I want Glenn Beck to give me proof that he won't murder abortionists. Not that I think he will, but I feel like he will, and I know a lot of other people out there feel like he will too. I don't need any proof, because I know he wouldn't, but I want some proof.

you're doing it wrong.
the right way is to not even leave it open for proof. You say that you know he won't do it, but you still WANT to ask him if he's planning on doing it.
Essentially, you accuse him of it, without giving him the opportunity to defend himself (because it isn't a "real" accusation)

It's not that different from the trope 'people say' bullshit. I mean, hey, I'm not saying it. People are. Those bastards. So why are you getting all defensive at me? I'm on your side. It's just those dastardly persons who want me to ask this insane question.

I am kind of an asshole, so I thought it was funny instead of tragic when Beck cut the senator's defense off with, "Stop defending yourself because you don't need to! I'm just saying you should!"
Captain Carrot is a naive (or is he?...) individual who would not recognize an emoticon ASCII of a Penis.
I can't imagine Captain Carrot would recognize any emoticon or ASCII at all, really. Unless a further Discworld sequel has a really weird plot.
Mm, he is deceptively clever. It's not as if ASCII is this incredibly complex code.
Yes but early Captain Carrot would honestly not recognize it while later Captain Carrot would just act as if he didn't.....probably. I mean, he's have to, right? He's a copper, there is no way...

Senate Democrats entered the Senate chamber through a back hallway on Tuesday afternoon and locked themselves in, pulling off a sneak attack of sorts in the ongoing battle for control of the State Senate.
Senate Democrats entered the Senate chamber through a back hallway on Tuesday afternoon and locked themselves in, pulling off a sneak attack of sorts in the ongoing battle for control of the State Senate.
Wow. Really, just... wow.
In the earlier thread on the NY Senate I speculated that they'd have some kind of non-insane procedure for handling this, but apparently not.
So apparently they're just going to pretend that they've won and see who can maintain the pretense the longest. Like, by occupying the podium first and then asking the senate guards to block the other guy from getting on. O_o
Exactly who was in control of the Senate — or whether any of the procedural action the Republicans had taken was legally valid — was unclear. Democrats were successful in blocking Republicans from taking control of the Senate gavel, which remained firmly in the hands of Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins of Westchester County, who was guarded by sergeants-at-arms on both sides.
Shortly after Republicans walked onto the Senate floor, their leader, Dean G. Skelos, called the chamber to order and asked one of the Senate Republicans’ deputy leaders, George H. Winner Jr., to “take the podium.†Mr. Winner, who was standing at the front of the chamber, attempted to climb the stairs that lead to the podium where the presiding officer stands but was stopped by a Senate guard.
“Senator Skelos,†Mr. Winner responded, “I have been instructed by the sergeant-at-arms not to take the podium.†Mr. Winner then walked to a desk in front of the podium, called the Senate to order from there and began calling votes on a list of bills. Since Democrats sat silent and did not voice any objections, Mr. Winner claimed that each bill passed by a vote of 62 to 0.

Only way it could be topped if there were two completely independent sessions going on at the same time, each passing bills unanimously, followed by resolutions about the other side being douche bags.

ALBANY —Republicans and Democrats attempted to hold separate Senate sessions at the same time on Tuesday, leaving the Capitol in confusion and bickering as members of both parties shouted over each other on the Senate floor, and each party claimed it was in control.
...
Republicans attempted to continue passing bills as Democrats called their moves out of order and moved to bring Senate proceedings at ease.

I would, without a doubt, pay money to see this.
I find the most shocking thing that the R's decided to show up an hour early so when things were forced to start at 3 they'd be the ones standing at the podium.
The D's showed up at 12:30 and locked the doors.
I am amazed it was the D's who showed foresight in petty theatrics.
Maybe they'll get some paint and divide the room in half.
And maybe when they're done with that, they could have some whacky adventures in loving and learning and laughing.
I'm picturing this:
Daaaaad, the Republicans are legislating on our side of the room!
Followed by this:
Daaaaad, tell the Democrats to let us have the gavel!
The NY Senate today passed a bipartisan resolution to saw the NY Capitol building in half.
This bill is expected to stimulate the state's economy through its several thousand chainsaw-owners.
I can imagine the hijinks that will ensue when the Democrats discover the Republicans have the TV on their side, and the Republicans realize the Democrats have the fridge.

Nixon worried that greater access to abortions would foster “permissiveness,” and said that “it breaks the family.” But he also saw a need for abortion in some cases, such as interracial pregnancies.
“There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white,” he told an aide, before adding: “Or a rape.”
Even from beyond the grave this guy creeps me out.

We really need a running recording of every single elected official's private conversations. If it weren't a horrible violation of their civil rights, it would be incredibly illuminating.
Oh good, the right wing blogs are exploding over Obama taking a question from Huffington Post.
Apparently Obama had heard that HuffPo was receiving questions from Iranians that they wanted to ask Obama, and so Obama met with HuffPo to go over the particulars about it during his press conference.
Apparently this means all of Obama's press conferences and town halls are scripted and further proof that the media is just the long arm of the DNC/Obama's administration.

On Tuesday, sources told News 4's Nigel Robertson that a state vehicle is missing and was tracked down, not to the Appalachian Trail, but to the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta. Sources told Robertson that a federal agent spotted Sanford in the airport boarding a plane. Robertson was told that the governor was not accompanied by security detail.
He's in Iran, fighting for freedom!
Unlike those pansy ass Democrats, all not wanting to meddle in Iran's affairs. He's a traditionalist when it comes to foreign policy.
