This is getting to be more fun than should be legal.

Danube of Thought

We are approaching the point where maybe revolution is an option.

Danube of Thought

Attaboy, John:

"Republicans will run on a platform of repealing President Obama's health care reform bill, the Republicans' Senate campaign chairman said today. NRSC Chairman John Cornyn, R-Tex., said that he prefers both to run against President Obama's health reform bill and to stop it in Congress, but that in the event that it passes Republicans will guarantee it remains the main issue of the 2010 election by promising to repeal it."

Choo choo ka choo.

You can't strap your children to the front end of a steam locomotive anymore. They're all behind fences in their parks for fear of liability.

Glenn Beck says Massa is about to blow the lid off of this administration, and will do it tomorrow on his show.

Now wouldn't that be fun? And how the administration must be scrambling to smear this guy.

Thomas Collins

Jane, I think if they smear him, it will be worse for them. And even though Massa is somewhat of a loose cannon, Massa is going to rattle some Dem cages.

I'm still in the "it's gonna pass and I'll eat crow if it doesn't" camp, but Massa helps move the prog society doomsday clock from 11:57 pm back to 11:55 pm.

Porchlight

I've been waiting for a fellow Dem to blow the whistle on these crooks for awhile now. Who knows, maybe Massa, with so little to lose at this point, is just the guy to do it.

Old Lurker

I hear you TC, but I'm still taking drink orders just in case.

Danube of Thought

I keep myself cheery by imagining the repeal campaign starting immediately and running until November 2012, and crowding everything else completely off the radar screen.

Wait till my 86-year-old lifelong Democrat mother-in-law, aka the Vile Banshee, learns that she's lost her Medicare Advantage thanks to the Dems.

There are 12 million more like her, and they ain't gonna be happy at all.

Then wait till she learns that her cohorts down in Florida got to keep theirs.

Thomas Collins

I'm not worried, OL. Trader Joe's in Brookline has low prices on great wine. I can supply the JOMers with plenty of Cab and Merlot and still have some left over to supply some corn chips and chipotle salsa!

I'll just remember not to put beans in the chili if Gmax is eating it! :-))

Clarice

Instead of an island we could take over the Napa Valley--all those fancy vineyards owned by yuppies are going under at the moment.
Imagine all these gorgeous JOM gams tramping out the vineyards where the grapes of wrath are stored....

Jane

Let's start with Nancy Pelosi's Napa spread. She will be in jail.

Clarice

Perfecto--and her is non-union.

daddy

Is that true Clarice?

Her employee's are non-union?

Why does that not surprise me.

J.R.

I don't know, if this was a set-up on trumped up charges why is this guy resigning? Don't get me wrong, I'm going to enjoy the show while it happens, but why couldn't he do it on the House floor instead from his home.

Buford Gooch

"I'll just remember not to put beans in the chili if Gmax is eating it! "

If one hadn't been following JOM regularly, one might wonder if there were a gas problem involved.

Old Lurker

That is true, Daddy.

Extraneus

We are approaching the point where maybe revolution is an option.

And all I did was advocate a little secession. :D

As for Massa, they obviously have the goods on him, but I have to agree it's hard to imagine what they threatened to do if he didn't resign by 5pm today that isn't still going to be done after his lack of contrite submissiveness. Pretty strange that he went through with the resignation after drawing his sword.

Bring on the hot blue on blue action!

MarkO

You say you want a revolution?

I'm already enlisted with DoT.

Clarice

daddy, that is true and she got the Farm workers Union award anyway. She and her husband also own a non union hotel I believe.
And then there's that govt land (is it at the presidio) they got their grimy paws on for a pittance.

Extraneus

But seriously, folks, can anyone here, man or woman, imagine being intimidated by a naked Rahm Emmanuel pointing fingers into one's chest?

centralcal

lol, Extraneus!

In other news, I read somewhere today that John Harwood (CNBC and NY Times) is having an affair with Senator Maria Cantwell.

MaryD

LOL, Extraneous! Specially since he is just over five feet tall, and most of us JOMers know all of those words and have done at least some of them.

Jane

But seriously, folks, can anyone here, man or woman, imagine being intimidated by a naked Rahm Emmanuel pointing fingers into one's chest?

He's so short that I would laugh.

In other news, I read somewhere today that John Harwood (CNBC and NY Times) is having an affair with Senator Maria Cantwell.

I saw him on MSNBC this morning perverting the news. I try to turn into Morning Joe every day until I can't stand it. I bet I see 2 maybe 3 minutes a day.

narciso

Here's the Cantwell/Harwood link, in the LUN

E. Nigma

Jane
Turning into Morning Joe must take some powerful juju. I hope it's not painful, as you say "until I can't stand it". Couldn't you just stay who you are??

Extraneus

Obama Confuses Decades, Inflates Estimated Health Care Savings by $868B

And as for Rahm Emmanuel's intimidating chest pointing, who among us wouldn't see to it that he drew back a stump?

Extraneus

Does anyone like Joe Scarborough? I've listened to his radio show a number of times, and I've always found myself waiting for Mika's comments. The conservative demand is obviously large enough that not only poseurs like Bill O'Reilly can tap into it.

No offense to Scarborogh or O'Reilly fans. I just find their faux moderate schtick a bit tedious.

centralcal

Extraneus - I listened to Scarborogh two or three times during the Dan Rather, forged Bush documents fiasco. I thought he did a fairly good job then. Haven't watched him since, only viewed clips of him - usually making an *ss of himself. I consider him to be gender neutral in his political persuasion (trying to put is as politely as I can).

Jim Miller

So our junior senator is back to her old tricks, is she?

Some years ago Cantwell was named in a divorce suit. A former boyfriend of hers was getting married and she had one last fling with him a week or so before the marriage. As you would expect, that did not strengthen the marriage.

This reminds me a bit of a woman I knew in graduate school. She had had one affair with a married graduate student before I got there. And then when a friend of mine came back from vacation engaged, she suddenly started pursuing him. (She hadn't shown any interest in him before.)

narciso

His synaptic collapse seem to have happened after that period, going panicky over Katrina
and buying into the Iraqi civil war

I like to see where they are going. Soon enough they walk over a cliff and lose me, but I try. I love the format - sitting around a table, but the content is often ridiculous. And I really like Willie Geist for some reason.

Barry Dauphin

Where was Massa's cellphone camera?

daddy

And for the record,

Fred Thompson is unlistenable, but his wife Jerry, besides being great to look it, is the current brains of that duo. At 2 am when I click over, she's the only one who has conviction and can state a point succinctly and correctly. Go Jerry, (however you spell your name).
