Foist.
I don't expect much enlightened thought from a state that thinks (inanimate) dildos are evil.
"If the US government enforced its banking laws like it did its park regulations, we wouldn't be
in this damn park in the first place." OCCUPY.!!
Animated dildos are heavenly?
Probably funner, hence eviler. Good point though. :)

yeah, I'm still hacked at the Supremes

your name's Lebowski, Lebowski... and your wife is Bunny
I was thinking Motown (Supremes), wondering what the heck they did.

... I kinda like it :)
Corruption favors the wealthy.
"Erin Brockovich".
Lawyers from the power company show up to make a lousy "offer" of compensation still insisting the community's ground water is safe. Lawyer reaches for water flask on conference table and Brockovich tells her (falsely) of the water's origins. Lawyer declines to drink. (Tee-hee.)
We're not going to get very far if you keep injecting logic into the conversation!
yeah :)
... and you throw it in with the Supremes and the GMC and it's a fun puzzle. Well worth the effort.

are all so cool. thanks.

The BBC did a good show on East Jerusalem the other night. Very maddening (to me). You rarely, or never, see this kind of programme on US news. The article link is here.

Erroll Southers on withdrawing from TSA consideration
Jan. 21: The Interview: Erroll Southers, former Obama nominee for TSA head, grants his first television interview exclusively to Rachel Maddow to talk about why he withdrew his name from consideration and what approach he'd take to defending the United States against terrorism.
Some stuff you can't make up!
should be revolting against the Supreme Court, the corporations and their right wing representatives. They are the real enemies of the teabaggers and the rest of us.
Olbermann to Jon Stewart: Call me
Jan. 22: Countdown’s Keith Olbermann responds to Jon Stewart picking apart his Special Comment on Sen.-elect Scott Brown, R-Mass., with an invitation: Play the name-calling game, or invite Olbermann on “The Daily Show.”
Some stuff you can't make up!
Stewart was pretty funny though. I'm sure they'll kiss and make up.

Greener weapons that do less harm to human life.
LOL!
Isn't that what the neutron bomb does? Kills the people but leaves the buildings sparkling clean! (not sure what happens to the plants and animals)
There seems to be a very sad poetry to the neutron bomb.
It kills the source of destruction. If it were real (it wasn't), when combined with the reality of mutually assured destruction, it offers the perfect solution to the problem.
... or maybe it's just the *train wreck* or possibly the *stinky pinky*...
Corruption favors the wealthy.
I take the train wreck. If your pinky stinks, you probably shouldn't stick it in there anymore.
some TV channels are rated better than others is because the shit on the other channels is worse than the ones that get the ratings.
Obama's Ohio TownHall Meeting
Democracy is too important to be entrusted to politicians.
Rise Up!
Protest!
China's pissed about us having the moral ground, for once. Russia's a bit confused about our missiles near Poland's border. Yeah, I really want everyone to have a gun so my(hypothetical) kids could be used for target-practice during a sleep-over, too...Looks like Bernanke is no longer the man of the year with our senators. It says it all about the reps of our politicians when, given the chance, heads of certain corporations don't want anything to do with 'em. In fact, they've actually signed a petition for public financing. Petraeus waited a while to call out those fundy gun manufacturers. Barry's spin on the whole thing. Hawaii approved civil unions. Cali Dems try to bring back single-payer. Dodd continues to give shitty advice.
...over the last 300 years or so, I'd say that the Russian Foreign Minister is playing stupid.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
Still want health care reform, just not Obamacare.
What a story

Hey John Edwards - You're an asshole. Just had to say it.
He might be an asshole, but at least he's our asshole...wait a sec...that didn't come out sounding quite as well as I thought it would...

NOBODY 2012
I believe 1967 is when most states officially gave up enforcing the laws, but they were not removed. By Wikipedia, "and other US states banned Asians from marrying whites until 1967." I haven't finished my coffee yet, so I can't remember, but I believe there was a famous mixed-race couple in the 60's Civil Rights movement that was threatened with arrest and forced dissolution of marriage.
The laws were not officially removed, though, to "make a moral point" and "think of the children" and such. I remember that day, though. The vote was about 54-46 to remove the law, which is a close vote. I was shocked. My supervisor was from Tennessee, and didn't understand why I was shocked.
Loving v. Virginia, and the couple in the cartoon looks a lot like Mildred and Richard loving.

I didn't catch a reference to Alabama, so I'm not sure what needed correcting.
Goldman Sachs under investigation
Corruption favors the wealthy.
"...mistakes had been made in the past. Many of those individuals no longer work for GS..."
READ: "We got ours. Our best and brightest retired early with severance packages so massive they required special 'Oversized Load' permitting on U.S. interstates..."

"...investigations expected to conclude late 2012."
READ: U.S. elections set to occur a maximum of ten days before final report. Not that that makes much difference, really, but appearances matter.

Too big to be prosecuted?
If they are too big to fail, and very fragile, why would you want to do them any harm?
is enough for DUI conviction:

In Canada (Ontario anyway), the law is "care and control of a vehicle". If you have the keys and you're near it... (vehicle includes bicycles too). I once got a warning for drunken bike riding, a charge goes on your driving record. They told me to get off and walk it home, so they were being nice.
