“He wouldn't know leadership if it bit him in the ass.
Thought senators were pledged to the interest of the United States. Turns out our fate is decided by guys with bad hair representing as many people as there are in a larger NY borough. Oh, and Omaha of Nebraska (or whatever entity it is now.)”

“Wow, someone else who knows Peter de Vries!!! Unfortunately, I don't think Peter thought that the human race was all that great. He knew what was right and wanted human being to do right, but I do not think he expected to follow through. The fact that such offal as that gang mentioned in your note have massive audiences is proof.
But, as Sam Beckett said, I can't go on, I'll go on.”

“So what else is new?”

“Super! Would make a great advertisement.
Bravo.”

“Maybe Barney the Chubby would introduce an interest cap at 3 percent above what is paid tot he highest interest bearing accounts the banks offer. But I think I have seen Barney's shoes under banks' beds.”

“As we know, banks or the feeder pimps would never want anybody to misrepresent any facts. Nor would banks send letters to college kids to have the glorious credit card with the interest only a financial rapist would charge, and make it sooo easy to have the magic plastic with up to 26% interest. No, banks would not do that.
This bad lady should have been punished. Too bad the thumb screw is illegal. Naughty lady.”

“I've been assuming this will likewise be applied to church steeples with their significant cruciforms, to all those dangling gold chains with crucifixes, stars of David and other religiously significant meaning. Maybe i am wrong? I assume it is the fearful little pale cantonese with their brief cases carrying sandwiches to the offices where they will run columns of figures who are responsible for this discriminatory law?”

“She should have been with it from the beginning, that poor state with miserable records in almost every important civilized area, and corruption to embarrass even the Ukranians! If anything she got trickles down to the poor I will be surprised and pleased.”

“What's great is they can do things in the name of something for which there is less thn no proof! WOW!”

“Goodness, biblical views are often very wacky. After all, we've got a collection of sritings by a lot of old dead guys who had different views of the same moment coming up with very different stories and very different versions of J. Those of us with a soft spot for a message of Jesus of Nazareth fasten on the sermon on the mount. AThat is just another kind of rosy glasses gerrymandering of "the truth" of who this person was. Sometimes he was this angry, anti-establishment guy who wanted to plow folks under...or at least throw them out of the temple for doing business there. Sometimes he was in a big hurry and ignored the needy, other times screwed up the schedule by stopping and raising people from the dead. And this whole question of "taking things out of context" has never played for me. When it suits believers they quote the book as definitive. But when you ask how they can walk around with seamed clothing, they bring up the historical relativism argument. It don't play, kids, it don't play.”

“Nobody said that, Bozo.”

“Oh, my goodness, I am shocked!!!
I thought the drug companies existed to do good things, make a reasonable profit, and sleep well at night.
Not so, I guess.
Just rapacious m-fs like most businesses.”

“True. For some (it was always true) the military is a way up. Maybe minus a limb, but what the hell. Or minus a consciousness. It used to be the boxing ring for black kids and pugs from my Boston neighborhood. Without the benefits.
It is the age old story that the rich and the comfortable live on the backs of those with fewer options. Bring on that draft and you will see the Lexus generation's cojones shrinking.”

“Right you are. Get those nice Lexus driving types' children in boot camp prior to posting to war zones and you may indeed get a major change of mind. You can only play with Monopoly money so long. Those without any skin in the game....etcetera.”

“It is not a sunlamp. It is what makes him cry copiously after lunch. It is liquid. He is a drunk and a fool and represents badly some people in Ohio. He is an abomination. A drunken abomination.”

“Noonan is only cogent a limited number of hours a day to make her silly pronouncements. Does she walk to the package store or do they deliver?”

“Why in the name of sanity is anyone covering the blathering of this nincompoop??? Please?”

“guy made a typing error, jerk.”

“Not the only legitimate concern. I have noticed that cost is never the concern when there is a body count involved, or if we are talking warrior nonsense, and when the testosterone known as "national pride" involved. We can afford it for us if we can afford it for those turds sitting in congress. If we can't then they should lose theirs. (I am not talking a bris for the aging congress.)”

“Obviously an inappropriate and offensive move on the part of the University of Wyoming. (THey have a university; that's interesting.) But now that the subject is broached, I would be willing to begin a fund for a Cheney toilet in the student union, a never-flush model that denies it is full after overflowing. A great tribute to a great American.”

“can't they get the nutty reverend out of office? Will they fumigate when she leaves?”

“Feinstein gets it right sometimes.
As the slop givers to the pigs, this symbiosis between money and legislators could not be more apt. As the man said in another context, pigs is pigs”

“Very funny!”

“Make that PALINisms. (Never did learn to type well.)”

“Nice try, Alaska. The fact is that it is a congealed mass of Plainisms eating up all life in its wake.”
