OPEN THREAD: Joker style
Ghost of Dude 
One interesting item for discussion is Obama’s chances at re-election and the dems chances to hold onto congress in 2010. This guy discusses that, and his experience on Fox’s morning show:
There was just no pretense of trying to do anything even vaguely resembling the news. I’m not reflexively anti-FOX; in fact, I’d had a couple of good experiences last year on Shepherd Smith and on their business channel. But as for their morning program: Wow. I’ve never met people more terrified of what might happen if they actually tried to engage in a rational discussion.
Personally, I think the dems will be lucky to hold onto anything resembling their current margin in the house, and will almost certainly lose their 60-seat senate majority. But I still like Obama’s chances in 2012.
Why I heart Rachel Maddow
Rachel, Dick Armey, Tom Daschle and Tom Coburn are on a roundtable on Meet the Press right now. Rachel slams Dick (in his mouth) Armey and he is speechless when she connects his group ‘Freedom Works’ to the Teabagger coalition that posts videos of violence on their website encouraging it. Daschle just quoted Jon Stewart by saying insurance companies are like the lottery, “Send in your forms and hope you are covered.” Classic. This is one of the best episodes yet, and we have another 30 minutes.
X-Tian doesn’t like BJ’s or the 1st Amendment
The 1st Amendment doesn’t guarantee you will get a hummer, but it doesn’t stop you from asking.
This letter to the editor made my week, on many levels;
I saw in a Wal-Mart parking lot a bumpersticker that said “I Love Jesus” with “Jesus” crossed out and “Blowjobs” written in over it. As a Christian I found these totally offensive so who do I sue, press charges against or government official do I talk to to get these offensive views off the streets?
Trust me, bub, there is a lot of neo-con, rightwinger, x-tians I would love to sue over some of the BS they spew, but guess what, the first amendment gives us the right to ‘offend’ each other, whether you like it or not.
Now why don’t you go get a BJ and relax.
Belated Photo postings and such
This is from last Thursday at Nutty’s North. Castle and Scorpion Child played. This is the lead singer of SC belting it out (Photo: Bill Thompson)
This is I with the two blondes from Australia (Josie and Hayley). I didn’t even know they served red wine in Nutty’s? (Photo Bill Thompson). BTW, my new saying is “I’m in a pickle”
Okay, this is really a belated photo from New Year’s Eve, but I love the artistic contrast of the neon lights in the background (whatever) (Photo Mike Fleming)
