Fuck its silent in here.......

I was talking to Tony last night and saying that eighty to ninety percent of everything I experience here in America is, to a degree at least, familiar to me.  Sarah Palin, though, falls squarely into the other ten to twenty percent.  I just cannot comprehend her, or any of what she says and does, in any way.

That makes you a lot like most Americans who I think (for my own sanity) view her as a hilarious sideshow, a what will she say next type of thing. Then there are the rest of the people who actually think she should hold office and make important decisions. These people are not anyone you would ever want to be associated with and therefore pat yourself on the back.

Oleg explained that other 10 to 20 percent was due to people called "republicans". That's his theory anyway. It seems like they are behind the Palin phenomenon.

I refuse to believe that good people are behind this. I maintain that if I were a Republican I'd be furious, constantly, that this woman was attached to my political party.

Weinergate. His performance in this press conference is beyond amazing.  For a guy whose account got hacked, he sure acts like a guy who accidentally hit "@" instead of "d"...

I thought that Weiner showed amazing patience.  The only reason that Weiner didn't take a swing at the guy he called a jackass was the fact that the guy appeared to be 7 feet tall.  That is a good reason for patience.  But the guy was a jackass.   Asking really perceptive questions.  "Is the reason that you are not answering my question is because it is true?"   "Yes.  Next question."   A New York Congressman is going to send a picture of his dick to a stranger 3500 miles away?  Give me a reason.  

Um... because he's a dude?  A dude who likes women?  You could also ask, if you were so inclined, why he was following this "stranger" on Twitter.  A few people have done so, but no answers seem to be forthcoming.  Even CNN (in the original link) can sense there's something going on here.

There is a more innocent explanation - that he simply has a ghost-tweeter, that he doesn't write them himself, and that the ghost-tweeter is the one whose dick pic went out - but the word "hack" implies a security issue that, given his earlier commentary on the subject, one would think he'd be interested in investigating.

Was it actually a dick pic?  I thought it was just a bulge pic.

Whither "Dold with a D, not an E"?

Maybe Dold with a D will move to Glencoe. Maybe Section 242 will mount another run. His wife never participated in any check-kiting schemes, did she?

I am now in Schachowsky's district, although the 10th begins not quite 300 yards from my front yard.

Mike Quigley now represents Rogers Park AND Bolingbrook. Luis Gutierrez's district gets thin in spots that even an injured Alfonso Soriano could cover it.

The technology exists. Just get a computer to draw a random map based on population.

THIS.  Make it so that neither party has the power to influence how the lines are redrawn.

Agreed.  I believe Florida and California - home to a combined 80 congressional seats by 2013 - have approved non-partisan redistricting boards.

80 out of 435...hey, it's a start, America!!

I wasn't being pedantic; I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing anything (||).

Hopefully this turns out to be a massive scandal that becomes a reference point for all future scandals, if only so that down the line I'll be able to turn on the TV and hear some pundit declare that "it looks like we've got another Weiner on our hands".

BEN STEIN WAS RIGHT!

BEN STEIN WAS RIGHT!

Putin really is dead set on getting Russia's Cold War swagger back.

The American peoples ability to know the truth of these things, and as always, has been shouted out by their propaganda media organs leaving them in danger of not being prepared for the horrific economic collapse of their nation now believed will much sooner than later.

I just took a case involving a high school teacher whose student opened a phony Facebook page in the teacher's name and filled it with salacious stuff that could easily get the teacher fired.

Well, that sucks for that guy.

What morph is trying to say is that his investigation of Weiner will not rest until Drudge and Breitbart can confirm that the dong in question does *not* belong to Common.
