it's sort of sad to see policy not playing any role in a campaign.

Opposition to masturbation is not a policy? That's Christine O'Donnell's position.

This is funny - Wonkette posted a screenshot from O'Donnell's discussion board about masturbation:

Christine O’Donnell ‘Supporters’ Conflicted About Touching Themselves

Sadly, someone removed the thread from O'Donnell's website so we just have a Wonkette screenshot.

Um, NSFW if you look really close to read the text.

I mean, if they do get some real political power, what is it they want to do with it? Do they even know?

Cut taxes!

Some conservative who doesn't like O'Donnell joked about teaching a parrot to say "Cut taxes!"

I am home sick today. I got up to check work e-mail, throw away some paperwork, and burn a DVD. Now I'm dizzy and shaky. Maybe next, I will have a nap.

If the parrot looks good in lip gloss, it could be Christine O'Donnell. I'm not sure...some teabaggers seem libertarianish, while others seem just pissed off and gunhappy. Some are Beck fanboys.

Aww, Dana. Definitely nap.

Yeah, nap, Dana! And don't stand up too fast.

Although I do worry about what, really, are the tea partier objectives?

Yeah, just restoring honor and freedom and just kind of help the White House people to understand that we need to work for, you know, freedom...

Also something about guns and prayer, I think?

Looks like the police shot and killed the hopkins shooter just now. freaking surreal.

Also something about guns and prayer, I think?

I am praying that they are not free to use their guns.

Liese, I am so sorry. Wishing peace for you and for Moses' family and friends. I'm glad to hear that you are thinking about ways to remember him, but so sorry that this is something you have to live with now.

How are you currently pushing your luck?

Hmm. Putting off making an appointment with a therapist? And scheduling something major for every weekend from now until mid-November, although at least one of those weekends will be a vacation rather than an obligation.
