Oh, boy. *hides under flame shield*
Can I share your flame shield nice lady?
*Scooches over*
Get ready: They will be here any minute, and they’re not pretty!
Oooh, yeah…any room for me under there?
*Scooches over more*
Sure! Good thing I got the deluxe flame shield, complete with juice bar and WiFi.
*Makes Kuro and Steve smoothies*
Ooh, yummy! I brought brownies, by the way. *passes plate around*
Hey I’m not ‘publican, but I want brownies…
Plus, I would have voted for McCain if he hadn’t picked Palin.. Does that count?
Oh.. perhaps I mis-understood
You meant.. you’re waiting for flames from the ‘publicans.
I still want brownies.
Sure! *passes plate out to charro* I’m sure there’s room for you under the flame shield if you want to wait for the “fun” to start. : )
-
Also, that was what decided things for me, as well. I think either candidate would have done a good job, but I don’t want Sarah Palin anywhere near my national government.
I just had to represent my AZ peeps. But yeah, I figured McCain would kick the bucket in like, March and we’d be stuck with Governor Twinkle… ooooh brownies *distractedly munching* mwumph phwoph pheep *ahem* I meant that she scares the living daylights outta me.
I understood you the first time. Perhaps I should have been a dentist…
I have to go to the dentist today.
In an alternate universe, you could be coming to my office. *practices* You should floss more, and quit chewing pens.
Thank you Dr. rhorho!!! I am much better now, and you did it without novocaine!
Wait ’til you get the bill.
Bwahahaha!
d’oh, rhorho, d’oh
Good Dentist. *drill noise*
Is it wrong that when I read that I though Rho told her to quit chewing penises?
Which is good advice…
I think I need a root canal.
A long…slow…root canal.
(Candy bar!!)
lf you tell me where it is, the problem, I’ll eventually find it and do it.
Quit chewing penises = good advice?! Holy moo I been doin it wrong.
… *cringes a little inside*
*Scooches*
When the Rethugs start flaming, you indies won’t be safe, either!
Well, let me in, then! I brought peanut-butter oatmeal chocolate
chip cookies….they’re fresh and warm, too.
NOM NOM NOM
I only have these pineapple slices.. I didn’t realise we were having a party today..
Perfect! David’s making Hawaiian cocktails in the back. He can use those on the garnish-kabobs.
Oooh, yummy! *noms*
I don’t call myself republican, just conservative (NOT NEO CON) can I have a peanut butter cookie?!?!
*passes the plate to Matthew* Sure!
Okay, Matt…but if you start flaming, we’re going to douse you in liberal water!
Come to the Left side….we have baked goods!
Well, the fiscally conservative independent brought the peanut butter cookies, Steve! (Do have one, they’re good!)
(I thought those cookies were a little on the small side. Evidently she’s fiscally conservative on her groceries, too.)
If you make them too big, the edges burn while the center’s still glop. Have two. Or three. And, yeah, should I tell you about the 101 ways to utilize Ramen noodles?
Wanna know the other 900? ;o)
Yeah prolly not. *squeeze* Thanks for making room and feeding me brownies.
Yay! Flame shield party!

Hey guys, sorry I’m late, I stopped on the way to pick up 20lbs. of spicy teriyaki chicken wings!

Heavens, what have I done? Tequila is bad for you! (brings out the cachaca) Caipirinhas for everybody!
Dew + Jack -> shortcut Lynchburgs!
*knock knock*
can i jump on this? i have a cowbell.
Just wait a decade or two. The Democrats will screw things up, and the Republicans will come in and have their chance…to screw things up. Gotta love politics…
Loves me them LOLitics.
Brilliant. That’s all there is to say.
wasn’t there something like that on graphjam? I wish i could find it
So true, so true. And that’s why I’m third party. (Who would probably screw it up like the aforementioned, but do it with style).
Which is kind of a pipe dream anyway, but hey.
Third party!?!?!?
How DARE you think before you act!

Thus completing the circle of life.

Damn, who left the doors to the twit ward open? Rho, was it you again?
*sulks*
It’s Slan’s fault. He brought spicy teriyaki chicken wings to the flame hideout, and I lost my head…
Yeah, right, it was the chicken, not the tequila. I buy that….
Is it my *hic* fault that *hic* chicken drank all that tequila?
*swoonplunk*
Final Average Pay?
Are you trying to read derpish? Why?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA I just saw the word “fap” and that’s where my brain naturally went. So sorry
LOL! Decade or two? Blagojevich has already managed to screw things up for them already.
Hmm. I see things haven’t improved in the last month. Ah well. See you all in February.
I really miss the bandwidth you’re occupying… Fancy making it sometime after I’ve died?
His post gave me a “huh?” What’s the deal with him, anyway?
I think he used to post way back when, before I got on here regularly. I remember his name, but that’s about it.
I remember his name, too, and, like you, don’t remember anything about him. On the surface, his statement doesn’t have much LOL or other value (except emo?). Maybe his lack of substance is why he isn’t memorable.
He was (is?) a McCain partisan. I suppose he takes issue with Obama partisans being happy over their win. I don’t know what he was expecting… long faces?
*tries for long face; busts up laughing*
I see what you mean. He’s expecting a hell of a lot, yes?
I’ve been on here a while, but not as long as you have. Were any of his “pre-rhorho” comments memorable, or did he post in similar fashion to the above?
He is one of the most fair minded and intelligent posters on this site. Also, I don’t think he was pro McCain, I could be wrong but I think he may have been a Hillary supporter.
Fair-minded, intelligent, and that quick to judge don’t often come in teh same package, but I suppose it’s just possible.
Oh, I think he gets a little tired of the partisan and un-funny nature of some of the lols, that’s all. He’s been since the place started so I don’t think he’s quick to judge. A lot of the earlier posters are gone now, sadly…
I always thought he was rather uptight and fussy. Intelligent, fair minded, etc etc but uptight. Like he is expecting something on an open comment area to change for the better when anybody can post here. It isn’t going to get better if you don’t make it better. Since he lacks mod powers, he won’t get what he truly wants so he will continue these drive by posts in a passive aggressive way to shame us into behaving or whatever it is he is fathoming in that head of his.
THAT’S it! That’s the “WTF?” feeling I got from his post. It’s as though he’s swooping in to tell us what bad little boys and girls we are, shame on us, etc. And what’s the point? Like we’re all going to be really sorry we don’t measure up to someone with nothing to add? (Here I go again:) WTF?
Yaaa, the irony be dripping. I remember him having a fuss over me using In Bed after comments. Told me it wasn’t funny, which was funny because a lot of regulars posted that they do in fact find it funny. If I lacked dignity, I would have marked it on my calendar.
>_>
<_<
*hides and burns my calendars*
Oddly enough, thinking on that made me feel somewhat like The Joker to Seth’s Batman. We both want truth in the world though we both have differing ideas as to what the truth really is. Now I need a story about how I got my scars…
*gives DWN a dry-erase calendar*
re You and Seth as Batman and Joker: Video or it didn’t happen.
Good, then it didn’t happen. Less evidence that way. *wicked little grin*
Partisanship? On a political discussion site?? Say it ain’t so!!
*infers with interprative dance instead*
Sadly, the last refuge of mimes gone bad..
But it’s soooo one sided all the time! Not too mention, *whispers* not that funny… *tip toes out of sight*
I thought this one was funny. I guess it’s a bit
partisan, but I think it goes more to his personality (although
I’m sure in real life there’s be a few additional words in
there, mostly brought to you by the letter ‘F’).
Only because it’s apropos of Rahm.
I’m shocked, shocked to find that partisanship is going on in here!
Not just partisanship, gambling, too. (Note the wagering
below on the gnome’s small equipment.)
The comments are always funnier than the captions!
I am shocked, appalled, content, ambiguous, aroused, depressed, elated, and stunned that partisanship is going on in a political debate. I thought it was just about sexing interns and screwing economies.
@diss: I’m *cough* not aware of a gnome *cough* wager…
Your winnings, sir.
Yoink *takes since rhorho isn’t a sir*
Sexcellent…
*wiggles fingers*
*grabs money back while DWN watches fingers*
Might work better if you wiggle something else, babe…
*wonders why Rhorho felt me up without taking the money…*
Slan has a very good point. I am a very bitter and suspicious person in regards to women. You need to wiggle more than a finger to catch me offguard.
Gah-ross!
*grabs Ajax; scrubs goo off hands*
*checks self and realizes I has no goo so…*
If I am clean and was felt up and rhorho felt somebody up and has goo. Who felt me up and who did rhorho feel up? @_@
^(DWN is clean ‘cuz I gotz all his wyrm goo during the feel-up)
*shows retrieved, gooey winnings*
(shhh–He doesn’t know I switched $1 bills for the $100 bills I took!)
*snickers*
*snickers cuz I just got ten dollars for the fake 100s that were in my pockets*
O_O
*is also shocked at rhorho’s epic ability to get every drop with just her hands during a crude feel up.*
She’s got mad skillz, yo.
In bed and apparently random groping…
I’m not sure that he’s annoyed by the “happiness” of Obama supporters as much as the obnoxious back slapping jackassery of all the leftist joiners on this site.
We know your guy won. We know we didn’t support him and you did. But guess what? You don’t know he’s going to change diddly in the long run. Democrats are just as capable of screwing over the American public as Republicans, it’s just that most of the Obama goons were in grade school or not even born yet. Clinton, Carter, I’m looking at you here.
This is how I read it: “I’m a whiner who can’t handle people poking jokes at my political party.
This is me pouting.
I’ll come back in February expecting Obama to have destroyed the nation, thus all LOLs will be directed at the Democrats. I will then be able to enjoy PK once again.”
Even then, PK wouldn’t bash Obama or the Dems. They choose the pictures that go on here, and despite what anyone might try to say, there IS a bias on this site. Not that that’s a bad or good thing, it just exists, and the reality of that fact means that even if the dems screw up, they won’t get bashed for it here.
And another non-voter heard from.
Apparently making it to the front page depends on more people who vote thinking your lol is win than fail. So instead of whinging, try making some new lols and voting.
I think you have the gist there. Pathetic, truly.
This is how I read the way you read that: “I’m super proud that I just happened to be on the winning side of this one.
This is me Gloating and doing so much to convince people that we should all get behind Obama now that he is our Pres-Elect.
I’ll be here till February, if not before, when Obama has actually been in office for more than 0 minutes and had plenty of opportunities to demonstrate to all the world that he really is just another politician.
Oh, well. We had a few laughs…
Pardon me while I rofl. *rofls*
Although I must say, judging by Obama’s cabinet picks, he intends to govern from the center. Many lefties are pissed about this; I am not. This is exactly what I’d hoped… a president for all Americans, including but not limited to the ascendant faction.
As a leftie, I am officially irritated at the pissed-off lefties. The only kind of candidate that woud make them happy could never get elected. Be happy we’re at least shifting your way, grow up and get ready to make some compromises to GET SH*T DONE!
.
ahem. Sorry, not sure where that last bit came from…
Aye. There’s no satisfying some people, and they’re only playing into the hands of the conservatives (who would enjoy nothing more than to tag this as a failed presidency before the inauguration even happens.) They’re welcome to shoot themselves in the feet all they like, but I won’t have them take the rest of us down with them. *laces up armored boots*
thats a pretty blanket statement don’t you think? certainly lots of hate and stereotypes coming from the “tolerant” left. That being said, I don’t like Obama, but lets see what he can do. I really hope he can do good, because nobody actually wants a president to fail, because he fails, and the country goes with him. Who actually wants that? (psycho liberals who hate bush and psycho neo-cons who hate obama thats who)
Sure, I should have said “some” conservatives. Still, I would like to make clear that “tolerance” does not extend to not calling bullsh*t by its name.
fair enough.
I’m actually starting to like Obama even though I didn’t vote for him. I bet he ends up more conservative than Bush (that wouldn’t be too conservatie but I’ll take it)
at the moment, I am kind of disconnected from the world. I have been buried in my room for 2 weeks studying like hell for finals. Now that my finals are done, I can get caught up on whats going on. Do you mean fiscally conservative? Or socially?
Well, I mean both, but he is pretty quiet about the socially conservative part. The reason I have my suspiscions is because of his Father’s Day speech that was very nice IMHO. He also mentioned recently that one of his priorities after the economic recovery is to balance the budget and I believe he is rethinking the windfall tax on oil companies and raising taxes in general in this economic enviroment. I don’t have sources to cite on this, but they should be easy to find.
That was actually one of my biggest concerns was his tax plan. I really think that a tax on oil companies will just get passed down to consumers, although a tax break will not. :/
Yea, I think part of the reason for rethinking the windfall tax is that the price per barrel has taken a nose dive recently giving the consumer a huge rebate.
i noticed gas has plummeted even though I don’t drive in college station.
OMG SNOW IN AGGIELAND!!!! WHOOP!!!!
Ha! We have blue skies and 70 degree weather over here!
I love Aggieland, Gig’em
Although I do hate finals…..
Rub it in ema. Rub it in.
And I just bought a new jacket… *sigh* I guess I will have to go up north to try it out.
Har de har har. Try Mt. Lemmon. Or did it all burn down again this year?
No, you know there were NO fires up there this year? Incredible. We’ve had a ton of rain lately, plus the last fire got most of the tinder I guess. I don’t go up there that much. No, I’ll just stay down here and lounge around in the sun!
For real? Is it *real* snow, or just the stuff that melts when it hits?
We have 14 inches (35.5cm for the metric folks) on the ground here in Wisconsin!
I would be willing to share! We could make snow angels and eat the leftover brownies from the flame shield party!
What a sweet offer, but *shivers* snow is too c-c-cold for me. Besides, the Conga line is going to the flame shield’s virtual beach. C’mon along!
for real snow! a few inches thick on the ground. Snowball fights between rival dorms!
Hmmmm so you want me to choose between cold snow, and a warm beach? Well that’s an easy choice…beaches have bikinis! I’m sold! *changes into trunks and grabs a towel* Race you to the tiki bar!
@Steve: *kicks up sand running*
@Matt: I heard it’s snowing in Houston, too. UNREAL!!
Ah, yes…
I remember my first beer.
*sighs; reminisces*
Not a rebate. Breathing space, yes, but not a rebate.
I have some doubts about a windfall profits tax, but OTOH I do not think we’ve seen the back side of $3 gas for good. Or even necessarily for all that long. It’s just that the rest of the world’s economy is now officially as craptacular as our own – it’s not that the dollar is stronger, it’s that everyone else has gotten just as weak and scuppered demand for the moment.
(Unpopular as it would be, I can see why some analysts think there should be a floor set on gas prices. Without the pressure of the market, there’s a danger that the effort to wean our economy off OPEC’s teat will die on the vine again, and We Can’t Have That.)
Alternatively or maybe concurrently, I’d also like to see the hitherto unregulated speculation market cracked down on severely, preferably in a way that generates revenue for the government. Ill-gotten gains FTL.
Yes to controlling the speculation market, there are those that say that the price of gas had a LOT to do with that and I tend to agree. Not sure about generating money for the government though.
You’re misusing the word ‘windfall’ in context with profits. A windfall is when you get something for not doing anything. The oil companies are providing something for the profit they are getting, thereby making it a simple profit, not a windfall profit. Also, their profit margin (IIRC) was less than 8%, so it’s not out of the ordinary anyway. I’m not sure anyone realizes how expensive producing oil really is.
Well, I didn’t invent the idea, it was seriously being considered although I’m not sure how… I’m not in favor of it.
I dont’ like it because it will artificially raise the price of gas. And I REALLY don’t like the idea of putting a tax on gas that will raise the price back to $4 a gallon and keep it there. I have no choice as to what vehicle I drive, and I’m convinced that this is a way to artificially keep the number of children I am allowed to have to a bare minimum. It’s population control and overtaxation, all in one cute little package.
Wow, you have a point there, although I don’t think it will keep everyone from having more children. Just the responsible people. I’m not in favor of increasing taxes on business at all, to many people depend on them for jobs, good and services and the burden of increase taxes will just get passed on and/or businesses will fail. But, we’ve discussed this over and over… I think Obama actually understands it, I just don’t believe he will increase taxes. I kind of think he will let the Bush tax cuts expire.
Responsible, shmesponsible, lol. I’m actually a little pissed because I have a daughter and two small step children, and I can’t afford to get the SUV I will need in order to have ANOTHER child with my husband, because they are cost prohibitive and I can’t afford $4 gas in them!
-
I’m waiting in the wings with a healthy skeptisism about what Obama is actually going to do when he takes office. He has so many spending plans in the works that he’s either going to raises taxes to the highest in history to pay for them (on both businesses and individuals), or he’s going to keep printing money until the dollar bubble bursts and it costs $15,000 to buy a candy bar because the dollar is worthless. There is no way to do what he wants to do without one of those things (or both) happening during his four years in office.
I think they’re practically giving away the big SUV’s now, but putting gas in them can be problematic. When all my kids were little, I had a bigass “classic” (in other words, freakin’ OLD) station wagon that had the third seat in the back. You could fit eight people in it with NO problem, plus it was a tank. Did suck down the gas, though; but if you or anyone in your family is good at working on older cars, might be something to consider.
Yeah you could get any old car really. Or even an older SUV, I’d recommend a Toyota because it’s a Toyota. I had one.. but that’s another story.
they aren’t, and I’m stilll stuck with what I have now until I can qualify for a loan.
Well see!? You’re a responsible person! I think you and I both know people that just keep havin’em and throwin’em in the back of the pickup truck! lol!! (Even though I think that’s illegal now…)
Anway, I don’t think Obama can keep all the promises he made and he knows that. The first thing he will have to do is get the economy back and if they have to print a bit of extra money for that, as long as it works, that won’t be a problem. If it does work then it will increase tax revenue and maybe he can balance the budget and work on some of the promises he has made. At least I believe he has a sense of what needs to be done first. Oh, I hope he can pull it off…
My money is on raising taxes. I would agree with you, froo. There’s no way to accomplish everything without requiring the citizens to cough up the cash. It may not necessarily be in the form of an income tax increase, but I would imagine that gas would be the first candidate. After that, things like inheritance tax, capital gains tax, and after all of those options have been depleted, then the income tax option will kick in.
“I’d recommend a Toyota because it’s a Toyota” – I would too, I had one and it was the best car I ever had. I have a Nissan now, its got 180k miles and still going strong. Kind of banged up though…
I have a Honda now, but Honda didn’t make SUVS back in the day. At least not good ones. I had a ‘91 4Runner.
My little brother now has my car, a 97 toyota 4runner. I love it, 20-22 MPG, and it has 230k miles on it, its a great car
Exercise caution with the Toyotas, though. Everybody knows somebody who has or had one that was just phenomenal, but I can tell you from experience that they aren’t all great. I had at least one that was a total lemon andanother one that was borderline. So definitely research the individual model & year’s reliability and get a REAL mechanic to go over it first if possible. (For any car, not just Toyotas…)
Good point.
I’m driving my third Toyota and have been totally pleased. American manufacturers need to catch up. Hopefully the conditions/regulations of the bailout will drag US auto manufacturers (kicking and screaming) into this century.
See, everyone else who drives a Toyota gets one like yours. I would think it’s just me but my boyfriend has a (currently undriveable) Camry that’s pretty bad, too. I am the odd person that never has any luck with foreign cars for some reason. I’ve had the two Toyotas, a Volkswagen (admittedly, the fact that it was a diesel may have been involved), and a Volvo, and they were all nightmares. (No kidding, the wiring harness on the Volvo actually went up in flames with no warning.)
I may just have to realize that it’s some type of personal jinx.
or bad Khar-ma?
Hahah…I see what you did thar..
*thumps Steve’s nose with little drink umbrella*
Also, we have been taken over by aliens from Planet X and Elvis was hailed God.
OMG REALLY?? DAMN MATH 141 FOR KEEPING ME OUT OF THE LOOP
Damn you math. Damn you.
I abhor math. It is the spawn of satan himself
ME TOO!!! I am so terrible at math. My dad is like, Mr. Math and he took 6 hours out of his life to teach me to factor for my pre algebra class.. in college. Then I failed alegbra.
I am in a statistics/Pre-cal course. Lucky for me my major requires only one more semester of math
I don’t have to take any more math.. Yet. Not until I go to the U of A probably and go for my Master’s or something. But I think I filled my undergrad reqs.
Sounds like your hoping for a job on Wall Street!
-
*sorry, couldn’t resist*
I was *hangs head*
clicky name
Believe it or not, I saw a lot of the same looks when I worked at NASA. How scary is that?
Eeeeeep
Eds, you worked at Mission Control??? That was my old neck of the woods! I probably flipped you off in traffic! *wishes*
Not in Tejas, I was out in California at Edwards AFB (the site of the 1st few shuttle landings).
Well, maybe I flipped you off in traffic somewhere else then… *continues wishing*
I’m no good at it, but I recognize enough to know that Math is the code in which our universe is written and compiled. I wish I understood it better, but I don’t have natural aptitude for it, and I lack the drive to acquire it.
I LOVE math!
I thought DaVinci was the code.
very true. Doesn’t mean i have to like it
I do enough math to get by in chemistry and then I just go back to my anatomy and biological sciences cave
I’m thinking that math is our best representation of what part of the “code” we can understand so far…
But we all know the bird is the word, right?
the bird is not the word. Hate to break it to you
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO oh the humanity *handstapleforehead* I’m sooooooooo gothiquely upset
*pushes a fainting couch behind Charro*
*applauds*
Good save, Jane!
See, I told you! (grins!)
Exactly. Nothing is gained by surrounding oneself with yes-men.
I wouldn’t say -nothing- was gained… there’s always infamy, and the unkind judgment of history.
…and the disrespect of the rest of the world?
…and the shame and dismay of the rational citizenry?
…and the delay of scientific discovery?
…and the deaths of thousands?
…and the ripple effect in the Middle East?
…and the quagmire in Iraq?
…and the quagmire in Afghanistan?
In bed… With no back up plan.
isn’t that an oxymoron?
)
I find a lot of things about Bush to be an oxymoron. He wants his post presidency to be based on a foundation to spread democracy and he wants to keep the academics out of it. Ya know, the same kind of people that came up with democracy. *sigh*
Oh! I meant your “In bed… With no back up plan.” comment..
OTOH, I would say you are correct. I don’t think there’s going to be a rush to have Bush do post-presidency seminars and the round of talking-head shows. I would guess most people will ignore him and hopes he fades away into obscurity.
I have my moments of clarity. I was reading the CNN bit about his plans and read about his idea for a foundation. Head shaking ensued.
Hey, the man is moving within shouting distance of my neighboorhood almost. As one person put it, we’re about to have a great big bull’s eye painted on our city. Yeah.
You should go visit with your lady in tow and ask in person why he thinks you don’t deserve equal protection under the law.
To back you up, Laura Bush is discussing writing her White House memoirs with several publishers, whereas the same publishers are indicating that George Bush’s memoirs would not likely sell now, and are indicating that he should wait a while (IIRC 6 months or so).
Huh. I’d heard 20 years or so.
No, I didn’t mean what *I* said, I was referring to what I heard on TV.
Lol! At first I thought this said “no back pain”.
Hey, but who’s counting? :p
…Quagmire is on Family Guy. Other than that, it’s a buzzword that the TV generation uses when they can’t get the instant gratification they think they’re entitled to.
PS, Rumsfeld is a moron.
Okay, so you don’t like “quagmire.” How about “hopeless tangle?” How does that grab ya?
I’m rather partial to “clusterfornication,” myself.
I was going to say that but use the naughty word myself.
Someone else used it first on here, and I liked it a lot. I hope (s)he doesn’t mind that I’m stealing it!
I know I’ve used it too, so, yeah, whoever the originator is, hope
they don’t mind. I like it a lot myself.
Yep, Charlie Foxtrot.
He can speak for himself, I’m sure.
LMAO!!
Risking my left-wing nut-job cred, I must agree. Pragmatism is the shout of the day. These are overhaul times, not tweaking times, after all.
Az peeps got represented n-e-wayz… Napolitano in the hiz-ouse!
Er.. Sorry. I think Obama is doing a good job of balancing things in his cabinet and not trying to assume all the authority all at once. I mean, you could just dive right in, but in this day and age, I would think you should feel around a bit before the dive.. and that is what he is doing. Hopefully he dives shortly after being inaugurated.
Note that says D-I-V-E-S
If I read your subtext correctly, you just alluded to my greatest fear for him. As for left-wing nutjob, I’m perfectly content being left of center on most things. I find myself becoming fiscally more conservative, although applying that to my own spending is a wee bit of a challenge (and by that I mean pretty much a no go). I’m still pretty socially liberal.
I think he’s saying “Governor Blagojevich said I was this close to being the next Illinois senator”
I was waiting for someone to bring up Blagojevich! Cannot believe how stupid some pols are. Apparently there’s something in the water at the governor’s mansion in Illinois. I’m a dem-indie and Blaggo is just an embarrassment.
If ever there were call for an Epic Facepalm, Blagojevich would be it.
Apparently it is a chronic issue of every Illinois governor, regardless of party affiliation, to do as much as they can to try to get incarcerated.
Shameful.
You’re almost right. Not just Illinois governors, Illinois POLITICS in general.
I think he would be of normal intelligence if he could get rid of his hair. It has obviously taken over.
That’s my theory, anyway.
Didn’t John Edwards have that same problem?
No, John went to Master Cuts!
Actually that is the size of his equipment!
Really? What kind of equipment is that small? Explain.
(snark & an eyeroll)
LOL! You just asked a gnome to show you small equipment…
Now taking wagers on what the gnome pulls out… my money’s on “two ball bearings and a fuse.”
*throws in $5*
I’m going for a set of “wee Bonsai garden tools.”
I’ll throw 5 on an eyeglass screwdriver from a swiss army knife corkscrew.
I got $10 on a tic tac and some aqua dots
My $5 is on a Hot Wheels bulldozer.
I looked at the picture and thought ‘a whole sack of SHH! right here’ from Austin Powers
It’s playing for the lefties too.
Personally, I don’t trust any Republi-crat…
Huh? Don’t you mean a Demo-can? I don’t think Buddy Rahm would fit into either category though. His ego is too big.
It’s over 9000!!!
And that’s just today! Who knows where it will stop?
It goes to 11!
Spinal Tap, FTW!
There’s another DBZwhatever reference to keep this going but I don’t have it in me to hunt it down.
You know what really creeps me out about this pic? He looks like Al Pacino from “The Devil’s Advocate”. Probably damn close likeness too!
yeah, Rahms one freaky SOB
Illinois governor arrested for the win!
Great. Swapping out the GOP cronies with the Dem cronies.
Yay for change.
It’s the change we can believe in!
So, sockie, how long have you been able to channel Rahm Emmanuel?
Ignoring all politics, I just have to say: NOM Emanuel.
Heh. Yes, he’s totally got the bad boy hawt, doesn’t he?
Oh. My. Yes. He does indeed has teh scaree-sexee!
His eyes are dark and slightly eeeevil looking….
But he’s the good kind of evil. Like the Punisher…muahaha
Isn’t the Punisher kind-of blatantly violent, like with mechanized weaponry? I’m thinking of Rahm’s hawt as more of a menacing, agent provocateur je ne sais quoi.
Mmmm. Yes, I think that’s about right. Not violent so much as a little aggressive; the guy that sits next to you at the formal dinner and talks to the person on his left while his right hand’s busy with you under the table.
I kinda like guys like that.

I kinda like guys like that. Oh, and I got an error message so sorry if this doubles.
I always liked guys like that too. Also,
call me nuts, but some guys just resemble penises.
Some are attractive penises, some totally not.
This one, oh my, with the “hooded lids”? Haught.
Yeah, I described him somewhere (can’t remember if it was here or elsewhere) as looking very much like he’d be that guy that you don’t even really like very much, but you know that if you run into him, next thing you know you’re going to be up against the wall in the coatroom with him with your skirt around your waist. And enjoying it immensely.
I’m afraid I would actually like him very much. Sad, since I’m such a good girl.
Yeah, I’d hit that.
RAWR ANGRY REPUBLICAN IS ANGRY!!!!11
Except…not really. Although I would be interested in seeing this man play a REAL violin. Epic win.
To be honest, knowing this man, that is probably what he was ACTUALLY saying in this picture.
