  • @maddow – Santorum (after speech) = republicrat? #
  • @MMFlint – how did Santorum capture some kind of "republicrat" narrative? What a croc. #
  • #iacaucus #SantoruMentum = Republicrat #
  • @chrislhayes – Santorum has evolved into a fully formed evolution of a candidate – the elusive Rebublicrat – a species w/ no dominant trait. #
  • @fakedansavage – BREAKING: Republicrats have become officially dangerous to the health of Iowans. #

    bon temps mes amis
    it’s no longer the evening
    and I have been drinking again

    I’ve toasted myself
    in spite of my health
    I will roll ‘em on over again

    it’s tra-la and tra-lee
    we’ve stolen the seed
    it will not grow back from within

    they’ll procure no doubt
    some source from without
    and bathe our souls in our sins

    flyin’ on blackberry wine
    run down and ragged in time
    I would beg the lord for a dime
    I will bathe my soul in my sin

    bon temps mes amis
    I can’t feel my knees
    I’m tired of this blasphemous gin

    I will try in the night
    to wake in the morning
    the same man that I left in the evening

    but I’m sullen and lonely
    Tex’ says it’s only
    acute aversion to the light

    so bon temps mes amis
    we have sewn all the seeds
    and I’m better alone in the night.

    flyin’ on blackberry wine
    run down and ragged in time
    I would beg the lord for a dime
    I will bathe my soul in my sin

    despite all my friends
    their bitter ends
    I will roll them bones again

    bon temps mes amis
    we’ve sewn all the seeds
    and I have been drinking again

Even more alarming though, when corporation-related, nearly as soon as they’re born, they’re being hunted down like the animals they’re feared to become.

    Take for instance the short-lived @condeelevator, an amalgam of hilarious over-heards from the elevators of the Manhattan offices of Conde Nast, the publishing company responsible for such anti-materialism gems as Vogue, amongst others.

    The latest to fall appears to be birthed from the inner-sanctum of none other than Goldman Sachs. Internal managers have promised just short of an inquisition into the matter, and some speculate that this was the reason that Lloyd Blankfein has retained outside counsel (not really, I just made that up). Either way, @GSElevator made to Page 6 and Gawker, and it contributed some hilarity to our world, so I thank the mind behind it. I hope the Goldman goons never find him or her, and live in fear as such.

    Next steps, you ask?

    I’m going to purge my twitter feed of all real profiles. Vanity sucks. Let’s all laugh a little.

    Bizarre, random, hilarious.

    How do you titillate an ocelot?

    Well, apparently you oscillate its tit a lot.
