Compromised
If you knew Denny from Cedar Rapids like I do, you’d know him to be an unrepentant punner of longstanding. He recently noticed that we have POTUSes and SCOTUSes, but nothing for Congress. His suggestion? COITUS, Congress Of Idiots, The United States.
That works for me but now I’m stuck because I’m trying to figure out how to change POTUS to PUTA. And SCOTUS to SCROTUM.
Because that would work for me really well.
Krugman: the President surrenders
But hey — global markets are up so this is like win, win, win, right?
Bill Scher, Robert Borosage, and Sam Pizzigati
Our new League of Extraordinary Congressman
emptywheel on our soulless business community
Matt Stoller: What Presidency?
Elizabeth Warren for President?
I finally watched Casino Jack last night. Nothing’s changed. Absolutely nothing has changed. If this was Pakistan, the Democratic party would be obliged to slay Obama to preserve the honor of our clan. Republican honor? Not so much, not when they refuse to wash the shit off their dicks (or even zip up their pants).

News not about fucking money (quite so much):
Pam Geller doubles down on her love for Breivik (and no, you’re not missing anything: the mainstream media is giving Geller a full and unconditional pardon on her relationship with Breivik)
Rick Perry wholly owned (no wonder Republican pundits can’t wait for him to join in, the other candidates suffer from loose agendas)
Pawlenty courting oil money to fund fake grassroots
No, we shouldn’t punish lawyers in secret (or doctors, or financial firms or court settlements or any fucking one or thing else)
Standing up for the rights of contrails (because seriously, we’ve had worse Julys and if you don’t believe me, check out the average temps from the Mesoproterozoic era)

DM Register concerned that GOP fundraising is lagging well behind 2008. ??
My guess would be that Republicans are spending less on newspaper ads, and that is most certainly cause for alarm in some circles.

Uh oh, this is going to piss off Rush: the ChiTrib is now disseminating pollution alerts along with their heat index.
Stupid newspaper. Long before man arrived in North America, trees and bushes were farting constantly, not to mention the bison.

Etc.:
The Is Paul Dead? jokes were getting old over forty years ago
Sure, now that the statute of limitations has long since passed, Paul Allen dishes on Bill Gates (the reviewer, btw, goes way the fuck out of his way to frame Allen’s book as score settling, Bill Gates still being the most effective and vindictive antitrust violator of all time, i.e., respect must be shown)
Tis the season . . . for stone fruit
Bibi, the musical (and some Gnarls Barkley to help cut that rancid taste left by Bibi)
SCROTUM = Supreme CouRt Of The United Mendicants ?
SCRum Of The Unrepetant Mutants?
President Undertaking Tasks for Assholes?
Yes, now we are talking. That could work beyond MN even.
The crumbling neglect..and hapless drivers without a clue.
Shit like that is perfect for a Monday.
Let it go man. Bravo!
An important footnote to the Debt Limit bill, courtesy of Kucinich:
The Progressive stalwart, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) emerged from the meeting distributing copies of the Congressional Budget Office’s parsing of the report. He had highlighted a line noting that the proposed defense spending caps would not apply to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Go ahead, try to convince me I should vote for Obama in 2012. What a dick.
