US POLITICS SPRING 2011: Let's just call off this country.

heheh oh god

I think scanning and uuencoding the pic so he could email it to her in 6 separate parts would have made the story that much more amazing

side question: how well-known is krugman among normals? i was talking to my dad, a liberal with a graduate degree in economics, a few months ago and his name came up; he wasn't familiar with him

your dad reallllly doesn't keep up w/ things, krugman is easily one of the most famous economists. written tons of books, his econ work was important before he was a blogger. arguably the most famous living economist?

If Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) can hang on to his seat after admitting to patronizing prostitutes, which is illegal, then Weiner should certainly stay put. But when voters send someone to Washington, they do so out of trust. Trust that you will uphold the law. Trust that you will make the right decisions on their behalf.

I mean "most famous living economist" still = less well-known than snooki, but anyone who even casually keeps up on economic news would have seen him referenced somewhere. even right-wing people! xp

the howler picks a bit of a hole in krugman's latest. bill clinton promised to "end welfare as we know it"; if republicans had run ads saying "bill clinton wants to end welfare", democrats would have been up in arms and rightly so.

i understand your point, but, just look at this sentence...

Absurdly false equivalence.

Medicare can't be medicare with vouchers. It defies the very essence of the program.

absolutely

Wait a sec. Somehow or other I got some santorum on my computer screen. eeech!

the photo was on slate.com, i'm not googling him obvs

don't get drrty, daria

those are some grotesque nipples

did someone post a link to k-lo's hilarious pro-santorum column today

dude is gonna run the most hilarious campaign of the cycle

Even funnier: K-Lo's column responding to Weiner's weiner.

i edited the nipples in
also ned

those are his nipples, i mean. just bigger

lactating does that to nipples

photoshopping ned's nipples in there was a bridge too far imo

I am appalled that you guys refer to some wingnut columnist as K-Lo even tho I don't know who that is

You're appalled that you don't know who she is?

no, fiercely proud of that

I pay no attention to such columnists, Morbs, and I cannot recall ever reading any column by the woman, but just by knocking around ILX I know they're mockingly referring to someone named Kathryn Lopez, who may or may not have a big butt.

Aimless, you sound like you're testifying before a congressional subcommittee.

I will stipulate to these facts, Senator.

oh yeah no doubt, he's just like a director at a hospital now & his econ degree probably is only somewhat useful, he's pretty much a 'normal'

anyway, if all I read was John Cole and Greenwald I'd laugh myself to death with boredom.

fuckin normals

JUAN COLE xp

Alfred, two politics writers are about all you need, the game is over.

I love baseball but I do not read the guys who write "STATS! All they tell you are FACTS! Gimme the old days when Pete Rose ran to first base on a walk cuz he was a hustlin' white guy who never bet against his own team" etc.

Nope. This guy.

...indeed.

just for the record, those are weiner's nipples, enlarged!

man, every time i photoshop nipples i reaaaally regret it!

What was actually going down while people were wasting time thinking about Anthony Weiner's penis. 16 Democrats voted yes: Rep. Jason Altmire (D, PA-04), Rep. Dan Boren (D, OK-02), Rep. Jerry Costello (D, IL-12), Rep. Mark Critz (D, PA-12), Rep. Henry Cuellar (D, TX-28), Rep. Joe Donnelly (D, IN-02), Rep. Tim Holden (D, PA-17), Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D, OH-09), Rep. Dale Kildee (D, MI-05), Rep. Dan Lipinski (D, IL-03), Rep. Jim Matheson (D, UT-02), Rep. Mike McIntyre (D, NC-02), Rep. Colin Peterson (D, MN-07), Rep. Nick Rahall (D, WV-03), Rep. Mike Ross (D, AR-04), and Rep. Heath Shuler (D, NC-11). Not sure what the bill's chances are in the Senate, don't believe the president will veto but if it came to that & he did then I will immediately donate to his reelection campaign, this bill & 95% of the shit going on in reproductive rights this year are a God damned shame.

...and we've got this here little skirmish in Libya too.
