Open Thread – Bad Rubbish
I got this shot from Mudflatter Zyxomma in New York City, with the message:
“I was passing by a trashcan, and look what I saw within!”
I believe this is one of those “picture worth a thousand words” moments.

WOOT! Mazie Hirono. Japanese-American-Buddhist-Athiest-Congresswoman just beat out blue dog Case for the Dem candidate for the US Senate election! (See previous posts about her.) And Tulsi Gabbard, female war veteran Hindu pro-lgbt rights emily’s-list candidate just won the right to run for her former House seat. Good night in Hawaii, even if it’s too cloudy to see the meteor shower!
Just bumping up the question so many of us have for AKM. What’s the future of the forum? Is it permanently dysfunctional, or will it be up and running again. And if the latter, any idea when?
It is in the works, I promise. We’re shooting for next week! I will keep you posted! 🙂
If ever there were a time for The Forum to be up and running, that time is now. Why? Because Willard’s running mate was just announced, and it’s none other than vampire prince Paul Ryan. The vulture and the vampire — made for each other, no?
Five things every voter needs to know about Paul Ryan:

Ryan is one scary Dude!!!!!!!! Talk about War on women’s rights——-whew!
What country are we living in anyway——-Afganistan?
Oh—I fogot—–we aren’t suppose to mention the War. $2 billion a week, and men and women dying. Is this how Rommney expects to create more jobs? Send more men and women to fight another War?
Rommney can’t even complete a sentence without flubbing up. If he was president he would crap his britches.
Mike Lofgren, a former Republican “Washington insider” has a new book called “The Party Is Over: How Republicans Went Crazy, Democrats Became Useless, and the Middle Class Got Shafted.” Alternet has an excerpt, and it’s rich:

Here’s some “fun” news from Estes Park, CO:

That was pretty cool, zyxomma – thanks for sharing!
“Balls of joy” ??
I know, I know!
I loved this one. Our family went to Estes Park for our vacation for many years. We just missed being caught in the Canyon when the damm broke a number of years ago.
Congratulations, Anchorage. You’re #12 on the list of best small cities in which to live if you’re aging/aged:

hahahaha caw Caw CAW!!!
The forum has been down for awhile now. Any idea about when it will be functional again? If ever?
Wondering the same thing … between the mudflats forum being down, and the Olympics bumping Chris Hayes and Melissa Harris-Perry on the weekends, I sure am getting a lot more housework done, but I MISS YOU GUYS!!! *sigh* I know, be patient….
It is thought that Rommney’s chances are getting slim.

Interesting. Always interesting to see our politics and politicos from others’ eyes.
Hope so.
Mr Romney is pitiful.
I am SO glad I had the iPhone with me!
Me too:-)
hehehehe…
Bwa ha ha! *snicker*
Speaking of trash…y’all caught this one on Wonkette, right?
http://wonkette.com/480159/here-is-a-picture-of-sarah-palin-looking-wonderfully-elegant-and-refined
The horror, the horror….John McCain needs to have platform shoes thrown at his head.
Did you say elegant? EEEEE Gods—-I think she looks like crap!
Lacy Lady, take your tongue and plant it firmly in your cheek and then I think you’ll understand what Wonkette was trying for. ROFLMAO!! I am certain Quittypants Palin figured it out right away and there are a few more heavy dents in a certain refrigerator in Wasilla.
Someone should really remind her how old she is. Little boy t-shirts were cute on my daughter when she was in high school, and even now that she is 30. She has a great trim figure and looks young for her age. Ms Palin does not look so young anymore. She just looks like she is trying to forget how old she is.
But those shoes? Ugly! on anyone, any age.
As we say in The Forum (yes, I’m still going through withdrawal), :agree:
Good God – I’d seen that picture somewhere and didn’t even realize it was her! Am I crazy, or does she look rather wafer thin compared to usual? weird, and those shoes are CREEPY! Superwoman Dominatrix? weird weird weird…
