"they [democrats] are so impotent… yeah so now they have 59 [senators instead of 60] they should be able to do things with 51. They couldn’t sell health care. This is something that the American people wanted. This something that would save lives, save money and they couldn’t sell that. They couldn’t sell a cub scout to a pedophile this party."

Rahm Emanuel apologizes to Sarah Palin

- letter from Michelle Obama congratulating Franco and I on our engagement - We didn’t request this and it is not signed with an auto-pen. She actually signed it. It’s pretty cool to end a weekend full of celebratory family dinners with a special note from the First Lady!

"Looting"

robot-heart-politics:squashed:

If a natural disaster strikes and somebody decides this is an opportune moment to break into a Best Buy and steal themselves a flat-screen TV, feel free to call them a looter.

But when somebody breaks into a supply depot looking for food or medical supplies because their only other option is watching somebody they love starve, they’re not “looting.” Those aren’t “spoils or plunder taken by pillaging, as in war.” They’re basic necessities taken by people in desperate need.

If the media is going to start moralizing, it should at least do it in the right direction.

OBAMAHOLICS ENGAGED AT WHITE HOUSE GATES The White House gates aren’t usually a romantic spot, but it seemed like the only option for former Obama campaigner Franco Ripple, who popped the question to his fiancée Ashley Ligas right there on Pennsylvania Ave. The pair of recovering Obamaholics from Florida – he was a field organizer, she was a team leader coordinating volunteers – had come to D.C. for a weekend getaway. Ripple, 27, had big plans. He had the ring – and in hopes of proposing during a tour of the West Wing, he booked an 8:55 p.m. walk-through on Friday night. He was unsure of where the monumental moment would take place once inside. Possibly at the door of the Oval Office, which is open but roped off during tours, allowing visitors to just peek inside. He also sought the advice of his aunt, Anita McBride, who served as Laura Bush’s chief of staff. McBride recommended the Rose Garden. As they arrived at the White House gates, Ripple still hadn’t made up his mind. But it didn’t matter anyway. Due to a mix-up, they weren’t on the list for the tour. After some confusion and attempts to get a tour later in the weekend, Ripple decided not to wait and asked Ligas to marry him on the spot. “We’re still very thrilled to be only the second all-Florida Obama couple to get engaged,” Ripple said, while conceding that not being able to do it inside was “disappointing.” via POLITICO ::::::::::::::::::::::: so this happened over the weekend :)

so this happened over the weekend :)

"When I took this show over, boy, there was a lot of animosity, between me and Dave and who’s gonna get it — and quite frankly, a lot of — well, good friendships were permanently damaged. And I don’t want to see anybody ever have to go through that again. ‘Cause this — you know, this show is like a dynasty. You hold it, and then you hand it off to the next person. And I don’t want to see all the fighting, and all and “who’s better?” and nasty things back and forth in the press. So, right now, here it is: Conan — it’s yours. See you in five years, buddy. Clear enough? Enough said? All right."
