I was at work all night; I drank solely cyber-hooch," yet the throbbing head and bad taste in the mouth is too real, after imbibing the sight and sounds of Congress sycophantically and mindlessly jumping to their feet to applaud and cheer for war provocation, death, fraud, lies, and dishonor.

Seen @ a Texas pawn store For Sale. $1.98 or Make Best Offer.

A stuffed garden-snake that looks like a pink radish.

It can be mistaken for a miniature size replica of a

bottled porpoise tiny fish.

The snake is also attached to a gop's chain with a white collar for unknown purposes.

Fire up some original Bob Wills and watch "The Last Picture Show" and try to imagine W. being forged as a "real hat" Texan.

Go ahead; I dare ya ...

W.T: Yes, Ann Richards was a real Texan.

Cocktailhag on the Senate floor

Dorgan just quoted Ogden Nash:

"I drink because she nags, he said I nag because he drinks. But if the truth be known to you, He's a lush and she's a shrew."

Dirigo:

"The Last Picture Show"

-- Dirigo

One of my favorite movies (and books) of all time.

William Timberman

The three methods to rate a president. 1) socks stuffed in the crotch area. 2) rotten teeth and how many stand-up ovation with gops intoxicated with the smell of stinking black oral cavity holes. 3) whether screwball Hadley mutters more LIES or what?

Extra:

Whore) 'um spit poison. 'um are forked tongue asp in the congressional halls and gallery. 'um are dead man/lady bones and walking, clapping, and visible white grave sepulchres. same-same. What's new? They will kill...

and the black pig-skin book they espouse says a Nature weighs the sleazeballs in a Justice scale based on Truth, based upon honesty and Fairness.

And who gets the last chuckle? To hell to them do go? REID?

It's written.

O, yep, Yes.

Question

Is a cocktailhag anything like a Sweet Potato Queen?

@ bebop

As usual, your second sight is vivid. El día de los muertos; that was last night for sure. Painful to watch with your eyes, but true.

Jebbie.

It is an embarrassing state of disunion. What days. Is this a chit chat bait shop where seekers are loafing around or what? We (noy guppies) congregate looking for comon sense and real people's wisdom expressions. It's here.

I've heard of fish jumping in the boat.

Are the fish bittin'? Disgusting is right.

We ask serious questions too. After last night we feel dirty?

They don't even brush their teeth or wash the hands after they worm each other like a GOP vet doc? They finger each other and eat soggy hostess bread that the real amphibians, or gutter rat-rodents won't touch with a 7-foot rotten leg?

After death they float to the bottom of the dark sea. The whiskered mud-cat-fish bottom feeders turn away with an unfeigned true disgust at the sight of such vile human

compost. gop. goo. goop. yep.

It's to peer into a dark abyss.

Sheol. Hades. Gehenna garbage dumb rot stink. 'um are rejected by the horse fly. Gads. Stay nice and honest, tho. Speak. What a sick sack of crappies. yup.

Today they will talk more filthy digit #'s like the Poll Cats that they are...This is the way the 'we people' use to speak when they discerned and perceived the ugly times such as this.

Dirigo - I read the book

His great-granddaddy ran Buckeye Steel here in Columbus.

One notable landmark located in Marble Cliff, scarcely known outside of central Ohio, is the Bush mansion. This structure was built with stone quarried from the nearby Marble Cliff Quarry Co., and was once a residence of local industrialist and U.S. Senator Samuel Prescott Bush—grandfather and great-grandfather of U.S. Presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush respectively. The Bush mansion itself was sold and converted to non-residential use, most recently as group home for the elderly.

H.W. used to visit the place, back when he was prez. I lived on the route they took and watched more than one cavalcade pass my house.

WT re: Ann Richards

Thank you WT. Another phenomenal Texan.

Maybe what we should be looking for from Texas is another smart, spicy woman? ;->

Is a cocktailhag anything like a Sweet Potato Queen?

Absolutely, but with drink recipes.

Depressions

To be honest, what got me down last night wasn't so much the moral corpses on the House dais, but afterwards...HBO ran an ad for a program of film taken in present-day Iraq. I was too stunned and too quick to switch to my recorded soccer game to hear the name of the program, but it began Armed only with a camera....

What followed was unspeakable. The ten or fifteen seconds that I was able to endure it was more than enough to disturb a person's sleep. The evildoers in the White House have obviously convinced themselves that if we can't see and hear such things, even if, in some sense, we can smell them, we'll accept our leaders as they portray themselves. I pray that in the long run they are wrong.

HBO deserves a lot of credit for showing such things, but I can't help hoping, bebop, that you won't watch it. You see enough as it is.

Pedinska.

Before I hop in the tub...

People around the world best depose, and show no respect to such gop ill-ilk. If a cat-scat licking politico's rides in a caravan pass your house, fumigate it with Dollar Store flea/lice smoke bombs.

Don't let the cats of yours outdoors for weeks. You'll need to spray them with canned aerosol baby talcum powder? heh.

Don't be a rubbernecker or you may end up in a crash too and your too good, sweet, and good frisky. Don't watch the GOPS or you'll want to peel off the flannel shirt, cat, or beagle dog vest you bought on e-Bay?

You may smell like bay-fish?

That fish flopped upon the land?

That rot fish head may lay there into Spring?

The abdominal crap lodged inside a gop's innards can weigh 90-pound at their burial day. The neocons have perforation sores throughout the body at the present moment. The GOP is just passing via towns and living on a DC battery of borrowed time.

The spleens are full of coagulated blood clots and they are sealed-dead creeps. Doomed.

They bark lies.

Someone said that.

I agree.

They should check their death wrist-watch? Time for a neocon is running out. Hoe/why/how can a person respect them? No way!

This is written in many ways throughout history. Gads. shush.
