House Speaker-designate John Boehner wipes away tears as he waits to receive the gavel from outgoing Speaker Nancy Pelosi during the first session of the 112th Congress, on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC [AP]
Well, they do, both profess their faith ad nauseum. La Nan intro’d Boehner as a man with Faith in Gawd.
I am so comforted. Aren’t you?
Mush little doggies…. (which, of course, is rude to the noble dog).

LOL Oh Lordy, nearly peed myself,
Your lede with the pic is so Perfect.
I just figured I’d get my dibs in,
this is my moment, I think.
I am fully mediocre ba prepared, and baw willing to –
willing to serve bwawlhawlhawlhawl.
Jeezis Crifte.
Boehner.
Let’s just get the guy a size 42 long straight jacket and take him out on the stretcher immediately following the festivities.
LOL. ->> NOW the stand-in CoS Rouse over at Obbies joint is going all blubbery recieving Obbie shoe to butt.
GaaadDamn!
Get him a stretcher too!
I hope Rouse did not work too hard during his fill-in stint.
Poor Ob, the Chicago players OWN him.
catnip can crochet him a BAWL SHAWL.
I can see it now!!
Whateveritisimagainstit was having a contest to nickname John Boehner. I think we should call him John bwawlhawlhawlhawl.
Well this certainly should be interesting when Daley summons Markos, Aravosis, Hamsher and Digby to be gratuitously billy clubbed on Meet the Press.
I mean, just for the hell of it.
Oh and whathisname from Talking Points.
Oh but they’re so on top? bottom? of things,
{among other men} at TP.
This from Joshie’s personal asslicker, David Kurtz
( pic )
Right on top of things!
I mean, Hell, here in Jersey, some mahoff dying after the courtesy shuttle of being transported from Amtrak’s DC Metroliner to the landfill and being ejected out of the back of a trash truck IS considered natural causes.
And damn fine service if you can get it.
We don’t expect much.
But it’s nice to know Kurtz “reporter antennae” perked up. Well, at least as introductory graf before offering the “Nothing to see here.”
LOL.
Translation:
Kurtz (TPM): Ever wait for a cab in Wilmington Delaware? Say again? The guy had his own car at the station?? Why, no, I did not know that.
BUT do YOU know how many times Joe Biden and along with other National Security grafters like regular local Wilmington commuters take the train catch a lift home in the trash truck?
Plenty I tell ya. Happens all the time!
It’s a Wilmington thing!
He had a syringe broken off in his neck?
My understanding of this week:
Day 1 – psst, liberals … what do you think of Daley? sotto voce – not that we care – sotto voce
Day 2 – yes, really Daley … our friends who happen to send us checks like him, so he must be swell … oh, and he DID withdraw Gore’s concession back in 2000, remember?
Day 3 – Daley, you fucking hippies, will prove that we’re serious and grown up, now get on board! Don’t forget, his daddy teargassed and beat the shit out of your old aunt and uncle who live in that cabin, so don’t tempt us again!
Today – On your knees peons, where else are you going to go? It’s Daley … now go in the corner and cry.
Chamber of Commerce is happy with the pick and I noticed Oblation has a speech coming up to present to them.
Maybe they can all wear pink party dresses and hold hands.
maybe they can announce a round of layoffs somewhere to celebrate, or hold a public eviction of a family from their foreclosed home followed by a public auction … they could have Daley call in the bids.
Somebody, I forget who now, did mention that the last time Daley stood on a platform or dais or whatever at the WH (I guess when he returned to help Old Bill push thru that earlier killer, NAFTA) ….
he fainted and fell off the stage.
oh, I forgot about that!
Me too…
Oops. I missed a blockquote from “A Strange Demise” through the landfill and “ruled a homicide.”
That’s Kurtz’s “reporters antenae” perking up and should be noted as such. I, of course should leave such expertise to the professionals and not jump to conclusions. LOL.
I see Israel needs an empathy break.
So good to support them, no?
Well, women and children first,
as the IDF always says.
Maybe Israeli scholars can figure out that terror and tears in the eyes of women and children mean “It’s not a good time” to murder them or their loved ones. Or maybe there is a slight connection between tears and the menacing of communities and demolishing of homes. Who knows?
Surely the world will await Israeli instruction.
wow what a misread of tears, on the part of the Israeli search team.
Well, silly simpleton me,
I take tears, sad tears, to mean
“Now’s not a good time” for ANYthing.
When someone is overwhelmed.
Well the Israeli finding is really narrow.
I’m more reacting to Press fluff and lab-coat approach.
I SAY Give Me A Fucking Muddy the Gassing Civilians BREAK after they killed a woman in Gaza last Saturday.
This tricklevia the NYT
Which Youtube has helpfully put behind an age verification firewall
Followed by the meant for EU consumption lede announcing..what else..
An Internal Israeli Investigation!
Let’s Hold Our Breath!
Press spin Ad Nauseum.
To Death.
This from last March:
Maybe they can develop a vaccine tears, that can be nebulized along with the white phospho they drop.
*Correction. Jawaher Abu Rahmah, the 36 year old woman gassed and killed by the IDF died in the *West Bank while protesting the occupation.
Appaarently they have been using this mroe dangerous type of tear gas for almost a month (that they admit to).
Well of course they do … “hand over the gavel NOW, Pelosi!”
given SIZE of the penis compensating gavel and Nancy’s very droll swipe at him, if ya ask me…
And see?
Now’s Not a Good Time for ANYthing!
The tear in the fabric of the universe has been restored!
The Iranian Monarchy, on the other hand….
was it just me, or was she slowly stroking the handle of that gavel as she introduced Mrs. Cry Baby?
By habit,
I stroke everything tubular so I wouldn’t know.
I just don’t cry about it and it’s usually in private. But my God, Magnum, I did notice the head on that thing. LOL.
Welp, Like the old Kremlinology, I think we’ll be able to determine much about the course of this next Congress by following how Boner pounds the head of that thing on the dias.
Whether he crying or not and so forth.
Fuck if I’m gonna watch Hardball to find out.
I heard la nana say that Boehner specified that particular ceremonial gavel.
Oh it was a nice dig.
I cackled out loud when she said it.
The sad thing is I am so tired of La Nana that I don’t even mind Boehner.
And boy, that really is SAD.
I dunno,
A little parochial, but What the hell, why not?
Could work.
Personally, I’m hopin’ for cheap Space Tourism first.
oh that made me laugh!
What a hoot!
Welp — I lasted a week. Better luck next time, I guess. Damnit.
You can try again! later! Sometime! It’s not over!
sorry to hear that … quitting is tough.
Sunday — I will start again on Sunday. My body is NOT pleased with me at all at the moment!
Thanks for your support, lady and gent!
Thread-wise, I wonder if I could just cry on my cigs — would that work, do you think?
well maybe cold turkey was not right this time… tapering off maybe? 3 days on 2 days off, then keep increasing days with no smoking.
I dunno, since i never smoked.
My father quit cold turkey in 1972 — and the most hilarious thing was my mother never noticed, til he told her some weeks in. I was out of the country and he would drop me letters telling me he had asked for the 3rd or 4th time if she noticed anything different. Once she even got up and walked around him, as he sat in the kitchen reading the paper…
That is a hilarious story — she never even noticed? Wow! It’s odd what we get used to! Did your mom smoke?
For me, I think cold turkey is the only way — once I take even a deep drag, the nicotine takes back over….it’s freaking inane, but such is addiction.
oh yes my mother smoked…. from 13… My grandmother tried to dissuade her, bribing her with what at the time was 75 cents a bottle nail polish (in 1920) among other things..
But my mother always loved it. And one of the few things I was grateful for no doctor every lectured her, I mean in the last few years… she smoked, a lot less of course, til she died at 92.
The cold fish docs probably caught a hard gleam in her baby blues and the long Lilac Champagne nails.
Awesome — thanks for sharing that image (and the fact that she smoked for almost 80 years)!!
I just maintain that people are different.
There is a great interview that Joni Mitchell had with Tavis Smiley… poor tired corporatist that he is…
I’ve never ever gone to his site, so never searched for the vid of her interview (it was a full show iwth just her)… she started at 9.
He almost freaked but she just kept chatting along, she’s never stopped either… smokes Sobranies, which were recommended to her by an old Russian mystic in the midst of all sorts clamoring at her to stop for a long list of reasons. (La voix, chief among the reasons used, of course)
People vary, what works for them.
Think the interview rides at the top of the google search…. no idea if it is the full 25 mins tho.
***
hmm here is a transcript, she refers to the mystic as a Kahuna (it is not very far down). I remembered it a bit differntly. Amazingly PBS did not censor the transcript.
Oh jeesh , …thanks a frackin lot (b-t-h ;0( ), I started at 13, ….. and I can’t imagine living in this focker till I’m in my fuckin nineties, ….jeesh, …as I wrote:…thanks a fuckin lot b-t-h (well okay,….HONEY, ….;0( :0) ;0) )
I jest, cuz I know you agree Marisa, because you’ve already stated it, in so many words, to Brinn, et al, the cigs have been made far more deadly…even just in the two years ….yeah …..THE ADDITIVES
Brinn, I quit two times within a week,.…the second time stuck for almost five months ….I’m sure you can get over the hump, because of those sweet kids of yours …when we are able to smoke something free of malice, we can raise our glasses and enjoy!
(gotta run (afer I read a tad further, to make sure there are no emergency alerts goin on)…kisses honey!)
;0)
So here we have this perfectly straight young man, Johnny Weir, , and after the ribaldry of a few IOZ postings about him My Boyfriend Johnny Weir this, My Boyfriend Johnny Wier that,
What’s up with that, Coach?

Do people know perfectly well what’s killing bees?
It goes on … the usual corporate malfeasance, etc.
There was a report last week on the local news that now BUMBLE bees are thought to be dying off as well…
and of course this explanation won’t get the same play as the “mystery” storyline the media was pushing. Reporters would have to learn how to pronounce “neonicotinoid”, which would be hard, and the sponsors wouldn’t like it.
I still think the electromagnetic frequencies (EMF’s) have a part in the whole scenario (right along with the pesticides, neonicotinoids, et al), in terms of muddling honeybee ‘sonar’ ..(resulting in their ultimate death, since they rely on that ‘sonar,’..to live)…and why wouldn’t that be true? …just because EMF’s are invisible? …(after all, all a person needs to do is stick a wet finger on a seemingly innocuous live socket/wire to get a grasp of something beyond the obvious to the eyes, when, if they put a dry finger on it,…the results would be quite mundane ……)
hmm we are so finished.

I actually posted something: Win the Social Lottery.
Shared this w/some peeps on FB — hope you don’t mind! (Guess I shoulda asked BEFORE I did it…)
It was too good not to share!
I got a lot of hits from that … thanks.
I liked it too.
thanks
The Last Optimist No Longer Optimistic
Listening to Obamalama’s never-ending presser about his new financial team appointments. “Clinton” this, “Clinton” that. Oh, all of you who didn’t vote for Hillary because you were done with the Clintons – you poor poor saps…
Ob’s sad legacy (whatever the silly blather in the West Wing and Chicago and Honolulu) is that like Bush 1 was the third Reagan term, he is the continuation of Clinton.
Pretty simple to see.
yep.
unfortunately, too simple for most.
