What's a hurricane have to do with anything? party on, folks...that's what it is all about. Someone is paying and we are playing... We have family values, by golly.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Not because of the Republicans, but because of this shitty lame ass post.

Anyone who went out and had fun on Saturday, no matter where you are: YOU ARE A BAD PEOPLE.

And you should feel bad. How dare you get on with your lives.

Somewhere in the world, a kitten is dying right now. What the hell are you doing about it?

It's ok. They were drinking hurricanes and tornados.

Whee! Commenting in a DOA post is like being in one of those parallel universes that doesn't work out and gets neatly wound up.

Like we needed further proof that republicans don't know how to dip, jive, and be incredibly fly.

It's going to be a long hard road to that election, isn't it? I may just suspend reading metafilter for a few months...

I was going to complain about this post, but the St Paul police raided my house four days ago in a preemptive anti-snark sweep.

I thought about doing that but this is too good of a time-kill.

I'm starting to feel that way too. I mean, the post-Palin election posts have made me really really hate this place-- and I don't mean that in my usual ha-ha-mildly-amusing-if-somewhat-played-out-eyeballkid-i-hate-you-all-catch-phrase kind of way, I mean I really don't like reading this site when it gets this way.

It's not quite as punchy as "Nero fiddled while Rome burned," is it? And now thay say that didn't happen after all. But we do know postie has time to yammer on message boards while Gussie rages.

Which makes this the thread where Superman has a pet superdog.

This post is taking up valuable front page space that could be devoted to further updates on the status of James Brown.
