His favorite method is to use industrial paint thinner. Or a belt sander. Both are conveniently kept in his bedroom, next to his collection of exotic guns and institutional restraints.

Tile nippers as well, I'm sure.

A little nail polish remover from the local drug store will work wonders. And it's painless too. ;->

That was, as B would say, big boy pampers funny. Ever so glad Che started it.

The crackling pleather really hit the funny bone dead on. ;->

B - it is garden catalog time! So far, I have my seed orders line up and a few goodies picked out from Plant Delights. For anyone who enjoys humorous writing and gardening, Tony Avent's plant descriptions in the catalog are hilarious.

I got Two Pair Of Pretty Good Jeans

The other day at Wal-Mart for 25 bucks total.

Made in a Chinese sweatshop.

But hey, who cares how many Chinese are poisoned or lose fingers. There's more where they came from. Heh.

I read that sig as "Pallor Bust".

Not sure where that came from.... :-s

Thanks for sharing your unique perspective.

Stay safe as you help those who were devastated by the storms in TN. We'll be keeping you, and them, in our thoughts.

If 'ole Anonymust or Pedinska were around, we could all beg them for chocolate cupcakes?

No cupcakes, but if I did, I'd surely share.

for keeping us aware of the significant developments in Pakistan that will not only affect us, but should inspire us.

They pilfered Republican jewels in the ’90s

It's a delicate reference to the string of cojones...er, I mean, pearls she wears around her neck. ;->

Oh, and they're Republican pearls, of course.

So we're back to definitions. What we don't want is bipartisanship as it has been defined by the Right, because it's not really bipartisanship.

My own philosophy about dealing with someone acting out as a dick is to ignore them. They may not go away, but as they say the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.

What's the opposite of obsessive-compulsive attack mode (spurred on methinks by the 'dickless' nature of the opponent)?

Profound indifference (one can hope)? I'll take a little helping of that.

Arne, re: deals - indeed, you did. ;->

PDA - you crack me up! You and Kitt are the anti-troll tag team from hell. :-D

It would be important research to know if any candidate saw a member of the American Nazi Party as a mentor.

I have "repellant" Republicans in my immediate family.

Mentors? In some ways, certainly.

In politics? Not a chance. All one has to do is use the brain God gave you....

As for the Che Guevara flag incident, is Obama supposed to put a covert camera in all of his "low-level staffer's" offices? Or will issuing strict instructions regarding "acceptable" office decor do? This particular episode Ruffled Republican Rectitude elevates Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon to an entirely new plane....

We saw it B! Cocktailhag's description does it more justice than I can.

I had a good friend die last week. I imagined that the moon was him winking at me.....it brought me peace.

Night all.

Or did that lobbyist just slip on a banana peel and land on his Straight Talk Express?

...I need to wipe the pom-tini from my screen.

With competition like that I'll probably have to concede. Mine was just a visual (Reids desert-withered buttocks). Yours has banana peels and some real action. ;->

And B is blaming me for showing up and wasting a perfectly good sip of pom-tini.

Guilty as charged.

Was everyone fortunate enough to see the eclipse last night?

It was very cold and very clear here in Ohio.

Ancient societies saw celestial events such as these as omens. A neighbor joined us in the cold and we sipped a toast (remember the Slivovic, B?) in honor of our own interpretation of this omen - that it's portent might be the eclipsing of authoritarian Republican rule.

There was darkness for a while, but we knew that once the shadow passed, a sliver of light would begin to grow.

Pomegranate martini. Has lots of anti-oxidants, which are supposed to be good for me, if Cocktailhag would just let me keep it off the monitor (anti-oxidants appear to be very sticky).

Stop telling all my secrets.

I had the flu. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! ;->

This election is more about whether citizens permit corporations to continue to control their lives or if business is put in its place as an equal partner in America, not a special class that is treated differently than ordinary citizens.-- gc_wall

I have been preaching this as widely as possible (though not nearly so eloquently). And I have posited to everyone around me who is struggling with the choices this election offers that one of the most critical indicators of a candidate's stance on this issue is the composition of their campaign staff.

Their implicit mea culpa here as well as the fact that they are staging an invesigation into the original torture memos suggest to me that the current AG is indeed slightly less slimy than his predecessor.

In nature, lack of slime is often compensated for by improved agility. And there is also the fact that the current AG seems to be logarythmically more intelligent than his predecessor.

Until a product issues from those "staged investigations", they are really nothing but scenery.
