cf said...: I just got an email that claims it is from "Barack Obama", may be my first! Why now? doesn't someone read my Althouse comments?

Anyway, the subject was "I Need You" -- a red Peony kind of plea, no? -- and he wrote me personally to ask for a $3 donation to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee because those no-good Republicans are keeping us from installing our entire agenda.

Ugh. really, it was written for dull-eyed simpleton readers, what list did I get on?!!!

My heart has snapped shut now, these liars and thugs have got to get thrown out by the nation, especially Good Democrats. What a bunch of stinking corrupt pod people the Democratic Party leadership has metastasized into. Worst expression of party leadership in our lifetime. Skeletal Pelosi and Reid, so last century really, coercive and veiled. Ugh.

So my question: what donate-to-non-profit tax structure is this DSCC.org listed under with the IRS? Who are its biggest backers?

Please, baby, please, just one more chance.

The world is full of 'em.

Synova said...: Oh no, MM. I hope she makes it in time and that your brother can be as comfortable as possible.; 5/30/13, 5:53 PM

I know what you mean. when The Blonde's mom was dying, her oldest grandson had to come from Mexico.

He did make it.

Just.

Good luck.

The actual railroad caboose on a bit of actual railroad track in their backyard is not listed, as far as I know.; 5/30/13, 6:24 PM

For the lack of irony, which in this day and age is itself ironic.; 5/30/13, 11:16 PM

Guildofcannonballs said...: Why don't artists yelling "fire" get arrested during a show if there is no fire?

You people think artists are better than me?; 5/30/13, 11:19 PM

Guildofcannonballs said...: Until those who can do in fact decide "fuck the weather isn't that bad" in other locales, we perish under locale-envy which results in California.

Chicago's weather is great too which is why it is a world-class city.

Detroit's weather sucks.; 5/30/13, 11:24 PM
Guildofcannonballs said...: That asshole Charlie Daniels spoke of "fire" in a loud voice in theaters that certainly weren't empty.

No justice no peace.

Injustice anywhere, threat to it everywhere.; 5/30/13, 11:28 PM
Unknown said...: So sorry MadisonMan. All the best and I hope she makes it in time.; 5/30/13, 11:34 PM
Guildofcannonballs said...: Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.

When the most morbidly obese liberals proclaim words, they mean ecumenical positivism regardless of their words (these are genius wordartists many cannot comprehend simply). When other than libs proclaim the same: Hitler-based.

The most disgustingly obese can proclaim their love of conservation of the planet without a critical word spoken by their teammates and commrades-in-arms.

The fact I see this, have seen it, and will continue to see it again, makes my not capitalizing on the obesity unAmerican of me.; 5/30/13, 11:39 PM
Guildofcannonballs said...: "...then you're up shit creek."

WHACK!

"Oh Christ Jake c'mon..."

WHACK!

Guildofcannonballs said...: Is a picture worth 1000 words?

Is that what a modern (modern here being defined as after the idiom "never judge a book..." came into the parlance of those times) book cover is worth, in terms of words located inside that precise book itself?

This is all very new and interesting, these graphs of photos.; 5/31/13, 12:03 AM
Eric the Fruit Bat said...: There's a movie out where Tom Cruise plays a character named "Jack Reacher."

What the fuck were they thinking?; 5/31/13, 8:46 AM
