Today, January 6, is "Epiphany", a Greek word meaning, "stop using the church as an excuse to procrastinate taking down your Christmas lights".

Where should I send the psychotherapist's bill after seeing that picture?

If I'm going to hang out with people who made a political career out of defying the Catholic Church to further their own sexuality, I'd rather build a time machine so I can visit Henry VIII.

You may have just ruined my appetite for Swedish meatballs and Canadian bacon.

I second those who've nominated The Blair Witch Project.  A couple idiots who don't belong anywhere more wild than a vacant lot whine and yell at each other while the camera does its best to try to give you vertigo.  I sympathized with the witch.

J.D.

Meh.  I'd be more impressed if he had bought Taco Bell franchises.

Q. What's the difference between Mitt Romney and Clint Eastwood?

A. One debated an empty chair representing President Obama, and the other one starred in Gran Torino.

J.D.

Don't be too hard on him; he's just trying to avoid being eaten.

I meant to post a couple pictures here but they didn't go through.  I tried again in another post with a different browser, so hopefully my point gets across this time.

hadn't had my morning caffeine

You've hit upon my one concern with a Romney Administration- when that 3 AM phone call comes, do you want a President who can't drink coffee?

Also from Mr. DeWeese's Wikipedia page:

On February 6, 2012, a jury found DeWeese guilty of five of the six felony counts with which he was charged, including three counts of theft, one count of conflict of interest and one count of conspiracy.

So maybe vocabulary isn't everything.

Here in Pennsylvania, we had a state legislator named Bill DeWeese.  From his Wikipedia page:

DeWeese is well known for his idiosyncratic style of speaking and writing, which incorporates an extensive vocabulary, anachronistic usages, and attenuated metaphors. For instance, a 2002 letter by DeWeese...began with the following paragraph:

Let's cut to the chase ... you sir, are a liar. The measure of the person in our enterprise is his word. When a man comes to my Capitol Hill enclave and stands beneath that impressive chandelier of gold, looks me in the eye with a gimlet gaze, shakes my hand with a sturdy grip and gives me his word, to me it's axiomatic that the gentleman is telling the truth. You are an abject, ignoble, mendacious knave!

...In 2002, the political website PoliticsPA named him to the list of "Smartest Legislators," saying "His command of the English language leaves most people fumbling for a dictionary, if they can even spell the word."

(to be continued due to word limit...)

Misthiocracy

Failure to serve when your number is chosen is punishable by catapult. · 2 hours ago

Would you be shot out of the catapult, or would something be shot at you with the catapult?

After last week, I think "war of dogs" might be more appropriate for this election than "dogs of war", though.

Notice they admit a child's life is at stake...

billy: I not sure what the deeper meaning is either, but it must have something to do with the banner ad I get when I watch the video: Put Progressive Champion Alan Grayson Back in Congress

It always amuses me when Google Ads (or whoever supplies Ricochet's advertising) mismatches ads on political websites like that.  

Not that I'm complaining: the one thing better than Ricochet getting money is Alan Grayson's campaign wasting it.
