Politics: Elena Kagan could bring unique profanities to the Supreme Court

  • OK, that settles it. Anyone who uses the word ‘unf*&#ing-believable’ is an OK Supreme Court justice in my book. Think of the dissenting opinions!
  • Gawker blogger Adrian Chen • Responding to the Clinton Presidential library’s release of a number of Elena Kagan’s e-mails from her period in the administration. To answer the obvious question: Yes, she swore a lot back then. And yes, like Gawker, we hope she swears even more as a Supreme Court justice. source

Politics: Max Headroom: Mitch McConnell swears on live TV. Awesome!


  • Skip to the 2:00 mark Mitch McConnell said a lot of stuff about health care and how he hates the Democrats in this interview on “Fox News Sunday,” but we only heard him say one word. And yes, it’s a profanity. Way to go, Senator! You’re a regular Rahm Emanuel!

  • Mike Pence can’t spell On “Meet the Press,” Rep. Mike Pence manages to get past the creepy guy at the 5 second mark to complain about the upcoming health care summit, which he claims the Democrats will spell S-E-T-U-P. Wait a second …

  • Bayh a “corporatist”? On “Larry King Live” the other night, Bill Maher said some damning things about Evan Bayh. “He’ll become a lobbyist now, which is what he was before.” Oof! The meat is in the first minute and a half, but the rest is good, too.

Offbeat, World: What the $%#@? Experiment shows swearing reduces pain

  • Another reason to love scientists. Researchers at Keele University in England are saying they’ve shown swearing can actually lessen pain. They asked participants to put their hands in iced water and say either one of five swear words or one of five words to “describe a table.” As you may have guessed, the cussers kept their hands in longer – because the words brought on a “fight-or-flight” response, accelerated their heart rate and heightened aggression. source

Offbeat: This ain’t going to #*)%&@& work, Los Angeles

  • No-cussing week, more like ignore the weak-@$$ rules week. Los Angeles has made the first week of March “No-Cussing” week based on the suggestion of a *)&)&#& 15-year old. That piece of %&%* good-for-nothing (^#$head thinks that if less people cursed, more problems could be solved. You know what, kid? %&$^ your idealism – you’re from (&*^&)&*) California, where you’re not supposed to have any. (There’s no punishment for cussing, by the way.) source
