I think it's kinda silly to generalize with "I don't understand that generation" as if everyone had the same growing up experience and resulting thinking processes.

Posts worth reading:

It's desperation time if you're a federal Republican - your chance to make policy probably ends for a while in a little more than a year. So they're trying to steal the media while they can.

Peace Pumpkin.

Blanton and Ashton write "Shut Up, Charlie Rangel", and I agree, although mostly because of his constant talk of the draft.

So, what did you get for your $8000?

Ha ha ha ha ha. Trying to sell invasive species can turn out to be a money loser. About time.

I don't know if I've ever seen a more honoring blog post obituary. I wish I had known Fred Neumann.

Is everything that comes from Fox just drenched in dipshittery? And while I'm on the subject of Fox Sports, I have to say, their fantasy football website is the crappiest out there, by far. It's slow, it's clunky - it sucks.

The Spinning Goth has a list of the Top 18 Scary Movies. Do you agree with her?

Fixer discovers his marital reality.

And worth reading.

Is Steve King the biggest idiot in Congress? (Could be)

Fresh water needed in much of the country. More area is under drought conditions than I realized.

I don't know about you, but I'm liking Chris Dodd as a candidate more and more each day.

More talk about possible Democratic VP selections. I will keep saying, this is the most important decision for the future direction of the party that the nominee will make - so don't fuck it up with another Lieberman-like gambit. That one is still biting the Democrats in the ass.

Is there really a way to stop political robocalls?

5 pounds of chemicals per year absorbed, straight into the skin. Good God how stupid are we as a species?

Hey Bad Contractors - let's POGO.

Sometimes I think a blogger's alias is actually a word jumble for something else that better describes him or her. It's fun to play with the letters sometimes. Take this name: Mondoreb - what can you make of it?

These posts are not for clowns only:

This may be a preview of the National League Championship Series, but my guess is that the World Series winner is gonna be Colorado.

Fondue is back!

I like fondue.

I appreciated Chris Matthews' question about getting approval from the Congress before any attack of Iran at the Republican debate the other night. A few, particularly Ron Paul, had reasonable answers, most of the answers were amongst the most pussyist I've ever seen on a Constitutional question. The king of the pussies was clearly Romney - call the lawyers? I'm sorry, that's the kind of answer the current President gives all the time - look at his approval ratings to see how convincing that is. I hope Romney wins the nomination, he may have money but he's a cardboard cutout.

Me too.

I see that Jeff Fecke over at Shakesville has something to say about that ludicrous "turn-on" article as well.

Roxanne's reading Colbert's new book.

There is a point where becoming "richer" really doesn't mean anything - so what is the point?

I wish I could see your face when you use this blog.

2,600 members of the Minnesota National Guard spent almost two years deployed in Iraq. It was the longest deployment of any ground combat unit.

When they returned to the States, they found out that they were — JUST BARELY — not qualified for the educational benefits they thought they'd be receiving under the G.I. Bill.

Sometimes it is hard to believe how steeped in wrongness this government can be towards the people they depend on most.

A few years ago I photographed my man breasts for this cause. Bloggers are still giving to Boobiethon, I see.

The Republican Party's disconnect goes all the way to their logo.

It's funny what we can learn from the people in our lives.
