Oh boy! Another caption contest.

“I’m going to do what I want anyway so, I think I will take a nap while these clowns jabber away at each other. Wake me.

I’m not going to look. I don’t know where Joe got the picture of Coulter taking a leak at the urinal, but it’s hardly news.

The sleep deprivation isn’t working. Break out the waterboard!

Summers can sleep all he wants just as long as he keeps improving the economy.

Oh boy! Another caption contest.

Summers can sleep all he wants just as long as he keeps improving the economy.

Would that that was what HE was accomplishing, Matt . . .
.
Can ANYONE tell me exactly WHAT Summers has been doing?

HAH! Professorial Karma.

“I knew I shouldnta gone to that Snoop Dogg concert”
“If I close my eyes hopefully nobody will ask me any questions about Geitner”
“Staying up late trolling on Paul Krugman’s blog is very hard work”

KT, did you hear about stuart’s departure?
.
“Staying up late trolling on Paul Krugman’s blog is very hard work”
.
SG, LOL.

Rose: No. What happened?

You think counting sheep puts you to sleep, try counting stimulus dollars!

greenlyfe – agreed. Can imagine Summers’ contempt for anyone sleeping through his lectures. But I expect there are a lot of administration types not getting a lot of sleep.

Credit card reps: “But Mr. President, can’t you just tell Americans that unless they go out and shop the terrorists have won? That worked great for us when George Bush was in office!”

That’s the last time I take Viagra on a work night.

KT – see the comments on page 2 forward for a recap of Stuart’s reasons for leaving, with a link to the original thread, courtesy of Rose – if she doesn’t respond.

kathy, thanks for posting that.

He’s thinking what to call the new international currency that will replace the dollar.

ZOMG
.
This has happened to all of us, but what a photo. Or maybe I’m wrong. Maybe this has happened to ME and not to other people.

At the risk of commenting on a dead thread:
.
I followed the links back to Monday and read the exchange between SZ, Dee in MD, and sgw (mainly).
.
Everybody involved was having a bad day, and everybody shares in the responsibility for having a discussion devolve into a hissy-fit. These things happen. It’s not the end of the world.
.
SZ will post here again if and when he sees fit to do so. Personally, I hope he does, but he’s a grown-up and can decide for himself.

i can’t find the link to where sz jumped off. where is it? i can go and try to get him back.

KT,
.
It took me a while to back-track, and I didn’t think to save the link (my very bad). It was from April 20, and the thread included a link from rusty that’s so-o-o-o-o long that you’ll know it when you see it – it’s paragraphed by years. I believe the subject was torture. I didn’t note the headline, either.
.
I’m ok as a Friar but I obviously suck as a detective.

HEY! HEY, YOU GET BACK TO WORK, YOU LAZY SOB! WE’RE PAYING YOU TO ROB US BLIND, NOT TO SIT AROUND AND SLEEP!

Larry discovers why Ambien and a three martini lunch don’t go well together.

KT:
Here is where stuartZ “jumped off”, shortly after being berated for defending my right to be on this blog.
.
I do hope you can convince stuartZ to come back, he is a good friend despite his leftist ideals.

“what is going on in this thread seems to be a contest to see who can write the longest diatribe”

If that’s what you think of my contributions, if that’s what you’re saying I’m doing, don’t worry about having to wade through my garbage posts any longer.

I’m sorry to see that Stuart has bowed out for the time being. I enjoyed reading his thoughtful posts.

The Rohypnol that Tim Geithner put in Larry Summers’ Coke appears to be working.

This planet sucks.

flacid: would that Rohypnol be as a joke or something more sinister? :/
,
Maybe I just thought of that since I’m a college student.

OT, but did anyone catch Chris Matthews ripping into Mac Thornberry tonight? He was on fire.
.
I’m not always a big Matthews fan, but when he thinks someone is trying to pull one over on him, he’s like a dog gnawing a bone.

“It’s all there in the report!” Awesome.

[...] Oh, Larry. Maybe he’s been working late? [...]

apollyon07, I sincerely hope that I haven’t stumbled upon something more sinister in the WH. In this case I was just aiming at humor, I certainly don’t condone date rape as a way of following through on a man crush like Geithner’s.

One thing I think I learned in my otherwise drunk existence is I can’t take myself so seriously. Main reason is I’m just not serious. Hopefully Stu will return. I loved wading through his garbage posts. The higher the pile the better.
.
Until then, this is just awesome.

Yeah I saw that Art, it was priceless.

Awesome Sauce!

77 incredible photos. Makes you realize just how much is going on, seemingly, at all times. Obama continues to impress me.

This slide show thing is a real pet peeve of mine. Clicking ‘Next’ reloads the page and each time I have to scroll down to read the caption. God, I wish that could be fixed.

[...] was on Washwire yesterday. And Time.com even has a more excellent shot of the incident on their Swampland blog as well as a caption that describes Summers as being in “rare [...]

This is so dead, but I have to throw in my two cents…not that it’s sought after. Stu was one of the main reasons I continued to read Swampland. He may be verbose at times but I appreciate the detail with which he answered some questions that I asked him directly.
.
I also find it ridiclous in the extreme for some to criticize how long his posts are and to whom they are directed.
.
It seems some here have no problem mounting that high horse of theirs and declaring themselves High Sheriff.
