With nothing much really going on in Congress yesterday (other than Republicans laughing their asses off at how simple it was to have their way with Barack “Neville Chamberlain” Obama – and licking their robust chops while wiping the spittle from their enormous jowls as they salivate in anticipation of “negotiations” yet to come), Michele Bachmann took time out to demonstrate proper teabagging technique to reporters. This, apparently, is the secret to the success of her marriage.
“God appeared to me in a vision,” the Congresswoman said, “and He spoketh unto me, ‘Michele, honey, Marcus has a void that you’re just not equipped to fill. But there’s something else you can do for him.’
“So I close my eyes, open my mouth, and then he, well, here, let me demonstrate….”
And afterwards they go out and get another foster child. No boys, though – only teenage girls.
“Marcus has the boys from his ministry. These girls are my reward from Lord God Almighty, for my service unto Him.”
It’s a touching story of two people in love. Or something.
As far as anything else going on in the world, I am officially in denial. Wake me up in 2016 (if we get through that whole end of the Mayan calendar thing).
My prediction: in order to avoid automatic cuts to Medicare brought on by the failure to reach a “compromise” with their Republican counterparts, Democratic members of the “Super Congress” committee on debt reduction will agree to massive cuts in Medicare, Social Security, and the National School Lunch Program, issuing the statement that “_it’s not the deal we would have wanted, but they threatened to be say mean things about us if we didn’t agree to it._ ”
The media will report that Republicans will also feel the pain, as many of them are heavily invested in the Indonesian rat farms that supply much of the meat provided to schools by the NSLP (although a lot of their losses are expected to be recouped by providing MREs to the military).
I like Tea. :tongue:
My T-cells might be a little damaged, though
Some enterprising robins have built a nest under an eave on the porch. They have raised 3 litters of robins so far this summer. I have no idea how they have the energy to raise so many young.
And, speaking of birds, some Chinese scientists now think archaeopteryx is not an early bird but rather a birdlike dinosaur.

So that means he doesn’t get the worm?
OK, I can’t contain myself anymore. Something about that pic says to me “Praise the Lord! I’m not preggers again!”
