How you know the interwebs have gone too far

Replay this Live Blog

That is quite possibly the most stultifying phrase I can imagine.

I do sincerely love the internet and Web 2.6.1 or whatever we’re up to, but there is simply no reason whatsoever for any American to replay a live blog. Unless you’re bottom-feeding for choice bits, which, thanks, the world offers enough, I’m sure you’ve noticed.

Bill: Stop selling Playboy, Penthouse on base - Army News, opinions, editorials, news from Iraq, photos, reports - Army Times

“Our troops should not see their honor sullied so that the moguls behind magazines like Playboy and Penthouse can profit,” said Rep. Paul Broun, R-Ga., unveiling his House bill April 16.

His Military Honor and Decency Act would amend a provision of the 1997 Defense Authorization Act that banned sales of “sexually explicit material” on military bases.

Somebody should ask this dipshit who’s selling them the pens and paper for Capitol Hill, and if they profit.

#1, someone needs to explain the problems inherent in verticalization to this moron, and #2, I’m putting it at 8-3 that his wife put him up to this, or a recent Baptist conversion. And a #3 - is every other bit of American hash settled? Do we have time to be worrying about tit mags? Or maybe Paul can find some time to clear the way for DRILLING FOR OIL?

That right there is why I will never honor another politician with a vote. Piss on them all.

Where’s that majority?

McCain opposes equal pay bill in Senate - Yahoo! News

Senate Republicans killed the bill Wednesday night on a 56-42 vote that denied the measure the 60 votes needed to advance it to full debate

I seem to remember hearing that Our Progressive Betters had taken over the levers of power in Congress. So, if I’m doing my math right, that means there are 56 Republicans and 42 Democrats, which, I know, it only equals 96, and there’s supposed to be 100, seeing as how there are 50 states times two senators. I’m pretty sure I have most of that math right. Where are those other 4? Were they incapacitated somehow…comas or something? It’s 2008, you know…IM that vote, bitches.

I’ll just say that I know nothing about no equal pay bill, and if you were to ask I’d say that I don’t know why our Senators are dicking around with payrolls, personally. I’m just doing arithmetic, and memory exercises. Did I imagine 2006? Am I done gone senile?
