      <![CDATA[@8: Alright asshole, I normally do not bother with you because you are a tinfoil wearing psycho, but HOW DARE YOU attack the intergrity of Batman and Bruce Wayne.  <br />
<br />
Bruce Wayne is not a "bankster."  Wayne Industries is not a financial institution.  Bruce Wayne has on many occasions blocked immoral business deals and forced the company to make moral choices.  <br />
<br />
How dare you.  Leave Batman out of this.  And do not think your insinuation that he is buggering Robin went unnoticed.  You have much to learn, child.

      <![CDATA[That Federal Reserve Inspector General butt-kicking guy, Alan Grayson, is back --- much, much better than the return of Batman (who, let us never forget, is a bankster and hangs around with a young ward named Dick, when he could be hanging with a young ward named Ashley????).<br />
<br />
<strong>That Was The Week That Was </strong> [TW3]<br />
<br />
The Republican platform:  "<i>Life Begins at Rape</i>" falters and . . . . .<br />
<br />
  Female voters in Indiana and Missouri <i>discover their brain</i> and vote properly --- for a change!<br />
<br />
  Massachusetts' voters <i>rediscover their brain</i> and vote for Prof. Elizabeth Warren over that random slitch, Scott-what's-his-face!<br />
<br />
  Wisconsin voters <i>finally use their brain</i> and voted the intelligent, desirable dyke over that whackjob, Tommy "<i>all Americans should be microchipped</i>" Thompson!<br />
<br />
<strong><i>Hallelujah ! !</i></strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Magic Underwear Guy Loses</strong><br />
<br />
Willard Mitt Romney's career as a tax dodging, draft dodging, queen of debt creation evidently didn't impress enough members of the electorate.  Apparently Romney's prime example of business acumen:  putting a poor dog in a cage atop a speeding car and watching him crap over the car's windows didn't impress enough voters either.<br />
<br />
<strong>The Challenge</strong><br />
<br />
An offer of a $1 million prize to Linda McMahon to wrestle Donald Trump in a "<i>Stomp the Trump's Rump</i>" exhibition match.  (Maybe NYC Mayor "Elizabeth Warren is a socialist" Bloomberg will put up the prize money?)<br />
<br />
<strong>The lesson of the very close popular vote</strong>?<br />
<br />
<strong>Un-</strong>privatize the national voting process --- centralize it --- and hire the McDonald's Corporation to expedite it --- if they can do fast food, then fast and efficient voting should be a real cinch for them!<br />
<br />
Nineteen woman senators?  It's a good start . . . . .<br />

      <![CDATA[I didn't even realize he was running. AWESOME. So happy about this. It slays me that after the shit right-wingers pull, they try to be all "But Grayson is mee-e-ee-ean!"<br />
<br />
Frankly, all of those well-meaning people who talk about bipartisanship and the two sides learning to work together can go suck a dick, too. Obviously that DOES need to happen in reality, but we need people like Grayson who are as willing to be loud and proud about their liberal beliefs as 95% of the right is about their conservative beliefs.

      <![CDATA[Technically, I think Grayson won a different house seat. I don't think he won his old seat back (8th dist), I think he won a new one (9th dist). I think those districts in FL were redrawn after he lost. That helped him a little.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, I'm glad he's back!
