J and I were discussing last night making the State of the Union into a drinking game.  Drink for each time W says:

• terror/war on terror/terrorism
• bipartisan
• cooperation
• new era
• saddam hussein
• september THE 11th
• north korea

I'm open to additional suggestions.

I heard this on NPR about a year ago, and nearly wet my pants.

Conversation between LBJ and the president of the Hagar Pants company:

LBJ: So leave me at least two and a half, three inches in the back where I can let them out or take them up. And make these a half an inch bigger in the waist. And make the pockets at least an inch longer, my money, my knife, everything falls out - wait just a minute.

Operator: Would you hold on a minute please?

[conversation on hold for two minutes]

LBJ: Now the pockets, when you sit down, everything falls out, your money, your knife, everything, so I need at least another inch in the pockets. And another thing - the crotch, down where your nuts hang - is always a little too tight, so when you make them up, give me an inch that I can let out there, uh because they cut me, it's just like riding a wire fence. These are almost, these are the best I've had anywhere in the United States,

JH: Fine

LBJ: But, uh when I gain a little weight they cut me under there. So, leave me , you never do have much of margin there. See if you can't leave me an inch from where the zipper (burps) ends, round, under my, back to my bunghole, so I can let it out there if I need to.

JH: Right

Republican Report Blames Abortion for Illegal Immigration

Yeah, I'm stumped too.

"We hear a lot of arguments today that the reason that we can't get serious about our borders is that we are desperate for all these workers," Emery said. "You don't have to think too long. If you kill 44 million of your potential workers, it's not too surprising we would be desperate for workers."

. . .the fact that Kansas state clinics were forced to turn over medical records of patients is REALLY FUCKING SCARY.

While I hope that this will not hold up constitutionally, the privacy of these women has already been irreparably violated.

The ads have triggered a backlash, with some criticizing them as exploitive. Conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh has claimed Fox was "either off his medication or acting."  (from CNN)

Well, Rush sure would know what it's like to be off his medication, now wouldn't he?
