“Wait… *how* many people were watching the live stream of the filibuster? That can’t be right…”Report
Heh, you could say the same thing about Demos in MD and a few other tightly held states.Report
“Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said he was “very frustrated” with the night’s results, after officially declaring near 3 a.m. that the bill could not be enrolled.
“An unruly mob using Occupy Wall Street tactics” derailed legislation that was intended to protect women and babies, he told reporters.”
Hmmm… either he thinks OWS invented the very idea of protesting -OR- the Democrats set up a tent city and were pooping on the sidewalk.
As much fun as assuming the latter would be, I’m tempted to think the former. What a goober.Report

When I was in Texas with a few friends to watch football game (Cowboys, natch) a woman originally from England started mocking the US for its inconsistency between foreign and domestic policy. Another guy there said, “what are you talking about? It says right there in the national anthem “land of the free, home of the cheaters””. She looked at him for a few seconds uncertainly. Then said, without conviction, “no it doesn’t.”, followed by “does it?”Report
