Breaking Twitter: Markos says BIG news coming!! by pontificator Mon Nov 30, 2009 at 06:43:33 PM PST On twitter just now, Markos says: ***** Holy shit -- big news coming tomorrow or Wednesday. GOOD news, for a change.

36. The poll at the link is a real beauty ... |

Poll My favorite part of this email was:
"dear socialist fuckstick" "you are thusly a pro forma socialist", not understanding what "pro forma" means "SOCIALISM CANNOT WORK OR RUSSIA WOULD STILL EXIST" "you, sir, are a illegal immigrant. i dont give two shits whether you are an american citizen or not:" "go back to guatemala or whatever fucking middleeastern asshole you came from" "no proof, just science and that makes it true for you liberals" "i dont think you are a homo, just a homo enabler" "sincerely yours" This email can't possibly be real. It's a fake. | 20626 votes | Results

It's supposed to be long term and good news for progressives.
Is he finally going to stop-loss gay service members who are about to get the boot under DADT?

I hope it's the end of DADT. It has to be big. I mean, Markos TWEETED it, beginning with a profanity (how many liberals do that???), therefore his news must be of the utmost importance. :eyes:

49. Maybe it will be a Wells Fargo Wagon of good things, among them |
|
that Mark Sanford, David Vitter, and John Ensign will all step down in a trifecta news conference;
that evidence will emerge directly implicating Dick Cheney in the Plame/Wilson incident leading to Cheney's arrest, the first of many indictments for several yet-to-come offenses;
that Phil Donahue will return to cable news with a program on MSNBC;
that Antonin Scalia will resign, effective immediately, from SCOTUS;
that Roberts will resign, effective immeidately, from SCOTUS;
that a large pack of feral dogs has burst thru the sliding patio door at Clarence Thomas' house and dragged his sorry ass out into the wilderness and savagely dumped him into a bottomless hole never to be heard from again;
that Tom Cruise will finally get the behavioral health support he has needed for a good many years;
that three never-heard Nick Drake albums have been discovered in a London attic;
and
that a lab breakthrough has resulted in medical vaccines for HIV, most cancers, and most dementias.
