Obama’s socialism? Turns out it was all very necessary and pragmatic.
So. I guess that settles it, then.

Pragmatism means never letting a crisis go to waste. True brilliance, though, means never letting an opportunity to create a crisis go to waste.
So he’s pragmatic and brilliant!
[…] dollar omnibus bill? Obama still wants it. | Home | “The Accidental Statist” » November 15, 2010 Behind the Curtain. […]
I’m convinced! He is indeed a good man.
So I wonder how he explains the more than 25% increase in discretionary spending in the last budget congress deigned to actually put together?
An accidental signing? He had to pass the bill to know what was in it? I think this is more of his usual hokum.
You have to spend money to save money, Bob. Remember when Uncle Joe Biden, G-d love him, told us that?
Another good man clearly. Admittedly goofy, but good all the way…
Y’know, for a good man, he’s kindof a dick.
– Two more years of this, and the only thing he’ll be running for is his life.
– Someone close to him had better talk some sense into his head before things spiral completely out of control.
– In other news….
– Rangle walked out of his ethics trial, claiming his lawyers have deserted him and he can’t afford representation. With him absent he won’t have to answer any direct questions. Him and his Lefturd advisers will try to claim later he never admitted to any wrong doing. Their usual weasling way of avoiding the truth.
OT but all the different avatars are cracking me up.
Remember, nothing sounds more Presidential than “I didn’t wanna…”
The avatars make it even more obvious when someone (okay, me) is having an OCD moment. Or moments.
k, I can’t wait til I get home to see what my avatar is.. I think i know, but I’m not certain.
McConnell joins in the earmarks ban ( http://tiny.cc/earmks ).
THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED!
It looks like a mouse in a skirt holding a hat over her head.
Okay, wrong on that one, though these pics are frelling tiny as all get out.
OT: There is now a bar on the screen bottom labeled “PW tools”. I’m curious, are these 1) cranket cudgels™ 2)Squid Brand™ pitchforks and torches, or 3) some new set of implements that Jeff G has crafted-like correct use of language and interpretations of intent :)
cranket = crankey
I really need to get an administrative warfare specialist
I think Maggie’s avatar is this but with a kitty.
yep, that’s it, bh
All sorts of buttons on the bottom there… My attention span will not let me not click… Liked it better back in my day… when if we wanted internet we had to write our own HTML… on a rock…
Those buttons do all kinds of crazy things, man. I’m confuzzled by them. Apparently we can all join a chat or something.
Okay, it’s a cat and not a mouse, but a cat with long ears. I was close!
Yeah, I don’t believe it either. I’m going blind.
Is this now an AJB Frei blog? That would actually be a little bit of a shame.
Cordially…
(turning to bh and cranky) where’s maggie?
I should think that AJB is free to register just like everyone else. While he is annoying, I don’t recall him ever being in danger of anything beyond being ridiculed.
Despite what some of the trolls think, it takes a lot to end up on the outs here. I’d be surprised if more than ten people have been asked to leave in the last ten years I’ve been reading.
I ask because I know I’m not the one who dropped her.
Number 12 and 19, Ernst.
Never mind, something else is apparently going on.
Don’t you remember cranky? We arrived over the target and their was a short-circuit or something, so maggie went back into the bay to fix it. The green light came on so we dropped the ordinance and now maggie’s missing.
Preview doesn’t help with the proof reading if you don’t actually look.
I’m as dense as neutronium, Ernst.
What I’m saying is that Maggie the Cat isn’t alive. She’s as dead as Slim Pickens.
Oh, I got that once you posted 29. But before that, totally confuzzled.
It occured to me that that’s what the neutronium remark meant, by I decided I should imitate Slim and play it straight.
As we don’t know whether or not a probabilistic quantum event triggered a chain reaction we must consider Maggie the Cat to be both dead and alive.
(Yeah, I went there.)
I think it’s 5 or 6 that I’ve asked to stay away.
ha! I was thinking maybe I should change it, since it was causing a stir, but then bh went there.
Maggie’s last communication, as recorded by the radio operator aboard another B-52: “My God! It’s full of STARS!
Heh.
Hi little one.
I can haz avatar?
Heh, hey, big brother.
Go here, Monster. Register with them using the same email you registered here with and it’ll take care of the rest.
I was curious as to whether I had to be logged into gravatar to have the avatar show up here. Seems I don’t. Just have to get the image uploaded there and log in here.
Unless you’ve got some kind of Java script foul-up going on with your browser that prevents you from cropping and finishing your image. Bad Java is worse than bad ju-ju.

I know!
It’s like having our personal foole that doesn’t know he’s a fool. If there were Youtube video of him attempting to use tools it would be hilarious.
5 or 6 sounds right to me, Jeff, but I wanted to be safe.
Gravitar? So this time they’re green instead of blue?
I am going to miss sockpuppets though.
But, hey! PREVIEW!
What kind of a wingnut would have the Gadsen flag as an avatar. Some nutcase, most likely.
Sockpuppets live!
The only problem with sockpuppeting is that your avatar stays the same.
Hey, in my case I own my domain. I could create an email address just for sockpuppeting, and not use an avatar for that one.
Hmm.
Bobby orr.
Is this how the sockpuppet thing works?
How about this?
Sweet. I just hit 100% approval of registration. I was getting a little nervous hanging out there at 98%.
In order to prevent any more ‘accidents’, I’m hoping Darrell Issa is able to uncover just exactly what happened with the ‘stimulus’.
