Love that man. This is what intelligence in politics looks like. - Mark Dodson

"Thanks! The story is a great find. I'm happy to promote it." - Mark Dodson

"It really does seem like he's like a small child acting out for the attention. Probably best to ignore him altogether since it doesn't seem he has anything of relevance to add to the conversation." - Mark Dodson

"Ha! I was going to go with "the physical manifestation of the Blue Screen of Death"." - Mark Dodson

Damn! Guess the US is slowly backing away from being a civilized country again, then :-( - Rene Wirtz

If this turns out to be accurate, there are going to be a lot of Senators who lose their jobs come 2010. - Mark Dodson from email

It's the religious groups that are putting the screws on those on the left who are caught in the middle between their beliefs and the new health care bill. - Rene Wirtz

Religious groups? I hadn't heard that. I was led to believe it was ConservaDems holding it hostage. Which religious groups are involved? - Mark Dodson from email

It is not a fact I am stating, but you are right, it is the conservative dems (the ones most religious probably) who have difficulty reconciling their beliefs vs "appalling" things like abortion in the bill. I', pretty sure the catholic church and the LDS are using everything they can to sway the blue dogs. Also, see how Patrick Kennedy was banned from receiving communion because he is not against abortion like a good catholic should. - Rene Wirtz

Very clever, although I'm curious if it raises awareness. - Mark Dodson

I think if they want to lay claim to the word, then they have to actually start teabagging at these protests. At least it would be something to cover on the news. - Mark Dodson

Couldn't agree more. - Mark Dodson

Anyone know if Chrome will be available for older PPC macs? - Mark Dodson

One step closer to civilization! :-) - Rene Wirtz

Thank god. - Mark Dodson from email

"I'm continually stunned by how far of the deep end some of these folks have gone. I was always aware that the right was far more effective at nursing political tribalism than Democrats were, but it's seriously approaching a cult-like devotion to their idea of authority." - Mark Dodson

Yea, that's not creepy at all. - Mark Dodson

In a word, no. - Mark Dodson

Why we're at it, ask why they didn't push back harder, or at all against the elevation of Roberts and Alito to the Supreme Court? I'm afraid they've been a classic example of the "veal pen" groups Hamsher wrote about not too long ago. - Mark Dodson

"I've wondered myself if this isn't the beginning of the end of the elders of the party who have refused to push back against the lunacy the Tea Party lunatics. There are slightly more sane voice in the party who have been pushed out in favor of these folks. Maybe it's time they used this as a pretence to take their party back. It'll be fun to watch for the next few election cycles though." - Mark Dodson

Colbert is going to have a field day with this. - Mark Dodson

Randall Terry + Paris Hilton = Fred Phelps - Mark Dodson

This would have been a much better movie. Shame it didn't get made. - Mark Dodson

Might just the smartest piece of advice I've read thus far for the coming 2010 elections. - Mark Dodson

Just sent an invite your way. You should hear something from Google in about 48 hours. - Mark Dodson

I'm sure this will soon be seen on Miley Sirus. - Mark Dodson

I already have the EpixHD invite, but I'd be happy to send along a Wave invite. What's your email? - Mark Dodson

itsgiancarlo at gmail.com thanks in advanced - Giancarlo Caparo

Done. You should receive it in a couple of days. - Mark Dodson from iPhone

I haven't experienced any instability since the last update (to v4.0.223.11), so I'd nudge you towards giving it a try at least! - Andrew Terry

I couldn't even get Chrome to install on mine (an old G4). Is Chrome just for the Intel Macs? - Mark Dodson

"On Monday, we reported on the House GOP's plans to target AARP in the health care reform debate. Republican leaders say AARP is supporting changes to the Medicare system included in Democratic health care reform bills because they would result in more sales of AARP-branded insurance. They claim that "backroom deals" between executives of the AARP and Democratic leadership -- deals the GOP say are designed to protect the executives' high salaries -- led to the group's pro-Medicare reform stance. Yesterday, the message gained traction among the right wing commentariat. AARP flatly denies the claims and says it's beginning to feel a little like the GOP's new ACORN. "Oh, absolutely," an AARP official told TPMDC. "They're using their standard methods to target us."" - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

Am I the only one who think that graphic looks like an elephant passing gas? Hilarious! - Mark Dodson
