not impossible

Daily Beast: Barack Obama has a secret plan to fight inflation.

(I can't evaluate the economic argument; I just think it's hilarious.)


ETA: Oh man, I should have said, "This is why we don't let Rahm Emanuel take over the press briefing!"

Joe Scarborough accidentally said "fuck" on TV this morning. I cannot stop laughing. (I am, however, sadly unable to turn up a YouTube clip or something of the extremely appropriate song "Simple Words" to link to. C'mon, internet, it has a John Barrowman connection! Get with the program!)

that your prompt, should you choose to accept it, is "'dangerous threesome' of Democratic leaders".

And that I would prefer you not actually include Harry Reid.

Nancy Pelosi is okay.

CHEVY CHASE: And now, with a comment on our top story, here is Miss Emily Litella.
(Applause)
EMILY LITELLA: Thank you, Chevy. What's all this fuss I hear about Christian Bale being outed? First of all, c'mon. Who's surprised about Batman being gay? I always thought there was something kind of funny about him, with the rubber suit and how he lives with a male circus acrobat. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Second of all, it's the twenty-first century, for the love of Pete. If a superhero has an alternative lifestyle, I think he has the right to decide for himself whether it's anybody else's business!
CHEVY CHASE: Uh, Ms. Litella?
EMILY LITELLA: Yes?
CHEVY CHASE: We've been talking about the bail-out. That's the economic package that the U.S. government is trying to pass in order to provide relief for the market crisis.
EMILY LITELLA: ...oh! So that Batman fellow isn't gay?
CHEVY CHASE: Not to my knowledge, ma'am.
EMILY LITELLA: Oh. (Grins sweetly at camera.) Never mind.
