Megan - I'm so glad to be done with this fucking week. Birthers, beer bongs and stupidity, oh my.

8:58

The Brain of Megan - I'm glad I'm drinking coffee now instead of after, because I'm not sure I could handle this bullshit otherwise.

9:01

Megan - Well, it's not all bad news. Lou Dobbs' dip into the birther cesspool seems to have driven his ratings even lower. No one can out-Glenn-Beck Glenn Beck.

9:01

The Brain of Megan - Meh. He'll just go back to race-baiting Latinos, stick to what he knows.

9:03

Megan - Bill Maher's weighed in and asked Democrats and the media to put it all to rest.

9:04

The Brain of Megan - Right, because no one tried that before by releasing the birth certificate, or the announcements in the newspaper or, I dunno, Robert Gibbs addressing it at a press conference. These people are not members of the reality-based community.

9:05

Megan - Congressman Roy Blunt is back-tracking now on his bullshit that Obama hasn't produced a certificate. How did he not get the memo about this issue?

9:07

The Brain of Megan - He was really busy with his hair. That shit's a full time job. It's Blago-levels of epic, albeit more of the helmet-head school of thought than feathered.

9:13

The Brain of Megan - Besides 11% of Americans don't believe that Obama was born in the United States. And fully 28% of Republicans. Don't even get me started on people who answered "Don't know." I hope that's the functional equivalent of "Don't care."

9:15

Megan - But at least the economy isn't sucking as bad as everyone expected?

9:17

The Brain of Megan - Oh, great, that's probably just because all the companies that got bailouts have returned to paying the guys that caused the financial crisis as much as they ever did. And Obama's "Cash for Clunkers" program ran out of money in a week, which is totally going to piss people off more than not passing a health reform bill.

9:20

Megan - Well, but, look, Lois Capps got an amendment passed, as suggested by Tim Ryan, that would keep abortion as an option in the public option assuming there's even a public option

9:20

The Brain of Megan - That's a pretty big damn "if."

9:20

Megan - Why are you so pessimistic this morning?

9:21

The Brain of Megan - That throbbing in your left temple.

9:21

Megan - Good call, that's really starting to hurt.

9:21

The Brain of Megan - You're telling me.

9:28

Megan - Anyway, so: The Beer Summit. The President drank Bud Light, Gates and Crowley are totes going to talk again and we can go back to being a post-racial country now, just like white people like.

9:28

The Brain of Megan - Man, if we're discussing the beer summit, it's time for Advil.

9:32

The Brain of Megan - I mean, is there really anything else to say? Has this dead horse successfully been beat into a bloody pulp to the point that all that remains in the bloody shadow of a horse driven so deep into the concrete that can't be washed away? [No horses were hurt in the making of this metaphor]
