6. Thank you for a weird mental image.

I was doing some checking on PFC. Chelsea. Manning's wikileaks and trying to find the gun camera footage of the assassination....I mean, friendly fire accident with the Iraqi journalists. So, I've been looking a gun camera video for a couple hours; and then you post that phrase........

Thank you, my morning was kinda depressing.

3. George to Jeb, "Ya know, we never did finish up with that North Vietnam place . . .

If you're lookin' for a country where ya can give Halliburton some contracts, I mean, fight evil-doers. Heh, heh."

4. REPUBLICANS MUST BE SO PROUD!!!

5. I wish Baby Bush would speak up in support of MORE Republican candidates

He should travel the country speaking for them and make commercials and billboards where he stands side by side with them.

That way, Democrats wouldn't have to spend a penny to get elected and could just go on vacation or take a nap.

14. one thing about wingnuts

Goopers and ideologues - they all have this peculiar blank look on their faces and in their eyes when they launch into their propaganda. It's like their brain has to shut down its connection to reality in order to recite the talking points, so the eyes have to go blank - they are all up in their heads somewhere and do not want the real world to wake them up.

[TBF]

17. Did you know Robert LaFollette started out as a Repug -

but I have to believe he is spinning in his grave watching the current embarrassments in Wisconsin.


From wiki -

Robert Marion "Fighting Bob" La Follette, Sr. (June 14, 1855 – June 18, 1925) was an American Republican (and later a Progressive) politician. He served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, was the Governor of Wisconsin, and was also a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin (1906 to 1925). He ran for President of the United States as the nominee of his own Progressive Party in 1924, carrying Wisconsin and 17% of the national popular vote.

His wife Belle Case La Follette and sons Robert M. La Follette, Jr. and Philip La Follette led his political faction in Wisconsin into the 1940s. La Follette has been called "arguably the most important and recognized leader of the opposition to the growing dominance of corporations over the Government" and is one of the key figures pointed to in Wisconsin's long history of political liberalism.

He is best remembered as a proponent of progressivism and a vocal opponent of railroad trusts, bossism, World War I, and the League of Nations. In 1957, a Senate Committee selected La Follette as one of the five greatest U.S. Senators, along with Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun, and Robert Taft. A 1982 survey asking historians to rank the "ten greatest Senators in the nation's history" based on "accomplishments in office" and "long range impact on American history," placed La Follette first, tied with Henry Clay.[3] Robert La Follette is one of five outstanding senators memorialized by portraits in the Senate reception room in US Capitol. One of America's top schools for public affairs, located at the University of Wisconsin-Madison bears his name.
