Not in Seattle? The Drinking Liberally web site has dates and times for 332 chapters of Drinking Liberally sprinkled across the globe.
I wonder if that guy who ran down people today was a distraught Republican, trying to end his misery in the grille of a Peterbilt?
I think Shakespeare’s “Measure for Measure” sums this all up beautifully – the letter of the law versus the spirit of the law.
Of course, Buck Owens and the Hee Haw Honeys never properly ‘splained this all to the likes of a high brow like Gnewt Gringrich who was too busy dissolving his third marriage while converting to Catholicism to think about a concept like empathy, even as it was explained by his thrice-divorced, drug addicted gas bag mentor Limbaugh.
Maybe he can tap his toe and give hand signals under a bathroom stall in Minnesota for a more thorough explanation?
Jeebus, the GOP makes my freakin’ head hurt. Even Ghandi would want to smack them.
THEN:
Obama was talking about Afghanistan when he said, “We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there.”
(from mediamatters)
NOW:
Karzai, who went on U.S. television to demand an end to all air attacks, has put the death toll at up to 130 people. If his figure is confirmed, it would be the biggest such case of Western forces killing civilians since they invaded in 2001.
His plea was rejected by White House National Security Advisor James Jones, who said the United States could not be expected to fight “with one hand tied behind our back.”
(from reuters)
We can’t air raid when bush is president but once obama is in the white house we can’t fight with one hand tied behind our back.
There is good news… the anti-war protesters no longer care about civilian deaths.
Thanks to “saveoursonics@yahoo.com” for forwarding me a link to a pic of the roger rabbit and his family.
I’m sure the rabbit isn’t going to be happy with his identity being made public. Tough. If he doesn’t like it he can sue.
@2 Your group of libtards has its share of fucking dirtballs probably by double of the GOP. You must be proud. Just the assholes on this blog alone. I only venture here from time to time to remind myself how fortunate I am to not be a libtard. Carry on dirtballs.
Remember the “Goldy rule” to drinking liberally.
Alcohol + woolen socks + Carpeted stairs = uncontrolled descent down a staircase
….of course, David Goldstein only apparently requires 2 of the 3 to find himself ass over tea kettle, so nevermind.
Once again, liberals choose to patron a Non-Union establishment. Why not do the Union members only DL? Only allowed to drive UNION made cars (Both of which leaves Goldy out). How about Goldy contributing the average monthly dues for SEIU to the SEIU PAC for 12 months.
@2 “Even Ghandi would want to smack them.”
Definitely a candidate for the Zinger of the Year award.
I have a lot of respect for Gandhi. A lot of respect. I understand the reasoning behind his methods. That said, I’m not a Gandhi, and sure as hell wouldn’t let Republicans slap me around to make a point; I’d make my point with an AK-47.*
* Hey just kidding! Another sicko Ann Coulter joke. Everyone knows the AK-47 is a commie weapon and it’s more patriotic to use an AR-15.
@4 That’s first-class, Marvin. You’re good for something after all! Who wudda thunk?
@5 What’s wrong with dirt? Dirt grows lettuce and carrots. Without dirt you’d fucking starve. So why do you have a grudge against dirt?
Re Republicans: “Can you say shrill? I knew you could!”
And don’t worry. You are far too big to be flushed down the toilet. Well, maybe….
Obama-nomics at work!

Obama is like the juvenile delinquent who gets someone else’s credit card and goes on a spending spree…throwing money around and making people happy. Must be fun and part of his Bastard Child Syndrome (BCS) acting out.
“Look at me…I’m Santa Klaus!!” says Obama.
The problem is someday when the bill comes due is the day of reckoning. Folks are enthralled with the money to be strewn around. They will be appalled when it comes time to pay it back.
Obama needs for us to borrow $150 BILLION per month for 12 months and then another $110 BILLION per month for another 12 months. And none of you KLOWNS is concened??
You are the same KLOWNS bitching about Bush’s reckless fiscal management…but Obama makes the printing press go 4 times faster and you cheer??
Idiots.
Today’s Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll has the Presidential Approval Index at +7, +2 over yesterday and an increase of 600% since May 2nd. Approval for our nation’s president is soaring!!
So in other words the stinking, lying, hypocrites on the right will forget all about their so-called “core beliefs” and flip-flop hard on this issue and the Democrats should in-turn simply change the Senate rules so that the GOP doesn’t EVER matter again. Period.
What can you buy with that $13 a month obama is so graciously giving us peons.
Why not give everyone a free credit card with a $5000 limit. I guarantee that sales would go up.
re 16: “What can you buy with that $13 a month obama is so graciously giving us peons.”
A subscription to The Nation and one more subsc. every month for your consevative friends and neighbors.
They’ll need some real info. — cuz they won’t get it from the right.
@4 now that picture was funny Marvin.
“What can you buy with that $13 a month obama is so graciously giving us peons.
Most people will buy thier kids something meaningful(nation magazine my ass)a new cardboard box to sleep in maybe a newspaper to cover up with. Thats the real info you won’t hear from your big mack daddy or the nation shit paper.
@ steve who the hell are they polling democrats.
@ steve who the hell are they polling democrats.
Let’s see $13 a month. Why is that familiar? Oh yeah – it amounts to about the same money the Bush regime gave us as an “energy credit” right before they let their pals in the oil business rape the American public. – Yet – no right wing turds complained about THAT.
GOP = HYPOCRITES
ByeBye-
As a “between jobs” KLOWN, you ought to be grateful for anything!
Your Obama “free-ride” ain’t panning out.
Is your stinkin’ life any better after 4 months?
Of course it isn’t.
How long have you been “between jobs” Goober….8 years? 10 years?
Who would hire an anti-business Marxist with all his nuts loose like you anyway?
What are your qualifications besides being a misfit and miscreant?
I see that today’s Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll has the Presidential Approval Index at +8, one point higher than yesterday and 700% higher than May 2nd. It’s obvious that our president’s approval is soaring!
