Fucking shut the fuck up!

you start a speech with a joke, but not about your boss, the president, of the United States!

Stop saying dumb shit!

"We just wanted it to not sound like a little folk ditty, you know? So we just wanted it to have some kind of sonic weight under all that, and just something kinda weird and fucked up."

-Jay Bennett

Ducks.

"The kind of humility that Roberts favors reflects a view that the Court should almost always defer to the existing power relationships in society."

"At this low moment in the historical reputation of George W. Bush, his nominee for Chief Justice stands in signal contrast to what appears today to be a failed and fading tenure as President. Roberts’s service on the Court, which is, of course, likely to continue for decades, offers an enduring and faithful reflection of the Bush Presidency."

shotty

Quite full after hausing some hamburgers, our President (Obama) and President-Vice (Biden) shot the shit with the heads of state of Pakistan and Afghanistan; two 'Stans. The Pres. of Pakistan is totally not Musharraf, but is instead is one of the five richest people in his country. Anyway the military probably doesn't listen to him and will set off a nuke any time if they feel grumpy. So basically this guy wants nothing but stability and control but he's got a signficant radical Islamist element to deal with and a military that is more of a national institution than his own office. Of course the drones and other attacks blowing up mad heads on his soil pisses off said groups and threatens his already unstable government (remember when his wife was assassinated before she could (probably) be elected prime minister?). Anyway Karzai is in the same position because he's basically almost been iced like 9 times since he's been in office, and can't really control the opium trade or convince people to, let's say, not support the Taliban. So everybody is dying, heroin's being made, no one trusts anyone, and some missiles might get shot in the most volatile-region-straight-up ever.

So here is Joe Biden looking like he's sucking on an atomic fireball while our (yours and mine) President tells the teleprompter to get out of the way of the cameras.


And the Hamburger Story will probably get more play.

That was quick.
