Picture a squat, glazed, earthenware vessel.

[Atticus]

It's commonly referred to as a "crock".

Now imagine that it is filled---overflowing, actually,--- with what I'll call "male bovine feces". (I'm struggling to be nice, despite several scotches)

What label shall we stencil on the side of this container? How shall we name our aromatic stoneware?

This is too easy. There's only one currently correct answer: BIPARTISAN HEALTH REFORM BILL!

Chuck Grassley (R-Headupassistan), less than 24 hours after being named by President Barrack Hussein Obama(that's just to piss off any lurking Freepers)as a "reasonable and sincere" Republican negotiating for "compromise" health reform bill, says, on video, that the government should not be involved in "pulling the plug on grandma" and that deathers are "right to be concerned".

Can you say "Kiss my ass!" boys and girls? That's what we should say to Grassley and Boehner and McConnell and the Blue Dogs. If they are going to get all pissy-faced about WHATEVER we push through, let's do single-payer.

That's all I've got right now.
