Uh oh … Huckabee is staying in … which means he’ll quit tomorrow …

Monty Pyton: Not Dead Yet

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGFXGwHsD_A

Suzanne!

fork – that sucks

Oh yeah! I forgot — not dead yet either on this Tuesday (now Wednesday in EST-ville).

Not dead yet? I still feel warmed over fer sure.
Waiting for sleep to come.

happy dance – so glad to see that thers was wrong and that the late late nite pups are still alive

take that thers!

Bring out your dead!

i hope strato files another report from the front. i brought more redbull in case he was in need of resupplies.

the night of the living dead?

bonkers, if you’re here — left you a note about my lame snark in the last thread.

I love this video. I’ve been a Dr. Who fan since the Seventies, though. Thanks for finding it, Suzanne. I think the new season will be starting in a month or so. Something to look forward to.

The competition between Hillary and Barack was a wonderful thing for the progessive cause, and I’m disappointed to see it come to an end. Their pursuit of Edwards’s endorsement drove both of them to the left, as did their need to appeal to blue-collar white males. It’ll be interesting to see where things go from here.

Hey there…

We have to be in our coffins by daybreak or we will shrivel and die.

Suzanne,
I must have left before thers prediction … tell all.

Hey as well…

Monty Python.

is that when we shape change into novakula?

Hi there, Doc…

Concerning the dead thing I just heard that Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

click on the link in my post to his earlier post – it is his we are all gonna die by tuesday post from saturday late nite

Like all great struggles, this one, too has been divided into smaller, more personal battles. One such battle occurred nearby, and has been dutifully fought and reported by none other than our own stratocruiser over these last few dark and deadly nights.

His reports, designated “Dispatches from the Front”, have soothed and comforted this pup in these dire hours…

Night 1

Night 2

Night 3

hey back

Many many thanks to you Bud,I have been busy.

Aloha Ya’ll! I’m back from the caucus, and I’m the new Treasurer for my Precinct!

Oh I understood. I shoulda left a /s after my comment. Thanks for clarifing.

YES! thanks, newton – i was gonna look for those but got busy.

Jim Doyle saying on the Beeb that Obama will be the nominee…

Speaking of “bring out your dead”, have you seen this?

rut roh or a good thing?

aloha….how did it go?

Naw, more like the day of the near-enough dead.

The living dead are too much bother – they keep getting out of the carts.

Easier to live ‘em where they are.

(mostly in administration and “public opinion”)

bonkers :-) A handshake across the miles…

hahahahaha

(taking a break from dancing to the headliner band on the cover).

no, not that, anything but that.

Yes. We will publish the names of CIA operatives and demand tax cuts.

no HI results yet on the CNN site

Lowly privates have jobs, too…
*sniff*

Hi Biodun – hi folks!

Just back from days of the living dead flu.

Hope your travels have been to good places.

Tell all, Treasurer. Congratulations!

Hi Chris, Suz, all. Exciting night, what a great speech.

keep dancing then

Yeah, I keep checking the CNN site. My collie just sensed some emotion and is trying to climb into my lap. I love the old guy, but I swear he’s like an even move lame version of Deanna Troi on Star Trek: Next Generation.

Hilarious. If the man doesn’t already have a career as a comedy writer, he may in the future.

Hi Kirk! The flu is kicking our asses over here in the East as well. I’m inoculated…

Our EMS services are bearing the brunt lately.

thanks – loved it…

and I’ll feel like less of a nerd for days, now…

My wife volunteered me…! She was pushing me for Prez, but, I told her I’d take another position…! What a diverse cross section of Hilo! Phenomenal turnout, biggest to date for Hilo. Although it was ballot voting and everybody left right after voting Obama clearly won the majority…!

CNN hawaii results page

Dammit, I liked the last Dr. Who, goofy lookin’ dude with those barn door ears, he was really good in that role.

Is the same little blond going to play Rose?

Kirk, sorry to hear you’ve been sick. I hear the flu vaccines this year are only effective against about 40% of the flu strains going around. I figure one shot of whiskey a night should kill anything, and if it doesn’t…at least I’ll sleep.

I had estimated about 700-800 people showed up, 9 precincts were combined, my precinct had 70 ballots cast…!

She exited to an alternate universe in Season 28. I really like the new Doctor, although the previous one was very good, too.

*sending chicken soup through the tubes to all the sickly pups*

the flu sucks. an advantage to being hermitlike is it does lower my exposure to germs

Hiya Margot!
Late, yes. But not snowing…

hey there, Kauai checking in.

Whatever I have has been going around Daycare work like wildfire.
I have never had a cold go from my chest to my head before, it’s always the other way around and this stuff just won’t go away.

….and that’s all, folks.
Goodnight, all. The best of all possible tomorrows to you all.

Too funny! Hope we get a report tonight.

Good for you!

48 (wow, warm) and its raining

power lines are going down around me (am listening to firedispatch dot com) but so far.. knocking on wood and crossing my fingers and toes

Hilo town had an awesome turnout, how was Lihue’s?

So have I…that Google stuff is really serious…

Again, gang:

Google is your permanent digital resume for your life on earth. But all is not lost or hopeless…Help is on the way, to cite Edwards…

For anyone who needs to remove/improve results when they self-Google, please email me privately, and I’ll forward you a set of instructions that a dear friend of mine (house-mate in China in 2002) sent me (real this morning….

g’nite ron d

still processing HI results according to the CNN page

You go, girl!

Ching ching!! I’ll go back for the full report.

Crap.
I have to buy a new DVD player just so I can watch the Pink Floyd I bought, I’ll just go get Dr. Who while I’m at it.

Suz, crossing my fingers as well — are the winds picking up?

I’m sure my enemies have printed out all the nasty stuff they could find (and make up) about me by now.

And, of course, the NSA.

gnite ron, sleep well.

a wetter and windier storm is projected to come in saturday. that should be the worst of the storms this week.

how’s it going there?

This is a good idea, from a diary from Nolalily at dKos.
Get this from Obsidian Wings re: Obama’s legislative accomplishments. It’s good to know.

My favorite entry in one of the Next Generation drinking games is “take a drink every time Troi says something blindingly obvious.” *g*

Kilauea is a small town, probably 5000 people. There were 270 folks there, the organizers said the last time they had three. Everyone was blown away. No one I talked to had ever done anything like this, but felt that they had reached the end and needed to make some kind of statement.

I didn’t stay for the final count, but I am positive Obama swept it.

still no results on the cnn page.

i’ll be updating my post as the results come in

Suzanne, no Sty tonight, they have been playing some real down and dirty Blues here tonight;

http://www.customchannels.net/…..om/pop.htm

There you go. I’ve been reluctant to buy them, since they’re ridiculously expensive, but one of these days I’ll make another pilgrimage to Fry’s and pick it up, or maybe I’ll finally make nice with Amazon …

Meanwhile, that first link in my first comment here is about Season 29, the second for the latest Doctor. No real spoilers, just discussing the show’s history, mostly.

Suz, whatever you all get out there usually ends up here three to four days later. In the interim we’re looking at an Alberta Clipper here, and some more yucky stuff over the weekend.

fork! i’ve been so busy tonight i completely forgot about the pig

head hanging in shame

So CTuttle, how many people showed up in 2004?

Good night, RonD.

Loudon I hope you and your family stay well…

and Margot, I love your treatment regimen ;)

STATE INFORMATION: 4 electoral votes

DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL:
Open caucuses
29 total delegates*
20 delegates tied to February 19 caucuses

still no results.

Oh, I feel for you. The last time I had The Gunk, I tried Mucinex. It was like a spring thaw going on, all kinds of cracking sounds going on in the sinuses. Very dramatic (and effective).

I think it’ll be probably another hour before we get any viable numbers, Suz! It was controlled chaos! Everybody was in high spirits despite 700+ bodies sweltering inside a school cafeteria…!

baby girl was on that stuff last week – she no longer sounds like a fog horn

I took this picture in New Orleans pre katrina but it captures the humor of the town and works with the dead theme of tonight. It is a favorite of mine.
http://www.dahothouse.com/media/always.jpg

I am happy that the race is not yet decided and ideally would come down to Puerto Rico or South Dakota and Montana. I think that a Presidential primary in Oregon that matters will really help our chances in the Senate race.

Good night RonD.

and Busted, hope you feel better soon and the daycare center gets pacified. Work is hard enough when the adults act like adults…

Good night pups, will be looking for the HI results in the AM…

sounds like fun CT – no wonder you are still glowing

That turnout is awesome! I think this November is going to be historic in more ways than one.

Tomorrow, ASAP.
Thanks.

The precinct captain said about 20 people cast their ballot in ‘04!

g’nite LL

C Tuttle, would that by my old alma mater, Hilo High?

I like this. Sure took a while to find out how to load the playlist into my “media player”, though. It’d be nice if they offered a link for all us contrarians.

It shows through the toobz…? ;-)

I’m going to try and sleep, might lurk for awhile while I nod off.
Y’all have a good one.

Drive by to drop this….good stuff..we don’t need no stinkin’ cars we got feet and we are going to vote
http://www.crooksandliars.com/…..s-to-vote/

Kirk and Busted, for you.

Ho, Cuz! That be it! 8-)

Really cool!

Digg ready, Suz!

I am a highly trained observer, CT… not much gets by me. ask one of my ex husbands.

g’nite busted – sleep well

thanks newton *blushing*

you bet: it looks really good on you!

A few weeks ago I wrote that it could go to the convention undecided as far as I was concerned. I don’t think I’ve actually watched one since the Eighties.

Thank you, how sweet.

Cujo, I saw something about the playlist being supported by something or other on the player itself, Nyquil is working, brain isn’t.

Steamroller.

It was really cool, Redshift. The crowd was laughing and happy, despite the fact that they had to move us into the gym, and then we had to wait forever for them to complete the sign in process. The organizers kept apologizing, saying they were expecting a big crowd, but it nothing this big.

boa noite (good night) pups

oh, love me some james taylor and this song.

Thank you Loo Hoo – you are so thoughtful.

g’nite wobbly

Bonkers, if you’re hereabouts, I really liked your positive comment last thread. This will be the END OF THE NEOCONS FOREVER!

In honor of the apparent success of Barack Obama, and my FEVERED delight at the apparent demise of HRC, I’d like to offer the lyrics and an mp3 of one of my heroes since LONG ago, who like Doc Watson, is a national treasure yet less well known than Doc. This is for you, Suz, I saved it for this thread cus yer ’special’:

http://www.westernjubilee.com/…..o-Cons.mp3

May Dawg Help Us Elect Someone Other Than A NeoCon Lite . . . *G*

Norman & Nancy Blake
Don’t Be Afraid of the Neo-Cons

And away down yonder in the Florida sand
Old Jeb Bush is a mighty man
He told little brother, don’t be blue
For I’ma gonna hand this thing to you
Katrina blew through the town
Black waters flooded all around
No money to raise the levees high
And so we watched New Orleans die

The churches all got on board
In the Holy name of our Lord
They took him for their favorite son
And they sent him away to Washington

Bill Clinton was a democrat
He saved us money in his hat
He fell from grace the story goes
Then Georgie put us in the hole

Now Georgie Bush, he is the man
He landed in Afghanistan
We’ll get Osama, was his crack
And now we’re stranded in Iraq

Now Casey was Cindy’s son
He marched away with his gun
For a noble cause he heard Bush say
He died in a war so far away

He told ole’ Rumsfeld on the green
Now you’re the best I’ve ever seen
Just heed my words and you’ll go far
And help me win my daddy’s war

Now Georgie is kind and meek
He kissed the king upon his cheek
They walked the garden hand in hand
As the oil and blood dripped on the sand

O’ Cheney lives away down town
By a cement bunker underground
No more he’ll roam Wyoming’s hills
Halliburton is his thrill

And now my little song is done
‘Bout the neo-cons in Washington
No more I’ll sing these words again
You can see it all on CNN

Don’t send your money to Washington
To fight a war that’s never done
Don’t play their games don’t be their pawns
And don’t be afraid of the neo-cons

Don’t send you money to Washington
To fight a war that’s never done
Don’t play their games don’t be their pawns
And don’t be afraid of the neo-cons

Bless Norman Blake. And Barack Obama.

Here’s to change, ANY change.

*G*

loohoo, this is a recent one

G’nite woobly – hope you sleep well.

(hope the snake sleep swell, too.)

S’OK. I finally just looked at the HTML on the page and figured it out. All they would have needed to do was provide a link, and say “if you don’t have WMP or whatever, try dragging this to your player”. Works fine with Xine.

Bum link, larue.

Obama’s site has had this counter for a few weeks where they’re trying to get 500,000 donors before March 4th. I’ve noticed it not changing a whole lot and thinking there’s no way they’ll make that, since it seemed to go up less than 10,000 donors in a week.

I tried to pay attention today, and if memory serves correctly it has gone up 20,000 just today. It seems to be going up around 1,000 donors an hour at the moment and it’s over 480,000. Freakin unreal.

Cool, James Taylor! There was young pups from the university, sitting next to frail elderly Japanese ladies, whites, blacks, locals… It was an extremely diverse crowd, no one group dominated, nor was any ethnicity left out! As many women as men!

thanks, larue, but i’m not special. i just help out as best i can

Here’s that excellent MSNBC moment from tonight…
Candidates beware – your surrogates should be chosen wisely.
But if they fall down, Tweety will be there to make people forget their failings.

The King doing Steamroller, elvis style

Nice. My brother and sis-in-law took me to see him last year. I’d say it took me back to my youth, but ‘ol James is aging just like the rest of us. Still on the dime, though. I really like this version.

bwahahahaha thanks newton

Heh, I’ll second that notion! I amused a few individuals by stating I don’t belong to any ‘Organized’ Party…! ;-)

They’ll be here, for a while. In 20 years, most of the old farts WILL die off, and that’s a blessing, as I think about MY final two, maybe three decades on this rock.

In the upcoming years, they will continue to remorph time and time again under the auspicies of Leo Strauss’ cloaks, and try and position themselves somewhere in the center, which is STILL right of Atilla The Hun and Hitler.

But with luck, we can beat them and the repugs, to DEATH, for 8 years, claim Congress for 8 or more, and run a streak where the pubs and the neocons are relegated to the evil annals of history, where they right and rightously belong.

They ruined a two century democracy, near the height of it’s glory. May they suffer history’s and fate’s right hand ingloriously, as is deserved.

Harumph.

*G*

“Don’t send your money to Washington,
And don’t be afraid of the neocons.”

*G*

This will be the END OF THE NEOCONS FOREVER!

For such we must hope, and make the effort to make sure that all failures of the Bush Administraiton are seen as failures of conservatism (in general) and especially of neoconservatism.

Link? I don’t even see my post . . . ?????

Here’s the mp3:

http://www.westernjubilee.com/…..o-Cons.mp3

larue, its there, do a hard refresh of the page

Now you’re making me want to caucus rather than primary.

larue, your link is bad.. wanna try again..

Aw thanks Loo Hoo.

Can’t remember if I actually typed this out, but I wanted to compliment you on how you’ve handled the rising tensions around here recently. I remember you being an early Clinton backer, and giving thoughtful reasons for your support that even made me question my own opinions about Hillary.

Even through the changing tides in the campaign, I haven’t noticed you peddling smears and innuendo, and instead just providing a good check and balance to my Obama support.

Your behaviour has been a model of how to have a difference of opinion, and yet at the same time realizing we’re all on the same team trying to accomplish the same things. Thanks for that!

I had, but still . . now, I see it. And my second paste of the linky. Thanks and sorry Suz and Pups.

For some reason, the whole URL is not pasting . . . wierd.

Here’s the lyrics page, and the mp3 link is at the bottom. Sorry folks, for the IT wierdings . . . lol

http://www.westernjubilee.com/…..prings.htm

standing on chair clapping

i completely agree – and thank you

There was a very clear sense that it was “enough already!” Locals mixed with newcomers, young and old, never mind. Everyone just showing up to do their little part in bringing about change.

Obama is sitting on a golden opportunity. I hope he shows up for it.

Very….. hungry….. Need Hawaii results…… more delegates, very hungry……

Cool. That one works!
Thanks!

carlo, still no hawaii results yet – per the CNN page

thanks larue – very cool

Thanks so much. I missed that tonight. What a dweeb Tweets is, huh?

ouch! that was kirk watson, texas state senator, former great mayor of austin, whom i worked hard to elect, falling down on tweety’s question about barack obama’s accomplishments. boy, do i wish he’d done his homework.

If he wasn’t in what is supposed to be a serious business, it would be funny!
Hi Loo Hoo!

Yep. Choose your flacks wisely, even the good-guys.

No worry, they’re doing it on Hawaiian time…! *g*

Louis le chat contemplates Hillary’s outlook.

*wanders in and plops onto a nearby couch in a huff* Finished my fed tax returns for the year. It’s bad when you make under 15K and you have to PAY the forkin’ feds money back: 67$ to be exact. Refund? What bloody refund!?

*sighs* I swear, penalized for being single, with no kids and no hubby. And i refuse to spit out a kid for a tax deduction, that’s just plain wrong(and stupid).

One thing I had looked for was any pollsters, for the exit polling data and I couldn’t find any! I was surprised, considering we had 9 precincts amalgamated…!

fork – that really sucks big ones alias

hahahaha

What a beauty. Is it yours?

Did you do the EIC worksheet? Ya don’t have to have children for EIC!

That’s been my complaint every since the Shrub’s tax cuts went into effect. I don’t get returns anymore. I’ll be lucky to get any part of the refund this year–after i pay them the bloody stupid money. I used to get tax returns with even LESS money in the 90s. I wasn’t a dependent with my parents even though i was in their house, so i did my own returns.

The Progressive agenda plays to the majority the Neocan play to a small minority.
Take care of the “We The People” and they will take care of the progressive. Medical care, living wages, enivornmental defense, end poverty tax the rich…Robin Hood vsthe Sheriff of Nottingham.
Unite all the Dems under one roof, get out the broom and sweep congress. Be a good neighbor nation instead of a bully. Use our power for good. Help justice prevail.

I actually made too MUCH for the EIC. I was about 2K over the income limit, so no can do. I’m still having trouble finding a better paying job at the moment, so all i can do is attempt to see if i can get any kind of assistance for food at the very least at this point. 3(all i’m allowed at all without a kid) months of that is better than nothing, and at least in that time i can actually find a better job!

CNN has Obama picking up 13 more pledged delegates than Clinton from WI. This delegate game is so strange.

I prefer MSNBC’s count since they don’t include supers. You’d assume many undecided supers would start going to Obama, but perhaps many are waiting to see if someone locks it up first. Yes it’s daunting, but seems like Hillary could come back so it’s not over yet. Two more debates coming up as well.

This will be the END OF THE NEOCONS FOREVER!

For such we must hope, and make the effort to make sure that all failures of the Bush Administraiton are seen as failures of conservatism (in general) and especially of neoconservatism.

The best way to do this is start thr Impeachment investigation (no interference from DOJ)…hang out the rethug dirty laundry, if some dems are in it to bad.

I’ve gotten assistance from our local food bank in the recent past. i was thankful they did not make me feel unworthy and/or guilty when i asked for help.

Yep.

*G*

LEMME HEAR IT CHOIR!!!!

*G*

“Can I Sing For You Now?’

*G*

Well thanks. I think I’ll cry when Hillary gives her concession speech, but I’m excited about Obama. I’d love to see her be the VP. She has so much to offer. Bill certainly didn’t do her any favors. If he had stayed out of it until the end, it would have helped. But, Obama sounds better and better every time he speaks. This will be good. We’ll all look back at Bushco with disbelief in the years to come. Hopefully we’ll be watching the war crimes trials.

That does bite, Alias! I wish the best of luck…! *g*

Thanks!

I did that the first year i got knocked down by the endometriosis, it messed up my wages with nearly 2 weeks off without pay. I had no money for months and everything else went to bills. I’m in that strait again, for completely different reasons this time. *grumbles at lousy luck*

I’ll definitely be going there if i can’t get food stamps. But i at least want something back from what the hell i’m paying back on my checks.

Very sleepy outlook…

Hey, newtonusr!

Anyone hoping Barack Obama might pick John Edwards for Veep?

I sure am . . . I don’t wanna see HRC as the choice!!!

Too much tomfoolery to take place if she’s the one. . . .

And maybe Kuch for Attorney General?

Gore for cabinet spot on environmental? If he don’t sell us out to the nukes industry . . .

But ANY thing is gonna be better than what we’ve suffered . . . and to break the back of Newt’s Contract On America, FULLY, after all these years . . . . what a load off our chests. Maybe Kansas V Board Of Ed, and Roe V Wade will be held with respect, again, and the small percent biblical Design Theory can be relegated to the absurdity it is, relegated with GREAT derision, and cast out like the snake handling white racist jive it is.

*G*

Can I get a HARUMPH right heah! *G*

that is a very healthy outlook to have, loohoo. i’ll bring tissues – if they are needed.

Louis lives chez nous.

Hawaii Dem rules state that each precinct’s delegation must have an equal proportion of women to men when ever possible, for instance my precinct has three delegates to the state convention. We had only one woman volunteer and she was automatically appointed, but, then we had to choose the other two from nine male volunteers…

still no HI results… island time indeed, CT

Nottingham. For Alias.

Honored to do so, and you are MOST welcome . . . Norman Blake has a very special place in my musical heart, always has . . . *G*

HRC as Veep? Loo, say it ain’t so! lol

Think she’ll bring back any of the silverware? My bad . . . (scuffs toe of shoe, looks down with guilt) lol

louis has finally grown into his paws, pun

got his winter coat on

for alias

*grins* Thank you! This is actually my mom’s favorite Disney movie, but i always loved the voices and the music. The music especially, so very well done.

And ye gods, it suits everyone in my kinda situation. I know for sure i’m not alone in it. Which only serves to make me even more annoyed at the state of things in general.

looks like you got that ‘looking guilty’ down pat (laughing)

That silverware thing was all a lie. She’d be really good since before Darth, VPs generally did a lot of international work, which she knows. I’d like to see Keith as Press Secretary too! Edwards on the Supremes.
Who else??

Louis lives chez nous.

Ca va bien. Il est le meow de chat.

Fitz for Supremes.

What was that Larue about Al Gore and nuclear power?

Well, you don’t insult the guests, and when the guests are as of a high moral certitude and quality human level as YOURS are . . . I’m trainable. Let’s leave it at that? *G*

Hey, Loo Hoo is top shelf blog fun . . . for her I SHOULD look a bit guilty once in a while. ;-)

deal

and i agree wholeheartedly – loohoo is top shelf

This is funny: Zombie Reagan Close To McCain Endorsement

*chairdances*

Oh, and Suzanne? This particular classic bit of swing is a favorite on my streaming stations. Still one of the coolest pieces of music in existence in my world. XD

glad it perked ya up alias :)

renee in ohio, that is too forking funny! k thanks

Ding!

*waving to npb across monterey bay*

Awww

that is hysterical!!

Glad you enjoyed it–I guess I really do need to get to bed now. I said that about an hour ago, but bloghopping takes less energy than getting ready for bed. But for reals now…

I promised myself I wouldn’t go to bed until I heard some kind of results from Hawaii.

That was when Jane posted a while ago that HI caucuses ended at, I believe, 12:30 a.m. EST. That’s 11:30 p.m. for me. I figured cable news would declare a victor soon after that based on exit polls.

I have been mindlessly watching cable news for hours, finally realized both channels were repeating themselves.

That CNN site seems worthless; hasn’t been updated since 8 p.m. EST? WTF?

Has anybody heard anything? (I read the comments from CT and other HI caucus attenders)

Suz, this is from the home page of Hawaii Dems…

**Look for results of the Presidential Preference Poll on this page later tonight. We’ll have them posted as soon as we can, but probably no earlier than 9:30 p.m. due to the heavy turnout.**

http://www.hawaiidemocrats.org/

Ohhh, I LIKE KO as Press Sec!! NICE PICK!!!

Edwards on the Supreme’s? SURE!

But I need him and Kuch in THIS admin!

And the Supreme’s don’t HAVE any appointments coming up, do they?

But I’m with ya, we sure as SHAT need to revamp THAT mess of a Judiciary! *G*

Can we trade Edwards for Veep, and HRC for Attorney General? SHE GOT LAW!!!! *G*

Where we gonna put Kuch? Or his wife, for THAT matter, she’s brilliant, too. *G*

I’d like to see what Michelle Obama and Mz. Kuch could do for the masses . . . social reforms, and such.

And SOMEONE has to head up the federally REBUILD AMERICA program, as we support the unemployed for work, training, and a better future . . . and I’d like to see that tied to EVERY social services able bodied human recipient as MANDATORY!

NO FREE LUNCH unless yer disabled and UNABLE to work.

Everyone goes into a labor pool of retooling america, to earn money, health CARE not COVERAGE, and continuing education . . . civil service becomes MANDATORY, for two years, and helps fill daycare needs for working women and men, married or single, who have children.

Damn, this merlot has me putting some pot and a chicken in EVERY one’s life and home! *G*

Nite all, thanks for lettin me ramble a bit. ;-)

That is funny. I knew Reagan was out there doing some endorsing!

What time in FDL time is 9:30 p.m. HI time?

g’nite renee and thanks

Pardonai m’ois, parlez vouz Le Meow?

-Le Chat Grande du Manor. ;-)

Well, err.. gulp, ummm… It’s 9:37 now…!

My current ear worm.

*keeps dancing to some happy japanese ska* These girls are fresh outta high school, but they NAIL the whole feel of the genre. This is one of the tracks i plan on treating my audience to when i get back on air on Radio Riel. I’m always keeping up with new material, and having so much fun doing it!

Evening/morning, gang -

Been working on pulling papers together for tax prep; looks like alias and I are on the same wave length tonight. Taking a break for a little TLC at the Lake.

Ooh, 77% Obama!

i keep checking the sites but nothing yet

bingo O 77 C 23 8%

g’nite larue

What does 9:30 pm mean on the continent?

50 million Americans living below the poverty level. Some working three jobs to a family, one paycheck from homeless…millions losing subprime housing with prime starting the same.
The blues for all but the wealthy…not to say I don’t know some who are really great people and help others like some cool landlords.
Single payer health care picks up people like you and me. Keep the faith and things will turn for you. Boxer just sent me an e-mail she is putting more food stamps in the Farm bill. Things are turning, but you have to look out for number one “WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR FRIENDS” as the Beattles sang.

Wasnt’ Gore at some point tied to the nuke industry, which I think is ANTIGreen? I know the Pub’s painted him that way, but didn’t he take Nuke PAC money at some point, for the 2K run he lost to the Supreme’s and FL?

Guess I’m still here . . . more merlot . . . *G*

A beautiful slow rain again in Godforsakenvalley . . . which means snow in the Sierra, good for CA water supplies.

WRONG..Fitz for Attorney General to clean out the Department of Justice!!!

Thanks, Suzanne and Flyero

8 percent reporting, hmmm

Just home from work. The drive home was nuts! Rightwing radio even more nuts.

OBAMA!!!

they live again, the court shut ‘em down and they found a way to come back.

YO MAMA!!!

Hey, that’s pretty much what Obama was talking about tonight, minus the positions being filled (and Ms. Kuchinich!)

Good night.

better yet – fitz for ag

CT, are you watching local TV out there? Any projections?

I don’t think we can get too smug about what happens after the primary, assuming Obama wins.

Unfortunately, there’s a large group of merkin people who really aren’t going to like the image of an African-American family in the White House. The powers-that-be obviously won’t shrink from using this to their advantage, both in subtle and not so subtle ways.

The right will most certainly go after Michelle Obama. This has already begun. (And the irony is that she won’t be liked by many of the very same people who don’t like Hillary – and for similar reasons.)

In reality, no Democrat will be allowed to approach the White House without having to fend off the rumor of some kind of personal scandal. While it may well be that Obama is squeaky clean, I strongly suspect that we have yet to see will be alleged against him. And I’m sure they’ll wait until the nomination is set before springing whatever it is they might have up their sleeves.

In any case, we just have to hope that the Obama people have anticipated all this, and that they have their counter strategy very well-planned and orchestrated.

Time to refresh the merlot? *G*

Obamamania Hawaii style – mon dieu – good on him – truly impressive.

wow, that is crisp. strong finish.

Here were some neat pictures from dkos diarist scottmaui in Hana:

tally:
Obama 125
Clinton 20

refresh the page – updated results posted up top

My impression from the caucus was that number might hold out thru out the nite…! It shouldn’t dip too much!

I actually am finished with my taxes. YEEHAW! Finished today.

Here’s a toast to HRC:

Hillary, you are toast…

Fitz laid down, bowed out, fast. Likely, from threats.

I say we let Fitz live out his time, in a glory he deserves for what he DID do.

Hank Waxman, now . . . maybe there’s a young lion of sorts, with a grudge to settle, and a love for the contstitution. ??? Ya think?

None of the local channels are covering it yet, but, the ten o’clock news is coming up shortly, and they’ll certainly start covering it then…!

This has been a REAL interesting almost non story in the MSM . . . I had NOT seen the latest in the past 24 hours. Good news!!! *G*

Now if we can only get Sibel Edmonds some major air time, and coverage, about what she knows about the corruption of our government . . . *G*

Where in California do you live. I’m in N. San Diego County, and looking forward to the best water bill ever!

Fitz laid down, bowed out, fast. Likely, from threats.

I keep hearing this around here.
If someone who has sat in the seat of a United States Attorney said this, I would be prone to listen.
Otherwise…

How the hell could anyone be uncommitted? I mean it’s not like nothing counts…

Great, aren’t they? I’ve been sampling their other songs from their youtube site. So now i know they’re worth spending money on when my finances get sorted out. ^^ Worth the investment in real talent like this! And why i keep going back and seeking more out. Every time i think i’ve heard it all? Something like this sneaks up and bites me.

We should have more Hawaii results at midnight PCT (10 pm island time, 3am for you late-late-late nite pups in the east) :)

FITZ for AG sounds wonderful, and in keeping with Obama’s wanting to reach across the aisle.

I truly had considered checking off Edwards box, it was hard to keep my eyes focused on Obama’s..!

An old (now late) Democratic county chairman I used to know, from an urban county known for having a “machine,” used to say, “If you don’t go uncommitted, you can’t have any fun!”

The idea was that uncommitted delegates might be able to bargain for some sort of consideration for their vote.

You don’t hear that so much anymore.

I would be considered uncommitted but I prefer the term neutral.

Sacto, smack dab in the godforsakeyvalleythattimeforgot.
*G*

Happily, Fitzgerald is a registered Independent.
:-)
No Aisle-reaching there, unless you’re talking about confirmation battles.

Thanks, to me this is a big deal, not to mention the other big deal,
even my ex mother in law,
the staunch republican has become
An Obamakin

I find it incredulous that Sibel Edmonds story cannot get traction
These people are traitors in the worst sense of the word.

Those people all forgot their jackets and scarves…

Heh, the first words outta the newscaster’s mouth; “Massive turnout, Shortage of Ballots!”"

Leaks can find many small cracks thru’ which to seep. *g* IOW, don’t fork with the nets.

Are you all people of the night…707 or really excited to see a new possibility.

Hey Larue…I nominate you for Housing and Urban Development…we’ll put people in housing with sweat equity condo’s in Urban areas. The down payment is work for your place no interest loan first five years. You know the landscape sounds like. What do you say? You can play the Woody songs too.

It would be a great relief in this house, as Kiddo is wont to say, to see the sun shine again.

I’d like to suggest a history of his efforts CALLING OUT the neocon’s, and the Bush Admin, and then, the HUGE dropoff of all his efforts, shortly after Mz. PELOSI THE TRAITOR, took the Speakership, as the grounds for my comments.

Or shortly after that.

How does one count for the complete and abject LACK of perseverence on issues and matters TIED to LibbyGate, post Libby Lite Sentencing?

Course, I ALSO greatly fault Reid, Pelosi, and all the dem’s we elected in good faith in ‘06, who have UTTERLY failed this nation, our constitution, and our WE The People.

So, the INACTION, and lack of follow thru on the part of Fitz, is public known, and I think, fair game for questioning.

What was it that stopped him in his previously VORACIOUS march to defend our Constitution?

HI results still sitting at 8% reporting

Okay, reaching into the middle of the aisle. I think that’s what Obama really means. He might not reach so far as say…Sessions.

New numbers have been just released but, they haven’t been posted at CNN yet!

Hey, my pops was a great influence on me, and he was a man of the people, union rights in the 30’s, and an activist, his whole life. I get a FEW things right.

There’s MORE, lots more, that has influenced me, but, I’m mostly pro worker, and pro masses.

Kin ya tell? *G*

from Miss Laura at DKos w/ help from the Honolulu newspaper of record within the last hour or so:

Volunteers at Manoa Elementary School’s cafeteria caucus site ran out of ballots at 7 p.m. as more than 3,200 stood in a line that wrapped around the outdoor blacktop and playground area.

The volunteers quickly ran off to photocopy more ballots, which then had to be cut up.

Koko Head Elementary School’s caucus site ran out of blue Democratic Party registration cards around 7 p.m.

At Kailua District Park, more than 1,000 people stood in two separate lines that snaked around the pool, gym and baseball fields.

Only four volunteers staffed tables at the entrance as others passed out blue Democratic Party cards.

At Kawananakoa Middle School cafeteria’s caucus site, overwhelmed volunteers had to open up the school’s auditorium to handle the overflow crowd of 1,200 people.

I noticed that… :)
The tank tops are definitely a sight to be envied in February, even for this Californian.

But I’m thinking of flying to Austin to help Obama’s campaign; it’s not quite Hawaii, but I’d say the political climate seems inviting.

Not arguing with the question. But I’ve heard no one, Gooper or otherwise, who has had a DOJ job or the like, opine on this.

Just us, who are befuddled by his lack of prosecution of Shooter and company. We are rightfully disappointed, but I personally don’t know the threshold for making a federal case against a sitting Veep. I would imagine it’s not a low bar.

thanks ct

Please tell!

Good on you! And I don’t even actually *do* mine….after pulling all the bloody paperwork together, I’m a wimp and willing to pay someone else to finish the dirty deed.

whereabouts do you live?

Heh, the lines and parking was daunting at my site, too!

But what can they do when the DOJ is doing the bidding of the WH? It will be years of sorting this all out. I just want to know what’s in it for Mukasy? Why in the world would he put himself in this position? He’ll be looking at obstruction of war crimes and not upholding the Constitution. What possible motivation does he have for getting into this???

At least, I would imagine, you did not have to stand in falling (wet) snow like I did on Feb. 5 in KS!!!

he’s clearly aligned himself with the white house. to wit, his wide stance on torture.

I’m in our capital, Sack-a-tomatoes. . You?

These turnout figures across the country are probably the best news of all….let’s hope it’s gonna be harder and harder for the thugs to pull their dirty tricks in November.

4 to 1 for Obama was the quick assessment, have to watch for the CNN feed, since they’re released in paper printouts, not digitally…!

Right. Without tasking from the Department, Fitzgerald is a lowly USA from Illinois. He has no mandate beyond that district, unless further Plame-Libby matters arise.

Sure can, Larue. I think it’s been called “salt of the earth”. Right? Good for you and your dad!

The statue of liberty will weep for joy and the pros at DOJ will welcome him with open arms as they boot out all the BUSHCO minions that went after dem candidates before the 2006 election. Imagine just justice…whoooee

that is what my dad used to call it – he lived in carmichael until he passed several years ago

thanks!

that other capital, the texas one. and i’m not as happy as i could be if i could have gotten tix to the presidential debate here this thursday.

What good are the “24 hour” cable networks if they don’t have a night crew to do live news? I’m tired of watching Wolf call Wisconsin for the third time tonight. And it ain’t that late here!

Is there an internet feed for Hawaii local TV news somewhere?

CNN is recycling its talking heads from 2 or 3 hours ago; MSNBC is playing “Catch a Predator!”

I guess they don’t budget much for 3 a.m. EST

That, or they don’t know (or care) that Hawai’i exists…

+1, the one thing I don’t want to talk about and put in the ozone-bad juju
But I worry tremendously.

Fortunately, the battle for the nomination is giving Obama a really good chance to define himself and to create a positive image, in the minds of the public, before the right tries to redefine him.

Sure – I lived and worked there for several years – nice cozy little neighborhoods.

Anything I know, I’ve learnt from history and pray it might work again.

If elected, I won’t serve.

Inbetween the pork on the que, guarding the moonshine, and picking and sanging, making sure everyone gets fed and well ‘hydrated’ . . .

A Larue’s gotta make sure the guests are cared for, and everyone’s ready to pick some. *G*

Thanks for the nod, though . . . there are others in here MUCH more qualified to develop, run, and administrate the rebuilding of America. They’ve lived it, and are doing it, now. And some of them have done it all their lives.

THEY, the Texas Betsy’s, Loo Hoo’s, and SO many others, who can make it all happen.

If we voters give them the chance, all I wanna do is get out of their way and let them work their magic.

Trust. And Faith. In those who live our dreams and have DONE so.

Someone start a list, of FDL Pups, beginning with Tex Betsy, and Loo Hoo . . . including FDL staff, too, they have fought the good fight, my disagreements at times notwithstanding . . . *G*

Kirk Murph.

SO many others, I can’t name them.

List them all, folks, they are the progressives and liberals, and loyal to the cause of the masses.

There ARE many of them, in here . . and thru the blogosphere . . .

And on that note, I hope I show, there IS a positive spin to This Larue . . . despite the obvious negative we are all facing in these dark times . . . but there’s hope, methinks. I wasn’t sure about that, a few months ago. ;-)

Hawaii Caucus Report:
I just got back from my Democratic Caucus in Honolulu (District 25), and it was a phenomenal night! We had a huge line of new voters, and another huge line of people registering as Democrats for the first time– so many that we ran out of Democratic Party registration forms! If we had designed the influx better, we would have had a third line for registered voters who are already members of the Democratic party, but weren’t sure which precinct they were in (we would have processed everyone faster.) People had gotten word of a possible huge turnout. I brought a friend with a disability and arrived early, about 5:30 (voting was to begin at 7 PM). At that time, almost everyone there was a volunteer worker, but soon people coming to vote were arriving early. Some came expecting to vote early, registered, and then had to leave before voting even began.

Everyone had to go to their precinct table to await the official time for the caucus vote, 7:00 – 7:30 PM. The procedure was that everyone had to sign in at their precinct, get a ballot and vote. Unfortunately, we had no microphone or loudspeakers in the room full of hundreds of people! The poor district president had to try to shout over the din to move us along to the next point on the “agenda”.

It was then up to the precinct officers (like me) who had to match up sign-ins with votes in order to validate. We didn’t have to match each vote with each sign-in, but the totals had to match. We basically had to trust that people would not vote unless they had signed in, and that they would only vote once! Some precincts quickly ran out of Precinct Sign-in forms, and I barely had enough. Our tables were filled to overflowing. Once balloting started at 7:00, there was mayhem for a while. In my precinct, everyone left as soon as they voted. No one in my precinct stayed for the “party business” that was supposed to come next. But even after my tables had voted and emptied out, there were still long lines with new voters, and newly registering Democrats who needed to know what precinct they were in. Consequently, I was kept busy with a trickle of voters long after the voting was supposed to end. Finally, about 8:00, we got the call (or “shout”) to start counting ballots. Of course, the ballots in each precinct had to be signed off by two people. By this point, I was the only person left in my precinct, so I had to get help from another precinct.

There were FOUR names on the ballot: Clinton and Obama, of course, but also Kucinich and Edwards, even though they had dropped out, and “Uncommitted.”

My precinct, most of which was easy walking distance from the school Obama attended, went heavily for Obama, 56-8. All precincts in our District went heavily for Obama, about 3:1.

Yup – and he’s certainly gettin’ the free air time when and where it counts. 24 minute speech tonight, a little heavier on policy. I don’t think McCain could talk that long without it being a snoozer.

Here’s the local ABC affiliate!

He may still be in the doghouse for his “pimping Chelsea” remark…

Mukasy? Good lord, pride, marching orders from the Borg Queen, the knowing that NO ONE is held accountable cuz the Constitution is NOT enforcable due to a corrupted Judiciary, and the Christian Fellowship hiring practices since Newt’s Contract to permeate and obfuscate and DESTROY any sense of constitutioinal loyalty to the masses?

I’m sorry. Did I REMOTELY begin to address your question/posit? *G*

I know I’m missing so many. But, they’re with us!

You make the most salient point of the evening…Obama gets name exposure..the recognition needed in the general… the more ttacks by rethugs the better he is known… he has the best troops on the ground of any campaign I know of…. I am however an Edwards agenda supporter…he has shared that and Gore and Edwards will grease the skids of governance for his administration…we may be seeing something very powerful…hope our lucky stars are with us.

I note that my candidate, John Edwards, is running below Kucinich and Uncommitted! (I became an Obamite after Edwards withdrew)

Yes, but my point is, he knew what he was getting into. Why did he do it? Just rank, feverish, religious belief in W? Doesn’t make any sense. There’s something BIG in it for him.

From Beggar’s Banquet, originally, but this is worthy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..re=related

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Let’s drink to the hard working people
Let’s drink to the lowly of birth
Raise your glass to the good and the evil
Let’s drink to the salt of the earth
Say a prayer for the common foot soldier
Spare a thought for his back breaking work
Say a prayer for his wife and his children
Who burn the fires and who still till the earth
And when I search a faceless crowd
A swirling mass of gray and
Black and white
They don’t look real to me
In fact, they look so strange
Raise your glass to the hard working people
Let’s drink to the uncounted heads
Let’s think of the wavering millions
Who need leading but get gamblers instead
Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter
Empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
And a parade of the gray suited grafters
A choice of cancer or polio
And when I look in the faceless crowd
A swirling mass of grays and
Black and white
They don’t look real to me
Or don’t they look so strange
Let’s drink to the hard working people
Let’s think of the lowly of birth
Spare a thought for the rag taggy people
Let’s drink to the salt of the earth
Let’s drink to the hard working people
Let’s drink to the salt of the earth
Let’s drink to the two thousand million
Let’s think of the humble of birth

Thanks CT! – Your reports and Bob’s just now keep reinforcing this motif of a paradigm changing election season. Pretty exciting.

Threw it all away.

Excellent report! Thank you.

I guess I will have to wait until Wednesday afternoon to hear the talking heads pontificate about the HI results. (I don’t watch morning TV).

That is probably just as well. May give them a little perspective on it.

I am so loving the huge turnout in all the Dem primaries so far. We are kicking R tushkie just with our turnout. They have got to be pucked up at the high number of D voters.

I do not think they were aware of just how mad as hell Americans are.

HA! Thanks for that.

“Heh, the Hilo boyz made us do the party business before they handed out the ballots, Bob! But, everything ya mentioned occurred here too… *sigh* I’m the new Precinct Treasurer…!”

Heh. Congrats, CTuttle!

But I’m saying there is something in it for him. He didn’t just throw it all away for nothing. I want to know what. A piece of Paraguay in a Jonestown like setting? Is this a cult? Something is just too weird.

Sigh, sadly yer spot on, there’s always riches and power and control in it for them all.

But we fight on, an we have more now to fight with, and for, since our GREAT SCREWAGE of ‘06 when our own let us down and proved, they are NOT governing for our best insterests.

There IS a tide, perhaps, just perhaps, we can believe enough to think, it’s turning.

I’m still bitter about Nixon’s election, then of course, Reagan’s.

And we’re not going to take it anymore.

I see that CNN is finally calling it for Obama…!

Suz, until this election, I didn’t realize how mad Americans were. We have been for years, but I guess now the whole country is. Lookie! The rest of the world is noticing too!

NYTimes still has him as ‘leader’ and not called it yet

And have Suzeanne Malvoux (sp?) on deck for an update from Hawaii – but am still confused whether it will be live or tape.

Hey! Looks like there was some shenanigans in NY City. Whole precincts and districts (including several in Harlem) that had NO…NONE…NADA…ZIP…Obama votes. Yet loads for Hillary!

This will hit the newtands tomorrow! Could be a backbreaker for the Clinton campaign if it brings doubt on the scale of her NY win or puts delegates in dispute.

Obama Robbed In NY

loohoo, do a hard refresh

Hard refresh, Loo Hoo. It is there.

Yeah – the raw turnout has been one of the nicest things to see so far, in virtually every state (if not literally every state?), especially in the “red” and swing states; Dems have just dominated. Clinton alone tonight garnered more votes than McCain and Huckles combined, and I loved seeing those numbers in Virginia last week. I even heard the Republican strategist on Larry King tonight finally concede as much – something like, “these overall numbers just don’t bode well at all for the Republicans come November.” He’s got that right.

You heard it here at the Lake first, NPB! *g*

OK, with 51 percent reporting and CNN calling it for Obama, I gues I am ready to go to bed (2:53 a.m. local time). OBAMA!!!

Having enjoyed a pleasant late late nite with you all, I wish you good nite.

Aloha, Larue!

This was reported yesterday. I was surprised it didn’t get press.

I’m here on Maui and on my way in to vote I overheard someone say that there were only about 50 people vote the last time around and tonight they must have had at least 700.

Aloha, Neuro!

Got it. Thanks, and Suz too.

g’nite neuro

Heh, we didn’t just break the caucus records, we shattered them…! Ain’t it cool! ;-)

God Bless America!

Sweet dreams neurophius & Larue too!

And great balls of fire CT – tres cool!

martina has such a beautiful voice loohoo

To be fair, the story also says that some of the districts where Hilary got votes also had reported preliminary counts of zero. Wonder what’s up with this if the MSM isn’t noting it. The also haven’t really covered the discovery of about 100K votes of independents in Southern California not being counted. Given that Independents (judging from the exit polls) overwhelmingly voted for Obama and these districts often were close to splitting delegates in different ways this sort of stuff is simply uncalled for.

California Secretary of State is calling bullshit on the LA county decision not to count those votes. i’ll look for a link

Hi, gang…

Up again for Europe…

Ha! Four years after the revolution Marat is in the institution…Poor old Marat…and the poor get poor…

I played him once in high school in NYC…in a play by Peter Weiss…do you know that play?

You said it !!

Hawaii has spoken with authority tonight, Biodun, and Hill is on the short end of the stick!

i usually stay until my threads are over – or as long as the commenters are still commenting

Yes. Definitely needs to be fixed before November. I’m so scared that they are fixing things. But if they did, this time people would take to the streets. I’m so happy that Obama has the kids on track. They have just shined it on for the last few elections, and now they know it is about their future.

As far as the voting in NY, Obama wasn’t upset. He didn’t blame Hillary for the problem. Can’t find the article, it was on Huffpo for a couple of days.

DEBRA!!!

You’re such a super trooper…! However, ya might need a whole ‘nother thread…

Are you going to Europe?

here’s an LA times story about the bruhaha over the bubble in LA County and the 50,000 votes not counted

Nite pups, even this west coaster is tired now.

Great work CT and all from Hawaii…

I should go to bed too, but if anyone else still wants to play…

…and by god we are all still alive!!

loohoo, thanks for staying up with me tonight :) was nice and reminded me of old times

I saw that. People aren’t filling out the second bubble, and the county was not willing to spend the money to fix the ballot. Sheesh.

It was good fun. I usually stay up late on vacation times and summer, but I don’t know why I’m still awake tonight. Just excited about getting our country back, I guess. Obama is magic.

I’ve got some late nite errands to take care of, and, Obama has clinched already… So I’ll bid a fond adieu to ya’ll! Aloha Oe!!!

I know it…what are they (the Clintons) gonna do now?

it has been fun, loohoo. primaries in other states usually are not ‘fun’ to most folks. hehehe guess its official – i’m a political junkie now

I’m here for you, Suzanne…*g*

Good grief! LA county election officials need to be canned – very serious stuff monkeying around with faulty ballots and refusing to to clean it up? Are they pleading they don’t have money and/or staff to clean this up?

I’m still here also Suz. Hi Biodun. How is life in my old hometown?

dayam, biodun, i figured you were here looking for attaturk’s post and woke up early or something (laughing)

The Marques de Sade…bein sur.
A play about the french revolution which was based on the American revolution, Some good music to boot. I had just dropped out in 1968..tuned out too. Baba Ram Das style. My lady and I drove to Puerto Vallarta making stop in SF and LA. Wonderful times when concsiencness counted most..still does in my life.
The Marquis de Sade The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis De Sade (or …

Interesting that the asylum inmates are the players and I draw a paralell to them and the BUSHCO mashine and the horrors (not imagined) they have created.

Already been for two days…to Kosovo…Am back in Minneapolis…heading out to LA in a few days. Hey wait a minute, don’t you live in LA?

*retracting words that indicated i felt i was here alone*

nice headline in the news box about obama’s wins…

You’ve been IN Kosovo the last couple days?

When you were talking about the independence declaration, I thought it was cause you found it interesting… …not because you were THERE!

And here in Minneapolis, because of the hazards of living in multiple time-zones, my dinner might be blending into my breakfast…but I’m resolved to sleep until Noon CT…It’s too cold outside also in Minneapolis…-40 F wind chill…

Don’t count out the lurkers!!

Goodnight, CT!

LOL!!

You’re not now…

what the hell was that song about never walkiing alone… iirc, it was played at my high school graduation

Those too…

The news cycle in the US will be dominated by Obama in the next few hours…If I were Attaturk I’d write my next post about him…he’ll get a lot of hits…

North SD County. We could get together, maybe. What does your schedule look like? I’m gone Saturday Day. Finishing up on some dental work in Tijuana.

Suzanne will never be alone, ‘coz Bio will always be there to keep her company and protect her…(*g*)

Now I’m getting giddy…again, time-zone fever…

*best Lurch voice* You Rang?

I lived in Bemidji as a kid. I remember those -40 days. NEVER again!

don’t let The Lurking Mod hear ya – he does the lurch around here (laughing) that was really good

I’ll be meeting Demi for the first time…We’ve gotten close in cyberspace in the last few months or so… She kept me informed of your situation during the fires…that’s how I remembered that you live there. You also were born in MN…you sent me a message once about that. I have a very good memory, no?

Hey! Here’s Darkblack.

Suzanne learned how to take care of herself by having the fastest reload time in her police academy – and has outshot her (soon to be) x husband at the police range. some lessons stay with ya forever

Jane Frooman…a movie with Susan Hayward Susan Hayward as Jane Froman ‘With a Song in my Heart’ You’ll nevr walk alone.
That was 1952 and a very emotional dramtic film. Susan was compelling.

Yes, you do. Keep me posted about meeting with Demi. Maybe I can tag along.

The Marques de Sade…bein sur.

bien sur…

sorry, can’t help this editor…*g*

Just caught up with you all and it seemed the appropriate voice, will not play the lurking mod’s side of the street in future ;-)

Good for you!

YES! that is it. thank you big brother

Feel free to let your Lurch flag fly, Arnie.

(laughing) he could use some competition every now and then… i’m just saying…

Oh, come on. Do it!

nite suzanne

Good night, Suz.

As soon as I posted I saw that my dyslexia transposed ei…however the point is the play and the sad story a sadistic play like the bush policy of premptive strike, occupation and destruction.
Independence for Kosovo…do they have a constitution?

Bob, thank you SO much for the on-the-site report.

We move to Maui on May 20, and I can’t wait to register as a Hawaii voter!!

Thanks again.
