Today's Lesson - 11/16

In the latest of what I'm sure will be many comments, Rahm Emmanuel is awesome.

"I'm scared of Stephen Colbert. I'm not alone. My colleagues in Congress, political operatives, the top minds in Washington, even some of the people in this room -- we're all scared of Stephen Colbert... We're scared of Stephen Colbert in the same way Sarah Palin is scared of a geography bee. We're scared of him the same way that John Edwards is scared of the National Enquirer. Mary Matalin is scared of Stephen, and she's seen Carville naked! ... Even Hillary Clinton is scared of Colbert, and this makes no sense to me -- she is a woman who braved sniper fire at the Battle of Bosnia's Airport. We're frightened of Colbert, but we know that deep down, underneath the Republican character you see on TV, there's still a good man, there's still hope for him. It's the same way we feel about Joe Lieberman."

Compromise comes in many forms...

From the Obamarama Megathread:

"Perhaps they worked out a deal where Lieberman can keep his chairmanships, but any time Obama happens to see him in the hallway, Rahm will hold Joe down and Obama can give him a wedgie, noogie, rope burn or Hertz Plenty Donut.

That is change we can believe in."

A tool and a douchebag are very similar in behavior. The difference is that a tool just doesn't know that he sucks, but a douchebag thinks he's awesome.

More on Spite

I'm enjoying this gem on the San Francisco ballot.

Shall the City change the name of the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant to the George W Bush Sewage Plant?

Sometimes spite is worth the money.

There have been a lot of fines being levied by the NFL towards coaches and players that (rightly) criticize the officiating. If I were one of them getting fined, I would pay the fine, and then make a matching donation to the American Foundation for the Blind.

Just out of spite.
