Good riddance. The sooner his media empire dies and blows away in the wind, the better off we will all be.

Perspective of the Day: 237 members of congress (44 percent) are millionaires.

thedailywhat:

By comparison, only 1 percent of Americans are millionaires.

And the number of plutocrats could be higher still:

One caveat on those numbers: Federal financial disclosure laws don’t require members to list the value of their personal residences. That information could alter the net worth picture for many lawmakers.

‘All Americans have health care, every single one.’ - Rep. Steve King (R - Iowa) during Saturday’s healthcare debate.

What a noble sentiment. And what a spectacularly, blatantly false one. One would have to believe King knows full well it is false, but then again he is a conservative Republican, and conservative Republicans are at this point synonymous with manufactured realities in which tax cuts cause unicorns to fart rainbows of money across the land and decent public education is the gateway to Stalinism. So it is equally possible that King is being honest, at least within the narrow confines of his own head, and he honestly believes that no Americans are out there who do not have basic health care.

With his [Obama’s] extraordinary intellect and his ability to speak to people’s hopes and aspirations, this president has the capacity to be the transformative leader we all thought we were electing. But if he wants to be known for giving eloquent speeches followed up by field goals where he could have had touchdowns, he is well on his way to the thirty yard line. Drew Westen (Huffington Post).  This pretty much sums it up.  Obama has been mediocre at best when it comes to leadership. Too many compromises. He hired too many DLC people (Rahm!), and kisses too much irrelevent conservative ass.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on some fucking gourds and arrange them in a horn-shaped basket on my dining room table. That shit is going to look so seasonal. I’m about to head up to the attic right now to find that wicker fucker, dust it off, and jam it with an insanely ornate assortment of shellacked vegetables. When my guests come over it’s gonna be like, BLAMMO! Check out my shellacked decorative vegetables, assholes. Guess what season it is—fucking fall. There’s a nip in the air and my house is full of mutant fucking squash. Colin Nissan @ McSweeney’s

The ultimate end of a princess. As much as I’d like to discourage the princess obsession of my 4 yr old daughter, it may be too early to explain this picture to her. (via and thanks to alansnider)
