Elvis assembles his dream band for the Rapture but due to drugs mistakenly includes Sheryl Crowe, too.

Your lack of faith is disturbing . . . earlier this morning anticipating the Rapture, came across an original Hi-Watt cab (with Fanes). Would have picked it up but remembered once helping an old lady across the street, so maybe it wouldn’t come with.
A Knight of Infinite Resignation lives in a peculiar hell of really want and buyer’s remorse. Curse you Soren Kierkegaard !!
Not sure which is worse, the young GOPer’s snide comments to Liz Warren, or this TNR’s piece superficial ‘Inside The Cult Of Liz Warren’.

“I think there’s been pretty weak messaging from the left,” John Wonderlich of the Sunlight Foundation told TPM. “They didn’t really wage a very strong PR battle, and now the left is kind of silent on the draft executive order. The right has chosen their talking points, they’re painting it as politicization — even though that’s ridiculous because no ‘pay to play’ scheme is based on public, online disclosure.”
Who is this ‘left’ everyone keeps talking about?
@Comment
Just remember how it started before. The entire historiography of 1920-1932 in Mitteleuropa needs serious reconsideration given developments 2001-2008, and then 2009- to the present as interregnum.
Democrats and their ilk are too weak, ignorant and palsied. Laughable an individual example may be, but what it represents is a mortal threat to pluralistic liberal democracy. 50 years from now, scholars elsewhere will wonder why some Greek opportunist and some monied chick from Princeton with a marginal rag were all that consisted of a so-called ‘Opposition.’
Fortunately, we’re feeling optimistic having triumphed over Denon Obstructionism (and thereby foregoing the need to seek assistance from Elite shock troops). Otherwise, after the 3rd bedazzler commercial tonight we might draw unduly pessimistic assumptions. We have the look that ‘America can make it’ about us. ‘Very intimidating’ we’re told.
@Dr Leo Strauss
That clown always has the lamest spin – He reminds one of an unbelievable right wing character that a very very lazy Hollywood liberal would draw up for a screenplay. And Warren is just about his total opposite. It’s an absurd contrast.
GOP pettty villian accusing Liz Warren of lying. Her reaction at 1:04 is classic.

As you say, goon-nothing ankle biting. The exasperation in her voice was real. Except it was that she had to play within the smart politics constraint instead of crushing the goon — she is tres formidable when disrespected. By the way, re the goon’s repetition of ‘Ms.’, her husband, Bruce is a great guy, too.
Frankly, it’s a surprise that the ‘Young Guns’ with help from Cheney haven’t lined up a dark skinned stooge and burned the Capitol down. Maybe that’s their October Surprise next year.
@Comment
Bibi’s numbers in Israel are up after D.C. visit.

@Dr Leo Strauss Do you think Obama likes Enda Kenney’s company more than Bibi’s?
@Comment It’s too grim to contemplate.
@Dr Leo Strauss
Maureen Dowd had another spoof of herself today in the Times declaring Obama is now Amurican and working class and even a male and not a deb. All thanks to Ireland.
@Comment
Tweety must have had that leg tingle thing again:
‘There is no one more Irish than me. Now, some wise Irish man or woman once said that broken Irish is better than clever English. So here goes: “Tá athas orm bheith in Éireann”, I’m happy to be in Ireland.’
[Tweety anchoring]: Wow, just wow. Howard, how does he do it? I mean, he’s more Irish than Tip O’Neil !
@Comment
Surprised the Wing Nuts don’t ask why a volcano explodes when Obama is in the vicinity. That would give Tweety a chance to leer at some poor professional from the weather channel . . .
@DBake
Given our current culture one would think the word would be near ubiquitous.
@Sean
Yeah Sean, it’s a puzzle.
@Comment NYT just knocked down Joe’s underlying story. We don’t know Ailes but know more than a few with direct/regular contact. They’ve always said that Fox is like gang, if one is loyal to the gang then Fox will try to be there, too. This includes not hiding behind agents at renewal time. BTW, all have said what the initial story reported and they think it, too.
correction he just squeezed in an Ireland segment betw commercials. said it reminded him of Kennedy. Tweety has a limited range of references.
Interesting that Tweety is totally ignoring Obama’s day in Ireland -Would he ignore a Kennedy trip to Ireland? Cognitive breakdown.
Ha:

Media never really explains where Joplin is – Kind of a small towm. Cable news is so bad.
Obama finally run a round against Bibi. The whole world noticed. O is also winning in Ireland right now – which is really annoying the bitter resentful Pete King types/
File this in Newt’s basket of unnecessary lies:

‘Fellatiocides’ is a truly under-utilized word.
Why people keep trying to predict something that is unpredictable is beyond me
@sglover
Many elite liberal journalists call Newt “brilliant” and “an ideas man” or “an idea machine” just because they need a pet conservative they can claim (insincerely) they respect. Newt’s own bubble.
I caught — endured — part of the Diane Rehm gasfest the other day. Hey, I was in the car, PFW wasn’t playing tunes that I like, CSPAN was playing gas from Obama — not a lot of choices. Anyway, that nitwit who’s married to Cokie Roberts kept describing Gingrich with words like “brilliant” and “genius”. Embarrassing and revealing as hell…..
Because most of the Washington Press Corps are dim information triage artists, they take Newt’s spastic dilettantism as genuine intellectual activity. In a way, it’s not Newt’s fault. A healthy society would have long ago sealed him off with an autoimmune response.
Had the Rapture occurred and there indeed be One Above, surely the Washington Press Corps would be consigned to that level of the Inferno with the flatulators and fellatiocides.
Not with a bang, but a whimper. Did the press treat De Gaulle this way?

We’ll start off by confessing we stupidly paid the cable bill earlier this week . . .
