You really surprise me. You handed some much warranted credit and respect to Obama and Hillary, former presidential candidate, and your wife, and you didn't even deliver a long rambler, that was all about Bill's life.
Your credit with me has gone up just a smidge.
Pop "Salo" in your DVD player and share some imressions. I've heard about "Salo" for so very very long. Pasolini's film of greatest infamy, it's so infamous in so many numerous ways, that it's nearly an infamy symphony. I also want to see Pasolini's "Arabian Nights," which as I gravely understand it, is not for the uptights.
Thanks.
Who's rejecting? I'm sure all of us who support the new democratic nominee, will rather, go on protecting.
Keep hope alive
And just nix
All the jive.
Was once heard to say this most famous retort:
"Awww That's a load a crap."
And that, well
That was that.
T. Boone is a fool.
This grudgeful loser.
the horse is alredy dead.
...the rest from here on out, is up to you the ballot box, your own consciences, and whatever other devises.
Peace.
You've kicked yourself to the curb, "your party" has spoken, but you have not heard.
During the primary there was plenty of "pounding" on both sides of the fence, would a pat on the head and flowers have made more practical political sense?
What just you said goes double for me. AKASmith's broad villifying brush strokes have NEVER gotten by on the sly to do the once over twice routine with me, and I've NEVER coddled that nonsense, I'm sure you ALL will agree. And I'd further like to state, with the convention now over, it might be time for some to turn over a new leaf, or for others, a four leafed clover.
I really admire this el cheapo characterization of Michelle Obama you wrote yesterday:
"The perfect image of first lady fifties-style vanilla meringue."
Now, when I think of the "nifty 50's" I more closely associate that now gone era with you, but you certainly are entitled to your own most uniquely held point of view.
If you want an apology, I suggest you "go fish," you can hold your breath for an apology, for just as long as you wish.
You've finally gone off you bean, the way that you carry on, goes beyond the bounds of obscene.
The world as it is
Is to her
All totally to blame.
You're the fraud. For I fear..
Fraud
is
your
God.
goes the same for me too.
Why ignore us? Why not just flake off?
I found your Michelle remark obtuse and offensive. Why do you now have to get so defensive? I remarked that it was your own uniquely held point of view, you're entitled to remark or think whatever you want to.
Your "probablys" are robberies.
You display your trenchant penchant for benighted insight.
Please, no more mind fucks.
Rape is a crime, so don't rape my mind.
My own father is a rather rotten sort, but I've no intention what so ever of enpowering him some kind of psychic extort.
You come and go you come and go...
I'm not your priest, but if you must offer your confession, offer it in a spirit of peace.
Read from the book
Of the poet Good Celery.
You're very sensible in what you say, we seem to be waiting on AKASmith's autobiography, which should be arriving any day. I agree, this is not a forum reserved for vengeful rows, and perhaps that now the convention's over, we'll move on to the here and nows.
Interesting Smith. Hard times befall us all. I could enumerate harsh times that I've faced, that'd make yours look like a gala ball.
Is this a suffering contest, a victim quest, to see can best all the victimed rest?
I got a sense of closure from my dad by KOin' him three knock down times, I made that son of a bitch feel real pain for his litany of crimes. The best way I've found to deal with a difficult past, is not to give it mastery over your life, starting from this day to the last.
And thanks for the family yarn.
Thanks for these Riki Lake moments...I'll treasure them always.
Sleep with the angels.
To put the crowning touches on the post convention zoo.
I thought AKASmith's rant and weird family history yarn was pretty strange and inappropriate too, she's laid all of her life's angry and sore disappointments, at the feet of just regular people like me and you. I'm not buying the loaded story of her grimly melodramatic, victim's plight, and urge her most strongly, to get a grip, then get a life.
Do you think you have the fire in your belly
To cause 'ol Klytus drop dead?
The maddening frustration you must feel in yourself
The impotent frustrations of an impish little elf.
What really is there to say? Smith hurled all kinds of personal rubbish and old baggage - directly my way. I agree with what somebody else posted. I too will not "coddle" the angry broken disappointments of a woman fully matured and grown, any raging tirades and tantrums she throws, are hers to be responsibly owned. And though she may be a quaint and sometimes charming, mad at all men holdover, it's not in my way to be an obliging pushover.
Smith seems to revel in the gory and the glory, of her whole bloody life story. Her abject hatred of Omama is really overwhelming, And there in lies more, that Smith just isn't telling.
