No brainer
Oy. Doesn’t really matter what he meant now — sometimes an expression so perfectly sums up what everyone was already thinking about a candidate, it sticks like superglue. I wonder what kind of night Eric Fehrnstrom is having.
Still, mustn’t enjoy myself too much. Romney’s going to be the nominee anyway, and I’ll line up behind him and push with all I’ve got. Deja suck.
If you want a nice big blank color Etch-a-Sketch graphic of your own to play with, here you go.

Yay! I get to use this graphic again!
Ah, I thought I’d never get to run with this illo again.
Arlen Specter. ‘Member him? Defected from the Republican Party in time to be the 60th yea vote on Obamacare.
Duplicitous rat bastard has a new book out, was shocked that the Democrats reneged on all the goodies they promised. Wouldn’t campaign for him. Didn’t let him keep his seniority (and hence snag a plum chairmanship).
Specter believes Reid acted with “duplicity” while managing the party switch. Specter said Reid promised him that he would be recognized on the seniority list as a Democrat elected in 1980, but failed to deliver on it.
Had Specter been given the seniority he was promised, he would have become chairman of the powerful Labor, Health and Human Services Appropriations subcommittee and next in line to chair the Judiciary Committee.
Instead, Reid stripped Specter of all his seniority by passing a short resolution by unanimous consent in a nearly-empty chamber, burying him at the bottom of the Democrats’ seniority list.
Specter found out about it after his press secretary emailed him a press account of the switch. Specter was floored that Reid had “violated a fundamental Senate practice to give personal notice to a senator directly affected by the substance of a unanimous consent agreement.”
The fairytale ending? Specter didn’t even make it through the primary next go-round, when Democrats decided they’d rather vote for an actual Democrat, thanks very much.
Ye gods, our lords and masters are stupid people.

Dance for me, tiny naked bus driver!
I made you a tiny naked bus driver! That spins!
(I was at this very useful artists’ reference site, and turns out I simply cannot look at sequential images without itching to cut them together into an animated .gif file).
Anyway, who thought “seated nude with arms in robot position” was going to be wildly helpful to anyone?
Have a good weekend! Or, you know, you could hang around here and watch the tiny naked robot-arm-chair guy go ’round and ’round and ’round and ’round…

Butt-crack daisy
I’m going to be the #1 Google hit for “butt-crack daisy” or my name isn’t Seraphina Terwilliger Weasel. (Original photo is a Man Ray).
I’m not yet. Feh. Google used spider me in really fast, back in the day.
Interesting…when I did a search of “butt-crack daisy” (only when it’s punctuated exactly like that), a notice appears at the bottom of the search listings: In response to a legal request submitted to Google, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read more about the request at ChillingEffects.org.
At the link: Child Pornography Complaint to Google. The cease-and-desist or legal threat you requested is not yet available. (Child pornography butt-crack daisy. Oh, let’s not dwell on that, ‘K?)
That Chilling Effects site is interesting, though. From my quick trawl, it looks like they’re gathering cease-and-desist letters and linking them up to FAQs. Cool.
Anyway, I just can’t deal with politics at the moment. Sorry. Between the presidential hoo-ha in the States and all the crap about Greece and the Euro, current events at the moment is like a great hooting of spider monkeys.

I have this little dream
O, what would I give to see Men of Color, Drunk/Sober, LGBT Youth, The Homeless, The Mentally Ill and Muslims all together in one place. And none of those gosh-darned policemen!

We are all Meghan McCain
I love making fun of Meghan McCain. It’s so pleasantly guilt-free.
Normally, I would feel kind of sorry for anyone so badly and publicly used. Meghan’s friends in the media only love her because she is Republican and deliciously stupid. It is a signal characteristic of stupid people that they are too stupid to realize they’re stupid (really. There’s been science and stuff).
But Meghan pushes herself out there hard, and then is too stupid to realize it makes her a public figure. Fair game. Ripe for the ridiculing.
If you didn’t read Red State’s hilarious McCain parody, there are bits of it left here. Unfortunately, the context is a take-down letter from her lawyer.
This law blog has a most enjoyable (read: bitchy) post on why Meghan’s complaint is bogus and what to do about it.
Short answer: MOAR RIDICULE!

The president is really, really cheesed off at you
Also, his pants are around his ankles.
I have no idea why this image popped into my head as illustrative of Obama’s current dilemma. It just seems the more he tries to play hardball, the sillier he looks.
You know, lefties have a point. Obama has done so many things to disappoint them — from keeping Guantanamo open to backing off on EPA regs to, well, lots of things — in many ways, he’s governed like George Bush’s third term. So why are us wingnuts so hard on him?
Well, thing is, I *am* pleased when he does something out of character, like stepping up drone strikes or getting Osama. Of course I am. But it’s all so terribly random. We know his heart is with the left, but his actions are all over the board.
Clearly, much of what he’s doing at the moment is with an eye to the 2012 elections. But he’s not very good at pandering, so it comes off as merely erratic and incoherent.
Much power and completely unpredictable? Bad combo.

Hey, baby…about that special relationship…
President Sooper Genius muffed the queen’s toast yesterday. Among other things.
j/k — what he really said was, “next time, can I wear the sparkly hat?”

Osama be Coolin’
Aw, now, everybody is saying such ugly things today…I guess it’s up to me to post something pretty.
You know what? Today only — nothing but praise for the president. It was a tough, risky call and he made the right choice.
I’ve never been so pleased to lose a dick. Congratulations, Montenegro. Y’all know what this means — new Deadpool starts Friday!

Hey, nice wolverine
So this one day, one of my co-workers comes in wearing this huge, godawful ugly wig — forget matching her hair color, it didn’t seem to match her species. And my boss leaned over to me and said, “Ah. I see Christine has come to work with a wolverine on her head today.”
That’s how I always think of Trump — that guy with the wolverine on his head.
I share my vision with you. You’re welcome.
That’s all I know about him — rich, wolverine on head — so I don’t really have an opinion on a Trump presidential run. I’ll make a couple of predictions, though.
First, they’re going to call this “the most important election of our lives.” That’s an easy call; they always do. And it’s almost always true.
Second, the gosh-darned importance of this election will be cited as the reason Sarah Palin really shouldn’t run, there’s a dear (but somehow won’t be a factor with Donald Trump’s little vanity project).
