
