Yeah, and I think that is all the rest of the GOP like her for anyway.  I think even if many of the Tea Partiers were honest, they wouldn't want her as a President either.  She's really best as their Mascot.  Probably gives them some extended longevity too.  Because as soon as they lose a big face like hers, their days as a prominent political movement would likely be numbered.

I kind of want to see Michele Bachman to run.  If nothing else, it would be funny.

But then how can I be better than everyone else?   :sad:

Because you have Slack™.  You know America™, and they don't.

Plus, you occasionally turn into a Hindu goddess and kill a bunch of motherfuckers at the bar, ensuring that I don't have to wait to get a drink.

Point.

The Lib Dem's approval rate will be at 6%.

http://today.yougov.co.uk/sites/today.yougov.co.uk/files/YG-Archives-Pol-ST-results-21-230111.pdf

QuoteIn a YouGov poll on Sunday, the Libdem share of the vote amongst 18 – 24 year olds went as low as 7%.

That is roughly around the national average, but much lower than the share Libdems were polling with them closer to the election.

Revenge rides a swift horse.

Widespread production of paper books will almost entirely cease. Librarians everywhere will quietly bludgeon e-book publishers to death with oversize dictionaries.

And the universities will have to cancel spring break. I'll be hearing the backlash from pissed off 18 year olds that wanted to get crunk in Mexico.

Tucson will get less weird for a period of time, and then all hell will break loose from the "rubber-band" type tension this will put on the occultish energies.

Or something
Roaring Berserkery Bunny of the North End™

A Tucsonite is like a Christian in several important ways.  For one thing, they believe what they say about their god in the most literal, straightfaced way possible.  For another, they both know their god can hear them.  The difference between the two, however, is quite vast in terms of their relationship with their god; Christians believe in His benevolence, but Tucsonites KNOW of The City's spite and hate.

The UC and CSU system will hike fees up another ten to fifteen percent for the 2011-2012 year.

Automated CCTV facial recognition will be trialled in a major UK or US city using data bought from Facebook.

Perhaps that's a 2012 prediction, but I'm sticking with it as inevitable.

Getting warmer.

Almost! CSU fees jumped another three hundred bucks yesterday.

Well, got both of those wrong.  However...
