children, and the rest of the country decided the midterms weren't important enough to bother with. Result? Koch Bros lackeys win!

Using words like "Repubtard" or "Contards" is offensive, and you're likely to get your post hidden by a jury.

However,When I was posting on other sites like Huff ,ect,ect, The Far right wacks who climb up and down libs with every dirty insult and they are pretty much left alone. So I thought I found a place to give back some love to them. But, apparently we would rather hold up the Far right improper impression of liberals being limp wrist coom-by-Ya crowd. I will not offend our friends the Lizard brain wacks they are again here if its offensive to the people here. I guess this place is just not "Underground" enough for "The WHOLE TRUTH"..And I would like very much to add,...Sites like Limbaugh's and FUX news don't even allow liberals to post .It's time to use the Far rights tactics it's the only way.... Thanks for your understanding and guidance.

That's the "whole truth"? Tard?

The "Far right tactics" are lies and deceit. These have no place on our side.

it's about being sensitive to those with developmental challenges (and those who care about them). Using "tard" is offensive to many.

...and it's "Kumbaya."

I had to save the clip on my DVR to show my SO the next day. The way Stewart ended the piece by wondering aloud who would win a war between Texas and Florida is an epic punchline to a hilarious skit.

Along the route to the money shot, Stewart played some of his favorite hands, including his comical Mitch McConnell impression. People who think this is purely political commentary about GOP leadership as suggested in the subject line may not have seen the clip. The well written piece is an anecdotal stroke of genius that runs the gamut from the new misguided senate leadership to typical congressional hijinks by elected officials working well below their pay grade.

Thanx for posting.

7. Uh-Oh! Baba Vanga's Prophecy Might Be Coming True!

When I was visiting Romania this past fall, my old astrology teacher there, when I confided to her about my worries for the political future of our country, told me of a blind old lady prophet and seer from Bulgaria called Baba Vanga who prophesized that Obama would be the last US president, and that the country would fall apart after his presidency. Watching this video, with its mad catfight between the not so honorable gentlemen from Texas and Florida, I'm beginning to think that maybe Baba Vanga was right, and we're witnessing the beginnings of this dissolution of the Union into a second American Civil War!

For a link to a YouTube video on Baba Vanga's prophecy, just click on the link below:

I love Stewart. However I am getting very tired of him comparing McConnell to a turtle. That joke has overstayed its welcome long time ago. Protracted lettuce references are even more tiring.
