Thomas Friedman Explains the Earth Race on Rachel Maddow
December 22nd, 2009 | 11:18 am
Thomas Friedman sheds light on the economy of climate change on Rachel Maddow, last night. There may be a light at the end of this carbon tunnel if only senators can take their thumbs out of their *sses.
Same OS, same browser and the screenshot is up there though I haven't clicked on it. I find that sometimes the videos will work on a blog and other times they won't. So, if I come back to it it'll all be fine.
I just watched last night's Maddow Show and he really put it nicely. The whole Jetsons to Flintstones thing was brilliant. We think we're so fantastic over here, but we have a lot of ground to make up in a lot of areas. Infrastructure not the least among them.
Edit: I was exclaiming to Grace and Tae below! Nothing like my first damn going to the top of the thread! hehehehehe and I have been trying soooooo hard lately to clean up my mouth -------- to no avail!
I've been hearing rumblings that the White House may have to bypass the Senate with a lot of environmental reforms and try to do it through the EPA. Given how healthcare has gone this sounds like a good approach--the question is, would/could the EPA reverse itself in future administrations if the asshats get in power?
I first heard asshat from my daughter many moons ago and thought it was absolutley priceless, but didn't use it here until I started PMing with some of the mature ladies. Speaking of inspired lingo, our Senate is useless as tits on a bull. A favorite I got from a little ol' Texas school marm.
I could be wrong here but I associate 'asshat' with Minnie (not calling her an asshat, mind you) and fucktard with Rusty. Any contributions from the peanut gallery?
I picked up the word, "asshat" a couple of years from one of the witty Lezbangers on the old Lezbang site (site now dearly departed) and have been using it ever since. I once created a graphic depiction of asshat. I wonder if I still have it. Will have to search my laptop.
Sometimes I just have to laugh at the Google adds that come up on the side. I can't help thinking that this one has something to do with limiting our reproductive rights. Good luck with that one, fellas!
You're so fucking adorable. When you are actually talking to people, do you put little finger quotes around asses? And does it drive you absofuckinglutely crazy when people like me come right out and cuss on your site?
love being "fucking adorable." That's probably my whole goal in life.
however, I am a big fat swearer, from a family of swearers -- mother and father both -- loved the F word. I just feel if i swear too much in blogs we look cheap. And we ain't cheap here we are classy lesbians!
Talk about polar opposites. I was the goody-2-shoes who never swore. Until I got divorced, I absolutely detested the F word outside of sex. Then one day this steely voice came out of me and told him he could take his fucking balls and fuck the whole fucking world if he wanted to, just so long as he kept the fucking things away from me. I'm telling you, that was the most freeing moment of my life and age has only enhanced the sense of freedom. Whore still bothers me big time, and bitch when it is used assaultively, but other than that I just love sailor talk.
But you go ahead and set a good example, as a mature leader might. You can always tell the children that I've gone daft in my dotage and not to pay me any mind.
Speaking of the "F" word reminds me of the HBO show, Deadwood. The character Al Swearengen (name pun intended) brought use of the "F" word to new heights of glory. I could never come close to curse poetry like Swearengen.
Minnnie, I have seen every episode of that series at least three times. I always start out thinking Al's a major douche and end up loving the guy. I don't know who swears more though, him or Jane. He has more dialogue of course, but as a ratio of dialogue to f bombs... It might be a tie.

Is there anyone else that doesn't have the Maddow video on their screen? It was that way, for me, with the last RM blog thingy also...

That's kinda weird.
I haven't had an issue prior to the last two Maddow videos...normally everything is fine.

I got my rainbow video glasses in the mail about 3 days after I registered on the site. Didn't you?

i agree with you.
i have an off topic question.
Where did "asshat" come from? I know we've been using it on the site for the last year? but like where did it originate from. Rusty?
