United States of America
Got to thinking... (always dangerous...)
I expect Ruth Buzzard Ginsberg to be the next to go.
If we hold out 'til then, just let it be.
Reading through the comments, I read aloud to Milady:
365 F**K a light bulb just exploded over my head.

...Constitutional THREAT of the day...
While you were looking elsewhere, Lindsey girl gives us the Constitutional thread of the day...
I was all set to tell this funny story about the time my wife met Joan Baez in a bar in Chicago.
Then I remembered it was Buffy StMarie (I think).
Notsothoreau #48: This is an excellent speech by Greg Walden. His district is where the Oregon standoff is.
We hold these truths to be self-evident
that all men are created equal, that...
all men regardless of race...
all men and women...
Feelthe Bern on Face the Nation: Gun control is a job for federal office-holders rather than state governments
Brown Line: ...at one point describing "acres of parking" around Wrigley Field: oy veh!
Perhaps he was thinking of Cominsky [sic]?
mindful - Thank you for the review "The Time Traveller's Wife". I'll be sure to put it on my queue.
Oh, forgot to mention a very personal aspect of re-reading Time Traveler's Wife - the main "present time" and place for the story is North side of Chicago, in the early 1990s.
USS John C. Stennis - now propelled by... wind power!
BB Wolf: Hell.... New York... couldn't even be original enough to come up with different names for City and State...
BB Wolf: So today they said the Boats Iran snagged, did NOT have engine problems...
It was a horrible Internet video that we had nothing to do with.
Regressives continue plugging away on gun grabbing...
Remember how they kept failing on socialized health care? (Like, Hillary?) Then, suddenly, here we are.
Trimegistus: ...can I request a ban on the term "The Big Easy"? ... It was invented out of whole cloth in the 1970s, and needs to be retired like most other bad ideas from that decade.
Carol: ...Heat is coming up & making a lot of noise.
All this talk of lamb and no mention of Gyros? It can be good or mediocre, but pressed beef and lamb gyros became one of my favorite foods the first time Milady took me to a Greek restaurant.
New Madrid... First read about the possible effects of "if it happened today" some forty years ago. I think the article said they thought it likely to happen in the next 50 years...
Was saving these for the morning thread, but... (refreshes main page one last time)... nope, still not up.

Vic: New year coming up with new laws going into effect.
First they passed PP funding in the Omniverous bill. Then, they plan to pass bills to de-fund it. Which Obama can veto, and they can say they tried.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Friday warned Republican voters to steer clear of nominating Tea Party candidates who can't win in next year's general election.
VIA: Paul Ryan seems to have pissed off a rather large number of people.
Not just Ryan.

Um... hello, again.

Alas, I also expect our two "Republican" Senators, the old venerable Inhofe and the new RINOish Lankford, to be voting Yay [sic] on the bill, as well.
So, neither house of Congress has voted yet on the gazillion dollar budget bill, izzat right? The way it's been talked about, seemed like it had already been passed.
Happy holidays!
I get caught up on book comments, and I check and, yeah, elbows thread is up, of course.
Not supposed to mean the book thread expired, of course, but, called the Horde for a reason.
