Wow, back to work today, and I’m just not feeling it. I’m looking forward to today about as much as Martha Coakley is, I think. At least maybe we can stop hearing how the Democrats have a “filibuster-proof” majority (as if Joe Lieberman was a Democrat). And let’s not forget Robert Byrd is about a million years old, too. Oh well, on the bright side, for me as an individual, I don’t think my life will change either way. Assuming my life not changing can actually be considered a “bright” side. Beats living in Haiti.
Speaking of Haiti, Matt Taibbi slams David Brooks’ recent column on the disaster down there.
One would have thought a column on the Haitian’s lack of an achievement culture could maybe wait until after the bodies were cold, but… hey, who am I to judge?
Personally, I think Haiti could lift its Satan’s curse by changing it’s name to Lovi (plus they need to lay off that Voodoo stuff and quit with the Zombies).
Oh well, as you can tell, I’m not feeling particularly inspired today, so I guess I’d better just go get ready for work before I resort to talking about sports and weather.
The Dems never had a filibuster-proof margin in the Senate, just another repig saw that the media bit and embraced to make them look ineffectual. Maybe just as well if it goes away.
Just trying to stay ahead of Sophie.
Oh my! I just heard the new VA gov might get rid of the state’s ABC stores. I’d think that was a pretty good revenue stream for the state.
:40: :omg: :alc:
Heard Coakley made a mistake about a baseball player and that was bad for her campaign. Don’t know a bunch about her frankly, but isn’t that just evidence of how politics is based on patriarchal themes? I mean, is that really an important factor in electing representatives who make decisions about federal judges, war and health care?
SP, sounds like red hook should be tweeting for up to the minute news.
And I didn’t know Elway was a thug of thugs. 😮

But Lovi is cursed too. She’s trapped on an island with six other castaways.
:rofl2:
Oh, I wouldn’t go that far. He was a likeable enough quarterback who was affectionately called “Mr Ed”, and “Biff” by local sports columnists for years. He never stuck it in your face like shannahan and Pat Bowlen did ( and every NFL team owner) about his republican ties until he’d retired.

Three types of Monsanto genetically modified corn are under scrutiny in the wake of a new study published by the International Journal Of Biological Sciences which found that rats ingesting the corn were subject to statistically significant amounts of organ toxicity. These three types — Mon 863, insecticide-producing Mon 810, and Roundup® herbicide-absorbing NK 603 — have been approved for consumption in the US and several countries in Europe.

Probably a rerun but it’s alright, MA, I’m only bleeding.
Can’t quit it yet
