Orly is a Moldovian national, now living in Orange County, California (sometimes known as the Talladega of the West). No word yet on whether she has a birth certificate or not, but her law degree is of the mail order variety which may explain the legal acumen that the judge cited.

Saxby "Jack Abramoff's buddy" Chambliss? Saxby "5 draft deferments" Chambliss? That Saxby Chambliss? This is not a man who should use the word humility.

As a Democrat, I must say these fellows aren't. They are representatives of the Losers Party.

Kris, this is your white left-wing cousin Arthur Broughton. My nephew is also a Chris Broughton. I deplore the abuse of our name by a gun-toting idiot. And I am thrilled to share a name with you, Kris. I read your blog regularly and appreciate your insights. Keep it up.

Thanks,

artwrite Commented on Bachmann: No Government Control Over My Body! by Eric Kleefeld

2009-08-21T15:46:09Z

My mother's admonition "think before you speak" applied only to those with the capacity to do so. Barbi Bachmann is not blessed with that capacity. My new admonition, this one directed at the news media, is "Think before you repeat the utterances of those who cannot think."

artwrite Commented on Gibbs Denies That White House Is Giving Up On Bipartisanship by Rachel Slajda

2009-08-19T18:38:07Z

"We were for the public option that got in the way of the bipartisanship that wasn't attainable even without a public option. So now the public option isn't that important even though the president ran for president on health care reform including a public option, because now we have cut deals with pharma and the AMA and everything is okay, except that the people who elected us are starting to feel betrayed because they are starting to figure out that we're a lot less liberal than they thought we were. In fact, we're a lot less liberal and Bill and Hil. You really should have know that." Anonymous White (really white) House source.

artwrite Commented on Man With Assault Rifle Outside Obama Event: 'We Will Forcefully Resist' by Rachel Slajda

2009-08-18T18:52:39Z

"We will forcefuly resist making sense. You'll have to pry the sense from our cold, dead hands. We are uneducated and as stupid as sticks. We don't know a good idea from a bad one, a truth from a lie, or an alligator from the assholes we are. Somethimes we are so angry we don't know whether to kill or cry. In our hearts we know something is wrong, and we can't imagine that it is us. This president isn't one of us. Maaybe if we strap on our AR-15s will scare his skinny black ass just a little bit. At the least, we'll feel like somebody for just a minute. Then we'll go back to our trailers and tract houses and have another Bud, and brag about how we showed him. One day we're gonna have to shoot somebody, but not vet."

Harry's "impressive war chest" may be why it's so difficult to get meaningful legislation through the senate. The boy's been bought and we Democrats don't need him.

artwrite Commented on Politico: Baucus Says No Bill By August Recess by Brian Beutler

2009-07-31T14:58:58Z

I've said this before, but it bears repeating:

There once was a Baucus named Max,

Whose ethics it's said were quite lax.

He fished in Montana,

With friends from Humana,

For money to fill up his PACs.

Thanks for the feedback. Somehow, I think Hillary wouldn't have been the one to deliver healthcare reform. The mens' club that is the Senate would have paid even less attention to her than it does Barack. The framers of the constitution gave us the senaate because they didn't trust the people. It is time for it to just go away.

2009-07-21T15:41:32Z

Max Baucus, in other words, has solicited and accepted bribes from corporate healthcare interests? And he's not on his way to jail? Mighty peculiar laws you have down there in Backwater (or as we think of it, Whoreshington).

Oh, yeah. One more thing. Mary Landrieu: you are the last literate person on the planet who is against legislation to control global warming. Please explain. You would prefer that New Orleans would sink all the way into the Gulf? Are you so flush with oil money? Or what?

Okay, Harry. This is your last chance. If you cannot control Mary Landrieu, Ben Nelson and the New Day Dixiecrats, it is time for you to get the hell out of the way. Lead or leave.

Pass Single Payer or Public Option heathcare now. No triggers, no co-ops, no monkey business. Get it done, Harry. Got it?

This line of reasoning (proposed by the insurance industry) should "trigger" a recall of Senator Snowe. Likewise, Senator Feinstein.

2009-04-29T15:58:41Z

Harmon's worried that she's perceived as too close to AIPAC so she hires Lannie Davis, AIPAC's best friend, to be her media advisor. Because Avigdor Lieberman wasn't available?

Ms. Bachmann has the approximate IQ of a teapot. When she gets warmed up she makes a shrill noise. Minnesota, please take her off the stove.
