yoo hoo

Eli!

Hiya!

Eli, Aloha!

Suzanne!

Aloha, CTut!

Leisure Guy!

Eli!! Great catch!!

OMG..he is clearly confus-ed now.

Father Bong used to tell me: “If I knew now, half of what I thought I knew then, I would know twice as much as you think I know now”.

;~P

Can McSame POSSIBLY be dumber than Chimpy?

So true.

Clint Eastwood asked me out once.

its a tough job but he seems determined to do it, tex

I hope someone is indexing and cataloging all these McCain “gaffes” being presented to us for use in the general election.

It would be a pity if they weren’t put to good use.

I mentioned this in the thread below, but it’s on topic here! :) Dan Abrams on his show on MSNBC is introducing a new segment called “Teflon John” about how the press treats McCain with kid gloves. Tonight will be about Mccain’s gaffe yesterday.

Didn’t someone once palaver about known knows, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns?

John McBu’ush to you, Sir.

McCant, reminds me more of Charles Bronson, Kill’em all, and let God sort’em out…!

It was in my inbox, and I was just too tickled by it.

I could not agree more. McSame, thanks Paul Rosenberg for that moniker, I a power-mad nutball who is absolutely convinced that it’s……

HIS TURN GOTDAMN IT! I’VE WAITED AND WAITED AND NOW IT’S MY TURN.

The Greeks had a word for it, don’t they always, and the word is hubris.

But….

McSame ain’t the only one who’s got a bad case of egomania. There’s this little group called the ‘Committee of Three’ here in the Blogosphere who need to come down to earth for a while.

Yo! Selise…..this that post you were asking for.

Warning if your a big fan of certain A-Listers and just stay home. My post will not make you happy.

Yeah, the folks you think you know best can sometimes be the biggest disappointments.

Tell all.

actually, i think McCain is dumb and thinks he’s smart, that Bush is smart, but chooses to be dumb because dumb gives him an excuse to fail … but i’m not a psychologist, so it’s just based on this gut thing

LOL! perfect

John McCain may be an idiot, but he’s their designated idiot. And they have proven themselves capable of installing an idiot in the Oval once before.

Gotta wonder if his conflation tryout is to get some Cheney love.

An excellent catch, indeed, Eli! Guy hasn’t got a prayer.

I’m just finishing up a post at my place about how it’s not so much the media trying to cover for McCain, so much as that they tend to minimize anything that conflicts with their narrative (McCain/Republicans strong on foreign policy, Democrats weak), and emphasize anything that reinforces it.

ding!

But, what he knew then was unknowable then, but what he knows now should be knowable, but it isn’t, because it is quite simply, unknowable, because now was then now…which is unknowable, but if you know something now, you are really talking about then, which is now, now.

Rummy said something like that….I forget what it was exactly….I should have asked him then about now.

Can McSame POSSIBLY be dumber than Chimpy?

Yes.

Truly I am beginning to think this is so. Think the problem might be that Lieberman is his minder?

That’s what I said.

;~)

I have a headache :)

I was the cocktail waitress in Chico, CA (75ish). He was doing a movie in the area, and a huge group came in. It was the best tip night of my waitressing career. He asked me up (I shouldn’t have said out) to his room after work.

Alas, I said no.

I knew you would understand….*G*

I almost used it as an intro quote.

The Unknown
As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don’t know
We don’t know.

You were a 75ish cocktail waitress???

Ahhh.h.h.. Rummie: The known knowns, the known unknowns, and the unknown unknowns…

Honorary PhD from The Densa Society.

Play Misty?

Written that way, it appears…written.

Hooray!

Rummy’s just so Zen.

He must have been smokin’ pot, that’s all there is to it…or LSD.

Alas! You could have kept the blue dress!

How big were the tips?

My son, while working as a bartendeer at a huge party Irecord release or something like that) got a $100 tip from some big-name rapper, whose name I’ve forgotten. (I’m a popular culture moron.)

Yes, and Clint was about 50…the perv.

I flew on an airplane with Morley Safer!

Aw…come on…he was hot…

You know, I just don’t know about that.

I would suggest “Pop Culture Challenged”

;~P

My sister’s been hit on by Kevin Costner and Stephen Baldwin… that I know of.

And my best friend’s wife used to date Mike Eruzione of Hockey Miracle fame.

that’d been ’bout forty years ago?

*ducks*

I don’t even know. It was shot in the Oroville area, iirc.

I got an email from Jane Hamsher!

No.

This has been another edition of simple answers to simple questions.

Dang.

I;ve flown on airplanes with Warren Christopher, Paul Volcker, and Robert Reich. Do I need to get a life when these are the kind of people I recognize in public places?

Ooh. Cafferty hit McCain on this today:

http://thinkprogress.org/2008/…..p-is-that/

At least we got some coverage, however small.

Of those three, Mike is the cutest. IMO

You don’t know how bad I am. Moron is perhaps a generous description.

I flew on an airplane with Morley Safer!

I gave Morley Safer a nickel at Dulles one time so he could call a hotel and get a room for the night since a lot of flights were being canceled due to weather on a Friday afternoon. Instead of getting out at 4:30 Friday afternoon, my flight finally left for Syracuse at midnight.

hell yeah, you sound like a stodgy old academe like me!

Smokin’ LSD doesn’t work. Trust me.

Seems like I got $250 from that party alone that night. It was huge in those days, considering I was paying $35. rent on the guest house I lived in. $350 that night. It was huge. Clint picked up the tab for everyone. That’s when he asked me “up”.

A really nice Aussie hooker gave me cab fare when I was on R&R the day after we landed on the moon! If I hadn’t gotten back to the center on time I would have gone to LBJ!

I spent about an hour and a half in a hotel room with B-1 Bob Dornan and Hendrick Hertzberg.

-G

I got offered to do a three way with Peter Alan and one of his boys in the early 80’s. I said no.

Oddjob/Professor Toru Tanaka.

I think that’s actually the only even remotely famous person I’ve ever been on a plane with. I did see Terence Stamp at the airport once, and a woman who looked just like Theresa Russell but wasn’t…

That sounds bad on so many levels.

Indeedy. I could have gone up for some conversation, for gawd’s sake. As WC Fields says, youth is wasted on the young.

Heh, heh, heh. I surely wouldn’t know.

What’s the frequency Bob?

Just a half hour? That’s pretty quick for a three-way! :-)

Yesh, $350 would be huge for 1975. My son’s $100 tip came around 2005.

Watch it. Clint’s 33 years older too. Where is that rascal?

Kenneth

You & the Aussie hooker had landed on the moon the day before she gave you taxi fare? Far out!

I didn’t meet Chrissie Hynde in LA 20 years ago, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express…

Was your sister stupid too?

I gave Morley Safer a nickel at Dulles one time so he could call a hotel and get a room for the night…

Wow. Just five cents covered the cost of a phone call AND a hotel room! :)

… snuggling with some 30 year old, telling her about that waitress who missed her chance back in ‘75 … *g*

I fly from NYC airports so it raises the probability of seeing some public figure.

Ooh. Cafferty hit McCain on this today:

At least someone at CNN isn’t carryin’ water.
Have you noticed that Campbell Brown chick cuts people off, spouts WH talking points and generally acts like she’s on Pox nooz?
Can’t say I’m surprised though.

Ah, to be 19 and headed back to the Nam, that will do a lot for your sense of urgency!

… tee hee hee …

what’s the name of that stooge she’s married to and isn’t he a rethug – or am i getting my media/political marriages confused again.

That’s where I saw Stamp and the Theresa Russel lookalike. I can’t remember where I was flying when I saw Oddjob.

I had a camcorder too.

I was doing a thing for MTV about the NH primary and ended up hanging around with Dornan and Hertzberg and went back to Dornan’s room at the Sheraton in Bedford(The one HST talks about in Fear and Loathing)…and listened to Hertzberg question Dornan as Dornan raved on in his lunacy.

-G

This is one funny ass thread, wish I wasn’t sleepy!

What a coincidence, my brother was hit on by Kevin Costner and Stephen Baldwin … *g*

Well, Costner was married at the time and she said he was kinda sleazy. And that Baldwin was *really* sleazy. This was way before his born-again/cheesy-sci-fi-movies days.

Good Lord! Eli. how on Earth did you dig THIS up! How awesome that you did. yeah, there was a time I liked McWrong, my own self. Sad to see what he’s become! and I don’t know how that happens to a human. makes it kinda scarey too.

Spew!!!

apparat – chick

She’s the wife of former CPA stooge Dan Senor.

-G

I don’t know, but someone representing Democrats did mention that her hubby worked in someones White House. I’ll bet my dwindling 401K that its a repiglican.

‘ere! This’ll keep ya going a while…

media MSM/political Bushco marriages confused again

Hey, I met Wilt Chamberlin too! (He didn’t ask me out, but it was disco time, and he was among the first to do big time bling.) Met him working at the Jabber Wockey in Hotel Circle in San Diego.

My son (the wingnut, so this is appropriate) had his picture taken with Rudy, when his car stopped in the neighborhood & he got out to buy a sanwich or something as my son was passing. Camera cell phones can come in handy.

Actually, Cafferty was on MSNBC and Abram’s Teflon John segment…!

Really, it was e-mailed to me. I didn’t do anything other than recognize that it was hilarious.

Some weird kinda orgy.

As if…

Loo Hoo
I think you made the right choice.
And, I think they are mostly all sleazy.
No respect. They see everyone as tools.
You are No Tool, dear.

Well, here’s to your sense of humor and knowing what’s important! LOL!

thanks for fixing that mary mcc

yea, the kind where the citizens take it in the a**.

You’re telling me … I never knew there were Taxis on the Moon … *g*

Oh, well. I stand corrected. The 45 minutes I was watching was all “Obama’s Pastor Problem” and how the Democrats are screwed because we can’t pick a nominee.

I hereby dub John McCain: McTool

So it shall be.

And it is McInsane that he doesn’t know what he clearly used to know, and when Lieberliar told him it was “extremist terrorists”…he said “extremists”…he left off “terrorists”…Geez, isn’t that the operative word for these folks…??? D’oh!

Ummm. This is CNN.

This all makes me realize how remote from important people my life has been. *sigh* Does it count that in New York, once, someone thought they recognized me but realized that they were wrong? Before I could figure out who they thought I was? So I don’t even know who the presumably famous person might be whom I might look like. Have looked like.

I went out dancing with a Denver Broncos player by the name of Riley Odoms (Or maybe he was from Houston Oilers & they were playing in Denver.) That was also in 1975, and we made eye contact at a restaurant in Denver where we were both eating solo. He’s the only person who answered the Q: How tall are you, in a funny way. He said 6′4-1/4″ (and that didn’t include the afro). I guess that extra quater inch counts in pro-ball. BTW, I’m 5′3″ so we made quite a pair. It was the night before the first pre-season game, he had a curfew and I can remember a speeding car.

Diddle, dawdle…

Can we find video of McCain saying that on Larry King??? The similar statement by Cheney has been used to great effect.

Ahh, I was talking about Gen. Barry Cafferty… and his takedown of McCan’t…! ;-)

I’m of the mind that probably, they are patriots. They want their country back too!

Father Bong also once told me: “Once I thought I was wrong… I was mistaken”.

I sometimes get told I look like Hillary Clinton. *ducking*

You’re right. He just wanted to play.

He was a Bronco. I lived in Denver back then.

I once went out with a whole bunch of people that I later realized I never should have gone out with.

Tell your son to watch out for those big-time rappers on the down-low who tip well.

Anderson Cooper is interviewing Barack Again. He’s on now. CNN

John McCain supports torture by the United States of America.

are you still in DenCo, eCAHN?

OK. Then he subsequently went to play for Houston. He was a “tight end.” Always got a kick out of that.

I have been compared to Jan-Michael Vincent, Leonard Nimoy, the creepy Nazi guy in Raiders Of The Lost Ark, *both* Blues Brothers, and, IIRC, E.T.

Good thing my photo’s on the post, or y’all would go nuts trying to picture that.

No. Was there on a business trip.

Well, Hill’s pretty good looking, and she knows how to fill out a pant suit!

Oy.

I always wanted to have an incredibly dysfunctional relationship with someone named Lorraine, just so that when we broke up I could say, “I can see clearly now Lorraine is gone.”

Hasn’t happened for a couple of years. She’s had much more cosmetic work than I have.

That could work with Maureen, too.

not so sweet lorraine

Father Bong told me I have a voice for radio… and a face for the same.

Funny! I went to high school with Bill Walton, and always “danced” the slow dances with him whenever he asked me to dance. I’m 5′3″ too. Quite a pair.

Will do. *g*

Don’t be modest, you’re a doll!

Um … did y’all go in one car ? *g*

Yep, but you still have a fun story.

Perhaps it was when they tried to set records for how many people could stuff themselves into VWs.

My dad peed next to Alan King once, at the Ed Sullivan theatre.

HA!!!

Are you trying to get me into trouble?

Loo Hoo, Raven, et al… I gazed into the baby blues of Paul Newman at a campaign party for Gene McCarthy in Indianapolis back in the day Pleistoscene.

Of, I forgot my favorite famous person plane ride. Sat next to Senator D’Amato for a full hour on the shuttle from DC to NYC. Despite his reputation, he was quite knowledgeable and it was one of the most interesting conversations I’ve ever had. How often do you get to talk one-on-one for an hour with a U.S. senator?

Cram In The Clowns.

That was pretty clearly put out there by Winter Soldier. AQ in Iraq doesn’t seem to be “OBL” AQ. It is the “resistance” to occupation, such as the resistance to the occupation of the Nazis…McClame’s gaffe (RNC talking point) confirms this…that anyone who opposes Bushco is deemed “AQ” by the “Decider” (W)…so what does that tell you….

AQ is a designation by our Prezdeinent…it can be anyone…Sunni or Shia doesn’t matter…anyone “he” deems as a terrorist, and, as Cheenee stated in his upcoming interview, the opinion of the people doesn’t matter…and, it is a sacrifice that the American people are making…sacrificing our right to decide to his..to allow them to make the effort to produce the outcome of their “enterprise”. That is the sacrifice. Not lives…it is our “effort” to implement their “enterprise”.

Didn’t we all mary? I remember sitting on the console of my boyfriend’s car steering the thing, and telling the driver (not my boyfriend) when to step on the brake, and how hard to step on the brake. Before mandatory seatbelts. Can’t believe I’m alive.

McClown

That is huge.

The goal is to defeat Mr. McCain this fall. But my husband and I think it much more important to defeat what this man stands for. My mate and I will continue the struggle to make this country and Oklahoma the bluest of blue. We wish all of you good luck in this fight. It will be a neverending battle. But in the end we know the people will win.

Lahoma

McMoron.

Teddy! Do you have any proof of this claim? too funny.

McCopout.

You’re a good man, Eli. And a good man always quotes “Dirty Harry” movies.

… thar she blows … *g*

my ron paul grasshoppers can’t even leave me alone on spring break… my kingdom for bug spray

I once went to a wrap party for “Birdie” and meet Matthew Modine, Nick Cage, and Diane Keaton. The party was in Modesto of all places.

I once went to a funeral and Francis F. Copolla was there.

Not often at all. Or EVER in my case.

McClueless

I once asked this old bald guy if he was Ricky Mooney and could I have his autograph. He started laughing.
My mom was so proud.

Although one of my all-time favorite movie quotes is actually from Death Wish…

Why haven’t you found my dog? He’s vital to my income! He paints such marvelous pictures with his paws!

Ah, but do ya feel lucky?

When I worked summers during high school at a cancer research institute in Buffalo, we’d take the 100% (i.e., 200 proof) lab ethanol & fruit juice, drive to Crystal Beach on the Canadian side (RieszFischer will smile here), drink like soldiers & drive back polluted. Talk about being lucky to be alive.

ooooh, news to share, Obama will be keynote speaker for the North Dakota Democratic State Convention on April 4. Sen. Conrad was an early adopter.

I’m the tooth fairy.

I am Jesus. and the walrus.

Oh, I loved that book and movie — loved Matt and Nick. The book was way better, of course, it made me laugh until I was almost on the floor.

I was at the same reception as Princess Anne, does that count for famous encounters?

I am santa – it has been established that santa is r and i’m an r – therefore, i am santa

My son went to the funeral of a friend in LA. She had been a year behind him at high school in NY, and he was a freshman in college near LA. Her family had recently moved to NYC from LA, which is why the funeral took place where they had lived for a longer time & had more friends. She had died of a drug overdose. Monica Lewinsky sat a couple of pews in front of him and her father was one of the pall bearers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqOKvonLrH8

I was way too young to drink when I went to Crystal Beach. And I didn’t have a headache the next day. :-)

Obama admits his campaign has been a little shaken up.

I don’t know that I agree after his speech yesterday, but I haven’t seen his speech from today. Did he give one?

coo coo kachoo

For sure.

Santa can’t be an r – he gives things to people :)

You’re an “r”? You’re a Republican?

Back in the good old days when drinking and driving was fun.

-G

he knows who’s naughty and nice and keeps a list, checking it twice

Yep, about the Iraq war … I linked it earlier, going to get it …

Hey!
Where’s my effing X-Box?

We all showed up at work the next day. Don’t know how we did it.

Hey I worked at Warner Bros. during the 80’s and 90’s and lived Not to tell the tales….which I do have. But, not going there. It wouldn’t be fair.

yeap, one of them progressive ones

I was in Philly when they shot the movie. They shot the Vietnam scenes in Modesto. My friend, Armin Ganz, was the set decorator.

As long as you didn’t kill or be killed. Am so glad that has changed. It was nuts to do what we did.

So does Dick Cheney

Santa Suzanne. (Got presents?)

I knew a girl at Stanford who was dating Lawrence Welk’s grandson…

And I also took a Mildly Humorous Photograph of Janet Evans’ car (she’s the one who won 3 swimming gold medals in ‘88 as a teenager, and we were briefly in the same film class).

should not have lied to your mom about you know what newton.

Some republicans are nice.

There are things teen agers can do that we old fogies can’t.

This is the thread, if ever there were a thread, to tell all. Much more interesting than McCain’s lack of foreign policy knowledge. (No offense, Eli.)

Here ya go, Loo Hoo … Baraq on Iraq

even those get painted with the potty mouthed fundy rethug brush by some, mary.

my dad’s a republican, me and my daughters have an uncomfortable truce with him

yea but we can think. sort of.

I didn’t vote for Obama in the primary but I am sick of the MSM whores trying to tie this pastor crap around his neck when the likes of Hagee isn’t tied around Mcinsane’s neck. There are lots of important things going on in this country and pastorgate just isn’t one of them.

Oh, dude. Don’t tell me you’re this kid.

My father told the NH Dem. Party that my mother was too busy with the kids to be a personal host for Paul Newman in the 1972 primary.

Still a sore spot for mom.

-G

My dad ran for the state legislature (la) as a repug. Yikes!

I’m looking at it as an unexpected bonus.

Wow! Now that’s pretty cool. Being from southeast PA, both Mr. CE and I loved the book. It has been many years, but I remember the beach scene being particularly funny.

Lips are sealed.
Wouldn’t want to hijack the thread…..
ha ha ha.
You’ll just have to use your imagination.
Or not.
I will say it was a blast, tho.

Hans Blix chimes in on the anniversary… “A War of Utter Folly”

“The elimination of weapons of mass destruction was the declared main aim of the war. It is improbable that the governments of the alliance could have sold the war to their parliaments on any other grounds. That they believed in the weapons’ existence in the autumn of 2002 is understandable. Why had the Iraqis stopped UN inspectors during the 90s if they had nothing to hide? Responsibility for the war must rest, though, on what those launching it knew by March 2003.

By then, Unmovic inspectors had carried out some 700 inspections at 500 sites without finding prohibited weapons. The contract that George Bush held up before Congress to show that Iraq was purchasing uranium oxide was proved to be a forgery. The allied powers were on thin ice, but they preferred to replace question marks with exclamation marks.

They could not succeed in eliminating WMDs because they did not exist. Nor could they succeed in the declared aim to eliminate al-Qaida operators, because they were not in Iraq. They came later, attracted by the occupants. A third declared aim was to bring democracy to Iraq, hopefully becoming an example for the region. Let us hope for the future; but five years of occupation has clearly brought more anarchy than democracy.”

http://www.guardian.co.uk/comm…..0/iraq.usa

the deal is the depth of the connection …20 voluntary years of association vs an unsolicited nod in an election… McCain should say no tanks but he has to pander to the base in his mind, Obama cannot disengage himself from some one he considers a mentor …

She looks emaciated. Like completely GONE!

Never been punked like that. Wow.

The text of Obama’s Iraq speech is in this Dkos diary:

http://www.dailykos.com/storyo…..108/479934

utter folly … what a capricious understatement

Fabulous photo Eli! And I have a friend who can sing every damn Lawrence Welk song, and knows the names of all the dancers and singers.

Or an unintended outcome.

But not blowback. Or maybe it is and blowback can be positive. Never thought about it that way: blowback being something unexpectedly nice that happens to you as a consequence of being a solid citizen.

Thank you, buddy! I’ll watch it later. What are all those flags about? And did he have a flag on his lapel?

whoa

Ha. Now you’ve done it. I have quite a vivid imagination. *g*

Okay, one.
I worked for the producers of a show that had David Soul, Edward Albert Jr. and Cyblil Shephard on it. I won’t tell you which one sent me Yellow Roses the next day.

And Petrocelli, do you have info on the spelling of his name?

Baraq on Iraq

Or it could be some kind of obscure sexual technique…

Nice!

There were 11 Flags today, 3 more than yesterday … I wonder how many there will be at tomorrow’s speech … *g*

Hmmm…anyone of teh above?

And, how! This sentence stood out…

The allied powers were on thin ice, but they preferred to replace question marks with exclamation marks.

Not going there …

Agree. It needs to be important for both sides, or neither side.

8, 11, what’s the next number in that sequence? Correct answer will gain you admission to Harvard Law School.

It really was outrageous. My friend was once told by the chief of the neighboring town “You are better than most drunks, I don’t wanna see you on the road again tonight”.

-G

Cybil!!!!!

I get the difference in connection. Just kills me that these republican men and women act like they don’t discriminate against people who aren’t like them. Hypocritical just doesn’t do it justice.

I’m really sorry…I apologize ;>:

Yep, Blair traipsing across Europe with his “Dossier” is an image that sticks in my mind … he should be roundly booed everywhere he goes … British Intelligence had debunked most of the assertions contained in that Dossier…

yes, and around 4000 american grave stones, and how many of 100s of thousands of Iraqis?

Wow. War via a punctuation mark. Surely a low for the human race.

Oops, I forgot to add Sam Elliot.
Oh, and there were a string of episodes that featured Chuck Connors.
I turned down an invite to go horse back riding. But, that wasn’t the story I wasn’t telling.
He did send us all crates of pink grapefruits for xmas, tho.
He was nice. But, really old, and well, you know.

What is up with that dude?

Um … 5 ?

Heh heh … my granpappy is GHWB, so I get in anywise … *g*

well, we just juxtapose him talking about Farwell/robertson and his quote on intolerance with McSellout kissing Farwell’s fat butt…

13? for the original colonies? no one could question his patriotism with an homage to the original colonies

As we know, Kerry’s Military bona fides (ergo, his perceived Foreign Policy experience) were not just Swiftboated, but questioned vigorously by the punditocracy. The MSM pounded Kerry helping to make the clouds of doubt linger. Of particular note were the alleged shooting in the back of a young unarmed VC boy and the medal tossing.

Now McCain had the misfortune of becoming a POW. McCain (under duress) penned letters of praise on behalf of his North Vietnamese captors. Why does McCain’s wartime experience not raise similar questions regarding honor and patriotism? Why did we find it tolerable to accept the smear perpetrated by the media on Kerry? Did they turn up the heat slowly? Whatever it takes to take out McCain needs to be done.

Who Blair ? He’s earning million$ in some cushy job, pretending to be a “World Citizen” …

It was right before Moonlighting.
We had each just had babies.
Had a lot in common.
But, not that much.
She was really nice.

So you only gain admission to Harvard Business School. Law School not so much.

… if those nails could talk … *g*

*dead* that is hilarious

Ding! You get into Harvard Law School!

hey guys. i got logged in without having to bother a mod. i’m happy. so are they probably.

Ah’ll pay some poor geek to wryte my tests, get a C- and becum Preznut, just like my Unca Donald Dubya … *g*

Isn’t there some devil worship thing associated with the number 13 that they could drag out & use against Obama? Turning a strength (remembering the 13 original colonies) into a weakness in true Rovian fashion.

But your answer is good so you can report to Harvard Law School next September.

It was so long ago.
Really, they are just people too.
Fond memories though.
(The nails know all, but do not speak, or sing.)

Nah, i’m more of the humanities cloth. lifelong literature and languages slob *g*

During a recent PM’s Questions in Parliament, the Tory Leader asked Brown if Blair was running for the EU Presidency… I laughed my *ss off…! ;-)

That’s why my toobz slowed down so much…

They were touting him as the next UN Sec’y Gen too … Harper has more credibility than Blair in the ME … and that’s saying something …

i thought it was the NSA truck parked on em again – figured the nice feds who monitor us were hungry and dropping one of their subtle hints.

I had a bestest friend at the studio named Mary.
We were known as Double Trouble.
One time a pretty famous producer wanted us to come to his office for lunch. He said you bring the chips, I’ll bring the dip.
Total cringe.
(we laughed, but didn’t go.)

Why thank you
Let’s see, well it is regarded as an unlucky number so it could be said that the invoking of 13 is in fact bringing bad luck on amuricah. So he is in fact cursing, damning amuricah.

got it. thanks!

Asian markets not doing too good.

Kerry’s Military bona fides (ergo, his perceived Foreign Policy experience) were not just Swiftboated, but questioned vigorously by the punditocracy. The MSM pounded Kerry helping to make the clouds of doubt linger.

I’ve always thought this was a mistake-Kerry also could have mentioned his work that produced this:

Thanks for taking me down the memory lane.
Those were fun days.
Ta to all, for now.

i live near the french quarter in the upper ninth ward… it was built in the 1840s ….

He just smiled. i was so embarrassed. i gave the little blighter the muffin to keep him occupied. He crawled over on hands and knees, drew himself up, and seriously started mushing.

Thanks for sharing. Nighty night.

You too, hon.

i used to play golf with Muggsy Bogues….we were the same height”g”

oh sheesh, this is so sad, a local woman has had her christmas tree up five years, her son got killed in iraq in 2005, she vowed to keep it up until the war is over …

…really late late coming to the thread…

Hi Eli!!!

Way cool. Thanks. & NoLa pics heartbreaking.

I’m technically challenged & it’s late so I may not get my pics up tonight.

hi :-)

probably a good thing I missed all that…

Hi Biodun!!!

Selise, if you’re still around, you wouldn’t be banned here for supporting Hill, some probably would deride you, but, the mods would step in if people started slinging mud at you…! *g*

hey there! you on spring break?

i love historical houses, i’m excited to see it …
yeah, i keep my post katrina pix up there … folks need to NOT forget and they do… we’re still living it EVERY day … I saw Bill again over the weekend he was here in the hood … just empty lots and a few trailers now, not all that mess, he and Brad were down here for a college student spring break thing … a few folks keep us in the news, john was great… he and elizabeth were here all the time and they actually did work

hey there–

you’re one of my favorite FDL posters. Did I miss anything? Was napping…what’s an old guy gonna do?

yup, publishin so as not to perish

Anyone know how to add pics to flikr? I’ve only done it once, can’t remember how, and can’t figure out how from the site.

Wow, thanks! That’s actually kinda mindblowing…

eCAHN:

You have me on the list for FDL meetup in upstate NY in June? I’ll be there for sure…

I still don’t know why you academics can stand “fer” that…publish or perish. You’re an economist, IIRC?

No, I don’t seem to have your email. If you sent to me, I messed up. Please do so again rosannecahn at aol dot com.

yup

OK, incoming…

and it has to do with getting our universities accredited and our Carnegie ratings up

..then you and eCAHN have quite a bit to talk about…yes?

Figured it out. Here’s the house pics

were you down here for the meetings in january?

No, I wasn’t an academic economist. Worked on Wall St.

oh, she is so beautiful, what a colonial lady!

Thanks.

eCAHN, that is such a beautiful house!

i was at the Fed for awhile, i’ve gone back to teaching here in at the University of New Orleans … they have a difficult time getting US profs to teach in city universities.

not that much, I’m still feeling my oats here

eCahn, your presence has been requested on the next thread. Quebecois spelled your name “Echan” on comment 66.

Look at all those lovely ladies! Which one are you?

i don’t support senator clinton for president, though ( i really, really don’t like the clintons, and pretty sure i don’t like obama). until, of course, i look at mccain – he makes the two of them look better, much better.

but that wasn’t what i think i would get banned for. but since i’m not going to risk it, i guess it will have to remain a mystery. *g*

besides, i really have no desire to do anything here that would be destructive, even if banning weren’t a risk.

Now ya got me spinning, send me an email… tuttlehiloatmsndotcom… *g*
