1. There are no "electoral college delegates". They are called Electors, as in "the only people who actually vote to elect the President". Seeing as how I'm the Democratic Alternate Elector from WA-07, perhaps I should say "We are called ..."

2. As noted in the article you linked to, the earlobe-heart disease association has been known for well over 20 years.

Heck yes it's news. A Republican bigwig looked at reality, realized he got it wrong and admitted it inside of 24 hours?

That is the most hopeful news for the Republicans to stop being the armed clown of the body politic I've heard in a good long time.

Men who had voted for the losing presidential candidate, John McCain, suffered a big drop in their testosterone after hearing of his defeat.


Anyone want to guess at YGBKM's testicle size yesterday morning? No wonder he's here trying to troll us. The loser is desperate to feel like a man.

Almost immediately, upon winning the presidential election, Obama stated he wanted to get together with Mitt Romney to discuss the country's future.

Mitt Romney? The private equity leveraged buyout super debt-creator? The jobs offshoring guy who offshores all his money as well?

The guy who only knows how to raid the US tax base, not to enhance it? (And doesn’t the Obama administration already have plenty of private banksters for such discussions?)

After saying that, President Obama called both Boehner and McConnell, neither of whom would accept his call????

Not accepting the call of the President of the USA? Almost like they consider him nothing more than a former local organizer who is nothing more today than a hapless figurehead?

And the beat goes on . . . .

House Republicans represent the "majority" view of their districts, which is decidedly different from a national referendum.

Arguably, a majority of each House Member's constituents very much want their Representative to be unyielding to the national opinion, but at best that only makes dickishness an inherited trait.

i'm hoping for the latter, because some men just want to see the world burn.

Wrap yourself in it like a blanket. Maybe it will help you forgot how completely wrong you were about the elections, and how your man Romney got a total ass-kicking.

I love it how there are still Republicans who are insisting, "We need to be MORE conservative! We're in a war - a war! - for the soul of America."

No. You were in a war. And you lost.

And how about Karl Rove having to explain himself to his billionaires? "I thought you were the genius! We invested so much capital in you! Where's our returns!"

I'd love to see how this meeting played out. This is so delicious.
