yeah I know it’s Thursday, the internets don’t work on a holiday.
“Do you see a lion waiting at the bottom of a water-park slide? Do not use the slide.
Even in the convivial atmosphere of a sophisticated international vacation destination, do not try to speak “lion.” Roars and grumbles are part of a complicated tonal language, and your efforts may result in unintended insults.”

You say to yourself, seriously the place must be run by a bunch of thirteen year olds. But you don’t really believe seriously that the place must be run by a bunch of thirteen year olds. Then you say, no, seriously the place must be run by a bunch of thirteen year olds. But then you realize it’s not actually a statement that you could be serious about, that seriously the place must be run by a bunch of thirteen year olds. But then, you say to yourself, my G-d, seriously the place must be run by a bunch of thirteen year olds. Then, with all your might, you can’t resist the sanity of logic that fortunately rules your sentient being which clearly defines the fact that it’s not serious that seriously the place must be run by a bunch of thirteen year olds.
Then it dawns on you like a bolt,…
they’re twelve.

Made in China, no doubt.
He got a “below average” fixed mortgage of 5.625%!
What’s average? 5.93%
He bargained, and we all know bargaining only takes place in those terrorist street market Bazaar’s.
(never mind the “reality show” text, couldn’t find a version of this clip w/out it)
probably a good idea to start bombing the shit out of them.

For all the tough on terror, tough on everything, general bravado of the big bad Republican party, along with the tough, veteran, maverickyness of Mr. McCain, he and they sure have the whiny little crybaby routine down to snot running perfection.

Just a few days ago they made me read Freidman.
Now they’re making me read MoDo.
And I’m liking it!

“It’s hard to believe that if Americans get attacked after all these years of getting strip-searched at the airport, they’re going to be filled with confidence at the performance of the Republicans on national security. And at least Obama wants to catch Osama and doesn’t think he’s getting his directions on war from “a higher Father.” “
Much like Senator Dodd:
“I don’t think you can hold the rule of law in any greater contempt than sanctioning torture,” Dodd said. . . .
“Controlled death. Outsourced torture. Secret prisons. Month-long sleep deprivations. The president’s personal power to hold whomever he likes for as long as he’d like. It is as if we woke up in the middle of some Kafka-esque nightmare.
“Have I gone wildly off-topic . . . ? Have I brought up a dozen unrelated issues?
“I wish I had. . . I wish that none of these stories were true.
“But, we are deceiving ourselves when we talk about the U.S. attorneys issue, the habeas issue, the torture issue, the rendition issue, or the secrecy issue as if each were an isolated case! As if each one were an accident! When we speak of them as isolated, we are keeping our politics cripplingly small; and as long as we keep this small, the rule of men is winning.
“There is only one issue here. Only one: the law issue.
“Does the president serve the law, or does the law serve the president? Each insult to our Constitution comes from the same source; each springs from the same mindset; and if we attack this contempt for the law at any point, we will wound it at all points.
“That is why I’m here today. . . . Immunity is a disgrace in itself, but it is far worse in what it represents. It tells us that some believe in the courts only so long as their verdict goes their way. That some only believe in the rule of law, so long as exceptions are made at their desire. It puts secrecy above sunshine and fiat above law.”
