    Dear Pres. Obama: Please kick the shit out of the reactionary rightwing turds blocking healthcare reform in both parties. Luv, America.

    You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans, and drink highballs. We will sell our bracelets by the road sides, you will play golf, and enjoy hot hors d'oeuvres. My people will have pain and degradation. Your people will have stick shifts. The gods of my tribe have spoken. They have said, "Do not trust the Pilgrims, especially Sarah Miller."

    He should bow to that turkey after he pardons it this year, just to piss off The Corner.

    Oh, I can just hear Bushie thinking, "Oh, they just gave 'em a little corn. The maize, right? It's not like they really needed it to like live. We’ll leave ‘em out the proclamation. And besides the settlers gave the Indians stuff too, shiny beads and baubles and things. You know, trinkets worth a whole peppercorn or such. What? Huh? Oh well, they probably would've gotten syphilis anyway."

    This article is like looking for wisdom in the leavings of a toilet, or the secret auguries of the Federal Reserve Bank.

    Pareene, I nominate you for Pontifex Maximus where you can raise the ira deorum on behalf of us all.

    Jennifer Senior fawned breathlessly over Hillary's brilliant campaign when it appeared she'd be the nominee (and, of course, Hil's campaign turned out to be a disaster). No one is better than Senior at gushing over the brilliance of the Democratic star of the moment.

    He's a poor speaker, who always uses the same inflections and gestures, and uh uh uh no matter what the subject; he's a celebsident who does no real work and his message might work for campaigning, but it doesn't work on the job of being president. He delegates to questionable freaks like Geithner and Summers, and even Rom doesn't know his position on health care reform. All talk, no action. Empty suit.

    cash for clunkers - bailouts - stimulus - it's embarrassing - almost 200 days into his administration and not ONE speech or statement about what he will do in the anti-poverty arena - typical - turn your back on the one's who elect you-

    If they're so savvy, why did they allow that fat fuck Larry Summers to blather away on Meet the Press yesterday? Undermining healthcare reform, calling for higher taxes on the middle class, and justifying Wall Street's greed and venality. Why is Jabba the Hut still there?

    At least weird-looking Ray LaHood was assuring us that Cash for Clunkers would fulfill its orders.

    This is addictive.


    My column on Tu B'Shevat in our synagogue's newsletter got a 41, grade level 9 from Writing Tester.


    A contract I wrote for investment management services got an 18, grade level 13.


    A brief I wrote for district court got a 31, grade level 10. I credit LawProse for that last one!

    I guess all of this only serves to prove that George W. Bush is no Joan Didion..


    Who among us can honestly say he or she is Joan Didion?

    And now pops must live with being "George W. Bush's father" for the rest of his.


    The essay might have received a higher grade had it not been composed in crayon.

    It appears that for Writing Tester, you get a higher grade score if you use more punctuation. When I entered the first verse of Biz Markie's "Just a Friend," just as free verse (as it's listed on a lyrics site) it came out:


    Readable score: 18

    Grade level: 14


    When I added correct punctuation (as correct as it could be, considering the material):


    Readable score: 69

    Grade level: 4


    I therefore submit that Biz Markie is not the genius we all thought he was.

    @Anthony_Underscore: I mean, a LOWER grade score if you use more punctuation.


    My conclusion regarding Biz Markie still stands.
