If we gain complete control of the legislative and executive branches why should we do anything but reward our friends and punish our foes?  What would Obama do? No, seriously.  Do we really think they’re going to learn a deep lesson by repeal? How about punish and then repeal? I’m not kidding.  This is their world.  They’re the fascist bastards dragging the rest of us into it.  Are they really

…if it weren’t the case that concerning ourselves with language — specifically, how it has been institutionally gamed to push the political needle leftward through linguistically incoherent foundational assumptions, rhetorical tyrannies, and hermeneutic Machiavellianism — wasn’t so pedantic, pseudo-intellectual, and “fundamentally unserious” an undertaking. Let the left play around with that inconsequential stuff.  We on the right can fund raise for the next GOPer in line like mutherfuckers! So.  Carry

I know, lots of women juggling work and family

Turns out some bullshit is even too bullshitty for the Bullshitter-in-Chief. — Who, to be fair, was in reality telling the truth, as noted here earlier this morning. It’s just that the truth he’s telling isn’t the same one that he’s hoping to sell, at least, not to the general electorate — too many of whom his campaign fears are still likely clinging to their guns and their religion, things

Speaking as a Hobbit, I don’t blame Bush. By the way, any truth to the rumor Al Gore is putting together a second film, The Inconvenient Truth 2:  Yeah, We Dems Pretty Much Fucked Everything Up, Didn’t We?  Because if not, boy do I have a pitch to make to him! (h/t BBH)
