Know Your Mustelid!

Honestly, some people couldn’t tell a marten from a weasel if you hit them in the face with one.

HOQUIAM, Wash. – Police say a man was carrying a dead weasel when he burst into an apartment and assaulted a man in Washington state.

The victim asked, “Why are you carrying a weasel?” Police said the attacker answered, “It’s not a weasel, it’s a marten,” then punched him in the nose and fled.

And with the news that Mrs Weiner is pregnant, the Weinergate scandal is officially No Longer Fun for me.

Oh, not because I have a soft spot for motherhood (the failure to reproduce myself is my gift to the gene pool. You’re welcome).

It’s because — for people as ambitious and calculating as I take the Weiners to be — the suddenness and enormity of what just happened to Huma Abedin is…staggering. It makes cold sweat bead along my hairline, empathetically.

FAR harder to endure than if she’d married him for love (I cynically assume she didn’t).

Of course, I always had a sneaking sympathy for Lady MacBeth, too.

Jimmy Page, Prison Blues…
“I got a Marten in my pocket”. (Totally doesn’t work.)

For certain applications, there’s Martens. For everything else, there’s WeaselCard.

Dear Gods Almighty, I need a Guinness. Right. Off to get that.

When I heard of the rumor…I was instantly disappointed for the growing kiddie.

Huma has worked for the beast and was there throughout the clenis, dicking around. The creep she married had creep written all over him and flaming out his fat mouth. She knew exactly what she was getting…a political marriage between the US and the ummah.

Call me cynical.

Oh, you can just feel the rotten Hand of Hillary: “marry a rising political star, squeeze out the requisite kid…it’ll save awkward questions later on.”

Brrrrr.

Of course, the NEXT question is whether it really is the Weiner’s kid. Or is it a product of Hillary with a baster? Not that there are any rumors about that or anything. And of course, ANY rumors would be categorically false, because that’s just NOT the kind of people they are…

OK. So now, Weiner got a Huma, and (supposedly) has a bun in the oven, but couldn’t keep the package on and is now in hot water because of some BAD advertising of the product……

This is:

A) A hollywood Comedy
B) A Greek Tragedy
C) A Comic Tragedy
D) The Normal Weekly Democrat Follies

I’m not even conviced that there IS a kid in the works here, because it would ABSOLUTELY be par for the course for Weiner to CLAIM that there is a kid, but then Huma tragically “LOOSES” the baby because of all the stress being applied by dem “EVYL REPUBLIGATES”, who didn’t drop the issue from the get-go…..

Needless to say that it’s time to take EVERYTHING about this with a grain of salt…..

Mark Matis and I are channeling the same gossip. Huma is supposedly hillary’s long time girlfriend. Her marriage to wiener is rumored to be just a cover For hillary’s playtime. I find it stunning that she is all the sudden with child. I’m betting Bill, with a turkey baster, with shillary watching. And if that doesn’t make you want to toss your cookies…..

I think everyone who doesn’t know the difference between a Marten and a weasel should – at least once in their life – be punched in the face by a man who then flees.

It will teach them an important lesson. But I’m not sure which one.

A Clinton’s girlfriend pregnant? Have a cigar! Oh, er, ah, sorry. Anyhow she decided to marry a loser, but now she’s Wiener!

And the child, whether Wiener’s or not is definitely going to be a right little baster’d.

Oh dear, I just don’t seem to be able to hit the right tone here…

Well clearly, the weasel is the more charming mustelid. That marten is fox-faced.

Mustelid ignorance abounds even in my own family. My aunt (not Auntie) argued with me once that an ermine was somehow different from a weasel. Highly educated woman mind you…just not in the mammalian taxonomy sense. Weasels and their kin exist on the foggy edges of common knowledge methinks.

and yes, I so wanted to punch her in the face.

Somehow I believe that THAT tidbit might be a bit harder to digest in 9th Congressional District than whether or not Congress Member Wiener has been flooding Al Gore’s interweb with pictures of his….err….Homo Erectus…..

For steve:
Who says the voters in the 9th Congressional District need to know? After all, what evidence is there that the Weiners and their enablers are not enthusiastic practitioners of taqiyya, regardless of whether or not they are members of the Religion of Peace? Your mileage may vary, but one of many links is here:

Oh the martens and McCoys
They were restless mountain boys
And they always got to feudin’ when they met
They could shoot each other quicker
Than it took an eye to flicker
And they carried dead Mustelids with them as their pets

Ditto. Someone elsewhere commented that this is what Bill and Hillary did during or right after the Lewinsky scandal — they put out word that they were thinking about adopting a child.

Stop with the conspiracy theories. It makes us all look silly. Default assumption: she’s straight, she’s got her husband’s bun in the oven, end of. And she’s the victim here, although what she saw in that cod-eyed shitbag in the first place is an utter mystery.

While Pegatron says it is investigated to determine the

For instance, a plumber becomes extremely active and has lots
of attention and care for it to them. The main things you should reconsider

Decide on the market, there are some important things in the contract, and most importantly, gain professional freedom.
