Darn, I hate to miss that one. (4.00 / 2)

Just standing outside taking photos of the line would be a hoot.

Speaking of Sarah, here's the always-trenchant Mudflats' take on NY-23:

"Thought I'd share a newly developed recipe for Elephant Upside-Down Surprise Cake. First you take a congressional district that has had Republican representation in the U.S. House of Representatives since two decades before the Civil War, then add a teabag, pour on some hot steamin' Sarah Palin, add a squeeze of Rush Limbaugh, then carefully strain the mixture until there is no trace of the moderate Republican. Then just wait and watch. Pretty soon you'll have....Surprise! A Democrat! There you go folks. Dems across the land can now send thank you notes to Our Lady of Perpetual Meddling. Can't wait to find out whose fault THIS one is going to be."

I'm not short.  I'm fun size!!

Number? (4.00 / 1)

We should all scarf up as many numbers as we can then raffle them off to the Palinuts and then donate those bucks to our progressive candidates! Sounds like a plan to me.

Oh my. (4.00 / 1)

First the whole Larry Langford ordeal, and now Focus on the Fundies, teabaggers, and Caribou Barbie. Hasn't poor Birmingham had enough already?

Y'all have hit the trifecta of wingnuttery (0.00 / 0)

With a dash of good, old fashioned corruption thrown in.  Maybe all of this will get the ordinary people of Birmingham sufficiently riled up to take their government back for the people who live there.

Work harder and work smarter!

That heifer is coming here?  I now know to avoid Colonial Brookwood Village on the 23rd...
