Che Pasa. Rspectfully.

If you ever write a book? An idea for a cover jacket. Edna St. Vincent Mllay.

"A person who publishes a book willfully appears before the populace with his/her pants down."

`

The photograph cover has the DOD, Rush/Drudge, White House staff, and the paid Main Media pro-war proponents, standing like preschool toddlers at urinals with their pants to the shoes.

I refuse to look at their faces.

I barf when I hear their voices.

I left out a 'i' in Millay.

A preschool child spells poorly. When asked to sell 'sirloin' he leaves out the 'i'...'s.

... srlon.

@ 3:31 Ron Pauliac....

At the urban humane shelter there is a sign ~

It reads :

Three bagel loving beagles all need a happy home.

The vet has given them worm pills with cream cheese.

The homeless need a nourishing breakfast. Each beagle responds to bucky. One wags the tail. Two have no ears, tails, a left paw, and all the bagels have been castrated by a amputated cute wobbling penguin. Serious pet lovers are the only ones who can reply. Maybe consider changing puppy names to... no1dupe?

After reading the funny, and some pathetic comments... whatever.... There comments....

One may feel like they gorged a dozen Nathan frank furthers with sweet pickle relish at a New York Met ball park. The umpire at UT eats a bowl of steamed rice with chopsticks at third base.

Wow.

No one insults anybody and the game is called because of threatening black Monsoon rain storms.

`mikeinportc. Gary Owen mentions that while under the Veterans Administrations care there are a average of 18 suicides a day? G.O is mighty fussy. Who wouldn't be cranky? I knew a vet in war named 'Cranky' who lost two legs. I got out of a bed at Fort Meade's Army Hospital (Kimbrough) to go see Cranky who I heard was at Walter Reed in DC in 1970. Cranky had died there at Walter Reed from his `Nam injuries. Sad. Cranky always wanted to ride his Harley. Cranky was likable. I remember in the 'Nam jungle that Cranky liked corn dogs. Serious. uck taste buds, imo. ~Requiescat~

@ 4:04. Enjoy bed time illness. It's a written O.T. proverb.

@ 6:44. Joel_Grant. 'Ole Derbig Mooser doesn't view NYC as synonymous with Israel.

You gotta admit? If you don't learn here, you won't learn when buried 6-feet under.

The undertaker will bury me? Nope.

I'll wonder off into the chirping woods and doze.

And I'll No wear ~ any uncomfortable underpants.

@ bucky1

Bucky, you're a crabbed and nasty man. For that reason alone, you wouldn't understand what I wrote. The human community, for all its defects, is just that. Denouncing it from a distance, and carrying a list of its crimes everywhere you go to recite whenever anyone speaks of his pleasure in it is a form of insanity.

Which is why, generally speaking, I don't pay you much heed, except on those occasions when your bile gets the better of you. It's you who are responsible for your miseries, not me, nor anyone else who disagrees with you. Behaving like a swine may appease your demons, but it won't improve your powers of political persuasion.

How reporters work

Obama's campaign had a press conference about their 50-state voter registration drive. It is reported here
