Quote of the day, "While Prime Minister Netanyahu won a decisive victory, he has just started assembling a governing coalition. These kind of quotes from Israel's most important ally could very well startle some of the smaller parties and their leaders with whom Prime Minister Netanyahu is currently in negotiations. This raises the question, of course, if the administration intends to undermine Prime Minister Natanyahu's negotiations by suggesting a change to our longstanding policy of supporting Israel's position with the United Nations." ~ Senator Tom Cotton, on recent statements of foreign policy from the White House.

What the gently caress is he even doing.

AIPAC has been losing its poo poo lately, hitting every public official they can to try and undue the damage Bibi's "gently caress a Palestinian state" position did. This is them getting through to a sympathetic ear and that someone to pleading their case.

Unfortunately for them, he's about the worst possible vehicle for that right now.

Things like this make me feel so much better about our odds of winning the culture wars. I mean look at this poo poo. You know that this poo poo cost them way more than it loving should have and not a person in the room had the balls to tell anyone higher up what a loving bad idea it was. I feel more and more vindicated all the time in my statement that the Republicans are not fighting the Democrats, they are fighting simplistic strawmen of the Democrats that exist only in their heads.

Toshimo: Aug 23, 2012; He's outta line...

But he's right!

quote:

CONCORD - Fourth graders from Lincoln Akerman School in Hampton Falls received a warm welcome at the State House last Thursday. They and their teacher, James Cutting, were guests in the Gallery.

That reception quickly turned chilly as students got a glimpse of the cold, harsh realities of politics in the Granite State.

In the spirit of learning by doing, students drafted a bill to learn the process of how a bill becomes law. They proposed House Bill 373, an act establishing the Red Tail Hawk as the New Hampshire State Raptor. Even though it passed through the Environment and Agriculture committee with a majority vote, some representatives were far from receptive.

Rep. Warren Groen, a Republican from Rochester said, "It grasps them with its talons then uses its razor sharp beak to basically tear it apart limb by limb, and I guess the shame about making this a state bird is it would serve as a much better mascot for Planned Parenthood."

NH1 spoke with Groen over the phone on Thursday afternoon. Click here to listen to the interview with Groen.

That comment, considered offensive by many, was made while the fourth graders sat, watched and listened. The tough lesson didn't end there.

Rep. John Burt, a Republican from Goffstown said, "Bottom line, if we keep bringing more of these bills, and bills, and bills forward that really I think we shouldn't have in front of us, we'll be picking a state hot dog next."

In a 133-to-160 vote lawmakers killed the bill and perhaps the civic enthusiasm of some 9-and-10-year-olds.

Video link: http://www.nh1.com/news/nh-lawmakers-brutally-kill-4th-graders-bill-in-front-of-them/

Groen was last seen twirling his mustache while licking the tears off the cheeks of the children as they left the courthouse.

And besides, you're using a space opera like the Mass Effect franchise, a romanticist view on the future, instead of, you know, a scientist's enlightened thoughts as your straw argument.
