I am watching the Republican debaticles...

and recording them, since I have to run out in a few minutes. Hoping for some fireworks somewhere.

Right now, Santorum, of all people, is actually making a decent point. That won't last long.

And the rest of them are quite sure of themselves, but so, so wrong.

as some putz was yammering that the jobs created under the Obama administration are no good because they're not manufacturing jobs. Well, cowboy, which party created the ideal conditions to export our industry abroad, leaving us weak and destroying the job base? Pox News is not going to ask that particular follow up question so I switched off.

being so great and Huck was still saying that more "good people" with guns would have stopped the bad ones in those shootings..

Had me thinking of a hundred armed people in a movie theater...

They are useless.

he said bureaucrats rarely get in trouble for doing nothing, but risk getting fired when actually doing things. That has been my experience-- public or private jobs you just don't wanna rock the boat and risk that pension.

He went downhill from there, though.

I've seen him in person and was impressed. Too bad his ideas are batshit crazy.

It reminded me of a restaurant I went to a long time ago. All you could eat spaghetti for $1.99
We were thinking "what a great deal. We can't go wrong".
Then we tasted it, and all you could eat was about 2 forkfuls. Then we realized how bad we were ripped off.

Try the bad lip reading version. This is from their first debate. Very silly but it made me laugh.
