(This post is mostly verbatim from a post by a brilliant writer named scheming daemons, at Democratic Underground. I incorporated some of the thread responses and some thoughts of my own. But definitely go here to read it all.)
President Obama said, “You can keep your insurance.” The only people who are upset over that statement are people who are upset every single day Obama is in office. Click here for more.

Apologies to all my Danish friends, but this seems very timely in light of the current Republican shenanigans.
Dane-geld
It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbor and to say:
“We invaded you last night – we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”
And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ’em the Dane-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!

Quote of the day
Posted: October 6, 2013 Filed under: Take A Stand, The good guys win again, They Don't Make Nostalgia Like They Used To | Tags: douchebaggery, Republicans Leave a comment“This mess was created by the Republicans for one purpose, and they lost. People in my district are calling in for Obamacare — affordable health care — in large numbers. These guys have lost, and they can’t figure out how to admit it… So we sit here until they figure out they fuckin’ lost.”
— Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA), quoted by Slate, on when the government shutdown will end

GOP Congressman on Government shutdown: “This is my idea of fun.”

Reblogged from the always astute and observant Mr. Blunt and Cranky.
The very last thing said during the interview with Congressional Republican David Schweiekert was him saying, “This is my idea of fun.” Listen to him for yourself, get it right from the horse’s ass. (You can click on the audio from NPR on Mr. B & C’s blog.)
That is everything you need to know, peeps. Millions of people out of work, government services taken away, billions of dollars added to the national debt…this, to Republicans, is considered “fun.” It is amusing to them, no doubt, because they will not suffer the consequences of their actions: their salaries and health care will not be cut, and they will continue to live high on the hog, their porcine snouts buried in the public trough.
