“I’d be on it but I’ve got the lawn growing into the azaleas and the cats to feed…”

[rolls eyes] you think you have problems…you have never seen anything like the grasshoppers I have. They are a plague of biblical proportions and it never diminishes. Everything in my garden is eaten to rags. And there is nothing – NOTHING – that gets rid of them permanently. I can derive down the population by about 1/2% for about half a day with a biological agent that costs – are you ready? – $50 a bag. I’ve spent $250 this summer so far and it was wasted. I’m not buying any more because it works alright – on the population that is here at the moment I lay it down. They die, 5 million more appear in 10 minutes flat.

Greg – more interesting to know who the attendees were would be to know who was doing the briefings. I’d be on it but I’ve got the lawn growing into the azaleas and the cats to feed…

This should work out well for Republicans. I really think they should campaign on their 4 page bullet point health care plan. That would really send shock waves throughout the electorate. Viva Bush!

You know, I was very happy yesterday to see the president mention that he was now being given ownership of the economy and saying, “Give it to me.” The GOP is betting that the stimulus will fail and that Americans don’t want real health care reform and that they don’t believe global warming is a threat. Talk about marching against the tide of history!

So basically, ignore science, basic economic theory and the health of Americans and continue doing what we’ve been doing.

I think this is excellent advice for GOPers. After all, Pelosi keeps, you know, winning her elections.

“Nice way to attack her indirectly if I must say.”

Nice insight, sgwhite.

I wonder how happy they were to “leak” that they were training their candidates to not act like Speaker Pelosi. Nice way to attack her indirectly if I must say.

They keep pushing on Pelosi and they are going to get such a pushback.

They forget – Nancy Pelosi is the first woman Speaker of the house and they’re just killing themselves that much more with women. And the only reason they spend so damn much time on Pelosi is because she’s a woman – I honestly believe that.

So to recap: they’ve alienated people with college degrees and intellects, minorities, women, and they’re working on alienating everyone in America they haven’t quite managed to drive away yet. Sounds like a plan to me.
