..so goes the nation.  Enjoy.

The Gap.  Because they love themselves some Christmas.

…is more serious than these dorks.   Terror trials as political footballs?  Nice.

I think this is just about right.

Any way you slice it, it’s so very sad.  I hope people can resist to urge to “create your own adventure” story and let the facts come out.   I fear that so much ugly is out there already that the facts won’t matter.  But with some of these people, the facts never do.

Anyhoo .. some chatter here, here , here and here.

Say it ain’t so …

Boehner, for one, declared that the health care bill is the “greatest threat to freedom that I have seen.” That’s some statement … And at one point during the rally — call it a Bachmannalia — when John Ratzenberger, a.k.a Cliff Clavin from “Cheers,” claimed that the Democrats were turning the United States into a land of European socialism, the audience shouted, “Nazis, Nazis.” No Republican legislator left the stage in protest. Boehner and his fellow GOP leaders should be asked how they feel about mounting a rally that attracted intense hate-mongering.

… but come on people.

You lost.

A couple years ago the husband and I traveled to DC and went on a (very lame) tour of the Capitol.  After two long lines and serious, better-than-airport security, a very nice and informed gentleman took our group to approximately three rooms in the Capitol.  Let me sum up the tour: big statues, big portraits, lots of shuffling.  I guess we should have waited to go tomorrow when Michele Bachmann and her band of merry idiots fan out in the halls of Congress to yell at people.  I’m sure patriotic fantasies of confrontations with members of Congress will dance in their heads tonight but more likely they will be shuffling and mumbling with tourists from the Midwest.   Enjoy the statues.
