Eric Holder, Jack Quinn and the Rich pardon It's premature to criticize Obama for his establishment-soothing appointments. But it's just as premature to heap praise on him for those appointments.

  • "Red Toe Nail Clover."

    Disappears if the toes in question must be hidden behind the silk of a ballerina's pointe shoes.

    We still on for that dance friday? Jebbie says it must be some recognizable version of the Hully Gully. Me, I'd settle for a walk to see the old farm signs. ;-}

    Saint Jebs MacBook fat lap.

    *snort!*

    Quite the spectacle when a local steals his Speedo, lemme tell ya! :-D

  • Oh!, Pedinska

    "Quite the spectacle when a local steals his Speedo, lemme tell ya! :-D" -- Pedinska

    Not nearly the spectacle of a bottle blonde, middle aged, woman, short in stature, attempting to pitch a purple see-through brassiere over a pipe in Captain Tony's Saloon while still wearing said brassiere! No? I have fotos!!!!

    Dexter stole the Speedo only because the above bottle blonde bribed him with catnip. Bah

    All hills are up.

  • Pedinska. (no ballerina splashing in the bath time)

    ~

    My ballerina friend anticipates you to arrive on early Friday.

    There is no neon creche in the front yard. Meet at the farm.

    The land marker is a funeral home. Turn Left. See a green house.

    The farm homestead is hemlock and white cedar, and it's been painted brown.

    You can't miss it. Tom Jefferson stayed in the mansion of our next door neighbor.

    The curfew here is very early. Visitors are always treated with hospitality. No excuses.

    Be early, and remain forever. No bring YKW. I'll share peppermint chocolate ice cream.

    Mochas. Fun. Wear what you wish. No worry. No carry a mezuzah, moo cow, or plan a eulogy.

    No smiles, giggles, laughter, teases, sneeze-bars, blogs, three-piece-suits, or pointy shoes.

    Remember. Only joy.

    No audacious babble.

    No chutzpah allowed.

    You be a alive creche.

    No worry. O applauds,

    only to nature beauty.

    and drive soberly. Yes.

    No daydreaming.` Oy!

    I hit a side view mirror.

    I watch clouds, O bang.

    Ripped off autos mirror.

    Ta' cost to fix?`$78:00.

    Watch were you goings.

    Get here in a one-piece.

    No wear skimpy 2-piece.

    Mennonite love Pedinska!

    Buy some green pistachio.

    O, "off-topic" gibber jabs-

    We trapped a talon Falcon.

    It was swooping at the cat.

    We can hardly wait to greets.

    You P- is talked about in town.

    You P-you. Neighbors love `P.!

    You P-you. Neighbors know`U!

    Behave, and lug along,`just `U?

    P. U.? Haul logs to a cook stove?

    Maybe we will cook some soups.

    Lady. Pedinska, I's gotta get gone.

    Timothy3 say:`No ever late to sup.

  • Not to worry, Lotus Feet.

    You are like Diogenes with his lantern, looking for an honest man around here.

    Lot's of luck, my frem!

    What you find here are smug, arrogant, self-referential partisans including the what happened to my balls Glen to the phony Joanie and their chorus of true believers.

    They fancy themselves pure as the driven snow on the mountain tops of Aspen, but, in reality, they cannot deal with the institutions which really require CHANGE, especially our failed system of public education.

    They view this as a Republican issue, as if alla dem meanspirited Wepubwickans are just using the absolute failure of the public schools from Atlanta to San Diego to work their nasty right wing agenda.

    Why can't Obama confront and CHANGE this horrible mess?

    Why shouldn't he?

    This is his chance to do something transformative which only he can do.

    Why not?

  • Oh!, Pedinska

    Stop at the second Burma Shave sign.

  • Yep. Fair warning, Thanks, Lotusberry.

    Beware of "self-referential" wankers, indeed.

  • Curfew...

    ...was early at Bahia Honda too. No lights but the stars overhead and cool sea breezes. Really lovely. I'll tell you about that. So...

    ...early friday.

    ...only joy.

    ...can't promise on the audacious babble as it seems an integral part of my DNA.

    ...can promise to drive soberly and retain all side view mirrors.

    ...out of respect for the mennonites I shall leave the 2-piece at home.

    ...well, that, and the fact that warmer climes have spoiled me a bit.

    ...I can haul firewood and the crazy Czech can tell you stories about me cutting and splitting too. But you'd be better off with him cooking. Timothy3 is right about supper, but it needs to be edible. ;-}

  • Sysprog

    Lotusberry

    Oh, I always thought of him as 'Zoltan Feet'.

    Or maybe Revoltin' Dingleberry.

    "self-referential" wankers

    Is that sorta like "automasturbatory critters"?

  • It seems stalin.com is for losers, Lotus Feet.

    They foam at the mouth, don't they.

    Glen, the what happened to my balls? wanna be a pundit, and phony Joanie can at least write.

    I know, what they write ignores a lot of reality, and is mostly vain flights of self absorbed fancy. Especially Glen, what happened to my balls? is a pretty good writer. Good choice of words and a fairly good flow from one thing to another, but, when you shine a light on it, it turns out to be pure partisan rubbish over and over again.

    And. Joanie. She's just a mean old female cat nagging away. She's angry. Who knows why?

    He's angry.

    Who knows why?

    Maybe they are just angry elitists who will always be angry because they've been passed over in the great game of life.

    Who knows?

  • Maybe I'm confused

    But, doesn't everybody here know Zoltan and Lotus are the same person? Why does he keep doing that?

  • Houngan

    Multiple Personality Disorder/Dissociative Identity Disorder? Move over Sybil.

  • To be fair

  • With Obama I dreamed that we could move beyond the domestic and international nightmares brought on by Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II

    It is hard to see how anyone can honestly believe that Clinton's behavior as president merits him being in any substantive way put on the same level as the other three without being either grossly uninformed or irrational (if you think Glen is saying that it does I think you are reading him wrong).
