Whatever works??
Jon Stewart points out that Sean Hannity used old video to make Rep. Michelle Bachmann’s protest look bigger.
Hannity, who has absolutely no credibility under the best of circumstances, is such a low-life..
Blackadder Goes Forth, Finale: Goodbyeee…
more about “Blackadder Goes Forth | 06“, posted with vodpod
On this Veteran’s Day/Remembrance Day we at TheZoo pay tribute to our men and women in uniform, in full support of bringing them home from our two terrible wars.
In this final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth, we’re shown the utter futility of war, the disgusting waste of humanity.
The four men line up, for their certain doom… as the guns stop firing. For a brief, shining moment, it seems like peace has finally been declared — but the guns are ceasing merely to prepare for the attack.
Just then, Baldrick has a plan. However, it is too late, and the order to attack comes through. Blackadder consoles him, sayingWhatever it was, I’m sure it was better than my plan to get out of here by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?
Who indeed…?

The Watering Hole: November 10 – Kristallnacht
This is our open thread. Please feel free to offer your own comments on any topic.
51 years before the fall of the Berlin Wall was the rise of an ominous series of events in Europe that culminated with the fall of The Wall in Berlin. Kristallnacht marked the start of concentration camps in Nazi Germany. It was also the start of a dark episode in Western history.
What happened then is shaping history even today in the United States, Europe and the Near and Middle East. Who knows what conflicts are being raised by events today?
It’s a sweat-shop, after all!
From John Cole:
The Walt Disney Co.’s plan to build a theme park in the Chinese city of Shanghai marks the largest foreign investment ($3.5 billion) yet in that country. It’s also the first time the country’s totalitarian government has allowed an icon of Western culture to set up shop.
The deal makes sense when one considers how much Disney has depended on cheap Chinese labor to manufacture its merchandise.

Blackadder: For God’s sake, Baldrick, take cover!

Well, Something got Passed in the House
Republicans acted like obnoxious two-year olds, repeatedly objecting over the Democratic Women’s Caucus’ attempts to speak.
An amendment preventing the government plan from covering abortions was passed.
And some sort of health care reform was passed.
Republicans have tried, for the past several months, to insure it would be the worst plan possible. They succeeded, and in the end, after months of concessions and compromise in order to come up with a bipartisan bill – no Republicans voted for it.
Democrats will own this, for better or worse. And if it turns out for worse, the party of appeasement will have appeased itself out of power in short order.
Republicans are gearing up for the 2010 elections. If you thought their posturing was bad in 2009, wait until you see how ugly they will get these next several months. This author is surprised there weren’t violent outbreaks last summer. This coming summer we might not be so lucky.
Wingnuts, know thy enemy…
Shoshanna Johnson, a former POW in Iraq, tears this former JAG officer a new one….
…and Markos Moulitsas puts Tom Tancredo in his place.
Here’s a hint people of Wingnuttia, do your research before spouting off at the mouth! Know who you’re talking to!
Ohhhh, what am I saying? These idiots don’t know that the tubes and wires of the YouTubes make a record of just about every word they say.
Carry on as usual…
I object! I object!! I OBJECT!!!!
As the Democratic Women’s Caucus took to the microphone on the House floor to offer their arguments for how the bill would benefit women, House Republicans — led by Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) — repeatedly talked over, screamed, and shouted objections. (ThinkProgress)
What the hell is this about? Ok, the Republicans OBJECT — wait your damned turn! We will not be shouted down on the floor of the House of Representatives.

Jon Stewart ‘channels’ Glenn Beck as he makes the case :
There’s a war going on in America and the stakes are nothing less the Glenn Beck’s internal organs.
The Watering Hole: November 6 – Sweden
This is our open thread. Please feel free to offer your own comments on any topic.
On this date in 1632 Gustav Adolf the Great of Sweden met his end at the Battle of Lützen. His advancements in military science made Sweden the dominant Baltic power for the next one hundred years (”see Swedish Empire”). He is also the only Swedish monarch to be styled “the Great“. All in all, the man cut a heroic figure:
The Watering Hole: November 5th – Mile High Fun
Most of us will have a story or two to share about what happened to them on airplanes. The Times has collected a few and my favourite of those is:
“A lady boarded with the biggest hair and became quite on edge when she saw she had a window seat. She told me: ‘I can’t sit there, I’ve just had my hair done and have an important meeting when we get there. If anyone opens the window, it’ll be ruined.’”
One story this reminds me of is about an expat from California to Europe, who refused to have his family (wife and two dogs) moved in winter, because the dogs would have had to travel in the cargo hold. Well, it’s so cold in winter isn’t it? The company ended up paying thousands in monthly home flights for the bloke from September till May.
