16. I have Netflix, Barrett-Jackson, other stuff to do, and I'm here tonight |

as are so many of us. I am pissed at the theft of Democracy. I am pissed at the insult we dealt to Ted Kennedy's memory,I am pissed that members of the Supreme Court once again decided against the people.

I've seen more pizza targets on DU than I find when I read fairy tales to my kid.

4. I live in MA, and I'm coping. |
|
I still think of us being represented by Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) and Sen. Ted Kennedy's Vacant Senate Seat (D-MA).
That little weasel Brown is just borrowing it until Capuano tears him in two in 2012.

21. Me too. I was disgusted yesterday, but after going out into the world... |

I saw that life was going on as normal.
The state hadn't exploded or fallen into the ocean.
Life goes on.
Maybe he'll turn out to be decent. Maybe not. If he doesn't, he'll no doubt be disposed of by the voters.

You must be kidding....Considering the sheer numbers, (Dems vs Rep) in Massachusetts, perhaps Scott Brown was voted to the seat for a reason?

Aren't you CUTE.
You honestly think Brown was voted in because Massachusetts is swinging further right? I suggest you take a hard look at some of the ancillary polling data. But, since you're about to get your ass blasted out of here AND you're a Freeper, I don't expect you will.

"I've been mad for fucking years, absolutely years, been over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands..."
"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..."

8. That implies that it was sane up until Tuesday. |
|
I don't think that's correct.

19. With everything this week, I'd say we could recover quickly - even with the loss of HCR. But with |
|
Supreme Court ruling today, all but most-chaste Democrat politician is now open to the highest corporate bidder.
Do you think the majority of Congressional Democrats have Progressives' best interests at heart? I question that logic to the Nth degree.
I hate to be so cynical, but looking at the shitty HCR Bill that came out of the Senate, with all the corporate payoffs & bennies, how can I possibly think anything else?

long about the time Obama announced Rahm Emmanual as his COS. It's been downhill around here ever since. I don't know WTF people expected. Whatever, the expectations were irrational and unreasonable.
