Posted on 09/18/12 at 12:52 pm in response to What’s wrong with what Romney said: from Thurston Howell to pandering

I've got a Tea Party neighbor out in western WI (actually, I've got lots of them, but only one that I can have a decent conversation with) with his I Support Walker sign still out from the summer, his Drain the Swamp Paul sign and his signs for the Madison races, but no Tommy Thompson or Romney. He said he's going to leave those lines blank before he'd support them. He'll get some votes but no enthusiasm. It's religious and it class-based.

My favorite Brother Jed and Sister Cindy story is from about 1983 (and maybe it was just Jed). Someone interrupted them to ask "what do you think about oral sex?" Jed, after a bit of a pause: "Would you eat pizza with your nose?"

Now what does "maximize the opportunity to offer proactive information on health and lifestyle" mean? It's an icebreaker? Speak English, please.

Posted on 08/10/12 at 09:01 am in response to T-Paw is now on 7 corporate boards

Now why would a CA investment company think T Paw could help steer the company? A career politician whose only jobs outside of government were make-work law positions lobbying the government he just came from? Pure and simple buying influence, is what it is. He's no reformer; he's as deep into the system as anyone could be.

More sports, please.

It's been a while, so refresh my memory, please. How many cops went to trial for their illegal actions?
