The chick next to baldy in the blue shirt is kind of hot. So I've got that going for me.

This is your taxpayer money at work.

So how many votes by Mickey Mouse? My Republican friends on the lake here know there are lots of those, since they know someone who put them there, wink wink nudge nudge, know what I mean?

Sweet mother of bureaucracy that looks dull

Pfff . light weights -- I remember the Florida recounts and hanging Chad

-- ( Chad was a bastard and he deserved it )

I haven't had something so 'exiting' since I last ate Mexican and got Santorum.

Some of us did find the Franken recount process gripping. It was a great opportunity to look into the system of voting and the challenges in delivering such a system. Especially observing what worked and what didn't and how to improve it.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!

pretty sure blue baldy and cutey mcheroin have something going on

The cute girls posture is just horrific. She definitely got the Mr Burns thing going on there. Reminds me to sit up straight when I'm at the computer.

If you ended up with Santorum from just eating Mexican.... I'm going to venture you're doing it, at least slightly, wrong.

Oh, he's eating Mexican all right. First name Juan.

Roy_G_Biv: Shaggy_C: This is your taxpayer money and union dues at work.

This is actually exactly why choosing representatives like Scott Walker is to be avoided. Once the taxes are collected, you do not get to pick and choose where your portion of the money goes. I would have loved to say my taxes go to welfare and infrastructure programs but do not support the wars. Or that they support armor for the soldiers but not building ineffective weapons platforms. But I recognize that the lack of that discretion is part of the social contract when living here. The only way to try and counter that is to choose better representatives who utilize the power and money as effectively and productively as possible.

I bet the guy in the back corner is looking at porn. He looks like the kind of guy who'd do that at work.

Because the unions don't like him and will waste everyone's time and money to recall him. Fark them!

He was. That's why these scum are trying to recall him. If you'd rather have taxe rates increased to pay for the excessive bennies for public sector workers, you should probably simply move across the border to Illinois. I hear that's working out really great for them.

Did they have to hire some of those people? Maybe Walker finally created some jobs!

It was gripping. I especially like how, when Franken was down fifty votes, Walker said he should conceed, but when Walker himself was down fifty votes, he didn't.

"Teachers are bilking the system for a luxurious lifestyle" has been an effective message so far. Stay on that.

Roy_G_Biv: If you'd rather have taxe rates increased to pay for the excessive bennies for public sector workers,

Yes, I'm parsing, because I don't think you're being serious at all. But this point comes up and I have never understood why everyone's solution to problems is to remove things. Why don't we ask why our non-union companies can't reach for similar standards and lift ourselves to a better place? Why does the "solution" always have to be "well I'm wallowing in shiat, so I'll pull these folks down in it so they can have a miserable time too!"?

Want to teach their IT guy a thing or two about cable management.

I will be disappointed if there isn't at least one Lizard Person.

Holy crap it's in HD too.

How's that working out in Illinois?

I seem to recall someone referring to that as "having skin in the game".

Is that when Lincoln took them both on in a wrestling match?

SnakeLee: Hmmm these are the quotes in your profile:

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom,"

That sure sounds like being a government employee to me.

"When Fascism comes to America, it will come in the guise of Anti-Fascism."

You may want to take them down now as you seem to have changed your principles since when you put them up.

So, rioting to override the will of the voters and keep the high pay of your government job isn't fascism? And somehow, a public official, duly elected by the people, reducing costly benefits is?

Certainly, if ineffectively implemented in one place with a very short track record, the idea clearly has absolutely no merit. How is it working out for Google? Turns out quite well.

Right except, the opposite of right, in that the goal of that is that everyone tries to do well because they are in it collectively. Dragging someone else down actually hurts you in that scenario.

My mom's gonna be famous!

now some twit(terer) just needs to go and let her know.

Because public schoolteachers are known for their huge paychecks and lavish lifestyles.

Seriously, who TF does this lady thing she is with a sweater AND shirt?! Wear a single layer like the rest of us Marie Antoinette!!

Nearly half of these signatures could be ineligible and the recall would still be on.

This is the strangest game of musical chairs I've seen in my entire life.

Oh... it's on!

WhackingDay: Holy crap it's in HD too.

Wait, it is? Holy crap indeed! Enhance!

Any hint yet what sort of shenanigans are going to invalidate or at least screw up the results?
