I like all the funny E*Trade baby commercials.  This new one is so cute!

The eTrade baby is the best!  One of the best ad campaigns in recent years, I think.

That is Very cute!  Love the e-trade baby commercial.

Well, OK, guys — I sent the email, as discussed. It's a long shot, but it would be SO awesome if it happened. Fingers crossed! Meanwhile, if you run into him at any public functions, no sudden moves: above all, we have to try to keep him alive till 2012.

I wondered where to post this but have finally decided on humour. 

What would the rest of America do without South Carolina? The state that gave us Governor Mark Sanford's "Appalachian Trail" sex scandal and zany politicians who want to replace the US dollar with gold just keeps on giving.

This time it's a law on South Carolina's statute books, called the Subversive Activities Registration Act, allowing anyone wishing to seize or overthrow the government of the US to register with South Carolina's secretary of state and pay a $5 fee.

I must admit it reminds me of the questions non-US citizens have to answer when applying for a visa waiver.....

I din't want to hijack a serious thread so here is where I am posting this tidbit


I have just found the #1 reason to support health care reform

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/09/limbaugh-ill-leave-us-if_n_491536.html

Rush Limaugh Will Leave the Country if Health Care REform is passed and implemented

PLEASE RUSH make sure you take your followers with you to some nice deserted Island where you can be dictator     

[LisaB]

Hell, I'll buy his ticket! 

[futurexpat?]

  ROTFLMAO

I'll go to Costa Rica.

Same source as above.

My username isn't chosen for a casual reason. We have considered leaving the country. Where did we think we would go? Costa Rica. Why? Socialized medical care, and darn good one at that. JERK!

[Forty Watt]

I'll organize his send-off celebrations.  Anyone willing to bake the cake?

The only down side here is he says he'd go to Costa Rica which I believe has a very good health care system.  Perhaps we could steer him in another direction.  Hell might suit him, no?

Edited to say, Future got in before me on the subject of Costa Rica.

Hell, I'll buy his ticket! 

Maybe if we all chip in we can get hima one way ticket to Uranus
I think that would be a fitting planet

[Jaime from Wasilla]

Promises, promises... But who would take him? The only country that suits his personality is North Korea, and I'm pretty sure they don't want him.

Costa Rica is too lovely and small a place to let that big buffoon ruin it.  Maybe they can feed him to some sharks.

[futurexpat?]

I wouldn't like to see him ruin it either. Obviously, I like Costa Rica. I don't think, though, that they would want him. And I really don't think he would like it there, as beautiful as it is.

But they have an immigration problem (Nicaraguans), so maybe he would find something to rant about, when he's not ranting about their socialized medicine.

[Jaime from Wasilla]

It may be a little off topic, but I had a very odd dream last night. I was serving on a panel of volunteers in Costa Rica that was trying to keep Nicaragua from falling into chaos after a major earthquake and volcanic eruption, and we were negotiating with Manuel Noriega about how he could escape his criminal past and actually help the country.  I told you it was weird.

Well, according to Malia, it started when a group of girls surrounded her at school and said, "Your Dad's such a weak president he's wavering on his promise to give Khalid Sheikh Mohammed a civilian trial." The next day it was, "Your Dad's such a loser he probably won't ram through a vote on healthcare before Easter, imperilling the credibility of his administration." Then it was, "Your Dad's so pathetic he couldn't prevent a solitary Republican senator from Kentucky, Jim Bunning, bringing half the federal government to a standstill for five days last week.". You're clearly educating these kids well. And I know it's all true. That's not the point. If you want me to accept that standing invitation to come and speak to a school assembly on "what it's like to be the president" (goddamn stressful right now), sort this problem out. Yours, Barack

Thanks Siren. 

I've been missing these.

Zinger from Jonathan Turley.

The good thing is that, no matter how the legislation might improve or diminish health care in the United States, Limbaugh’s departure would cut the nation’s high blood pressure in half.
