#1 While they are stunned, move in close. Shoot him behind the ear and move on to the next one. We have three years. Reid in Nevada is potentially another casualty. There are going to be a lot of bods to bury. November should hurt the donks like bleeding hell.

Or we can let them rot in the open and leave the wanks around them to starve. Pelosi has a desperate piss soaked smell about her, even as we speak.

Its going to get very very bad ....and Obama is going to learn the hard way.

No? we have to heal the body politic and be more bi-partisan? Reach out? Extend our hand across the aisle? Yeah? You dont win a war by being fair.

remember how nice they were to George W,"Its all Bush's fault"?. Let's feed them some of their own stuff. Let's just get rid of them. Total bye-bye.

#2 Sorry, but Cosmo is not a magazine read by mostly gay men. It's mostly read by college age girls trying to be all grown up and sophisticated...sort of the Sex in the City wannabes. My idiot barely old enough to buy her own beer sister-in-law never misses an issue. (Usually she needs my brother to help her with the hard, multisyllabic words, though...)

Levi Johnston was in the magazine mostly "read" by gay men called Playgirl.

#5 Gillette Stadium is the home of the New England Patriots. This "slur" fits right in with the beer drinking, racist, red-neck theme.

Which is really hilarious because the closest thing to a beer drinking red-neck we've got are college educated professionals that like sports.

#6 Grits in their beer, Fred?

I know that New England is barely Unitarian on a particularly pious day, but isn't the very idea sacrilegious or something?

Now, beer in your grits might work, if you're cooking in andouille and some hot sauce ....

#8 What Peggy said. Excerpt:

In the 2006 and 2008 elections, and at some point during the past decade, the ancestral war between Democrats and the Republicans began to take on a new look. If you were a normal human sitting at home having a beer and watching national politics peripherally, as normal people do until they focus on an election, chances are pretty good you came to see the two major parties not as the Dems versus the Reps, or the blue versus the red, but as the Nuts versus the Creeps. The Nuts were for high spending and taxing and the expansion of government no matter what. The Creeps were hypocrites who talked one thing and did another, who went along on the spending spree while lecturing on fiscal solvency.

In 2008, the voters went for Mr. Obama thinking he was not a Nut but a cool and sober moderate of the center-left sort. In 2009 and 2010, they looked at his general governing attitudes as reflected in his preoccupationsâhealth care, cap and tradeâand their hidden, potential and obvious costs, and thought, "Uh-oh, he's a Nut!"

Which meant they were left with the Creeps....

#9 This nails it:

"The contest between the Nuts and the Creeps may be ending. The Nuts just got handed three big losses, and will have to have a meeting in Washington to discuss whether they've gotten too nutty. But the Creeps have kind of had their meetingsâin Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts. And what seems to be emerging from that is a new and nonsnarling Republicanism. It may be trueâand they will demonstrate in time if it is trueâthat they have learned from past defeats, absorbed the lessons, reconsidered the meaning of politics. Maybe in time it will be said of this generation of Republicans what AndrÃ© Malraux said to Whittaker Chambers after reading his memoir, "Witness": "You did not come back from hell with empty hands."

For Mr. Brown now, everything depends on execution. He made the Olympics. Now he has to do the swan dive, with a billion people watching. And then he has to do it again.

He needs to serve the country the way he campaigned for votesâearnest, open, not beholden to interest or party.

#10 If the donks are too ~~stupid~~ unaware to get their heads out of the sand, that is just fine.

#11 When I was living in Woburn, Massachusetts back in 1991/92 there was a small eatery named Betty's Breakfast Kitchen. I was sitting at the bar one Saturday morning and the waitress asked if I wanted my usual. I asked if they possibly had grits. She said, "Yes. Betty's ex is from Alabama and we have grits". She served me and an eldery black gentleman sat down next to me and did a double-take. He asked, "Is does grits?" I said they certainly are! He yelled, "Betty! You didn't tell me you has grits!" We had a very pleasant breakfast and conversation. He was from Georgia.
