Facebook open thread (with non-Facebook update) |

Seen on a Facebook profile: "It's been said that a black man will be President when pigs fly… sure enough, 100 days into Obama's Presidency, swine flu."

Recently spotted Facebook groups:

The Shap Smith Fan Club. Looking forward to the inevitable Shap Schwag on Cafe Press.

How Josef Stalin was a 'puppet' by the vermont cheese workers union. Hmf. As if everybody hasn't heard that one a million times…

And you gotta love this one: Woodstock Vermont Police Need Something Better To Do, with a total current membership of one high school student. Ah, no doubt there's a story there that many of us could've written at one time or another.

Update/addendum: LOL! Hard-right Vermont Tiger economist Art Woolf is apparently terrified of being economically "asphyxiated" by organic farms. Seriously. It's a growth industry nationally, so Mr. laissez-superfaire Woolf would be ecstatic, one would think – at least if he pretended to be a neutral economic observer. Somehow, I feel confident his telling choice of imagery would be a little bit different if it were a cluster of, say, defense contractors or coal-fired power plants we were experiencing.

After all, as we've noted in the past (yesterday, even), these guys are hardly neutral observers when it comes to anything smacking of environmentalism, which gives them the kneejerk, reactionary heebie-jeebies.

Update 2:

I had posted the Zombie sign to my facebook profile and got a rather incisive little comment from Jonathan Leavitt.

A spokesman for Douglas issued a statement: “For Immediate Release – Regarding the Zombie Invasion in Colchester: Lt. Governor Dubie and Governor Douglas are still in DEFCON 5 lockdown under the Statehouse because of Friday’s Health Care Rally. The Governor, from his secure location is taking all appropriate measures however, bomb sniffing dogs used during the Health Care Rally are being retrofitted with body armor and eye lasers to fight the Zombie terrorist cell threatening Colchester and Burlington’s New North End.” Funding for this program the statement said “will come from eliminating all remaining social services in Vermont, firing all remaining VSEA employees and joining into a partnership with Monsanto and Disney to turn UVM into Disneyland: rGBH Dairy Farm Adventure Park.” According to Douglas’ spokesperson, “the Governor is not commenting on the likelihood of the Zombie Apocalypse necessitating the dissolving of either or both houses of the legislature, the suspension of Burlington’s Instant Runoff Voting System and the implementation of Martial Law. All I can say,” elaborated the spokesperson, “the Governor and Lt. Governor have a joint press conference scheduled for dawn at Camp Johnson.”

Green organic jobs aren’t real jobs they are dirty hippie jobs .The green jobs suffocation logic to is simlilar to conservative Byron York maintaining that Obama isn’t really as popular as he appears because he has high numbers with African American voters .

posted a note to Art Woolf asking why he’s afraid of organic farms (awaiting the moderator of course)

is there something we should know?

all those people not putting inorganic chemicals into the soil; all that healthy food; all those entrepreneurs; all that land being worked instead of developed (maybe that’s it)

can’t wait for the reply
