Fuck You Norm....

Hey Norm:

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on....

You couldn't carry Paul Wellstone's jock strap so spare us the gratuitious bullshit on the recount or any other subject that might occupy that small place located just above your shoulders.

Convicted GOP Felons....Palling Around.

Seantor Ted Stevens of Alaska is a convicted felon (Seven-Counts) yet he votes and walks around either impervious to it all or somehow thinking that the ax is not going to fall..

Will they actually grant him an appeal?

I have trouble believing this guy is even buying green bananas by the look of him.

Larry Craig, Ted's "toe tapping" GOP counterpart from Idaho is still hanging around too despite his even less savory public transgressions.

Find it difficult to understrand how the U.S. Senate would allow such stigma(s) to exist one minute longer than absolutely necessary.

DUH!

Broadcast Jounralism Majors/Beauty Pagent Minors unite in 2012 and run, baby run...

WTF?

WTF is wrong with this guy?

That doesn't even qualify as "poor taste" on it's worst day....

Joan:

With all due respect you need to chill just a bit....but rest assured that you still get heroic nods for the most part.

Now with regard to the Thrilla from Wasilla...I suspect the Theocratic or Chirsto Facist base of the GOP right was dealt a major blow on 11/4/08. So close yet so far away... I fail to see how this wholly inadequate candidate for vp in '08 is going to solidify much more in '2012 outside of the same wingnut base. The intolerance of the Falwell, Dobsen, De Lay doctrines is exactly the opposite of what the GOP requires moving forward.

The new head of the Republican Party, whether it's No-No Na Newt or not is going to be looking for inclusionary methodologies/candidates and ways to broaden their base by about 5 million not narrow it with Old Testament rants and raves...

The playbook of yesteryear is dead right along with the Lee Atwater type operatives but if they want to play hardball, I'm confident that the O/B machine will be more than happy to accomodate them in 2012.

Barbie's Banter (cont.)zzzzz

When is enuf embarassment enuf for the GOP?

Geeez!

I suppose if you had to listen to "W" these past almost eight years and drink that Kool Aid, Barbie's gibberish might almost seem

refreshing......all 3:23 of it..

Let's hope she doesn't say anything half way intelligent in the next month and spoil our Holidays.

Don't Be Gone Long....Now

One of my favorite childhood recollections emanated from a much cherished relative who ended virtually every visit or conversation from whenever to my early thirty's with the same phrase...

"Don't be gone long...now."

Under the circumstances, I'm passing it forward.

Berger's Cookies

Hope these cookies are a lot better than their ability to process multiple orders....

Hard to believe that in '08 anyone in e-commerce could have such a weak on line presence coupled with limitied ability to process orders to multiple addresses...

S&H charges via USPS seemed a little over the top too at $10.00 per....

Still waiting for the conf. call back on shipping costs from yesterday. Ugh!

Sweet Caroline

"Fascinating" isn't necessarily the word I would use but it's sure as hell going to be educational from the cheap seats vantage point.

I certainly wouldn't bet against her....

Oh Sherry....

Chuck it's simple....

The culprits are raising money for Sherry's defense fund.....

Tongue Tied?

We haven't heard the last from Rudy on this subject.....not by a long shot.

My guess is still that he runs for gov. next cycle under his favorite umbrella...911...

He's bound to win something one of these days. :-)

Admirable Initiative

We will all no doubt be curious as to how long he can sustain the high ground tone and tenor, but must credit the President-Elect for the initiative taken on the front side.

George We Missed Ya....

George Carlin, one of the great political cynics and cerebral funny men of our time would have still marvelled at the mass of humanity on the mall in D.C yesterday coupled with W's choregraphed exit. Can't you just imagine that thin lipped delivery?

There was an outrageous pearl to be shared there, stolen from us if you will and it makes me kinda sad. Few if any ever did it better...

One Child Left Behind....for sure

Clearly Matt Drudge must have been an abused child. How else could you account for his abject idiocy?

Ya, Right.......

You mean the same way they were praying for him on November 3rd?

Ya right!

Sounds like the bridge for sale in Brooklyn story...

Frankly, I get a little confused with all these references to prayer and piety especially on this particular subject with the loons in attendance.

Bottom line it's a woman's body and therefore her right to choose what to do with it.

Why is that so difficult to comprehend?

Give Luck a Chance...

As my favorite uncle used to say in his best Irish lilt...

"I'd rather be lucky than good any day..."

Fortunately for him, he was both but gracious enough to attribute his constant good business fortune to the former.

Of course without those carefully honed skill sets in place, I wonder exactly how much "luck" he might have experienced in the first place.

More Intolerant Fiction.....on the way

Clearly this just has to fall under fiction becasue Bible Posh has yet to let the facts ruin any of her accounts to date.

Guess what the "intolerants" are going to be giving to one another next Christmas?
