His name is Jean-Marc Ayrault, pronounced "ai-roh." The pronunciation of the prime minister's name, it turns out, "refers to the male sexual organ in several Arabic dialects." In other words, slang for penis.

After a lifetime of ridiculing it, my partner and I went to Branson for the weekend with his ex-wife's cousin and her husband. They have been going for 35 years and have been badgering us for years, and we finally relented. We stayed in a condo on a golf course with a view of a volcano erupting at a putt-putt golf course. Beavers were running across the "real" golf course. We dined and cruised on the Branson Belle on Table Rock Lake and watched a floozy "America's Got Talent" reject violinist perform while suspended from silks above our heads. We saw deeply, desperately closeted chorus boys all wearing phony wedding rings obviously bought at the same discount house. We went to Silver Dollar CIty. We saw the tornado damage. We saw where Andy WIlliams lives and is trying to recover from his bladder cancer. We saw closeted rednecks rubbing their crotches in outlet mall restrooms. We saw six African Americans, and two of them were on stage. We heard more about Jesus than we hear on televangelism shows. We saw more fat people in one place than we've ever seen - the altitude of the place is sinking from the weight. And we did like the crafts people and sales people in Silver Dollar City, who are local somehow all manage to be authentic and decent and interesting. Anyone else ever see this trip of a place? God, it's so different than I imagined.

I keep seeing people posting a poll on FB which states "Attorney General Holder says, "WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO POSSESS GUNS" As I recall, he is very much in favor of gun restrictions, but I don't think he actually said those words. I can't find links to anything he's said that remotely resembles that. The gun nuts are in a fury again, thinking that the Attorney General wants to remove the 2nd Amendment. It's scary that the gun nuts are always so 'trigger happy' and so unwilling to fact check.

Shoot First, Fact Check Later

They may be gorgeous. They may be fun, interesting, or intriguing. But these are the ones you have to watch out for, whether it be love, friendship, business, or having them serve you a burger: 1. Redheads 2. Short men 3. Skinny white guys who are chubby chasers 4. East Indians 5. Tiny women 6. Straight male choreographers and/or ballet dancers 7. White guys with Rasta hair 8. Women who do not know the difference between day makeup and evening makeup 9. Fat children 10. The OP (Beat you to it.)

If you had a time machine and could go back to witness one event, what would it be? Remember, you are just a passive observer. No going back to change history or do something that you will benefit from in the present. So as much as you want, no killing Hitler, no telling Bobby to avoid walking through that kitchen or buying a ton of Apple stock at rock bottom prices.

This woman's psycho - she really has serious mental, and anger issues.

I'll be happy to help them pack their bags.

They Need to Go Away

Earlier today, Mitt Romney continued his new focus on education policy with a visit to a charter school in West Philadelphia, where, according to this report from Politico's Ginger Gibson, he didn't get "the friendliest of receptions." It wasn't just the usual stuff, either. Sure, you had folks—including Philadelphia's mayor—staging a pro-Obama rally and questioning why Romney even visited in the first place. But the teachers Romney was ostensibly in town to meet with during a roundtable session weren't buying his views on education policy either. One of the teachers mentioned to Romney that she had heard he thought class size didn't matter and attempted to explain to him why she believed he was wrong. Instead of learning from her, Romney proceeded to explain to her why he believed she was wrong, citing a study that said class size wasn't correlated with academic performance. That prompted a rebuttal from another teacher who pointed to a University of Texas study rejecting Romney's claim. Romney got a lifeline when the topic changed from class sizes, but you get the feeling if he'd been allowed to proceed, he wouldn't have stopped his lecture to the teachers on how to they should be doing their jobs. On the bright side, however, Romney largely escaped being mocked for having chosen to highlight the excellence of charter schools by picking a school that, as Gibson notes, "is on warning from the state because it hasn’t made academic progress in the first two years of its existence." He also managed to successfully suppress his overwhelming temptation to ask West Philadelphia locals "who let the dogs out?" And on the brightest note of all, by continuing to talk about education issues, Mitt Romney managed to avoid discussion of Bain or how his experience as the company's founder and CEO would help him improve the American economy.

Mitt Romney goes to West Philadelphia charter school and acts like a douche towards the teachers.

Laser surgeons quoted by The Patient’s Guide cited employment and career advancement as the leading reason people are seeking to have tattoos removed. In fact, employment reasons were noted as the motivation by 40% of people seeking to have tattoos removed, that’s up from 25% in a study conducted in 2011. Patients scheduling tattoo removal claim that the body markings are preventing them from obtaining desired jobs, or retarding their career progress with current employers.

Yesterday, Newark, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker (D) attacked the Obama campaign for making an issue of Mitt Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital during an appearance on Meet the Press. While the progressive leader later backed off the criticisms, Republicans have been quick to highlight his comments as an attack against the idea that scrutiny of Mitt Romney’s record as a businessman is fair game. A ThinkProgress examination of New Jersey campaign finance records for Booker’s first run for Mayor — back in 2002 — suggests a possible reason for his unease with attacks on Bain Capital and venture capital. They were among his earliest and most generous backers. Contributions to his 2002 campaign from venture capitalists, investors, and big Wall Street bankers brought him more than $115,000 for his 2002 campaign. Among those contributing to his campaign were John Connaughton ($2,000), Steve Pagliuca ($2,200), Jonathan Lavine ($1,000) — all of Bain Capital. While the forms are not totally clear, it appears the campaign raised less than $800,000 total, making this a significant percentage. He and his slate also jointly raised funds for the “Booker Team for Newark” joint committee. They received more than $450,000 for the 2002 campaign from the sector — including a pair of $15,400 contributions from Bain Capital Managing Directors Joshua Bekenstein and Mark Nunnelly. It appears that for the initial campaign and runoff, the slate raised less than $4 million — again making this a sizable chunk. In all — just in his first Mayoral run — Booker’s committees received more than $565,000 from the people he was defending. At least $36,000 of that came from folks at Romney’s old firm.

Obama is heads and tails above Mitt Romney in every single way that a vote for Romney is really just a vote to get the nigger out of the White House. Correct?

Anyone else find this bitch annoying?
