I hear Kermit is an elitist. . .

It’s not easy being green.

McCain wants the head of the FEC to resign:

Kermit is obviously pro-environment.

Pig needs more lipstick.

(looks around)

What?

Muppets don’t have strings.

They have someone’s hand up their rear.

The idea that a pig can’t fly is not based on good science. Given sufficient thrust, a pig will fly quite well.

The question of if it is good for the pig, the people under the pigs trajectory, and the property at the pigs landing site is left for the philosophers to decide.

Boxturtle (*looks around* What?)

707!

OT, but since it’s the campaign silo…

did anyone else see the weird anti-obama ad during Olberman and Maddow last night? The choice of timeslot/channel is beyond ironic.

It was Obama’s comments on the surge, intercut with (I think) Petraeus’ statements (Presumably from some Capitol Hill appearance or other).
“Tell Barack Obama to face the facts about the Surge. Tell him to support resolution (somethingerother).”
Anyone know what that resolution is so we can all tell our senators to vote against it?

Thx!

FunnyD

i>I hear Kermit is an elitist. . .

Did you hear that from her Baronicity, Lady de Rothschild?

Of course he is – he has resisted the advances of “Ms. Piggy” for years now.

Shame on him for treating Ms. Piggy, a proud member of ‘Redneck Nation’, so badly….

Well if the PIG flies fast enough when it lands you will have roast pig ready for a feast… of course you have to make sure that is has a soft landing /S

HUH???

No McCain, The FEC guy is on your team! He lets you break campaign finance laws. You mean the SEC. Say it loudly: The Southeastern Conference should resign.

Has Kermit gotten a restraining order against Ms. Piggy yet?

As Dana Perino rightly pointed out, pig missiles hark back to the Cuban missile crisis which was fought out in the Bay of Pigs. This led to our country’s well founded fear of a pig missile gap which led to politicians calling for more pork in the budget to address this threat.

Pigs. In. Space.

Well, pigs don’t like pork very much…or do they? I’m confused.

I heard The Count von Count is economic advisor, ah ah ah!

Mc Cain is addressing the financial crisis by attacking the fact that Obama has been “right in the middle” of the Washington problem. Tomorrow we’ll hear how Obama has hardly any experience in Washington and has never done anything.

During the first millennium, Europeans actually trained pigs for battle. They outfitted their swine with chain-link apparel to protect them from glancing blows, which is how it came to be known as the Pig Mail Eon.

Did anyone watch W’s statement of the financial mess today? He said that those caught violating the new short selling rules will be persecuted to the full extent of the law.

No doubt harsh interrogation techniques will be used.

Tomorrow? heh.

The day isn’t over yet…..

groan…….

I heard that…he’s such a bonehead.

I don’t know who’s pulling the strings, but whatever you do, don’t pull his thumb!

I hear Elmo is Caribou Barbie’s minder.

Yep. Good point.

*splorf*

Where do I send the bill for the new keyboard?

Boxturtle (But it sure explains a lot)

“Look at the oversight that has been lacking, I believe, here at the 1930s type of regulatory regime overseeing some of these corporations”

“It’s just too impacting,”

Anyone else taxed by Ms. Palin’s syntax? ugh.

Oh and good salesmanship on calling for a regulatory regime. Are you for it or against it? Another blizzard of words. I swear Palin/McCain speak like they cut and pasted stuff from wiki the night before.

W really really really doesn’t like doing things he doesn’t like doing. That was written all over his body language. Scowling. Also Paulson was looking over his shoulder to make sure he was reading it accurately.

I heard that. hahahahhaa. laughing all the way to the defaulted bank, those crooks are. Good one, dubya!

“It’s just too impacting,”

I assumed she was attempting to coax McCain into removing his head from his posterior.

Don’t speak ill of our next prez. Fractured grammar is now a requirement for that office.

So who and when is the wonderful news that the Dow is skyrocketing going to be translated to taxpayers that they just bought, for the low low price of around One Trillion Dollars, a massive pile of shit?

It is a fractured fairy tale we live in, isn’t it?

Middle class bailing out the rich, again.

*groan*

Seems like a nightmare to me.

Here’s a great record of McSame’s deregulation quotes:

http://progressiveaccountabili…../#more-102

Do people still brag about zeds around here?

BT up at FDL.

Blue Texan has published a new post at the mothership for all of us to read.

Way to kick the can down the road, Dubya, as if the next administration wouldn’t have to contend with enough of your debt already.

We’re being ripped off.

The Three Little Pigs

Why did your comment remind me of a classic Capitol Steps routine:

As Wick Slillie says, this is no way to lick a peader.

Do people still brag about zeds around here?

Actually Paulson and Bernanke have stolen them all. Takes a lot to write out all those trillions they are busily bailing out their buddies with.

As with pigs, so with ’stock’ markets.

While both may fly high (with proper ‘thrust’) ’tis the ‘landing’ which most doth vex philosophers and sages.

But, seeing the DOW race giddily upwards, at the moment, one must gather that it shall soon reach heaven’s gate.

Be this nirvana or a hiccup on the way to heck(-of-a-job, there Dubya)?

Whatever, let’s simply go ‘whole hog’ and let ‘er rip.

All porcine fundamentals are sound (but watch the fury: if you’ve ever got yourself between a BIG sow and her piglets, then you understand …).

Barnyard wisdom is lost on those many who have never experienced it on the ground, as it were, but even a fool knows when they’ve stepped in ‘it’. The problem comes when they try to convince the rest of us that, either ‘it’ isn’t what ‘it’, in fact, is, or that the more of ‘it’ there is, the better EVERYTHING is for everyone.

I think we’ve had just about ENOUGH of ‘it’.

I prefer “Bible Spice” and “Matlock”

Oh, and the next time some neocon tells me that education and healthcare are “too expensive”, he gets donkey-punched.

Like Keith Harris.

Thanks for that verification … I asked my husband last night … did she just say impacting? I guess she did.

Sorry, wrong click that should have been in response to Dosido.

Best yet.

The problem was that the “1930’s type regulatory regime” was wiped out by the Repugs in the Reagan-Bush I and following Gingerich-Gramm-DeLay eras.
John McCain was party to dismantling those regulations.

Oh shouldn’t the sign behind the Muppets be “Palin-McCain”? Princess Cariboo seems to think that she’s at the top of the ticket.

The picture is a wonderful tribute to the Alaska Pork Queen, not to be confused with the Iowa Pork Queen, who costs hundreds of millions of dollars less. That picture does cry out for photo-shopping though.
