Congratulations on finding a way to make me more disgusted with politics:

“With the Obama administration poised for a huge public education campaign on healthcare reform, Republicans and their allies are mobilizing a counter-offensive including town hall meetings, protests and media promotions to dissuade uninsured Americans from obtaining health coverage,” Reuters reports. “‘We’re trying to make it socially acceptable to skip the exchange,’ said Dean Clancy, vice president for public policy at FreedomWorks, which boasts 6 million supporters.”

"I thought that impeachment would be divisive for the country. ... If somebody had a crime that the president had committed, that would be a different story." -- Nancy Pelosi, 2008

It's a four-hour miniseries, but since it's on NBC it will be canceled after the second hour.

The reality show! Can't top that; no actress can reproduce the campaign-trail "gallonagas."

I guess a couple hours dramatizing the healthcare reform screwup just didn't sell in the suites.

In other news, I guess Republicans will respond to the below by saying that people aren't trying to get work because they're living the good life on food stamps; and taxes are just too high on job creators....

Nationwide, the count of America's poor remains stuck at a record number: 46.2 million, or 15 percent of the population, due in part to lingering high unemployment following the recession.

wawaface & gabbneb are dated

as are these threads

playwright Greg Marlowe, secretly in love with Mary (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 30 July 2013 00:26 (ten years ago) link

especially with this news:

The Senate overwhelmingly confirmed James B. Comey as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Monday even as Republicans and Democrats struggled to hold together the fragile deal that preserved the filibuster for executive branch appointees.

After approving Mr. Comey on a 93-to-1 vote — with Rand Paul the lone “no” vote — the Senate was also expected this week to approve Samantha Power as ambassador to the United Nations and the nominees to the National Labor Relations Board who were part of the 11th-hour pact that kept Senator Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat and majority leader, from changing the filibuster rules.

first I think it's time I kick a little verse! (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 30 July 2013 00:33 (ten years ago) link

so I offer Obama's and Reid's asses for Dem trolls to crawl up

just read a cool thing in Amy Davidson's manning trial column about the prosecution displaying a self-portrait manning took of himself cross-dressing, seems p cool, just dropping this in there for some colour, nbd

Verdict expected today.

http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2013-07-26/national/40863033_1_mobile-information-collection-unit-ashden-fein-david-coombs

Coombs also countered one of prosecutor Fein’s arguments that attempted to show Manning was seeking fame: A photo Manning took of himself, smiling in front of a mirror while on leave in Maryland. Fein said it showed a “gleeful, grinning” Manning who was proud to have leaked documents and be “on his way to notoriety” he wanted.

Coombs asked the judge to take a closer look at the photo, pointing out that Manning was wearing makeup and a bra.

“What you see is a young man who is cross-dressing,” Coombs said as Manning’s face tightened slightly in a pained look.“Maybe, just maybe ... he is happy to be himself for that moment,” Coombs said of Manning’s struggle to fit into the military at a time he was confused about his gender identity and serving openly was illegal for gays.
