Peyton Manning is cordial. Marshawn Lynch doesn’t like speaking to the media much. Obama likes to hear himself talk and believes that we should be compelled to listen — and if not listen, to do as he says anyway. The GOP will respond by assuring us that they too care. As if that’s something anyone anywhere gives two shits about.
There. My job as CITIZEN JOURNALIST is done.
They just made the best of things. One of the least appreciated benefits of localized, individualized solutions is that they mitigate the control lag effect. There is less likelihood of one set of people living in the remembered “best of times” while another live in the actual “worst of times”. But I doubt that many pundits will see it that way. For them it will be a case of class warfare as usual. The term itself is redolent of 19th century connotations. But then, while we live in the 21st century, the great majority of our political and intellectual leaders still live in a mental world some hundreds of years old.

I’d listen to SOTU but I can’t find a translator fluent in bullshit.
– Bumblefuck claims “we” support his shit, so that makes it settled science for the braindead Progressives. 38% approval and dropping by the week – yeah they’re not too good at math.

“The average Haitian and Bangladeshi today have more schooling than the average Frenchman or Italian in 1960.” But, like many of our own elites, they’re more credentialed than educated. And there’s evidence that the same factors are involved.
And so it goes … French Republicans surrender, again (remember when they said this is where they would stand and fight?)
Reid’s biggest SOTU fear? Falling asleep.
john effin”kerry leads the circus tonite
Ach! The schmaltz! He lies!!
The idiot is still campaigning. That’s all the idiot can do. Tell us his failures are awesome and he plans to do good stuff…and anyone who doesn’t like his plans doesn’t want good stuff and wants to keep other people from enjoying the good stuff. Year effing 6 and he’s still campaigning.
You should elect me because I want…
WE DID ELECT YOU AIR-HEAD ASSHOLE! TWICE! THIS IS YOUR MESS YOU ARE TRYING TO SIMULTANEOUSLY PASS OFF AS A SUCCESS AND A PROBLEM THAT WE NEED YOUR HELP TO FIX!
Well…you’re a racist. Also fuck congress. I’m gonna do what I want.
Zero seems to think if he speaks at mach 2 it’ll be a game changing speech.
Natural gas good stuff, but don’t wanna export it. Nope hate to improve our trade deficit.
Solar power investment = money drain and crony scheme mechanism.
Oh yeah. Obama save Ford. Sure.
Detroit just went broke clown.
Imigration reform: it’s time to refill the democratic coffers with some voters naiive to the effects of obamacare.
Reforming unemploying insurance, BUT FIRST, EXTEND IT!
Reform = make permanent
Simple equation people.
“Solar power investment = money drain and crony scheme mechanism.”
Yeah. Materials science just isn’t there yet. And the whole idea of stirling engines in the focus of parabolic collectors that rotate to face the sun is a HUGE infrastructure project that we frankly can’t afford to do as one huge monolithic project. And nobody wants to support a gradual growth version of that. So yeah, solar and wind are a joke as anything but supplemental sources.

What does zero know about jobs? ANY JOBS?
Equal pay!!
Dude, your standardized national educational system IS the tough odds that young men of color face that causes them to stumble and drop out so often.
And now the women earn $.75 on the man’s $1 calumny.
Women make less then men? Maybe zero should take a pay cut to even up the field a bit.
Men are way more unemployed that women right now. So let’s focus on helping women! Because Mad men! On TV!
Women in an aggregate going back to the 70’s make .75 what a man makes “for equivalent work” (whatever the hell that is).
And somehow that’s proof that we need equal pay controls to be put on companies from on high.
I think Obama should raise his family in Poverty.

“Give America a raise and pay $20 for a happy meal.”
Give amaerica a raise and watch brownbagging come back in style. Oh sorry, in Oregon that’s paper bagging. Meaning bring you own lunch. Because the term brown bag is all dog whistle racisty now eve though in 42 two years I never heard it used that way once by anybody anywhere.
Hold it. This was a while back, but he said “federal investment gave us Facebook and Google.”
*facepalm*
Fixing Health care: the Prez made a funny.
“We’re in the process of fixing the broken health care system. ”
THANKS OBAMA! If this were a soft drinking game that would be a pitcher and a half right there.
9 million trillion! Obama is getting his Dr Evil on.
“Hold it. This was a while back, but he said “federal investment gave us Facebook and Google.” –
Al Gore made the internet. Darpa was just keeping it warm for him.
Don’t frown Boehner. You helped build this shitpile that’s about to collapse on us.
PresO says “Give America a raise” I hear “I have no clue what it takes to run a business, what the hell do I care?”

Oh yeah a piece of paper will stop those terrorists.
I won’t send our troops into harms way. . . . much.
By not being Bush, I will ask the world to play nice and fuck Israel over for peace, insult the UK and also I have a peace prize. Also the military has more gay people now and women can have guns and go on combat missions if they pass the test thing. And we will let our troops have submarines and not send them useless bayonets.
Hello Benghazi is calling on the white phone Mr. President.
Reform Drone rules! (just as soon as I’m not president)
CLOSE GITMO! (lifelong secret service for me suckers)
That’s weird. Luntz’s “approval-meter” graph has independents tracking with republicans instead of dems.
Maybe Boehner did it, and finally won over the independents by acting like a democrat collaborator.

Palestinian state, but a safe Israel.

Paleo isn’t playing fair. He’s read ahead or at least not pretending to not have heard this all before.
Leigh, Jordan almost became a “Palestinian state” in 1970 (a year before I was born) and 71 . And it did not happen in a nice democratic way. British mercs put a stop to it which is why Arafat ended up in Jerusalem in the first place.
Zero is delusional. Someone should tell him to pick up a history book and point out how Hitler used peace treaties for tactical advantage.
NY, orangeman doesn’t lead. He just blocks GOP shots when they get close to the basket.
No-other county does what we do? Irony bounds
Yeah, palaeo. It’s been a rumble ever since.
Is this informerrcial almost over?
No! A major GOP plank is to deny all military access to health care! Obama can’t do this! Waaaah!
More Irony, veteran benefits just cut but zero is fighting for us.

hy not pass a dcrease in the maximum wage? Shit we’ll just be France with 30% permanent unemployment monster taxes, a flat economy, big debts, and 35 hour work weeks with yearly furlough periods. Oh wait…we’re there. My bad.
“hy not pass a dcrease” -> Why not pass a decrease
I’m sorry fat guy who was helping Corey! I thought you were being a bad seatmate but you were helping! I went off half cocked and misjudged what I saw, and am in the wrong!
It probably doesn’t matter anyway since I’m so boring.
Wait? You’re really watching SOTU??
You just keep an eye on ol Mandy and we’ll suck it up and translate the zerospeak ;^)
I want to see the penphone.
Why are they asking Krauthammer? Krauthammer thinks he came up with the clever way to dump Harriet Miers and took five months to realize that Obama was not a cautious and canny centrist.
I hope Beck shits all over this mess tomorrow. But he’ll probably focus on other things. He kind of said to expect less Obama commentary this year since the prezbo was taking over his show and Beck wants to be a uniter and not a divider. And he’ll try to sell me gold, an online backup service, and vacuum packed mac and cheese. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
oh good an official gop c***
Kathy McMorris is getting high marks from the Luntz group of indpendentss and republicans. But she’s staring right into the camera instead of letting it watch her, so she’s not video savy. She’s sing songing a little bit.
They took the Luntz tracking off just as she started to talk about abortion too, I notice. Oh Fox.
Beck’s on a story about demonic possession in Indiana (I think) of late.
we be doing exorcism nationwide. evil peeps.

Fuck you.
“You watch Beck? Hahahahaha. No wonder your so simultaneously angry and stupid.”
Yeah, there’s nothing immature, stupid, angry, or knee jerk in THAT response is there steve-eh?
No wonder you were banned as a troll. Nearly everything you say is a smug, stupidly cartoonish, self aggrandizing stereotype fit only for a gormless dullard to recite. It’s really a shame that you can’t manage any hint of creativity despite all this animus you carry around for a board that cast you out.
Shoter palaeomerus : 1. Skim until Offended (Glen Beck) 2. Disqualify that Opinion (YOU SOUND ANGRY variant) 7. Concern Trolling (No wonder you…)
Also, last but not least, let me say ‘fuck off idiot’.
Actually, I listen to Beck. To me he’s more of a radio talent and even then he’s better with Pat and Stu there to keep him moving.
And he’s never told me to shoot a doubled barrel 12 gauge shotgun into the air twice to scare off home invaders either like our idiot biker molesting vice president. Or told me that a mortar attack and several hour long siege in Benghazi was because of a youtube video.
Nor did he tell me that I could keep my insurance if I liked it.
So yeah, I listen to Beck.

The fact that the establishment gave the task of
defending its positions to the usual political and journalistic hacks
was probably a case of Hobson’s choice in an emergency, but it
gained it nothing and was just one further error, since those gentlemen’s
standards are notorious. As could be expected, they immediately
brought into play against the Charter a whole set of slanders,
distortions, abuse, half-truths and absolute falsehoods which all
represent the dismal range of their capacity. Ispeak from experience
as one who has been a favourite target for their sort of behaviour for
the past thirty years, and who could well lay claim to the laurels of
seniority and worthy service. Though the powers that be may not
know it, or rather, would sooner not know it, nay, cannot afford to
know it (for where else would they find more obedient, unscrupulous
and servile creatures), the media are the principal, albeit
unintentional, creators and encouragers of opposition, since they
are totaJIy suspect and nobody believes them. People almost automatically
take for gospel the opposite of what the papers say. Once
all-powerful, the media were capable of pointing the finger that
condemned people to death.
“Vulcans are logical.”
No! Vulcan’a have (had thanks to Abrams) a global society that directs and encourage them to form an adult persona who’s decision making is based on dispassionate principles of logic as taught by the philosopher Surak, following some sort of devastating war that they feared would end them as a species if they did not change.
But look at Obama. He’s stiff, waxy skinned, bony faced, smug, aloof, holding back furious contempt and anger, prone to spouting traditional dogmas and generalities instead of making pertinent observations, likes experimenting, mistakes his own intuition for wisdom… you know damned well he’s green blooded. He’s a vulcan without the culture or selflessness and intellectual discipline raised in lower gravity than the rest so he can’t one hand a computer monitor into a paper weight. Although now that I think about it, a vulcan ought to be a lot better at hoops given their superior reflexes and hand eye coordination. He is the kind of vulcan that a humanities program would kick out.
“yawn”
Yeah. Great point.

Did you think the government was going to stay away from the wealth in retirement accounts? Really?

And hopefully people take that order into account in the 2014 elections. People might like this president a little better if he had one foot glued to the floor. It might make it harder for him to wander around with his hammer “fixing” things.
Here’s the state of the union address in a nut shell.
“You haven’t seen anything yet. Now I’m REALLY going to shit the bed. Enjoy the flavor!”
Y’all get a sense of how that works to where responding to a troll-just-about-to-disappear when *poof*, it’s gone and the response is left free-floating at nothing? Such that, other methods, such as ignoring the critter, might be more effective?
A smaller nutshell. “I AM the revolution.”
No, this is a revolution.
Exactly. A Romulan.
Romulans built an empire. and developed plasma and cloaking tech. Obama is an unRomulan. He developed regulations, payola handouts, and massive borrowing.
gormless
Now, see, this word doesn’t get anywhere near enough usage.
Romulans aren’t even real
i know how you can tell
Vulcans are joiners. They don’t have a star empire. And besides the whole qualifications thing, Romulans are powdery* not waxy.
*Except in TNG and onward where they all got fore-head cysts and bowl-haircut wigs and got oily.

Sounds like you read Jonah today:
Come to think of it, the NRO crew has deftly eviscerated another one of Woodrow Wilson’s nasty little monarchical tics (h/t Insty). Kevin Williamson opens with a Jeffsentence:
Geraghty chimes in:
Me, I’m getting to where 1912 sounds like a good reset point for the country.
For starters.
“Sounds like you read Jonah today”
Nope, I didn’t read him.
I was thinking of the strange, single minded, elemental malice of the ‘Dead End Kid’ in “Easter Yeggs” and the saying that “when all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail” used to describe how a sharply limited tool set leads one to develop often inappropriate one-note approaches to any task.
http://www.trilulilu.ro/video-animatie/bugs-bunny-easter-yeggs
Kevin Williamson really wrote a damned nice kick-off there. I’m still grinning from having read that. Good stuff. No student of Twain should offer undeserved mercy to a genuine backpfeifengesicht.
And now I see I missed a chance to pep it up. If I had really been on my game I would have written:
” make it harder for him to wander around with his hammer (and implied sickle) “fixing” things.”
“It’s the most nauseating display in American public life — and I write that as someone who has just returned from a pornographers’ convention.”
Hah! Kevin Williamson is on…how you say?…On ze fire!

Grimm is an ex marine. Personally, I think anyone in congress, of any party, who demands “respect” right now especially from the press has their head up their ass. Threats on top of that imply early onset idiocy. And thanks to the AKIN protocol I now know how to deal with “embarrassing” republican idiots like Grimm ( and Christie). So, let the mulching begin.

I don’t think Grimm is a progressive. He seems to be caught up in a push by both the Obama administration and the establishment Republicans to squash any and all [R] who were elected to the House as freshmen in 2010 and their supporters using the BAMN method especially the campaign finance laws. I also see more of the ex-FBI agent coming to the fore in that exchange than the Marine.
