(Progressive Rabble) Returning to base.

Zulu Badger Out.

lol lol lol

It's what will happen once elected that will matter. Goldman Sachs and UBS and the satraps of the 1-percent better watch out! Really, this time we mean it.

Ask Phil Gramm, since the repeal of Glass-Steagal specializing in all kinds of Wealth Management:

"It's what will happen once elected that will matter. Goldman Sachs and UBS and the strapons of the 1-percent better watch out!"

I can't stop laughing

Well, depends on who we're imagining

"I know, I know. Hilllary's corporate, predatory agenda of TPP, GMO's, warmongering, surveillance/police state, and Wall Street is not at all funny. "

Oh wait, that's Bill Clinton. M'bad?

get out the MRE's and prepare the "safe rooms"!

Duct tape and plastic sheeting....but duct tape is a must have!

Hillary is an honest person.

Bonus question: my parents told me I'm Jewish, of European ancestry. Am I allowed to tell people that if anyone asks?

Liars are not to be trusted. Because they lie. Don't you agree?

Can you imagine a notorious liar leading our country? That's a scary thought.

aren't gracious enough to admit it.

Let me know if that's not the case.

Lot of my time debunking. Do you believe everything you read on DU?

I don't believe that Hillary can beat Republicans. But that's disagreement with an opinion, not a fake "fact".

General election season can't come soon enough...!

Thanks Woo!

but the defensive response of the corporate brigade has escalated to an accusation of SEXISM above, so we have clearly moved from Code Blue: SWARM to Code Red: SWARM AND SMEAR!

It must be better than I thought!

Evidently, you can't be against Hillary without being a sexist and/or actually a Republican with a ulterior motives e.g. to cause a rift in the Democratic party.

It can't be that we don't agree with her politics.

I have said it since it happened; I will never vote for anyone that voted for the war in Iraq. Period. If she actually gets the nomination, I will have to leave DU. I will follow the rules.

But until that happens, I will push for the best democratic candidate for the nomination. whoever that may be. It isn't Hillary.

That's what I love about this place.

Sometimes you are very trying.

I'm constantly amazed that anyone believes in that kind of tripe. It's so far over-the-top that at times I think it's really a form of performance art.

It's pretty fucking hilarious, regardless of the intent.

ProSense LOVED discipline for links went nowhere, or in circles, or said the opposite of what she claimed they did!

Surely there couldn't have been *another* reason she kept posting them...




Ah, the good old days. Hopefully the budget is increased again soon...

I think ProSense got sick of being bullied, and I can't say I blame her.

that you guys are having to work so hard to try to find a smear that will stick on me. First sexism.....Now bullying(!)


But seriously....There's got to be *something* that will prove to this community that I am a DoublePlusUngood citizen whose assessment of Hillary's policies is ABSOLUTELY NOT TO BE TRUSTED!

In fact, your unhappiness here makes me *so* sad that I have decided to help you out. And I really mean it, too. This is a TRUE story:

When I was about twelve, I threw a notebook out of my bedroom window.

That is *absolutely* true. So now you can tell everyone that I am a CONFIRMED DEFENESTRATOR.

Now you might know what that means, but, trust me, a lot of people don't. The most important thing is that it sounds *really* bad, and it might take people a while to look it up...

but I'm pretty sure with Hillary as the Democratic nominee we will all remain stuck between Iraq and a hard place.

It's not cleverness--it's ... desperation. You're not lacking in intelligence; surely you can do better.

The only question is, are so inclined? I'm afraid you're looking like a disruptor, not a defenestrator -- so if you toss anything out the window, it should be your snarky and so childish attitude. We're Democrats here--if we're going to get shirty with anyone, I'd prefer it to be Republicans--and not in a place I used to regard as a safe haven to discuss issues, even with people who disagree on particulars.

Nowadays, this place reads a lot like Free Republic in many regards, and that's unfortunate.

In fact, they've already rec'ed the OP!

Nailed it.

Sid

that makes what you wrote here so very serious.





I am pretty sure it worked, and everyone is onto me now.

too funny.

red baiting at it's finest right here!

It just didn't go far enough for her tastes and left money on the table.

This didn't do much to accomplish that.

Is there really so little to actually criticize about her that it's come to this?

The article says they're looking at Brooklyn or Queens, both of which are cheaper than Manhattan.

'woo me with science' presumably thinks an ex-New York senator should not set up their campaign headquarters in New York City.

although I think it reeeeeally stretches credulity to claim to interpret this post as a swipe at New York, when the actual, deserving target of outrage is so very clear...


But for the record, here are the original lyrics:

Meet Cathy, who's lived most everywhere,
From Zanzibar to Barclay Square.
But Patty's only seen the sights
A girl can see from Brooklyn Heights --
What a crazy pair!

But they're cousins,
Identical cousins all the way.
One pair of matching bookends,
Different as night and day.

Where Cathy adores a minuet,
The Ballet Russe, and crepes suzette,
Our Patty loves to rock and roll,
A hot dog makes her lose control --
What a wild duet!

Still, they're cousins,
Identical cousins and you'll find,
They laugh alike, they walk alike,
At times they even talk alike --
You can lose your mind,
When cousins are two of a kind.

Is Brooklyn Heights really that anonymous that a mention of it can only dredge up a very minor 50 year old cultural reference? Has nothing happened to the place since then?

I thought you were saying Brooklyn Heights is a bad place to set up an office. When this was really about word association for you.

Living in NYC, to me Brooklyn Heights is just, well, Brooklyn Heights.

All the boys wanted to date her, all the girls wanted to be her. She had a few pop records as well.

What wasn't known about her is that she had horrible, exploitive parents who abused her and stole all her money.

Later on, as she aged, she continued to work. She married Gomez of Addams Family fame and became Patty Duke Astin for a time (ended in divorce).

She struggled with mental health issues (bipolar), wrote a book or two about that, and became a spokesperson for that cause.

She's still alive, still works on occasion.

Some of them might even be younger but have seen the Nick at Night or other "throwbacks" and reruns.

Hell, there is even a more recent movie on Netflix though I'd imagine you'd have to be a real big fan to catch that, my little sister was the fan but the song was catchy.

It is just a taste and exposure deal, I love "You Bet Your Life" (Groucho Marx game show) and that started in the late 40's or early 50's, I guess but it still came on nightly in reruns when I was a kid so that was my in to the Marx Brothers.

Two of my top three favorite shows ended before I was born (Star Trek, The Twilight Zone) and quite a few others I really like would fit that description.


I guess I'm saying you could probably be about any age and have come across it. You could have maybe been there at the time and not recollect it at all too I'd guess though the further you go back the less content and channels there were so the further back something came on the more likely more people would be familiar. Nowadays shit comes, stays on for years, and goes and I never even hear of it much less see it all the time yet much of what has been on since TV is either broadcast or available online.

But what's it go to do with Hillary? Who is she alike to? Is the the traveled one or the one who was always home?

She is her own identical but opposite cousin for marketing purposes.

are strongly in HRC's corner. They know who won't fuck with their social security. They remember who tried to get them universal health care over twenty years ago. Funny how so many people who pretend to give a shit about that topic are so forgetful on that score!!!

Trying to get at the "geezer vote" (and I am a geezer myself, so none of that faux outrage, now) by rooting around in their cherished tee vee memories is a major fail. A sad embarrassment, really.

probably did better than I would have with the Patty Duke theme.

Really hard.

She eats her lunch with Kissinger,
Of slaughter she's a messenger.
What a right-wing coup!

1963.

new lyrics.

Okay, you have to stop! You're killing me!

I didn't know Team Hillary was looking at space at One Pierrepont Plaza.

Morgan Stanley has space there.

Clever reference by Woo.

is so popular in Libertarian circles?
