i can’t figure out which drug is making me forget simple words but it’s driving me nuts
i couldn’t come up with Cato’s name in class the other day and missed a Lou Reed question on Jeopardy! (because I could not remember Lou Reed’s name) and it is just generally ANNOYING MAKE IT STOP
motherjones:
C’mon, Internets and/or savvy Obama campaign staffers, you’re gonna make this a meme, right?
iamobamacare:
Miss M’s original post that inspired this Tumblr.
would like to thank this nice tumor-free lady for illustrating a key political strategy that for some reason Americans do not understand: if your ideals align with the Democratic party then you need to VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS
“i’m not voting for Obama again, he hasn’t done enough! straight ticket voting is irresponsible! i’m too smart for partisanship!”
i realize you think it is bullshit to have to choose between two choices you do not like, potential voter, but christ, BE RESPONSIBLE
i hate that tumblr doesn’t let you reblog a chat post and then add a comment because when you reblog it as text and then write something it looks like you’re just arguing with whoever reblogged the fucking thing in the first place even when that is not what’s happening
fuck you, tumblr, for perpetuating my socially awkward habits
So this happened
jackieisaslutjudyisacunt:
Republican candidates: FAMILY VALUES FAMILY VALUES FAMILY VALUES
Americans: um hey we’d kind of like jobs
Republican candidates: FAMILY VALUES
Americans: or heath care
Republican candidates: FAMILY VALUES FAMILY VALUES
Americans: you’re not listening are you
Debate moderator: Did you really ask your second wife for an open marriage as she just announced on national tv tonight?
Republican candidates: GASP
Newt Gingrich: HOW DARE YOU ASK ME ABOUT MY FAMILY VALUES IN A PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE HOW IS THIS RELEVANT
Debate moderator:
Americans:
Bill Clinton:
This happened because Republicans can’t run on anything besides social issues because their economic platform benefits nobody except a select few rich white men; the fact that somebody asked Gingrich this during a debate isn’t a point for them, it’s a point for Gingrich. Newt’s relationship with Marianne ISN’T relevant during a presidential debate, and now he’s the candidate who’s willing to take the media to task, which is a huge fucking win for him. And yes, it’s hilarious that Gingrich, of all people, is bitching about this in South Carolina, of all places, but really, it was a fantastic tactic for him. He got a standing ovation from the audience. It’s a narrative that works for him.
