How the Senate Makes Afghan Policy

< Our Afghan policy would be more honest if senators always sat in a circle. update: [[I used a truncated photo to fit into the blog space, and I think that may have blunted the point. Oh bother.]]

    Never heard that phrase before.

    Can’t these guys wait until they get back to the cloakroom before they start handling the meaty issues?

    It looks like the guy sitting to McCain’s left can’t believe that Lieberman is wearing latex gloves.

    Lieberman’s press office said that the only reason that he wore those gloves was because he mistakenly thought this was a hearing about TSA search policies.

    So much Bullshit, so little time.

    Especially when senators only work 3 days a week.

    Think how many more gloves they would need if it was a full-time job.

    Sorry, Jim, instead of describing a circle jerk, I’ll provide a link.

    It’s rude but descriptive, in my opinion, of the Senate…!

    OK, well, maybe this type of canvassing is more endemic to politicians than even I suspected.

    That’s an interesting article.

    Maybe the school board president wouldn’t have to touch himself if the superintendent would give him a hand. Anyway, it’s probably her fault for being so hot that the poor guy just can’t control himself. Besides, if he does this all the time, she should be used to it.

    Why do women always get so upset about this stuff? You never hear men complaining about women touching themselves at the office – or anywhere else.

    All this hoopla about men touching themselves is like how Mencken described puritanism: “The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.”
