(Hat tip to the SpatulaGoddess – long may she exude, etc, etc.  )
I’m always loathe to quote Politico – but I think this is Damn Fine Stuff™ – even if it is  by Benji “Lips Firmly Planted On Obambi’s ass” Smith.
House minority leader John Boehner’s spokesman confirms the accuracy of this quote, from an Ohio student newspaper:
“Now, listen, I’ve voted ‘present’ two or three times in my entire 25-year political career, where there might have been a conflict of interest and I didn’t feel like I should vote,” Boehner said. “In Congress, we have a red button, a green button and a yellow button, alright. Green means ‘yes,’ red means ‘no,’ and yellow means you’re a chicken s***.
“And the last thing we need in the White House, in the oval office, behind that big desk, is some chicken who wants to push this yellow button.”
My only question is:  Where the Hell™ was this three months ago when we needed it? 
Well, no, not really.  Your obdt. svt. (a little Blackie Sherrod lingo, there) was out like the proverbial light & dead to the world.  But it appears the earth did  move last night.
Two minor earthquakes shook the Dallas-Fort Worth area overnight, waking residents, setting off car alarms and spooking pets. But no major damage was reported.
The U.S. Geological Survey says a 2.5-magnitude earthquake centered in the Grand Prairie area was reported at 11:25 p.m. Thursday. A slightly stronger 3.0-magnitude quake centered in the Irving area occurred 36 minutes later.
And no, Mr. Hartung – I may have been Chick Chasing™ last night, but that doesn’t mean I caught one…
MERLIN, KORRIOTH, K’HADIBAK’H, OZY, T-BONE: 
VENOMOUS:  Oh, hush, you.
Ace is reporting (through Cold Fury) that ’70s reject Erica “Fear of Thinking” Jong is threatening riots if B. HUSSEIN!!!  Obambi loses on Tuesday.
I got four words:
Bring.  It.  On.  Bee-yotches.
