hiiiioooooo!
"Obama can pass health care with Democrats and then legitimately call it bipartisan by citing public support. But he has to not care that David Broder and David Brooks have a hissy fit over it. They do not speak for Americans; they don't even speak for Republicans on this one."

just woke up and saw that us was playing brasil in soccer on espn2. brasil scored within the first six minutes. two minutes later a brasilian player faked getting tripped to draw a foul. makes me so angry. one time someone should just haul off on someone that did that and kick his teeth in. its not like we are going to win anyway. non-cheaters worldwide would heap praise on whoever did it.

Those who know history are doomed to laugh at it. (and fashion lovers get both Lords Raglan and Cardigan in one flick…)
