    Agreed. Now how about the thing on the right side that says 'Read more' but displays EXACTLY THE SAME TEXT. Perhaps the high sheriffs could look up the word 'more' in the dictionary?

    1. Preview
    2. Keep comments all on one page

    Then maybe Swampland can get back to the workable levels it was, pre-clusterf**k.

    Strongly concur on preview and one page comments.
    Also, could we get
    -
    paragraph and line breaks back please?

    A little Cult of Personality isn't it? After 8 years of one branch government getting away from that symbol would be nice.
    Someone linked to the original picture yesterday. The Capital I think it was.
    On the other hand, it is just a picture.

    What? No Kenyan or Hawaiian or Chicago mobster flags? That don't seem too diverse.

    hulagate, the king/queen maker is back!
    QH/Obamish, after electing BHO president and getting Senator Clinton the SofS job who will you focus on next?

    Cool pic. It looks like Obama is calling an audible right while getting ready to take the snap. Sadly, the brown object that W is getting ready to hand off is a bit....pungent.
    .
    OT: Did anyone catch schmaltzmeister Mitch Albom's Defense of Detroit in Sports Illustrated last week? Nice counterpoint to the Weekly Standard hatchet job that Michael found. Sometimes, there's a time for balance.

    Your right-wing hipster thought fugues are blowing my mind with their rat-a-tat-tat righteousness, man! Crazy!

    Does the Rosty, er, B.H. Obama impeachment for use of foreign funds begin this month, or during Black Vetting History Weekend?

    I always get those big fat slacker dinosaur union holidays mixed up.

    1-13-09: The day the biggest female shill for Saudi Arabia soaked up the faux Congressional mentor sun, but for the cause of covering Obama's campaign finance flipping be-hind, if butt for the swaddling Barney Frankly sake of the same sack of anti-family shiites that sold the Hispanic Catholics the Bill Richardson Story as if he was actually going anywhere in the DNC Ivy hierarchy.

    Enough already about Bush & Cheney's willingness to defend the nation.

    When does Admiral Airhead start his promised invasion of Pakiland?

    Nope, that's scheduled sometime after Bradley Schlotzman's prosecution.
    .
    There's gotta be a docket chock full of Bush administration officials to go through before getting to the folks that haven't yet taken office...

    And yet to live in Detroit these days is to want to scream. But where do you begin? Our doors are being shuttered. Our walls are falling down. Our daily bread, the auto industry, is reduced to morsels. Our schools are in turmoil. Our mayor went to jail. Our two biggest newspapers announced they will soon cut home delivery to three days a week. Our most common lawn sign is FOR SALE. And our NFL team lost every week this season. A perfect 0-16. Even the homeless guys are sick of it.

    .
    Yes, quite the counterpoint. Where's my travel agent?

    I'm with Paul-no not that one-- politics is bigger than Barack Obama. It was cool to have all 12 or however many dudes up there, but this is... too individual-focused.

  • 15

    I mean, one man's opinion, and all-- thanks for updating it.

    More cow bell. Thanks.

    Pardon me, but when does Hillary get frog-marched off to Leavenworth prison with Obama and Joe Wilson, for under-reported (if reported at ali) foreign income? Mind you, we're in a deep deficit mode, what with all the Rezko bank bailouts and required UAW shuttering, and certainly the Treasury could use the funds for a whole host of 1000 Bridges To Nowhere projects until the lemmings come home to rut, when they realize in about 18 months that they've selected simply the skinniest empty suit since Jiminy Crater to hep (help) decide which way the wind blows in Mild Shy Stadium.

    Senator Skippy ain't even been inaugurized yet, and America already misses the real Americans, eh?

    BTW: We are still taking signups for the Counter-Inaugural of 2009, at our new if not yet disproved HULAgate.org humor station location for all across the nation sans ration.

    Pending Secret Servile approval we plan to raise our FISA flags somewhere between the Big Gay Day meetup at Lincoln's swollen feet and the original Fedskins Field (aka Booby Kennedy Park). Nationals Financial Gridiron was sadly already booked by the ACLU and PETA, so we've had to relegate ourselves to something even more non-union than usual.

    [The sick liberal rumor that we plan to burn Keiffer Oberamergau and Blind Boy Patterson in effigy are completely tentative. We do see a pre-chilled dunk tank with Ariana Hoofington happenin though.]

    Donations will not be accepted, but there will be a cash wake for the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform notion between 3 & 5 if we can get Say Joe Klein off the bar stool at the Springfield Trader Vic's to make way for that and the charity Pin The Kickback On The Illinois House Rep session.

    PS: Where are the other 53 U.S. flags?

    It's a make-no-sense comment poetry slam!

    High sheriffs, thanks for your efforts, although I never paid any attention to the banner. Thanks to Time for the blog. Thanks to the commenters who enlighten me, even though sometimes it's bitch, bitch, bitch. Thanks to KT for engaging.

    Wow! Finally!

    I'm tired of tangling with fellow Dems.

    Question Hillary is Back!

    How'd you like that last rock from space, QH? Pretty bad blow for you Palinesque Pony Riders, huh?

    The big question: Is QH etal back after incarceration or rehab?

  • 24

    I think the three months of intensive rehab and psychiatric treatment, plus the budding off of yet another poisality, has revived QH.
    .
    Of course, If QH has any children in the armed services, he will have to face the fact that they will have to salute a Black man!
    .
    No choice, QH, it's the law...

    Why would Time magazine dutifully present the thoroughly unqualified, terrorist fraternizing, community organizer in front of four (four!!!) United States flags when the only "US of KKK A" flags Democrats get near are those they have dipped in kerosene and set on fire? Obama adoration, anyone? BTW, boys and girls, the "US of KKK A" is what Obama's BFF Jeremiah Wright calls the United States. Just thought you would want to know ....
