Update on Jasmine Ratchet: The DEI Dum-Dumb is eyeing a Senate run, because why should Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke get paid millions every two years to get blown out in the Texas senatorial election? Shouldn't she get some of that sweet sweet Act Blue graft?

Crockett addressed the possibility in an Instagram post where she said she would make a decision "depending on how many people reach out," but that her main focus has been legislating in the House of Representatives.
The post came after a poll from the National Republican Senatorial Committee was published showing that she was leading the pack of candidates with 35 percent in a hypothetical primary and was leading former Senate candidate Colin Allred, who was at 20 percent, per the Latin Times.

The Republican Senatorial Committee claims that she's ahead? LOL, that might be a little troll-poll.

In the traditional autumn report published by Germany's six leading economic research institutes, five of the think tanks -- Ifo in Munich, HWWA in Hamburg, RWI in Essen, IfW in Kiel and IWH in Halle -- said they expected growth to slow to 1.5 percent next year from an anticipated 1.8 percent this year. One of the funniest things in the world is having one of the most arrogant people on earth -- a nation so arrogant it turned racial purity into a genocidal creed -- call the USA arrogant. I'm ever so glad I don't have to hear much about precision German engineering anymore. Fuck 'em. Like a Viking. posted by Ace at 05:42 PM Comments Bah, they've had a big head ever since that huge upset victory over Varnus in 9 AD. They're just hot air nowadays though. Posted by: Smack on October 19, 2004 07:10 PM Germans, what Germans? They'll be renaming the place Little Ankara soon. Posted by: Iblis on October 19, 2004 07:16 PM Don't know much about this fancy schmancy economic stuff, but I just wanted to point out that the "optimistic" expectation in the article cited is a growth of 2%, more realisitc estimates put it at 1.2. In "the worst depression since Hoover", American GDP growth dropped as low as 2.7, then jumped up to 7.4, and averages at about 3.3 annually. Tell me again why the Dems think we should model ourselves after Europe? (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/09/29/national/main646269.shtml) Posted by: francisthegreat on October 19, 2004 07:33 PM Ace, where did "like a Viking" come from? I've seen you use this phrase before, but I don't remember it's origins. Posted by: Kerry Is Unelectable A.K.A.

Posted by: Princess Kimberley on October 19, 2004 10:44 PM "Like a Viking" actually comes from Son of Nixon. It's just something he said that I thought was pretty funny. Posted by: ace on October 20, 2004 12:15 AM Only in the context of Continental Europe could 1.8% growth be called recovery. Even the strongest economy in Europe, the United Kingdom's, will only grow at a relatively anaemic 3.5% this year.
