Yes, yes, one of my esteemed cobloggers may get retweeted by a Real Housewife but *I* just had Jake Tapper actually freaking respond to a question I sent him on Twitter.  HA!  I WIN BITCHES!  You'll excuse me while I do the I Won Dance Of Victory (no, you can't have video).

Thanks to everyone for putting Tapper some knowledge before I even saw that, it's appreciated. 

Seriously, I am such an enormous political geek that this made my entire fucking day.

Football starts in 2 hours in historic Canton, OH. Life is good.

In honor of the upcoming season, I would just like to post one of the things that football's all about.

I laugh my ass off each and every time I watch that interview.

My favorite part? When T.O. said, "That's my quarterback" I know that Garcia and McNabb freaked out, and when he said, "We lost as a team" they got even more enraged and when he went on about how he always has his quarterback's back? They threw their coffee tables through their TVs.

That was a good day

Exit question, would it be better for Buffalo if TO is injured tonight or if he lasts the whole season?

If the facts in this editorial are true, especially regarding the State Department not sanctioning Honduran businesses, then I say not only "yes", but "FUCK YEAH! SUCK ON THIS, MARXISTS!!1!11"

*Fires sixty guns into the air*

Sure, the U.S. continues to condemn Zelaya's ouster and still seeks mediation of the dispute through Costa Rican President Oscar Arias. But no U.S. sanctions means Hondurans have won.

Things could have worked out differently. Venezuela's Hugo Chavez first called for invading Honduras. That threat passed as it became clear Chavez couldn't project his power there.

Next, civil unrest was threatened by Zelaya. But Hondurans astounded the world by standing by their Congress, Supreme Court, attorney general, businesses and the church, all of which declared that Zelaya had violated the constitution and had to go.

Zelaya might have regained power, but only by becoming a dictator and ending Honduras' democracy. The people ended that.

The scariest outcome for Honduras was U.S. sanctions. They would have crushed the tiny country dependent on the U.S. for 80% of its trade. No sanctions, no Zelaya.

This isn't to say U.S. policymakers are happy or that the dispute is over. Honduras is still suspended from the Organization of American States, its trade has been disrupted, Venezuela's oil is still cut off, and its officials still can't get U.S. visas. But the worst is over. Whatever changes that come will be by Honduran consent alone.

The U.S. still supports Arias' mediation, and if that helps, good.

By ending the threats, talks can begin. Constructive solutions, like early elections or persuading Honduras' congress to add an impeachment law to its constitution, can now be put on the table.

I've been following @Fector for a while but didn't realize until today that he's got a hella funny blog too.  I'd steal a couple of his pics for a sample but I can't decide which ones, so go have yourselves a laugh at Hopey-O's expense.

Sen. Mel Martinez, who was one of the nine Republicans that voted to confirm Sonia Sotomayor yesterday, is resigning.  His resignation will be effective at the end of the August recess. 

Florida governor Charlie Crist will be making a replacement appointment.  Crist is regarded as a potential 2012 presidential candidate; this is a chance for us to see what sort of leadership we can expect from him on a national level.  So don't fuck it up, Charlie!

I need this like burning.

Automatic.  Pancake.  Machine.  Now if only it grilled up some bacon too, it would be the perfect machine.  Well, next to Kristanna Loken.  And if it made the bacon, I'd reconsider that.
