Considering that there isn’t very much Republican leadership going on right now, chances are, this pic is accurate. -_-
Nonsense! There is um… And that one… person… We can’t forget, that other… person either. Hmmm… Tons of leadership.
*channeling anti-doh*
THERE IS SARAH PALIN. YOU JUST WISH YOU WERE AS HOT AS HER. SHES SMART TO. AND WE ALL KNOW THE BLACK GUY STOLE THE ELECTION. HIS TERM IS SO OVER ALREADY YOUR JUST TO DUMB TOO KNOW IT. DEMOCRAPS ARE THE REASON THIS COUNTRY IS FALLING APART. LOOK AT THE CONGRESS SINCE 2006. WHARGARBLE.
(i have to clarify this before anyone says anything… writing that honestly hurt. i’m republican leaning but that was painful. having to intentionally mis-use words you’re/your, too/to, and spout such crap was “interesting”. ugh.)
Sometimes it has to get worse before it gets better. Think of it as therapy, dear.
retail therapy? is that what i heard?
I am fond of sexual therapy myself but whatever works.
How about having sex AND online shopping at the same time?
More like online shopping in between bouts of sexs. Both require full attention but can be done in shifts.
Shifts are the perfect outfit for shopping spree sex.
And a comfy and big chair.
I’d wager that with some ingenuity and a few spare parts one could convert one of the rolling carts for the infirm into a mobile sex chair for consenting adults, thus allowing a couple to enjoy sex and shopping concurrently
*allots government funding into this research*
Or go online shopping for sex toys. Keep your shopping topical.
Make an endurance game of molesting the other person while they try to concentrate on their shopping.
See what great ideas we come up with when we put a bipartisan effort into our problem solving sessions.
We need to get into breakout groups and report back at the end of the session.
Our group report reads “Ohmigawd, dats it, dats it, ohmigawd, dats it, faster, harder, Faster! Harder! Gimme Sum! Oh Lord! OH GAWD! OH NO!! Whew, got a light?”
I feel we’ve made a breakthrough.
Might just be a fluke. We’d better try again. ::nods scientifically::
As with all government tests, the process must be rigorous and verified multiple times with multiple variables. MOAR TESTS!
I’ll be in my ready room having Lynn make it so…
that would be saturday… when the pseudo-bf who i haven’t seen since january flies in to town
-
i know, i know… TMI. get over it. i’m excited. yes, DWN, that way too.
TMI? You do realize with whom you speak, right? No worries about TMI with me. I’m ecstatic that your weekend looks like it will be perking up for ya. Show him your political skills…
Your pseudo-bf reminds me of my colleague’s self-described “insignificant other”–27 years together & they love each other…but can’t live in the same house.
I can’t recall where I heard it but I remember a story about a couple who had completely different styles of living and thus would have killed each other to live together. Their solution was to buy apartment space side by side and then connect them so each had their own space but could be together as they saw fit.
It was Kathryn Hepburn and they guy from Casablanca—”a husband should live nearby and visit often”..if it weren’t for her love of John Wayne she woudl be my ideal to aspire to- as it is, I still aspire to be her in many ways…
Thanks for the info.
Kathryn Hepburn’s squeeze was Spencer Tracy, not Duke or “the guy from Casablanca” (Bogart).
Truman Capote and his long-time companion had houses side-by-side. Always thought that was a brilliant idea. Wish I could get my husband to move next door…
I was envisioning Spencer Tracy and thinking Casablanca- My brain is tired, but you are 100% correct—I could not recall his name. I was not trying to say Hepburn was partnered or romantically “in love” with John Wayne- just that she adored him, and I think he is a treasonous draft dodging misogynistic jerk (I am in the minority- I know). And yes, I have seen every_single_one of his films- trust me, it was all we watched growing up can only name a few now though—I have been in therapy a long time and it has helped.
I can imagine the Duke-o-vision 24/7 as a kid would make anybody need therapy. You have my sympathy.
weekend, pssssssh. we’re taking a weeks vacation to florida.
-
and our situation is weird. we see each other for about a week every 4 months because i have a set job and he used to have a travel based job bu due to the economy he was laid off. as such he had to move back to his home town in virginia… he’s looking for a job where i live so we can move in together but no one is hiring. :-/
That sucks, I hope he finds something soon!
thanks jaaaaaaaane!
I second Jane on the suckitude and the well wishes.
thanks dwn.
Oh *that’s* why the tos is extra sparkly today.
No, no… TMI is when you post videos.
XD
Says you.
Although I guess it depends on the videos. :-\
if any of those end up surfacing here, i demand royalties.
Well duh, it would be stupid as a producer to not pay the people in the film.
Ummm sure. Get me some shoes while you’re out, k?
that was a bad suggestion. i already own 100 pairs. *hangs head in shame for being a materialistic shoe-wh0re*
Your materialism is forgiven on account of you possessing high levels of awesome and hugs.
(and large boobs)
Like he said, “high levels of awesome.”
win.
Precisely Eric, thank you.
*huggles Shortright*
Nice satire of a someone mocking republican.
What else is new, come here often?
Now to be fair, that’s just how we mock Republican trolls. Republicans who are good decent human being who don’t come in here just to sling vicious insults at the Democratic party or other liberal minded people are treated just fine.
lemme buy you a clue…
You had me going for a minute there, Mr. Wharrgarbl.
mr?! what is this nonsense? i am the proud owner of two tits and a ham wallet.
I’ll have to admit, that’s the first time I’ve heard the phrase “ham wallet.”
feel free to use it in the future. i find it’s a rather apt description…
And I’m suddenly hungry for a ham samich.
Better than a roast beef sandwich in this case. Yikes.
Good cap, steaming pile! Although, I am a bit disappointed at the thread. I saw there were around 156 comments and most of them have been about shopping and sex. I was hoping for some good hard solid pounding discussion of politics.
Really.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is nothing but a thinly veiled euphemism for shopping isn’t it , LG?
……what? Euphemism? Uh…. Sure! Shopping it is!
It’s a form of DoS attack, where you drown out more relevant discussion with silly nonsense. It basically means I won the debate.
you need to come around here more often. about every 10th LOL there’s a real political debate. everything else is people bs-ing online.
-
if you’re seeking legit political debate. i suggest you find a new website ASAP.
I’ve seen the same sort of thing go on at Huffington Post and any other site that tolerates trolls, so it’s not just PK/ICHC.
We were debating?!
I hate it when a debate sneaks up on you when you’re not looking…
Me too, I was just dicking about from the start and now the LolAuthor is talking about winning the debate… Me thinks I missed a memo.
*searches the press office*
it ain’t here.
Very well, tassle time in my office in five minutes…
lemme go get the 6″ lucite heels. then we’ll be all set!
I love dedication to the job.
*ahem*
Ladies and Gentlemen of the press and my fellow Americans. In his infinite wisdom and benevolence, President Nexus has declared tassle time for the next two hours. You’re welcome.
And the Prezzie Nexus saw this and it was beautiful… T_T *tears of joy*
I was debating. I’m a master debater.
OK, I love puns, so why did it take me 5 readings to catch this one? Which is wonder-groan-ful!
The joke is on him, women prefer a cunning linquist.
I’m that too. Heh.
his name is rush *shudder*
And yet another Liberal to fall for it. Geez.
HA!
I guess you forgot about Republican Ron Paul’s movements to audit the Federal Reserve and legalize commercial hemp – I’d call those fresh ideas…
ron paul isn’t a republican… you better be careful or you’ll get hit with a suit for libel for defaming such a great man…
Heheh, depends who you ask. I always thought he was dennis kusinage’s Opposite-universe twin. (Yes its a star trek reference, and no I’m not saying which one came from the evil universe.)
dennis WHO!? i know of a dennis kucinich. better known as dennis the menace for completely bankrupting the city of cleveland, having a wickedly terrible hairpiece and being about 4′ tall. but, i’m sure that’s not who you meant because you obviously are completely versed in political figures so there must be another political figure who is named dennis kusinage.
But he’s got a hot wife the size of a California sequoia so it makes it all okay.
Ron Paul’s a Republican, I’m Eliza Dushku’s underpants.
Lucky bastard.
You can almost hear them singing…”Momma…just killed a man…”
Alternate caption win?
pulled the trigger now he’s dead…
(not sure of the exact words)
Mama, life had just begun, but now I’ve gone and thrown it all away…
Mama, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
Didn’t mean to make you cry…..sometimes wish I’d never been born at all…….
Story of my life…
Combo breaker, get thee hence!
Aw, come on now! You’re ruining the song! *pouts*
-
I’m sure Beelzebub has a devil put aside for you, too, dammit!
Wouldn’t be surprised.
Correct caption is “Republican leadership pointing out Obama’s leadership skills, proving once again, ‘if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all’.”
And already, the political crap floats to the surface.
Seriously, the guy’s been in office 3 months. Nobody knows what his leadership is going to be like, because no President gets anything done in their first 6 months or so.
I mean, Bush immediately took a vacation. 2.75 total years of vacation, in fact… and yet the ultracons said nothing about *him* not doing anything.
Working vacations are not vacations. Geez.
Not to start a huge argument, I am simply asking because I don’t know. What did he do over those working vacations?
USA Today article from 2001, but I’m still searching. It’s hard to find actual news stories in amongst the hatred from those who hate Bush.
No worries, not in the mood to fight either way. I just know you have said that more than once and I figure if I am going to back you as a friend, I need to know what I am talking about.
Here’s another article from someone who doesn’t care much for Bush *rolls eyes*
-
The first page is about the vacations, but the next 4 go into other parts of the presidency.
-
And no worries about fighting. I’m too tired today. The baby was up at 7:30 after sleeping through the night (she usually wakes at 2:30 when we go get her, stays up until about 4, then sleeps until noon), so I’m worn out.
Thankies, love. Can’t say I am impressed still because it sounds like a lot of half working but I do see where he was handling a lot of work from home.
Orion did something similar last night. Went to bed early and then woke up around 6:30…
All presidents take vacations, and all presidents work on said vacations. I won’t fault Clinton for using opinions polls to decide where to vacation if you won’t fault Bush for wanting to spend time at the laid back ranch instead of the stodgy ol’ White House
Fair enough though I don’t care if you fault Clinton.
I didn’t like Clinton, but I will give the man his props for being one of the most brilliant speakers I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. That ma could sell ice water to drowning Eskimos at 4 times the normal price, and as the Eskimo goes under for the third time, he would be thanking Clinton for the water.
That he certainly could. Wow, my body is sleepy. Had some chicken today that Lynn bake/fried last night… /random tangent.
Z_Z
Sorry about that, DWN. Lynn and I had
some confusion over “teaspoon” and
“tablespoon,” but it’s worked out now. You
won’t get so sleepy next time…
@_@!!!!
Yeah for babies sleeping until 7:30! Congrats Froo! Too bad we wake up to obsess over why they’re NOT waking once they’ve slept past their normal waking hour. Ah, Motherhood.
No no, you misunderstand……7:30 am for me is like 11pm for most other people. If that child doesn’t sleep past 11AM for me, there is something wrong
I am a child of the night, I am not supposed to be up at 7:30!
-
Now, most of the time she wakes up around 9 AM, grabs her bottle or sippie cup which has been strategically placed in her playpen with her, drinks it down, and goes back to sleep until noon or so. It’s a good deal
1) Already the political crap? WTF did you even look at the lol?
2) Right, so the stimulus, et al were nothing, right?
3) Presidents don’t take ‘vacations’ like you and I. They are ALWAYS working.
So more of the political crap floats to the surface!. . . waitaminute. . .
isn’t this pretty much just a place for political humor, political discussion and such. . .hmmm. . . carry on. Bush is a dummy. Obama’s a Muslim with big ears, . Discuss.
I think they’re talking about all the cooperation Obama got from European visit. Maybe 5k more soldiers for Afghanistan. Might as well have been a vacation.
You forgot Poland!
Maybe if more Republicans followed that sage advice, they wouldn’t sound so much like idiots.
That anything like Obama vowing to change the way the government works and not allowing pork barrelling in bills? Was there around 200 in his first bill? The change is too drastic! Slow down!
Congress writes bills, not the President. Didn’t you ever watch School House Rock?
I am guessing you don’t understand the whole “veto” power the President has?
“I’m just a Bill…
And I’m sittin’
on Captiol Hill…”
*Capitol
*or is it Capital
*grunts in frustration for missing that day of school..
I loved Schoolhouse rock! My US history teacher in HS thought he would torture us with having to memorize the preamble to the constitution–and we all sang it for him in chorus! Tee hee!
So your complaint is that he had 200 earmarks in his bill just like all the other bills that have ever been passed…
-
Why is that the Republicans didn’t do away with earmarks before Obama even took office?
-
You’re blaming a zebra for having stripes I’m afraid.
It was a SPENDING bill! It’s not pork if its supposed to be in the bill because it’s the point of the bill.
What do you mean, “leadership”?
The Liberals are taking over everywhere.
*twirls his villian mustache*
Mwahahahahaaa!! Our plan it working perfectly! *wrings hands menacingly*
Because progressivism wasn’t invented in the late 1800’s — and tried by a whole bunch of Presidents (Wilson, Roosevelt, Hoover, Roosevelt, etc.) for the first half of the 20th Century — only to be repackaged 100 or so years later by Obama as the wave of the future?
Fresh.
Well that is about 90% true but there are updates to it such as “going green,” and updating power grids. I find the short term memory, regarding Progressivism, annoying but I’m glad to see it back.
The sad thing is, there’s no need to even bring the Republicans into it. The Joe Biden-level geniuses at HUD can stand all on their own.
Funny stuff!
No, no, no, they have ideas, I heard ‘em. “Lower taxes on the wealthy” “Privatize Social Security” “Replace hard working Americans of European Descent with foreign workers” “Stop the workers from unionizing at all costs”. Cheez, what more do you want to hear? :^)
But those aren’t “fresh” or “new” ideas. They’ve been warmed over for about the twentieth time or so.
If anyone has seen ‘Step Brothers’ you’ll probably agree with me. Open mouth guy totallylookslike the guy in that movie that keeps screaming *PAH!*
Yes, because lowering taxes is a terrible idea. Half the fun of these pics is that the people that post them have absolutely no idea what is going on in washington / the world.
Lowering taxes is awesome, just not when the decrease only applies to the wealthiest Americans.
Yes, especially after the previous President sent us into the worst deficit in history (which is still spiraling downward) within his first term.
tsk tsk tsk. The wealthiest Americans do not pay taxes. We (the not wealthiest Americans) pay taxes and the wealthy pass their taxes on to us in the form of higher priced goods and services. ipso facto, reduced taxes for the wealthiest Americans is a reduction in taxes for all Americans. If you’re going to engage in class warfare, you really should understand who your enemy is.
Lowering taxes in the middle of a war IS a terrible idea. So is lowering taxes when we’re awash in debt due to that war y’all started on credit, and when we have no choice but to spend more through the government because private sector funding of the economy is in lockdown and there’s no other way to get business flowing again.
And in case you’ve forgotten – which you clearly have – the big scary tax hike Obama’s proposing will still leave the top marginal rate TEN points lower than it was for most of the REAGAN administration! How apocalyptic, only…not.
Teabag that for a while. :^) <===3
what is apocalyptic is that california now has a sales tax over 8%… and we still are at a budget deficit…
.
raising or lowering taxes might or might not be right, but spending money when you have none is definitely wrong.
Try 9.75% and we’re still fvcked, where I am. *snarls* *thinks about kicking all local government officials*
chicago??
Memphis. We are sooooo fvcked here. I’m not even kidding. (I don’t know what the taxes are in Chicago, but at least they have a public transit system that works.)
yeah… LA county is now at 9.75 too… it’s frickin ridiculous…
Wow! And they call my state Taxachusetts? Obviously, they have
no clue! I’ll admit I hadn’t known sales taxes had gotten that bad, anywhere!
i got mad when my county went from 7 to 7.75… i’m just gonna shut up now. i have a friend in chi-town and it’s either 9.75 or 10 there. i don’t buy anything when i go visit.
They have all kinds of ways they get you, too…they imposed an extra $50 “temporary” local city tax on car registrations, supposedly for the purpose of paying to air condition the schools (a valid goal here, I can tell you…). The schools, however, have been a/c’d for some time now… they passed that tax about 20 years ago. Temporary my ass. Oh, and we have sales tax on groceries, too, which I understand a lot of states don’t. But we don’t have a state income tax (except on investment income above a certain level) so I
guess it evens out some. It evens out in a very regressive way, but whatever.
If the government fails to stimulate the economy, people won’t buy products/pay for services, business will go bankrupt and default on their loans, people will lose jobs, and banks will go under.
If people don’t spend money, the economic wheels grind to a halt. Is that how you see recovery? History has proven otherwise.
As a newer transplant, I think I see a pattern that explains this issue- correct me if I am wrong here: Group 1: we want progressive, liberal govt, and that means providing MANY services and programs. They get there propositions passed. Groups 2: We do not want to pay any taxes, and they get there propositions passed. They both get there propositions passed by a small swing group in the middle who is too stupid to realize that services and programs COST MONEY. So here is my solution- all propositions that are related to services or programs (or ANYTHING that costs money), MUST have an attachment to pay for it- so if you want to give schools funding, you have to say “by increases sales tax by 1%” or whatever—cannot pass BOTH. And vice-versa, if you want to cut taxes, you have to say what exactly you would cut in services and programs- then pp will be voting on BOTH sides of the equation. You cannot have your cake, eat it, and pretend that the credit card you put it on never has to be paid.
That makes too much sense. Neither Congress nor the voting public would ever go for it.
But as long as we’re fantasizing, the bill should ALSO have to state whose votes it’s meant to buy. Because that is the real purpose of 99% all legislation.
It’s called Pay As You Go. It gets lip service around election time, but then some exigency always comes up and the principle gets cast aside.
You’d think that the fuktards in Washington (and Sacramento) had used a credit card before. Jeesh!
I would like to point out, that I am not actually blaming the legislature for this- rather the small percentage of voters in CA that vote for the massive number of propositions they have here every year. The legislature is truly bizarre as well- but the population must take SOME responsibility for the votes they directly made…
You have no clue whatsoever how the economy works.
Until you put your alternative ideas out for examination, you are just another vacuous troll, so let’s hear them. Or is your head as empty as your republican overlords’?
Well that was a valid and rousing counter point. Please, tell me more.
*awaits with bated breath*
*wonders why one needs to bate breath anyway*
*wonders further if it’s baited breath or bated breath*
*wonders if baited breath smells like fish*
*forgets what she’s waiting for and wanders off*
Oh well, guess it wasn’t that important…
THERE IS NO ECONOMY!
It’s just an idea…based on faith that the United States will continue to exist. Every day you trade worthless pieces of green paper for goods and services, simply because of FAITH.
Nobody has a clue how the economy just works, but they need to be re-assured that it DOES work.
Because raising taxes is working so well for CA. How about this, you pay my taxes since you think it is a good idea.
Are you clearing a quarter million a year?
Because if you’re not, your taxes are going DOWN under this administration. Do you really want to protest that?
You missed your chance, Slan! You should have made a deal to
offer him the money difference in taxes between this go-round
and next, with the stipulation that he has to pay the difference
if they decrease…
Lowering taxes is a great idea.
Unfortunately it can’t be the ONLY idea!
recipe for a republican idea:
-take a democratic idea
-call it silly, nonsense, whatever
-let it become concrete (law, amendment, etc.)
-store it for at last a decade
-wait until democrats get a newer idea vonverning the same topic
Et voilà, republican idea, ready to serve!
i didn’t think there was any difference between a dem idea and a repub idea… both smell like sh!t and screw over the common man… so… what was your point again?
The one screwed onto their head?
i believe that is called a lightning rod.
or…
the mythical divining scepter used for communicating with the immortals…
Pfft, I never get their calls. Jerks.
Algorithm for Democrats:
10 Find taxpayer.
20 Rape taxpayer in the ass until they die from blood loss.
30 Goto 10
Algorithm for Democratic voters:
10 Pretend that Democrats are perfect angels who can do no wrong.
20 Pretend that Giganto-government will be infallable and super effective and efficient if juuuuuust the right person gets in charge.
30 Die in ignorance.
Step 30 cannot happen soon enough in that second algorithm.
That’s not really an algorithm. More like a clusterf*ck of pure ignorance and stupid.
Dear Republicans, this anal fungus is a big reason why your political party has such a bad name right now. Just a warning.
We know this. We can’t get the stupids to shut up.
What the Republican party needs is more party leaders standing up and saying, “You know these idiots who make you all hate us? We hate them too. That’s not how we roll.” That would probably do wonders for the party’s recent rep.
That, and a well-defined platform that isn’t Democrat Diet Coke. Just one calorie, not Republican enough.
Well, that party is really lacking in leadership, much like the Democrats were earlier this decade. I mean, John Kerry was the best we could do in ‘04? A good deal of us voted for Kerry thinking “not Bush” and that was about it. I’m sure it’ll rally again. Both parties go through droughts like this.
I can speak for most of the Republican party when I say, the only reason that ost of us voted McCain was because he was the “Not Obama”. I dont’ like being in that position, I dont’ want to be in that position again. I refuse to compromise my beliefs anymore for a damn political candidate. I’m voting third party next time if the Republicans can’t get their collective heads out of their collective asses and actually get a good person with morals and a stance he believes in to run for office.
And THERE’s the political discussion I thought I’d see!
Eh. Let’s go back to talking about shopping and sex.
BTW, Eric, why does your avatar keep changing?
Because I changed the e-mail I use to post here with, but my browser keeps putting in the old one and if I forgot to change it back, it puts in my old avatar.
Ah. I thought maybe you were having an identity crisis. I was going to suggest buying a red corvette.
Sometimes you feel like a silly blue pattern, sometimes you feel like Lego Indiana Jones.
*psssst* I think your pattern is pink.
Really? Oh well, I’m colorblind anyway.
But it was a ‘manly’ pink!
“It’s not pink. It’s lightish red.”
“They already have a name for lightish red. It’s called PINK!”
–Red Vs. Blue
John McCain — the least repulsive democrat running.
-
Can’t remember where I saw that, so can’t cite it.
“John McCain: Because We Can’t Talk Anyone Else Into Running”
-
“John McCain: This Is The Best We Can Do, We Swear!”
-
“John McCain: Because You Know You Don’t Want An Actual Republican Running”
-
“John McCain: Because Otherwise, His Creepy Wife Will Eat Your Soul”
I must not get out enough – I had never heard any of those! Had a big old laugh, thanks froo.
Those are actually homemade campaign slogans that I used all last year, hehe. Glad you enjoyed them!
*coming REALLY late to the discussion*
-
i actually wanted to vote mccain in the beginning. i wasn’t in it for the “not obama” or “not hillary” factor. but when he chose palin, he started to lose me… and then when he started saying all sorts of things that were fundamentally different from everything else he’d said (when it was obvious he wasn’t running his campaign anymore and he was just doing what the far right wing nut jobs wanted him to do) i started to feel a lot more wary about voting for him. in the end, i still voted for him (and crossed my fingers he wouldn’t croak and we’d get stuck with palin) but my vote wasn’t a “i freaking love mccain” it was “ugh, i really don’t like obama”.
And do you both come in a package deal?
I mean… Wait what?
i think you’re older… so that would make me your evil little sister.
Lol, absolutely!
Or stop posting drunk, apparently.
I thought it was pretty funny. I actually LOL’ed. A real LOL.
I fav’d when I first saw it in Upcoming.
While Comrade Obama gets all of his ideas from a copy of the Communist Manifesto.
Hey, what you got against communism?
::ducks and runs::
Da Comrade! Ve love de Comrade Obama! Come, let me nourish you wiv da People’s Breasts. You like!
*smothers Exile*
Is very nice, yes?
Communism is aaaaaaawwwwwessssooooommmmeee.
And I look good in Red…
In bed…
With Fred?
That’s what she said…
Tell me, which ideas (be specific) promoted by President Obama were inspired by Marx? None of you right-wing dunderheads have been able to point to a single thing so far.
u suck balls
Malted milk balls to be exact. I’m not a fan, but many people are. Enjoy!
Chocolate salty balls?
Schwetty salty balls? SNL ref?
I think chocolate salty balls is a South Park ref, but I get the SNL ref too.
So I guess that means you’ll be at the teabagging protests today, hmm?
Good one, Slan!
Spoken like a true tolerant, reality-based liberal.
I thought it was funny, and I’m not a “liberal”. I find the term “teabagging” in conjunction with a political protest hilarious.
Just another form of the infamous tea party…
+
:LOL:
What, I’m supposed to give more credit than that to a commenter whose idea of reasoned discourse is “u suck balls”? One of us is based in reality, pardner, and I don’t think it’s you.
Slan you’re so intolerant of people’s beliefs! How dare you be so mean to someone who believes a collective group of strangers on the internet are all sucking balls? I thought I knew you!!!!!
Does this mean that blowjob later is called off?
Well, how can I be sure about you if you disapprove of ball sucking? I mean, it was on the agenda and now I find out about this side of you?!
Tis okay, he isn’t part of the cabinet anyway.
*puts away the special blue and red boobie tassles that were out so i could give slan a show*
Tassles? There was going to be tassles?? Awww….
I’m just saying that if Slan doesn’t want his balls sucked then boobie tassles aren’t going to help either.
Now, let’s not get all radical here! I don’t want the troll with the epileptic typing his screen name anywhere near my balls…but Jane, darling, we’ve been introduced…
Would you respect me in the morning?
Pfft, he can’t even produce this epileptic he is discussing so much. Besides, he didn’t respect you enough to not make the comment in the first place.
Are you saying I should save ball sucking for those that deserve it?
I gotta look out for my press secretary, ya know.
And that’s a yes, of course.
The slanders that I must endure simply because I have a full time job that doesn’t let me cop time on PK whenever I want it.
Cruel, I tell you. Shameful.
Worthy of impeachment.
*sighs and sets up bribes to bring Slan on as consultant for image and harem hiring*
Happy?
yep, they were bipartisan tassles too. slan ruined the fun for all.
*pouts*
We want tassles! We want tassles!
As opposed to socialism which has never been tried and will definitely work.
Yet, semi-valid point. The Republicans are now what the Democrats used to be.
Exactly! They want more spending now!
In CA, they helped vote in new taxes. Now they want a tax extension/ fraud bill to pass… They are all liars! I just hope someday people will wake up and start harassing them …
oh yers, and ‘Bama wants amnesty for illegals! weeee for more original, bad ideas!
Strawman award.
You people discovered that “liberal” wasn’t working anymore, so you decided to give “socialist” a shot. It’s not going to work either.

OH BOO. I put in “Insert random WARGARBL,” but it was within the triangle brackets, so the site recognized it as an attempt at coding and took it out. BAH.
FIRST! Wait, damn….
Must agree with the captions.
Reminds me of the pigeons in Pratchett’s Discworld series. Anytime they have a deep thought, it’s “00000″. If they’re surprised or scared, it’s “00000!”
This puts the ‘pubs a notch below the pigeons.
Sounds about right.
Well better than Hey GUYZ let’s spend billions of dollars we don’t have!!! That’s a great idea.
But enough about the occupation of Iraq.
Zing!
*leg-humps the blonde*
But the dividends in global goodwill more than make up for it. And they’re moving towards democracy so swiftly
This probably could have been expanded to “Congress discusses their fresh, new ideas”
Don’t shortchange yourselves now.
Oh, but they do have a fresh new idea. They’re going to save the economy by cutting taxes and government regulation, and by eliminating government waste.
Imagine having to keep a straight face while saying that.
But wait! There is the brilliant and intelligent rhetoric of Rush Limbaugh to see them through!!
Yes, because angry ignorant mobs are the best basis on which to build a civilization.
Sorry, but this is really stupid. As Dims discuss fresh new ideas for massive spending, socialization and violation of the constitution and basic human rights, it would actually be nice if either party decided to STOP fecking with things and go back to what the country was actually founded on. A limited constitutional government would be a real fresh, new change – a change we could actually believe in.
I know that you are a troll, but you are the *cutest* little dickens!! Your oojy-boojy anti-Democratic screed backed up with the no facts, your cutesy-ootsey assertion that YOU know just “what the country was actually founded on,” without any explanation, your snoogy-woogy calling for “a limited constitutional government,” without any understanding of how, guess what, a country actually *changes*…oooh, you’re just the sweetest little bundle of empty talking points I ever done seen! Give your Ayn Rand talking dolly a hug for me!
Oh, but Anniee is in MENSA, see, and she’s an Economist, so she knows what she’s talking about! And because she’s so smart and educated and whatever else, she doesn’t have to present facts, cites, or anything but her opinion!! Yay!
yes…because the democrats are coming up with such great ideas /cue eyeroll.
i’m sorry, but i don’t know if you guys should really be saying that about the REAL republican leadership (ie, the people who hosted all the tea parties last night an NO NOT FOX NEWS) and the people who actually want to keep their hard earned money.
Grow up and open your eyes, kiddo. The people who hosted and sponsored and promoted the tea parties last night were Dick Armey and the usual cadre of Republican billionaires, with help from Nick Cavuto and Fox News. The mega-millionaires once again played the populists like a fiddle, convincing people who have had their taxes LOWERED by Obama’s proposals to protest the millionaires’ higher taxes.
A majority of the American people realized the usual suspects were putting yet another fraud over on them last fall – eventually, maybe, the ones who are still being played will wake up.
I would warn you that you are talking to a box of rocks but I find the ballet amusing, so carry on. These are the geniuses that state the toughness of Texas while talking about cutting and running. The lack of forward thinking is just astounding because they soak up Federal money for hurricanes, border patroling, etc.
So when these geniuses finally decide to run like the cretinous cowards they are, do they plan to pay all that money back and what will they do when they get hit with another disaster they can’t afford to handle?\
Unfortunately, the lack of thinking on their part and apparent lack of memory just leaves me with the conclusion that you are talking to a box of rocks. Idiots whining because they got a tax break.
That was way more rant-y and disjointed than I liked. Apologies to the readers.
It would amuse me no end to see Texas actually pass a secession resolution and Washington just say “OK, vaya con dios.” See how long they last.
You and me both, brother. You and me both.
Probably longer than you think we would. We have a lot of natural resources at our disposal, lots of coastline, and ports that the rest of the country depends on a bit for THEIR imported goods. Texas is one of the few states I think could probably get away with seceding.
but you have to keep the entire bush clan, and if cheney ever comes to visit, we’ll revoke his visa so he can’t get back in… so you’ll be stuck with him too
We can always put them to work in a cow field in Mexia
The tea parties weren’t just about tax increases.
-
Also, I believe that George Soros and MoveOn.org, along with lots of other mega Liberal groups protest all the time. What’s wrong with it when the Conservatives actually gather, regardless of who finances it?
-
Also, a $13 tax rebate isn’t a tax cut.
Um, yeah. The tea parties were about tax increases – nonexistent ones for the most part. The other causes represented were splinter groups capitalizing on the publicity. And what’s wrong with it is you had corporate conservative megamoney masquerading as a “grassroots” movement based on a total falsehood, and Faux News pretending to be covering it instead of promoting it, which they were blatantly doing.
As for the “$13 rebate,” that’s more casual misrepresentation from the morally and intellectually bankrupt GOP money machine. What you’re seeing is $13 withholding a week. Not a rebate – a reduction in withholding, representing a concomitant reduction in the tax obligation at the end of the year.
You do realize that taxes are increasing in more ways than just income?
What annoyed me the most was that no one seemed to know what they were protesting. Every time the interviewed someone they said something different and you were lucky if it was coherent. Also, nice symbolism and all, but did NO ONE bother to google teabagging before they went ahead with it? My favorite part of the news coverage was Anderson Cooper stating, “It’s hard to talk when you’re teabagging”
There are several definitions of teabagging, not just the most famous one
I know that! I’m just saying if you want legitimacy in your protest…
LOL, I agree. The Republicans as a whole can’t exactly claim pop culture knowledge though.
-
BTW, for those interested, a link to the Urban Dictionary.
On the other hand, from a liberal standpoint the puns just wrote themselves!
I got a bit of a giggle every time.
My favorite was when Ana Marie Cox described the
“split” in the teabag…
Nice!
And then they went straight from teabagging to 2M4M.
I’m sensing a theme here. Schmitt addressing the Log Cabin Republicans this week wasn’t a coincidence, was it?
um, do the research slant. all of the tea parties were grassroots. you must watch too much msnbc.
I love how no matter what, democrats are right, they can never do a darn wrong thing and all their ideas are great. However, as soon as they get a chance, they have to bash Republicans no matter what to make themselves feel better. I have some captioning to do…
I love how people are saying all republicans are rich and democrats are poor when it’s the other way around,republicans where the rich ones years ago before the parties “switched” so in say 1920 democrats where like the republicans of today. And people are saying how it’s the republicans that are making up the tax thing…2 words. Jimmy. Carter.
if not tripling the deficit in the first 100 days is an empty idea, i’d rather have that. call me crazy…
Ooh, I know! Let’s pass a non-binding resolution that says we hate Obama. After all, that’s all the democrats came up with the entire time George Bush was in office.
