Day One In Massachusetts
Mitt Romney's "Theocracy" Comes To An End
By Dan McLaughlin Posted in Liberals — Comments (19) / Email this page » / Leave a comment »
You can't make this stuff up, really you can't - new Democratic Governor Deval Patrick gets religion at his inauguration, sort of:
The service began with a series of prayers led by a Native American chief, Vernon "Silent Drum" Lopez, wearing a feather headdress and an ornate beige and fuschia tasselled garment. Lopez led the entire congregation - including the clergy - in turning to face each direction of the compass, as Lopez read a series of prayers.
Of course, Patrick manages to get sanction from the pulpit for same-sex marriage. A preacher talking about public policy from the pulpit? Somebody tell Andrew Sullivan!

Are you telling me I cannot have a little sport at the expense of EmperorGovernor Deval! ???
I mean, I need something the keep life in the People's Republic tolerable, don't I?
I do love the picture, though. I laughed out loud when I saw streiff drag it out a couple weeks ago.

The point here has to do with your hot cousin thing. I am surprised you are still alive. :-)
Envisioning when all that is Left is the Right.

It's clearly time for me to go get my blood sugar levels topped off; this had me scratching my head, too. :)
The Fuzzy Puppy of the VRWC.
Apologies to all - I suppose that line of snark was far, far out of place and I probably should have realized that.
10-minutes in the PB for misconduct. I'll do my time without complaint.
Again, this would be the result of my actually acting on such a thing. I would probably be better off in the seal's place.

You can even mess with Crank. Hey, my post was a community service - I like you. I was afraid you might go to your wife in a weak moment and suggest that "thing" with your cousins because Deval says it's ok. I'm guessing your wifes' genetic makeup on that subject is like Mrs. 908's. It would be really, really ugly.
So I thought a graphic remindeer would be good.

I guess you couldn't see the snark through the sarcasm. My bad, won't repeat.
And had I gone to Mrs. docj with this sort of suggestion I think the result would be pretty much as laid-out by a former House Majority Leader back in the late 90's.

You've been around long enough that I have a very high level of confidence you are not nearly THAT stupid. :>) (We do have some new posters, OTOH...)
I was just looking for a reason to use the cute picture and your number came up.
Hey, I thought your comment was both appropriate and funny. And Armey's comment stands out as one of the all time Top 10 things said about anything.

Ugh, looks like I need to join Moe in some lunch because I'm obviously at a really, really low eb right about now.
Though like your excuse for the picture, any time I can use the Armey quote is a good day for me. Mission Accomplished.

that you're not nearly as cute as the critter on the right and your wife is much better looking than the critter on the left.
:>)

Sincere apologies to your wife.
I don't want to end up the critter on the right...
Wasn't this a fun threadjack?

about to issue a mea culpa to Crank for just that. So, mea culpa, mea cupla, mea maxima culpa! (I think that's how it goes, my formal Latin is a bit dodgy.)
Sorry all, but I'm just not feeling the DEVAL! at the moment. Though I think he's been EmperorGovernor for 4-whole minutes and my income taxes have yet been raised, so I suppose hope springs eternal.

YOU didn't jack this thread, I did. It's not all about YOU. Get over it. Gees, you put a guy on the front page and his head explodes.
Get over it.

Vernon "Silent Drum" Lopez. What a freaking joke, which is made all the more ridiculous by the fact that Massachusetts hasn't had a real native american indian population in about 200 years. I live in Boston and don't know if I should laugh or cry. It's almost as funny as people bitching about Romney because he didn't govern like he was the Governor of Kansas or Arkansas. The Deval crowd goes into a state of apoplexy if their is any refernce to the ten commandments within 100 yards of a government building, but praying to the rain gods is okay. Vernon "Silent Drum" Lopez from Cape Cod. Bwahahahhaha
Interesting that the article didn't mention that.
He was, at some point, the Dean of Harvard Divinity School.
He outed himself during a fight a number of years ago over homosexuality. The conservatives had been able to count on him on a number of issues and so arranged it so that he would speak. And he shocked them by coming out...
Amusing.
He's having one heck of a coronation week, eh? First he get's b-slapped by the legislature controlled 6-1 by his own party (after only finding out about the critical SJC ruling setting-up the vote after returning from overseas on Monday - poor guy!). And then he has the stones to basically say that any adult should be able to marry any other (hey, two of my first cousins are pretty hot - maybe I should look them up! I'm sure my wife wouldn't mind seeing as how Deval! says it's A-OK).
This after spending the last month running in circles over his own budget, backtracking on more things than he ever talked about during the campaign, and it just goes on and on...
But for my taxes going back up to Dukakis levels and the MA GOP continuing to give credit to The Stupid Party™ moniker, it will be grand sport watching this circus up-close the next 2-4 years.
