Dear Maine
I am sorry that your other Senator is also an idiot.
In an Associated Press interview in Portland, Snowe said it would be unfair to include a government-run health insurance option that would take effect immediately.

Calling Bullshit on US Health Care
A must see video.
But here’s an ugly little truth: we’re not getting single payer health care in this country anytime soon. in fact, I doubt we’re even going to get a watered down “public option”. and the reason for this is that the Democrats have never meant a word they said when they’ve talked about [...]
Deep Thought, Joke Edition
For years, the bar has been darkened by Bob, the grumpiest son of a bitch you could ever hope to meet, a man so foul-tempered he actually drives customers away. So one day, the bartender asks him, “Say pal, what’s your beef with the world anyway? All you do is sit here, get drunk, [...]

No Polite Way to Put It: Dana Milbank is a Whiney-Ass Titty Baby
Shorter Dana Milbank: WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Seriously, can the guy be MORE of a titty baby?
He sounds like that kid in fourth grade who was always kissing the teacher’s ass, the pedantic little fuck who was always pointing out that someone wasn’t using the right color crayon.
And I LOVE watching Pitney carry out in person the [...]
Dear Ayatollah Khatami…
there seemed little likelihood that the Iranian authorities would be swayed by the harsh words, as a senior cleric called for demonstrators to be punished “ruthlessly and savagely.”
At Friday prayers at Tehran University, a senior cleric, Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami, referred to the demonstrators as rioters and declared, “I want the judiciary to punish leading rioters [...]
Heartbroken Over Jackson? Here’s Help!
Tonight! Pickles! Old Time! Jugs!
And for the record, I don’t think Michael Jackson is any more dead than Ken Lay.

My plan is changing again. If I were to stay with the same plan from last year the premium would be going up by 26.48%. My new options are a plan that goes up 21.19% and basically stays the same (except my birth control [...]
