    Of course Wario would get honored for being hurt. Nobody cares about Waluigi.

    Is he a drinker? A friend of a friend told me about the dangers of drinking and then posting on blogs. I guess that blurt-fest Twitter is the same thing?

    According to Merriam-Webster's 10th, "heartwarming" as an adjective is one word, no hyphen. Do you use another source?

    Even the supposedly fixed one is still missing the hyphen in 'heart-warming'.

    @eleusiswalks: My dictionary says that word requires a hyphen, but I assumed you only had to hyphenate the words when they were being used to modify a noun. Like "heart-warming scene". Without the hyphen its grammatically confusing. But in this case, the hyphen seems to have no purpose. And yet it's still necessary. I always hate hyphenated words. So fucking stupid. Wastes so much time.

    "Obama sent letters to the House and Senate saying that he was firing Walpin, effective 30 days from the date of the letters, in which he provided this explanation as motivation for the firing:"


    This sentence meets every requirement for a firing discussed before it in the article. Next!

    @Woeful: Yeah, that was a weird series of sentences. Also, TPM has been all over this, noting quite a few irregularities in Walpin's investigation of St. Hope. Kind of weird to see an extended block quote from Byron York (the same guy who suggested that Obama may not actually be that popular because black people like him) and no counterpoint from people who actually do research.


    Oh right, SCANDAL!

    @Woeful: The reason is what the letter said: ""It is vital that I have the fullest confidence in the appointees serving as Inspectors General. That is no longer the case with regard to this Inspector General." The spirit of the law seems to be for a disclosure of the reason. If there is a reason for President Obama's loss of confidence it should be written into those letters. He is not the king. "It pleases me" is not a sufficient explanation.

    @ChillbearLatrigue: Perhaps giving the reason would interfere with an ongoing investigation. Obama gets the benefit of the doubt on this one. He sent the letter, gave the 30 days, if all you're waiting for is a solid reason, then just calm down and ask the question instead of getting the pitchforks and torches ready.

    Dream on Cajun Boy. The money was reimbursed, the locals failed to file charges and Walpin is an old white dude who acted like a dick while prosecuting (black) Kevin Johnson. Dude, the president is black. He's not going to let some older GOP guy dis a big supporter who also happens to be black. It's the same way that Dubya protected all of his Halliburton types even though it was clear they were ripping us all off big time. The GOP smells blood in the water because they are casting around for a direction and are desperate and thus deluded.

    Senator Grassley, I knew Shaquille O'Neal. I tweeted with Shaquille O'Neal. Shaquille O'Neal was a friend of mine.


    Senator, you're no Shaquille O'Neal.

    Should I really believe the Senator is writing his own tweets? This is probably a pissed staffer whose bathroom stall appointment was nixed by the workload.
