As you’re swept into the dustbin of history while clinging to old, discredited ideas, just repeat to yourself, “I’m a progressive!”
The best way Obama can help the jobs situation is by stopping trying to do stuff, but that’s asking way to much of him.
For the record, when I take a mindlessly contrarian position and make a dumb argument for it, it’s satire.

Liberals’ problem with basic common sense on the budget is that if everyone thinks it’s true, you don’t get to sound smart for espousing it.
If “emotional” discussion caused Dems to label opponents “terrorists”, they should produce empty Haagen-Dazs containers as evidence.
I see the dictionary labels “jerk” as slang for a stupid or naive person, but I only see people use it as slang for a mean person anymore. I bring it up as I was trying to find a synonym for “jerk”, but a traditional thesaurus was useless in that regard. By it’s own definition, it was a jerk.
Steve Martin’s movie “The Jerk” is the only example I know of “jerk” being used in the old sense. He was a nice guy; he wasn’t a jerk!
I should note that, when it comes to vulgarity, one’s own opinion isn’t usually the most relevant one.
Buttercup was sad when she woke up and only dad was there. Became happy when she realized dog was there, though.
Dog was neutral on feelings for Buttercup until she realized Buttercup will hand her food when we’re not paying attention
Key to winning a baby’s affection is being furry and aloof.
So Marvel is about to find out if America is ready for a half-black, half-Hispanic Ben Reilly.
Oh yes maybe they could change his name from Spiderman to Zorro-Zero or Multicultural Man or Ethnodude or Libtar-eet because the rumor is he’s going to be gay as well. Something for young hispanic/black males to look up to, I guess, their role models being what they are. Heaven forbid someone at Marvel should come up with a new original idea. They haven’t had one of those in 30-40 years. At least they haven’t had a good original idea.
On another more interesting subject, just wait until Princess Buttercup or PB as I like to call her starts try to walk. The dog will be finding fun, new places to hide. It’s hysterical the chaos one small baby can cause. Have fun.
My dog is better than yours! Furry, but not aloof! Rather, she forces you to pet her. That’s the only way to describe it.
In regards to politics, I have little to say. I want them all to go away forever.
“So Marvel is about to find out if America is ready for a half-black, half-Hispanic Ben Reilly.” Also known as the ghey black Spider-dude Ben Dover.
A long time ago I was washing my car when my then two year old son toddled up. He dipped a sponge in the gritty muddy water pooling from the side of the driveway and proceeded to “wash” and sand the paint from my car. He proudly announced “I helped.” Same thing is happenning at the White House right now.

Is this your way of saying, “I’m sorry” for a fight with SarahK?
Marvel’s new character will be Ben Dover rumor has it…
Liberals’ problem with basic common sense on the budget is that if everyone thinks it’s true, you don’t get to sound smart for espousing it.
Which is why CIA agents, FBI agents, cops, U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines are always the bad guys in movies. For the SHOCK VALUE! Although the moment one of these walks on screen you know he’s bad. (I think the military in Captain America got a pass because of FDR.)

Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t think of another instance when the people paying for something immediately become terrorists when they question the validity of what they’re supposed to buy. I guess with the government the customer is always wrong…and a terrorist.
And if you want to talk about your oath of office, I’m here to tell you face to face, President Obama, that you violated that oath when you stripped this country of its muscles – when you deliberately played upon the fear and fatigue of the people and told them they could remove that fear by the stroke of a pen. ~ J.M. Scott
@USSJC: Marvel’s new character will be Ben Dover rumor has it…his sidekick will be Phil McCracken.
“The best way Obama can help the jobs situation is by stopping trying to do stuff, but that’s asking way to much of him.”
Please, please Big O, stop focusing on jobs like a laser. (PUuuu, PUuuu)

Just keep an eye out for ANY aggression (by the dog), as sometimes they can’t hide or just don’t enjoy being awoken with a foot to the ear/finger to the eye. I’ve had a Great Dane run into a wall versus into a toddler, and a rat-like mutt growl just for the tike gooing+gaaing in the same room as its food bowl. Only time will tell, but my 34yo still has opposing ‘piercing’ scars on her throat+head from a rudely awoken canine, so I thought I’d throw a little parenting paranoia your way.
Steve Martin’s “The Jerk” may well have been titled after a conversation Steve Martin had with the inestimably wry Steve Allen on the Tonight Show, some time before the movie was made. Mr. Allen described Mr. Martin’s comedic style, and compared it with his own, and then summarized the comparison by stating (and I paraphrase), “So, you’re a jerk!” The audience loved it, and Steve Martin had to sit there and take it from Steve Allen. Perhaps the movie title was a little homage to Steve Allen, for his observation.
Steve Martin played a jerk. That was, I think, an exact and correct description of Steve Martin’s stand-up comedy.
EXCUUUUUUUUUSE ME! if that doesn’t explain everything!
No, he’s gay. He will have a female side kick named Fonda Dicks…
Or there is the ever fun Jack MeHoff! We used to call grocery stores when I was in High School and ask them to page Jack. Great laughs all around!!!
Fnark you may be on to something, babies love me and I am furry and aloof.
I used to sneak bits of food, like stewed tomatoes, to our dog, Noah under the kitchen table during dinner. One night, mom was waiting for me to try it again and said, “Noah ain’t gonna eat your scraps anymore.” That’s when I noticed for the first time since I got home from school that afternoon that the dog wasn’t around. That’s when they told me that they had “sent Noah to live on a farm where he would have lots of fresh air and wide open spaces to run in.” If you ever have to send your dog “to the farm” at least save the pelt to make a nice ‘binky’ for Buttercup.
