I have to admit, the stack of postcards I received before the election last week marked “Paid for by Americans for Prosperity” really helped me with filling out my ballot. So that’s another bonus.
Have the “Impeach Hillary” websites and petitions started yet?
just askin’ questions.
I’ve already seen over at Snopes the recycled Clinton Facebook acusations popping up on a regular basis.
Wow, I bet Date Night is *awkward *for them!
Hmmm, let me think … I guess pretty much to rhyme with the Scots word “loch”, with that Germanic throat-clear at the end.
You’re kidding, right? “Van Gogh” is pronounced like “Van Go”, I’ve never heard it pronounced any other way.
When one of your (R) colleagues takes to Twitter to tell you to Shut. The. Fuck. Up. you’ve probably misused Social Media to accidentally reveal what an asshole you really are.
I once heard a cultivated-sounding dude on NPR pronounce it “Van Okh.”
The BBC ( who occasionally make an effort to get these things right) say;
"Native English speakers can be heard saying van GOFF (-v as in vet, -a as in pan, -g as in get, -f as in fit) or van GOH (-oh as in no).
In fact, most Dutch people pronounce his surname along the lines of vun KHOKH (-v as in vet, -u as in bun, -kh as in Scottish loch) or fun KHOKH (-f as in fit, -u as in bun, -kh as in Scottish loch)
At the Pronunciation Unit, we don’t expect non-native Dutch speakers to pronounce his name with a perfect Dutch accent. Instead, we recommend the established Anglicisation van GOKH (-v as in vet, -g as in get, -kh as in Scottish loch) which is codified in numerous British English pronunciation dictionaries.

That said, different countries have different standards for the pronunciation of foreign names so van Goh maybe entirely acceptable in the US.
Well, in Dutchlandic it’s very close to the Scots “loch.” A bit softer, but about the same sound. I’m on my mobile and c&p is a pain, but the Beeb has a page somewhere with their preferred Anglicisation: hard v, hard g, ch like loch.
Eta: Bah. This fucking mobile, I swear.

James “ACORN Killer” O’Keefe tries his latest tactic: Sneaking across the US-Mexico border in a Bin Laden mask. With cameras rolling, so maybe “sneaking” isn’t le mot juste.

Colorado state Republican: Fracking is good, because it’s natural for water to burn.
Obama is going to murder 25,000,000 Americans to make room in their houses for illegal aliens.

Besides, the ObamaGov and NWO will have to get rid of many more millions of us so that they can give our homes and possessions to the “new transformer illegals”…aka Obama voters and supporters.

You know, I hadn’t thought of that strategy, but I have to admit I like it. Let the lefty immigrants in, while Obama quietly does away with right-wingers at an equal pace.
Thanks for the tip, Sher!
Sounds like he’s already drinking it.
I didn’t think they let people have internet access from the insane asylum.
I mean Sweet Jesus, what the fuck is wrong with these people???
Rush (remember him?) says Robin Williams killed himself because of leftist politics.
no, who?
Consider yourself lucky. Not long ago, he was gracefully denying that he was the Republican Party’s leader, despite every one of their major pols who disagreed with him having to publicly apologize.
PLEASE VOTE IN THE MID TERMS - Early and often
So, the point he was making is that it’s possible to sneak across the border? :rolleyes: Film at 11:00.
I guess if we had a purportedly impenetrable defense whose sole mission was Spotting Bin Laden Sneaking Across the Border, then there would be hell to pay. Heads would roll.
Rush Limbaugh, man! Legendary radio host? … Aw, never mind.
