man, this Kevin T Thomas guy is a genius; check this out--IMO this is the best comment he made:

"They're trying to play God--no, Actually, they're trying to play greater than God, Because at  least God gave you the fucking choice!"

it's from this video (which is just made of win):

"They bet that they could pursue a host of policies fundamentally odious to their core supporters and yet be reelected.  The calculation depended on the premise that rank-and-file Democrats would have no other option.  Unsurprisingly, the Obama Administration and its surrogates have invested considerable time and energy convincing its former supporters that there is no option."

This was a "Pearls Before Swine" comic in the paper today that I actually had to snip out and keep because it was so perfect.

    Rat: Why do we allow people to bribe congressmen?
    Goat: We don't.  It's illegal.
    Rat: What are you talking about?  Rich corporations are always giving these idiots money to vote a certain way.
    Goat: Yeah but those aren't bribes.  They're campaign contributions.
    Rat: For the smart guy in the strip, you're pretty moronic.

Complete win from johnrainrules on YouTube, in response to kdskdkdkdk:

Question-please expand on "labor saving devices usually create more jobs". Didn't seem to help expand the farm labor pool.

And the winning reply:

Nope, just as farming didn't expand the hunter gatherer labor pool.

"In truth, in the case of individuals, their actual voting is not to be taken as proof of consent, even for the time being. On the contrary, it is to be considered that, without his consent having ever been asked, a man finds himself environed by a government that he cannot resist; a government that forces him to pay money, render service, and forgo the exercise of many of his natural rights, under peril of weighty punishments. He sees, too, that other men practice this tyranny over him by the use of the ballot. He sees further that, if he will but use the ballot himself, he has some chance of relieving himself from this tyranny of others, by subjecting them to his own. In short, he finds himself, without his consent, so situated that, if he use the ballot, he may become a master; if he does not use it, he must become a slave. And he has no other alternative than these two. In self-defense, he attempts the former. His case is analogous to that of a man who has been forced into battle, where he must either kill others, or be killed himself. Because, to save his own life in battle, a man attempts to take the lives of his opponents, it is not to be inferred that the battle is one of his own choosing. Neither in contests with the ballot -- which is a mere substitute for a bullet -- because, as his only chance of self-preservation, a man uses a ballot, is it to be inferred that the contest is one into which he voluntarily entered; that he voluntarily set up all his own natural rights, as a stake against those of others, to be lost or won by the mere power of numbers. On the contrary, it is to be considered that, in an exigency, into which he had been forced by others, and in which no other means of self-defense offered, he, as a matter of necessity, used the only one that was left to him." - Lysander Spooner

Putting all of the "isolated" incidents in perspective.

Sadly one of them was going to win, but after all the B.S. from the Republicans this time they definitely earned this.
