I really have to commend you. This is one of the few posts here that both Obama and Hillary supporters can agree on. Well done!

The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover ?

...walk into a bar.

Bartender says, "What is this, a joke?"

It reminds me of the scene in Forrest Gump when Forrest is at the anti-war rally, and just as he begins speaking the power gets pulled from the speakers, then the next thing you hear is Forrest saying, "and that's all I've got to say about the War in Vietnam".

The (not-so-) funny thing is, I think Chairman Dean has been using this letter as his action agenda!

WTF happened to the lede op?

I think the post is a setup to a dirty joke.

Howard Dean, the Clintons, Lanny Davis, and Reverend Wright all walk into a room in Denver just before the Democratic National Convention. And four beautiful scantily clad women come in. So the first one walks up to Dean and says, Chairman Dean, what would you like me to do for you?

And he says . . .

[long vulgar section of post deleted by TPM software]

. . . so after the last woman gets up, Reverend Wright says, God damn you, Lanny Davis! And Davis laughs, takes off his mask, and says, I don't have a problem with you saying that, I just think the American people do! At which point they all laugh together, the scantily clad women walk out, and they all lived happily ever after.

Help: TPM staff publishes only a few lines of my blogs
I tried unsuccessfully four times to get TPM staff to address the problem I’m having with my blogs. Only a few lines of them get published, and when a MORE hyperlink does appear, it goes back to the few lines. I can never get to the entire piece in each blog. This was especially vexing when I achieved Recommended Reader Blog status and notified all my friends and relatives.

In frustration, I’m putting this notice up in every conceivable spot at TPM that I can. Help! I’m trapped in TPM Hell. User name: johnhughmcfadden; email: johnhughmcfadden@hotmail.com

Truly disturbing that *2* posts with the same problem is zero content now occupy the "most recommended" list.

What does this tell us?

- TPM readers have a sense of humor.

- It is a slow news day.

- Trolls love neutral posts that prevent real substance from popping up.

- TMP needs to fix their software!

- People will read anything short enough.

- Pack mentality rules.

Any others?

Gee, I long ago gave up trying to do a reader's post, especially after Andrew promised by e-mail to help, but then stranded me, I guess forever, in e-mail and reader post exile......

Can I safely assume that is where some of my comments go when they fail to appear within oh say an hour or two? into the Bizarroblogosphere?

You know, sometimes with Baby Smurf you leave out toys and books for him to play with, and he'll go right to them. And sometimes he uses them in rather unusual ways, and sometimes he starts teething and accuses the Fisher Price Piano of bias, but still you can direct him. And sometimes when you don't, when he is confronted with the empty space of his floor, he just goes over to his sock drawer and starts pulling everything out, then pulls all the books and toys off of his shelf, and then starts taking the laundry out the hamper and what you have then reminds me a lot of....something.
