I read that initially as "Obama's embrace of immortality." Which you have to admit would be pretty cool, though I wonder what it would do to the health care bill, not to mention any current entitlement programs.

Obama's a vampire now ?

Better than the Honduran coup government foreign minister calling Obama a "negrito"? (literally: "little black man", can be interpreted as "little nigger").

This is completely and utterly not correct. In Spanish, negrita/o is an endearment. If it's interpreted as 'little nigger' than it's the interpreter who is at fault.
 
That was one long-assed hike!

Just an update. The South Carolina governor, spotted at the airport, told reporters he wanted something exotic so he went to Argentina.
 
I can tell they really struggled to omit any possible bias in the phrasing of their questions.

Should bureaucrats in Washington, DC be in charge of making your health care choices instead of you and your doctor?

Should Republicans unite to block new federal government bureaucracy and red tape that will crush future economic growth?

Slow down and start over. That was the message from top Capitol Hill Republicans in advance of President Barack Obama's address Wednesday night to Congress and the nation on health care.

"Our view is: Let's scale it back, target the problems and not have the government take over, in effect, all of American health care," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said.

Apparently they've all been too busy fucking their girlfriends this past nine months to do the people's business. They've had the chance to 'get it right'. They've steadfastly refused to take it. It's time for them to move aside and let those who are prepared to govern, govern; and for God's sake quit being such whiny bastards about everything.

Hell no!

This is truly the thread that will never die. I offer up today's nominee from one Louis Gohmert (R-TX) on what will happen if hate crimes legislation passes. Necrophiliacs rejoice!

PS Hate crimes legislation will lead to electing little guys with funny mustaches (like HITLER!)

Oh dear god. There really is no hope.
 
Do Republican leaders ever stop to think before making stupid remarks?

Case # 32,760: Newt Gingrich (R - Adulterer) says that the founding fathers would be "very severe critics" of President Obama.

Good point, Newt.

Especially the slaveholders, I'm guessing.

It's not the Jus Soli that's the stupid part. It's the framing it as 'Well, we need to keep this as a white country, so if we stop them illegals from giving citizenship to their kids, we can stop them from being Democrats!' bit.

Actually, the really stupid part is thinking they can just enact a law to do this.

The 14th Amendment of the Constitution says: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. "

According to Wiki, the bill's sponsors claim that illegal immigrants (and their spawn) are NOT subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, and therefor not protected by the 14th Amendment, and so the 14th Amendment doesn't need amending.
 
So, in order to support your view of this trivial incident, you insist that I carefully review the facts of this minor footnote to history. Perhaps then, I might better appreciate your stance on this utterly vapid event?

And to accomplish this end, you would have me read one of the snottiest pedants to ever tap a typewriter key?
 
What the fuck? Dijon mustard is elitist? I don't fucking get it. It's not exactly a 400 dollar haircut.
 
I'm not as willing to give her a complete pass.

As soon as she reached for an easy (I might have too), off-the-cuff, ready-made phrase containing the world "hope," and started to add the word "white," even if it wasn't referencing Obama's race, something should have told her it would be quite impolitic to suggest the antidote to the Democrat [del]socialist[/del] progressive actions had to be any particular race -- and stopped herself.

Unless, of course, in the back of her mind she was thinking of the failure of Michael Steele's selection as RNC Chairman to provide that hope.
 
Isn't it funny how people who bring up the Founding Fathers, Socialism, Jesus/the Bible, the Constitution and things like that are usually the most ignorant about all of those things? they're just words to throw around, not meaningful concepts.

I'm pretty sure we didn't have a National Abortion Month, a National Gay Pride Month, or a National Divorce Month, so what is she on about here?
 
"Iranian activity similar to what we did in House last year when Republicans were shut out in the House" Oh, Pete Hoekstra. You're a fucking moron.
