COLLECTIVE MADNESS
“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."
That guy is fat enough to make a truly great President.

Draft the Rubio/Christie 2012 Ticket now!
ReplyDeleteVoters would be assured of no 16 year reign:
Fatso's bound to stroke out before then.
Have to fit Air Force One with a couple booster rockets for extra lift on takeoffs.

Celibacy sharpens the senses.
ReplyDelete...like going blind.
So says a male model on Medved who took a vow of celibacy after tiring of all the women hanging around him.
ReplyDeletePoor dude.
Is he giving Press (good Press, I might add) from Hospitals now, just in case?
ReplyDelete...probly couldn't resist a swig or two from each of those bottles behind him.
ReplyDeleteObama has really shown that he is the Cool Dude he was said to be:
ReplyDeleteApparently suffers no pangs of conscience whatsoever watching Basketball while America withers.
Those bottles, noticing that is acute perception on your part Dougo.

Sorry, doug, but Mr Rubio is not a "Natural Born" citizen.
ReplyDeleteHe does not meet the Constitutional requirements that boobie has told us prevail, in regards being a "Natural Born" citizen.
Since neither Mr Rubio's mother or father, both, were not born in the USA.
At least Mr Obama's mama was.
Who's to tell, really, who the baby daddy was?
The crapper has got one right. I was going to mention that about Rubio, and Jindal too.
ReplyDeleteGood comment, crapper.

"Clearly there will be other, further, and serious consequences."
ReplyDeleteIn Washington, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Washington condemned the incident "in the strongest terms."
At the UN, the Security Council issued a statement saying its members "condemned in the strongest terms the attacks" against the British embassy but did not threaten any action.

"What are you doing?"
She asked.
"Hunting Flies"
He responded.
"Oh. ! Killing any?"
She asked.
"Yep, 3 males, 2 Females," he replied.
Intrigued, she asked.
"How can you tell them apart?"
He responded,
"3 were on a beer can,
2 were on the phone! "

ReplyDeleteWhile Cain claims to have had a major fundraising windfall in the past six weeks, his cash collection operation up until that point had sputtered. He raised $5.4 million in the first nine months of 2011 — including a $675,000 personal loan; that total puts him well behind the likes of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
ReplyDeleteCain’s collapse is largely attributable to his campaign’s absolute inability to effectively rebut or respond to the allegations brought against him.
The latest example? Cain spokesman J.D Gordon insisting that the campaign is moving “full speed ahead” and that “[Cain] is not thinking of dropping out of the race” even as the candidate himself contradicts that message.
I Hope Obama Vetoes This

I've been called a terrorist for sitting quietly with my wife in a lawn chair at a Tea Party rally, American flag in hand.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the smell of it.

ReplyDeleteListening to Mark Levin. He is absolutely rudderless. Hewitt sense his man Romney may have a race on his hands.
ReplyDeleteRufus III !
ReplyDeleteI'll drink to that.
ReplyDeleteMight as well have a reason.
congratulations Rufus!
ReplyDeleteSalute
ReplyDeleteCain really jumped the shark thinking he could become president keeping that baggage hidden. Hell, if you’re stepping out there, you may as well let it all hang out instead of denying it with your wife wagging her head. Everyone just wants him to leave. Enough.
ReplyDeleteHow many do you have Mel?

ReplyDelete"with your wife wagging her head."
Gotta do the obligatory public humiliation of your spouse.
It's already stuck in her back, might as well turn it.
There was one recently (not talkin Edwards) whose wife let him do the solo mio sunset solo.
How many do you have Mel?
ReplyDeleteCan I borrow your gun?
Hm...Yeah, I really don't like people right now so one would be too many.
Except for my BFF. She can do no wrong in my eyes.
There was that crazy guv of North Carolina, but I think there was another.
ReplyDeleteIf your gonna go Latin, might as well find one that doesn't require the paper sack.
...just sayin.
Why can’t these guys handle it like a man and leave the wife out of it?
ReplyDeleteDo you have a particular target in mind or will it be mass murder?
ReplyDeleteI hear Cain is staying in, to win.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Rufus.
The thought of three of you is terrifying.

If possible, try to do it outside.

You don't even have a gun, I remember you saying that.
ReplyDeleteUse a Malaysian Kris Knife. Disembowel 'em.

Wait? Isn't Rufus to old to have a baby?
ReplyDeleteNo offense Rufus I just assumed.
ReplyDeleteRufus is one of these hard as grit birthers - drove himself all alone all the way to Chattanooga to the maternity ward at the hospital.

I was just told by L. Larson that Cain was staying in, now I'm told we don't know yet.
ReplyDeleteb
aw, personal is it?
ReplyDeleteLet's play a game. You tell me something about you first and I'll tell you something about me.
And while you polish that gun you have over there in the closet, I'll go fix another drink.

ReplyDeleteThe Geese
ReplyDeleteToday as I hang out the wash I see them again, a code
as urgent as elegant,
tapering with goals.
For days they have been crossing. We live beneath these geese
as if beneath the passage of time, or a most perfect heading.
Sometimes I fear their relevance.
Closest at hand,
between the lines
the spiders Imitate the paths the geese won't stray from,
imitate them endlessly to no avail:
things will not remain connected,
will not heal,
and the world thickens with texture instead of history,
texture Instead of place.
Yet the small fear of the spiders
binds and binds
the pins to the lines, the lines to the eaves, to the pincushion bush,
as If, at any time, things could fall further apart
and nothing could help them
recover their meaning. And If these spiders had their way,
chainllnk over the visible world,
would we be In or out? I turn to go back in.
There Is a feeling the body gives the mind
of having missed something, a bedrock poverty, like falling
without the sense that you are passing through one world,
that you could reach another
anytime. Instead the real
is crossing you,
your body an arrival
you know Is false but can't outrun. And somewhere in between
these geese forever entering and
these spiders turning back,
this astonishing delay, the everyday, takes place.
