under the sofa, or something. What's going on with the DSM since Conyers hearing? I haven't seen anything in LBN. Am I missing it?

1. Nope
There's nothing going on, and nothing will go on.

Might as well ask what happened to the petition with those hundreds of thousands of signatures.

I'd venture to say the White House wiped its collective ass with it while laughing.

Now, we'll pay attention to the flag-burning amendment, and, if that fails, Jenna will get engaged and married in a Rose Garden ceremony, the planning of which should keep the country distracted for at least a good six months.

3. That's what I thought. I'm tired of getting excited for nothing.
It's like we can see these giant waves on the horizon and by the time they get to where we can ride them, there just little ripples - reminders that something was but is no more.

4. Listen, honey,
and I know you don't mind if I call you "honey," do you?

Quit getting excited about anything except the storm troopers we'll be seeing any day now coming down the street to take us away. If you're holding out for anything courageous or meaningful or relevant or even substantial from any Democrat in the House or Senate, you're going to have a long, dry wait, because they're not quite equipped with fully-functioning spines and they all seem content to roll over and let Karl Rove tickle their tummies just so long as they can curl their tails over what used to be their balls.

So, just get used to being bent over and sodomized, because that's the lot our Democratic representatives have delivered to us.

6. Don't mind a bit about the "Honey."
It's all this sodomizing that's getting to me! We're getting it from both ends! The Right end and the Left end. Augh!

2. Just scan the headlines....
here in DU and you have the answer. Just today, you had flag-burning amendments, lost boy scouts who hide from searchers, Dick Durbin apologizing for something that half the repuke party did before him, etc. Every damn day I must see 20 headlines that make me think "why do I have to live in the same country as these people?"

5. I have a worse thought:
"Why do their votes count the same as mine?"

7. Wanker sell outs in congress
If more dems stepped up to the plate, the MSM would be forced to listen.

They won't. They are bought and fucking paid for.
