Howdy!

adlib 7 days ago

Hey, who ate all the shrimp?!

adlib 7 days ago

Gulp! What beer?

adlib 7 days ago

So, how many millions in Ebola deaths out there, PPO?

adlib 7 days ago

We’re living on canned beans and Purel out here!

adlib 7 days ago

PPO – Exactly. But real deaths aren’t scary, especially if they’re by guns.

adlib 7 days ago

Hey…what if we get people under Ebola watch to vote in the really red districts? RW nutjobs would avoid those polling places like…well…the plague.

adlib 7 days ago

With you on that

adlib 7 days ago

Love it, Harleigh!

adlib 7 days ago

Afraid that Ebola may win the write in vote in many GOP states.

adlib 7 days ago

Still waiting though for Texas RWs to work out an alliance with ISIS.

adlib 7 days ago

PPO – Yep, the cantalope calved, Ebola carrying ISIS aligned Mexican 13 year olds.

adlib 7 days ago

Studies may show that poorly educated South Americans score higher on tests than kids in TX public schools.

adlib 7 days ago

PPO – Heard that it was because Boo-Boo’s mom is dating a sex offender. What a shock, her mom isn’t concerned about child exploitation?

adlib 7 days ago

What up, glenn?

adlib 7 days ago

Harleigh, yep, that’s why most watched that show, “As bad as I think things are, at least I’m not them!”

adlib 7 days ago

Thanks for the pop-in, glenn! Have a great weekend!

adlib 7 days ago

Murph probably won’t be here tonight, he’s doing some political work in MO tonight.

adlib 7 days ago

Seeya shortly, PPO!

adlib 7 days ago

Hey Kalima!

adlib 7 days ago

So, looks like Dems are going to pick up some governorships in Nov.

adlib 7 days ago

Harleigh – I think we pickup FL, PA and maybe GA.

adlib 7 days ago

Hey Kes! Thanks for stopping by and saying hi! Hope all goes well tomorrow!

adlib 7 days ago

And Scott Walker could lose in WI!

adlib 7 days ago

Harleigh – If so many in TX were stupid, it wouldn’t be this close. Hope it rains on election day there and the Repubs stare up at the rain in confusion and drown themselves like chickens.

adlib 7 days ago

Harleigh, they successfully changed the meaning of the recall to be about undermining and undoing WI elections. Now that people can vote for or against Walker as part of regular election, he’s in trouble.

adlib 7 days ago

With you on that, hope she can pull it off!

adlib 7 days ago

Hard to believe Kasich is so far up in OH, thought we could can his ass this year.

adlib 7 days ago

And how is RIck Snyder leading in MI? He’s gutted the state and destroyed democracy there. WTF?

adlib 7 days ago

Harleigh, I was thinking about what kind of shooting would finally be shocking enough to force action…and sadly realized it already happened with Sandy Hook. Now what?

adlib 7 days ago

Hey Beatlex!

adlib 7 days ago

Sadly, it seems like Americans have become accustommed to its kids being murdered by guns in its schools. Wow…

adlib 7 days ago

Beatlex – That would take me a little time to consider.

adlib 7 days ago

Most institutions are corrupt. I think that there are many individuals who have integrity but groups are hard to number.

adlib 7 days ago

One “liberal” institution that has become very corrupt is the ACLU, they championed Citizens United among other RW things.

adlib 7 days ago

Nope, the ACLU are no friends of civil rights, they have become corrupt and are oblivious to it. Yes, they sometimes support rights but other times are in sync with the Kochs.

adlib 7 days ago

Got it, Harleigh! That’s what I call vertical integration of productivity!

adlib 7 days ago

And don’t forget the globalization of revenue growth!

adlib 7 days ago

Cost effective hands on from the ground up and all that jazz.

adlib 7 days ago

Hey, it’s that Hazmat Decontamination guy from Unit 4! What up, Funk?

adlib 7 days ago

A little hip-py,

adlib 7 days ago

I’m dressing up this Halloween as a terrified Republican over Ebola.

adlib 7 days ago

PPO – That would actually be a great costume. And hand out unwrapped candy that has your fingerprints on them.

adlib 7 days ago

Benghazipalooza.

adlib 7 days ago

My question is, will the Repubs lose steam after investing heavily in Ebola futures?

adlib 7 days ago

Hey KT!

adlib 7 days ago

PPO – They won’t even give us a day of in the US for a political horse race.

adlib 7 days ago

day off

adlib 7 days ago

Funk – Good point! Maybe we can finally learn what could have happened in Benghazi!

adlib 7 days ago

PPO – No kidding, Americans blab about being the greatest democracy but we have Voter ID and no holiday on election day.

adlib 7 days ago

Some Americans get to vote just by writing a check.

adlib 7 days ago

PPO – Exactly!

adlib 7 days ago

Harleigh – In FL, you can vote a naked mole rat into the Governor’s mansion.

adlib 7 days ago

That’s what we get when the owner of Amazon owns a newspaper. Free and fast delivery of crap.

adlib 7 days ago

Funk – Has to be a link that has an image last name like .jpg.

adlib 7 days ago

Rick Scott in action (h/t Funk):

adlib 7 days ago

glenn and Kes popped in to say hi but had to leave, early mornings for them tomorrow.

adlib 7 days ago

Four more whiskers! Four more whiskers!

adlib 7 days ago

Aren’t all recordings of Palin ridiculous?

adlib 7 days ago

Bristol: “Shooters for everyone in my family and a jello shot for the baby!”

adlib 7 days ago

Welcome Sabreen! Thanks for busting up the boys club here!

adlib 7 days ago

Remember how Bachmann whined that no one was asking her about if she was running in 2016. What about poor Palin, no one is asking her and she “used to be a contandah”.

adlib 7 days ago

Sabreen – Just meant it was good to have you here!

adlib 7 days ago

Funk – If your kids are pissed, you must be doing something right.

adlib 7 days ago

Sabreen – I figured!

adlib 7 days ago

Seems like Ted Cruz has stolen the loony RW crown from Palin. And he IS going to run.

adlib 7 days ago

And considering that the Repubs are using anti-woman, anti-Latino, anti-African American rhetoric to rally their base this year, I don’t see how they recover in 2016. No matter who wins The Senate, I think Repubs lose big time in 2016.

adlib 7 days ago

Harleigh – Huck has a “letting loose a killer who killed again” problem.

adlib 7 days ago

Sabreen – Been running around and missed it! What did Christie say?!

adlib 7 days ago

beatlex – Nope, Cruz has no chance to win the GE but he could win the Repub primary…and bring about an enormous sweep against the Repubs!

adlib 7 days ago

Sabreen – Wow, love that admission! That needs to get a lot more publicity, what a great GOTV tool for Dems!

adlib 7 days ago

PPO – You know it!

adlib 7 days ago

To begin, here’s an article folks can spread around:

adlib 7 days ago

Just Tweeted it out!

adlib 7 days ago

Agreed beatlex, his ship has sunk under the weight of his corrupt nature…and too many KFC Double Downs.

adlib 7 days ago

Sabreen – I can’t stand MSNBC much either, as you say, they were on the same Ebola Panic! bandwagon as Fox News and CNN, their shows are redundant and exploitive. Only shows I can stomach now on MSNBC are Chris Hayes and Maddow.

adlib 7 days ago

PPO – We already have that in CA, states will probably need initiatives to pass such independent districting and voter rules laws because the status quo in office will oppose it.

adlib 7 days ago

Harleigh – MSNBC finally fossilized as a corporate tool over the years, despite the couple of good hosts, it’s just a crappy infotainment channel now.

adlib 7 days ago

O’Donnell was always an egocentric wag, ever since he guaranteed that Tim Pawlenty would be the GOP’s 2012 nominee and belittled any guest who dared challenge his genius…before Pawlenty quickly withdrew, he has lost all credibility with me. And I saw him concocting BS assumptions the other night about Michael Brown in flipping through this week. He is a real douche.

adlib 7 days ago

PPO – Yep, those are far more legit sources for real news than any US based source. Don’t most Americans see how corrupted our institutions have become? I think many do but for some weird reason, they still believe the US corporate news BS.

adlib 7 days ago

Sabreen – That’s right, MSNBC is just a revenue generator and propaganda arm for the RW Comcast CEO. Token pandering to Liberals but the majority of the broadcast day at MSNBC is RW-friendly.

adlib 7 days ago

Harleigh – No kidding, the MSNBC website limits discussions to “news” that appears on MSNBC…not to mention promotional garbage. Yes, people can post comments about anything but only under MSNBC “news” subjects. Those who participate there are voluntarily supporting corporatism.

adlib 7 days ago

Sabreen – It’s sad but the SCOTUS has said that lying is a Constitutional right, that it’s up to citizens to discover lies in politics. Government can stop a soda maker from lying but not powerful politicians who can severely harm the lives of millions of Americans. Makes sense to me. Not.

adlib 7 days ago

Sabreen – Yes, O’Donnell was just pulling all kinds of assumptions out of his ass about what the autopsy report clearly told us all and the lawyer he had on as a guest had to keep demurring when he insisted they agree with each assumption.

adlib 7 days ago

Sabreen – Wow, Chuck Todd and Luke Russert are such hacks, don’t understand why anyone puts any weight into anything they say.

adlib 7 days ago

Arianna has popped her top with all this New Agey crap. Too much money puts you in a bubble and in it, she is just getting more and more whacked out.

adlib 7 days ago

Seeya PPO! Have a great weekend!

adlib 7 days ago

Harleigh – Yep, Ariannology will clear you of all those Thetans blocking your money receptors!

adlib 7 days ago

How anyone can still believe in that woman, her tabloid monstrosity or her ridiculous psychobabble is astounding to me.

adlib 7 days ago

Sabreen – Fox is openly an unofficial propaganda arm of the GOP. Isn’t it sad that such a thing exists in America and is so accepted?

adlib 7 days ago

Harleigh, she finally got what she was scheming for and after that, no more need to play the “I’m a Progressive!” game.

adlib 7 days ago

Sabreen – Yep, the RW Elite created a very successful propaganda infrastructure by appealing to the basest of people’s insticts. Primarily, fear. How sad so many people are so foolish and easily misled.

adlib 7 days ago

Night Sabreen, have a wonderful weekend!

adlib 7 days ago

Harleigh – Actually, there have never been laws against the press lying aside from libel laws. William Randolph Hearst and many before him lied to America to push their agendas. Sad but true, it is an American tradition, the press lying to the American people.

adlib 7 days ago

I’ll check it out, that’s kind of the last shoe to drop if we don’t have enforceable libel laws against the press.

adlib 7 days ago

Night Harleigh! Have a great weekend!

adlib 7 days ago

Well, looks like it’s about that time, to wrap the Vox Bar for the night. Thanks to all for another great chat!

adlib 7 days ago

Huh? WTF are libel laws then?

adlib 7 days ago

Hey Murph, how did it go?

adlib 7 days ago

Have to take what little wins you can get when big wins are blocked by ignorance.

adlib 7 days ago

Right, that is a success.

adlib 7 days ago

A bit dismaying that Americans now seem to take for granted that school shootings are not so unusual. We missed our moment after Sandy Hook.

adlib 7 days ago

WTF? Just what we need, putting students in a crossfire.

adlib 7 days ago

It will never really help. Shooters have the element of surprise, no one is prepared for a shooting to begin and unless it’s a really 1 in a million situation, no matter who is armed at school, they could never stop the primary murders of a mentally ill student.

adlib 7 days ago

Busy but well. All else well by you?

adlib 7 days ago

Thanks, will do!

adlib 7 days ago

Hey there!
