I added ‘NANCY SMASH‘ to the Lexicon, while the links were still fresh. I hope we will have the opportunity to use it often and gleefully. While you’re over there checking my work, feel free to suggest amendments to that or any other entries.
Speaking of Wonkette, everyone should go read “A Children’s Treasury Of National Review Online’s Most Comical Passages From The Past 24 Hours”, which is illustrated with the most excellent parody of the obama-joker poster that will ever be achieved in this or any other universe. Just be sure you don’t have anything liquid in your mouth when you click… for the sake of your laptop / keyboard / widescreen.

You need a change of pace from all the classical, Otep’s new video featuring Palin:

Woot wooot! Way to go, Loneoak! You made the vaunted BJ Lexicon. Thanks, Anne Laurie for adding it so quickly and for including the exclamation point. I know I sound like a fangrrl, but NANCY SMASH! It never gets old.

Now I’m beginning to see why Romney had to spend about a million dollars for every vote he got. Nobody, not even people completely brainwashed by Fox and Limbaugh, believe a word that comes out of his mouth:

@Mark S.: Isn’t he supposed to be the smart one?

This is the Republican Party we’re talking about. That isn’t saying much.

I do believe this NANCY SMASH thing is gonna take off.

Benen’s take on the Mittster is, as usual, subtly amusing and right on the mark.
“Romney’s statement reads like something written by a Glenn Beck intern, complaining about an “unconscionable abuse of power” — apparently defined as lawmakers voting for and passing a bill they like — and a “historic usurpation of the legislative process,” though he doesn’t say why. It goes on from there, before concluding that the “act should be repealed.”
The whole thing would work well in a fundraising letter from Steve King or Michele Bachmann, but Romney is supposed to be at least a little less ridiculous.”
edit – damnit, the last 2 paragraphs are supposed to be blockquoted. FYWP.

I can’t decide which part of this is the most horrifying.
Romney sounding like a Glenn Beck Intern.
Or Glenn Beck having an intern.

ah, Beck is a clown with a clown car troupe, Mitt on the other hand, though a clown – has aspirations. Mitt should be easy meat for any GOP red meater, between the ‘cultism’ and running an investment firm there’s the little matter of a record. Turn around outfits can also get catagorized as raiders and you can bet there’s no shortage of folks with axes to grind for Mitt’s neck. Oppo research on the Mittens is easy stuff.

Swell, I was just getting ready to go to bed…

As Oliver Willis said…
Since Mittens has managed to be on every side of every issue, if he becomes the 2012 GOP nominee, President Obama should just send in a tape of Mitt to debate himself.

On HuffPo this am was Ryan Grim’s ‘Could the Public Option Sneak Back in?’ The scenarios that he proposed seemed pretty risky to me but I’m pretty ignorant of the byzantine workings of the Senate. But one comment left was
‘I FOUND A PUBLIC OPTION IN THE BILL THAT ALREADY PASSED. In the proposed Exchange, one of the choices is required to be a non-profit insurance company administered by the same federal agency that administers the Congress’s insurance plan. I know it’s limited as to who can sign up for it, but only until 2017 – then everyone, including large employers can sign up for it. So chances are, it will become a single payer system if we just wait long enough.
I have to hand it to Obama, he’s a patient man. But then, I think he said in his first book something about the way to get along with white folks is to smile alot and don’t make any sudden moves.’
Is this TRUE?? If yes, well, I can wait. Wish I didn’t have to, but it’s better than losing the whole shebang during the coming ‘reconciliation’.

Morning all. I am off to work. But I can’t stop dancing. Our president will sign the bill today. woot!
I can’t get that Abba song out of my head no matter how I try.

I make three internet stops in the morning…
1. Here
2. Wonkette
3. The Red Sox Fan Forum
So far this week, none have disappointed me. You would think a baseball forum would be immune to this kind of stuff, but there is a small population of Hugh Hewitts there I have never seen talk about baseball who are blowing up over “statism.” It is a joy and a wonder…

Good morning folks. Another day, another dollar.
To: Bad Horse’s Filly:
If you see this Hon let us know how you are feeling today. Better, I hope. Hang in there.
To everybody else: Rock on! [Yeah, I’m a little retro this morning. But I am here.]

@asiangrrlMN: I don’t know if you’re going to revisit this thread or not, but I went to The Grand Creamery last night and they were closed for remodeling!!
I couldn’t believe that the best ice cream shop in MN was closed on a week when so much celebration was required (not to mention the first week of spring). What horrid planning. I came home crushed and unfulfilled.

@gbear: oh no! Complete and utter breakdown of society already!

@Lisa K.:
I haven’t been called a ‘statist’ in a while. :)
Anyway-my contrib this morning:
A friend posted this on facebook, and I immediately thought of my animal loving friends at BJ. If you’re inclined, take some time to read and perhaps follow up. I would imagine some of you have the same romantic view of wild horses that I have, from the time I was a kid. It would be a real shame to lose these gorgeous creatures.
thanks guys.
