Dem rep: I’m deeply sorry for calling abnormally small people “midgets”
posted at 8:41 pm on December 13, 2012 by Allahpundit
Comedy gold via Mediaite from a man who once worried aloud about Guam tipping over. I managed to hold it together when he uttered “the M-word” in the course of denouncing the M-word, but the lulz began to roll after about three minutes. The first rule of apologizing for insensitivity: When expressing your remorse to the offended group, always refer to them as “abnormal.”

(There you see Ken, how gossip starts and then cannot be stopped! They have us wed already! What are we to do? I am a postulant! I honor the Moon Goddess, they do not know, I cannot wed…)

Don’t be so precipitous, Walker. Spark isn’t in jail, and won’t be. The Magistrate and I haven’t determined exactly what is to be done about the current situation, but Spark will be dealt with in a manner consistent with the operating credo of the Glade and according to Gladian law.

Hey Ken, wanna go for a balloon ride? I need to test out the new trap door I installed for people who choose not to pay the hefty price for a safe landing.
Don’t worry I packed a special parachute just for you. (:

What is a little frivolity amongst friends eh? ;-D
Scrumpy on April 7, 2013 at 1:52 AM
Well, if you ask me, that’s certainly preferable to having the birds eat the guests, in my rather limited marital experience, that always throws a damper on the joyous expression of a wedding… O_O

The poem is powerful and lovely. The legend of the Rhine gold comes to mind with the mention of her golden comb and golden hair and the rays of golden light on the mountain top. It is said that the way the sunlight reflects from the water on the Rhine led men to believe that the Rhine maidens hid their gold there amongst the rocks. Wondrous and fascinating tales. :)

Um, Scrumpy, I have been going through my documents, and apparently I am still “technically married”. As such, I may not marry you at this time. I trust your heart fares better than mine with this revelation. XXOOXXOO

~Glade Public Service Announcement~
A rumor has been circulating that Sir Ken and the Spritely One are to be wed. That rumor is false.
Please desist from any further attempts to rush them to the altar.
In light of the general desire for some sort of festival to occur in the Glade I hereby announce that there will be a May Day celebration held in the Glade under the light of the moon for the first week of May. Arrangements will be made accordingly.
~The Management~
thatsafactjack on April 7, 2013 at 2:02 AM
Don’t worry. I was going to drop ken safely in the bog. He would plop in the soft mud up to his neck so at least he could cry for help.
Just kidding. Best wishes to the newly weds and to the person who started a rumor that just might come true.
SparkPlug on April 7, 2013 at 2:03 AM
As long as we’re coming clean, this Resist thing is obviously one way. I know its sad. But I tried taking two bean-bag chairs, stacking them on top of each other, shoving a basketball between them, and sending her the picture, but . . . apparently weird chicks are immune to weird. And don’t get me started on the miserable failure of my Anthony Weiner picture.

I was there at Lorelei Rock on the Rhine…
My Mum told me the story as a child and when I got to Germany it was the one place I just had to see!!
That story was rolling thru my mind and as I closed my eyes, I imagined the sounds and sights that supposedly greeted the unfortunate sailors…

You are fortunate to have been able to visit the place, Scrumpy. The legend is a pleasure to read, as is the poem that Schadenfreude posted.
To plant ones feet firmly upon the firmament of legend is a magical experience. :)

. . . with my family member who I am watching while others play at the gambling house . . .
And this comment is absolutely on topic, since America is like the Lonely Mountain and history of late is like the coming of Smaug.
And the next election cycle might be like the coming of Smaug.
Whole lot of possible Smaug analogies.

I figure we got a little over a year and a half until Baracka the first gets complete and total rein when the dems take back the house. If Shrillary runs and wins, this country won’t by dying, it will be dead. Seriously, what has this woman ever accomplished? Her final act in office was lying to congress about Benghazi with that ‘what difference does it make’ remark as the last slap in the face to the dead Americans. Her so called health care bill, written while Bill was in office doing the office staff, was so poorly written it had no chance of passage. She couldn’t even fire the WH travel staff without causing an uproar. Now we’re paying for a ‘transition office’!? Will the grifting ever end.

If your first sentence is prescient there won’t be any 2016 presidential election.
If Hillary wants to be prez she had better see to it that the dhimmicRATs don’t regain the house.

TimBuk3 on April 7, 2013 at 10:32 AM
The political machinery in DC is very polite to this “has been” and reminds me of when Ed Sullivan would have these old timers sing a song on his show croaking out their best and that’s what it was, croaking. Only in Hills dreams will she be President; she was thrown under the bus when the machinery selected barry and they shut her up when she threaten to expose barry and rumor has it they threatened her kid and she accepted a position in the party. The left “following” has the same mental capacity as the Rev Jones crowd before the cool aid. The machinery will allow her to accumulate money and that money will end up in the push their selected person to the 2016 election.
mixplix on April 7, 2013 at 12:20 PM
She will be the next POTUS simply because the media will suggest to the low information voter what their choices are. The Big Government Progressives are winning the cultural war and this nation is going to hell in a handbasket as a result. They already have population centers, NY, LA, CHI, they have minorities in their back pocket, they have the low info voters. With amnesty they get a permanent majority. Hillary will be the one whom the media selects as the candidate. Game over, man. Slam dunk!
