So, Julia!

julia!

hi Julia

Aloha, Julia!

Hey Julia!!!

hi, hi, hi, hi! (is everyone still speaking to me after that?)

yeeks, refresh hell.

hi!

Mrs. McCain said that when she heard about McCain’s supposed affair, she said, “I love you, I know it’s not true”…and he said the same thing….say wha?????

julia!

I’m still rocking to the unreal and somehow appropriate dentist song. now spit!

Well, she has to expect a certain amount of resentment if she’s going to persist in being too rich to leave for a younger model.

I can’t bring myself to click any of these links until I have at least two more glasses of wine

here, wobbly, start with this

Co-McCain Girls has a funny ring to it. They are kind of snooty.

thanks - it just cracks me up every time.

Mwahahahahaha

Behold! Lo, ’tis Friday, and Julia is the first of the Late Night.

We are blessed.

And McCain said unto the not-men he deemed of lower caste:

Why doth thou qweef from thine upper orifice? Such amniotic belches shall be removed from serious discourse. Begone with such overwrought make-up you trollop and c#nt!

LOL

Wow, mcCain girl is mad, huh? Well of course if what people said truly didn’t matter (as she so emphatically states) then she would not have made this lil video, right?

Besides my only complaint about the song has never been that it is about mccain or even dedicated to McCain, it’s more so that they sound like two pigs rubbing against one another (talk about tone deaf)

Howard Dean sounded off inThe Hill…

“He has damaged his own brand dramatically since 2000,” Dean said. “Many of his wounds are self-inflicted.”

Dean has focused much of his criticism on McCain’s assertion that he would not be opposed to an American presence in Iraq for the next 100 years. “When you mention 100 years and Iraq in the same sentence [to focus groups], it doesn’t matter what John McCain’s qualifying statements are, it just killed him. It just killed him,” Dean said on Thursday.

I have leftovers. Anyone hungry?

Teehee I love it. Much better than that cackling that the McCain girls are doing

This is sad. I feel sorry for these women.

Let’s do dive into the issues, gals.
What is it with the stars and planets. Very cosmoesque.

don’t forget to check in on the patient. Comfy?

Repeat after me:

Trains having sex.

Dang Betsy, do you have any idea how long it has been since I have had a home cooked meal–besides my own cooking?

I heard that…reminds me of monks with those whips and everything…self-punishment or whatever they call it…..

Yes, but apparently in republican circles, that makes him really nacho.

It’s kind of hard to believe Steve Martin is painfully shy and quiet when watching that dentist bit.

nite all.

you’d better call next time you’re in central texas then!

Self-flagellation…? ;-)

Bwaaahahahhahahahhaah

I guess it is appropo given McCain’s campaign.

So, what do we make of the latest putative Obama “gaffe”?

Aloha, dosido!

self flagulation. like in da vinci code.

wow, what topics! see youse guys

covered in cheese? ;)

I heard a real shitty copy of it on the radio. What did he actually say. Someone please post an actual copy of the transcription.

So, what do we make of the latest putative Obama “gaffe”?

Is there a reason I should care?

Tex Betsy and Oilfieldguy, it would be so cool if you two meet up. Jenny bar the door!

Totally cheesy!

Al da Spook is coming to my birthday dinner! Gnome too!

And I say unto thee, aww.

LMAO I watched the Mccain again video….

Is it McCaining with you? Where the hell is my tranquilizer gun, they need to take a lil nap (till October)

Yes. I couldn’t figure out the spelling…I came up with self-flatulation…didn’t sound right…*G*

OMG…How is he??? I miss him!! Alfred…

Funny, funny!
You never did us nothing, man. Except for writing teh funny, that you do real good. Thanks.
(How to describe this for Digg? I gave up. Someone please submit it. It deserves a good description.)

i read it in context and I don’t make anything of it because it is not a big deal when compared to the war criminal who holds top office in this country has just admitted to criminal wrong doing.

woohoo - when is it?

I came up with self-flatulation…didn’t sound right…*G*

Pretty much the same idea, isn’t it?

Pretty much…

I’ll second, or third that notion… He’s been awful quiet on his blog swarm, too!

I love that word, flagellation. It sounds like someone has an unhealthy relationship with their patriotic lapel pin.

OFG stand up to make an ANNOUNCEMENT:

I’m buying a round of drinks for the house! Except all those pups sitting down. (heh)

My daughter lives in Vegas (ask Bobby G) and tonight they had the Miss America pageant. For the last four years I have picked the winner in the opening sequence, so I had my daughter put a thousand down on Texas and Mississippi to place and show. Heh.

Heh, it does involve piercing one’s skin…! ;-)

daniels neat. thanks ofg

sunday eve. 10 friends. chinese food.

alfred’s doing well. his dad been up and down a lot and he is super busy with his work.

Somebody should care:

I can’t operate chopstix. The holes in my forehead shows progress on forks.

Yeah. But over at ObamaIsTheDevil.com taylormarsh.com and Faux News, they’re spankin’ major “Oh, Boy, He’s Really Toast Now” chubbies over it.

woohoo, I’ll drink to that (I’ll need it to look at any more McCain girl videos)

But seriously, if he does win the election, at least he won’t have to search for the inauguration music

Of course they are, they have what can only be labeled a visceral hate for Obama. They are going to go after him on anything (as will the repugs). I’m sure Barry can handle it

I can’t wait for mr wobbs to come home so I can play that for him (McCain girls). I wonder of he could mix in the McCain girls and then someone saying STFU

Only problem is US law does not allow survivors to sue the Govt. like the Brits allow! Trust me, there’s plenty that could and should be litigated, but, that avenue is barred to Americans…

Yeah. But over at ObamaIsTheDevil.com taylormarsh.com and Faux News, they’re spankin’ major “Oh, Boy, He’s Really Toast Now” chubbies over it.

Okay, I’ll bite. What did Obama say that I’m supposed to be more offended by than Bush’s admission to approving torture?

I thought Hannity was gonna have an aneurism, he’s so pissed that his 24/7 Rev Wright obsession hasn’t had much legs. Now he’s got a new thingy to bandy about, probably with about yet again as much long term impact.

that poor people in PA are bitter, edp

I remember when Taylor Marsh was a frequent contributor to this blog. Credit the political savvy of Jane and Christy for stayin agnostic during the primary. Blogs are a good tool for capturing a following. When you start dividing it, you only tend to hurt yourself.

I think this is what everyone’s talking about

TRANSCRIPT:

OBAMA: So, it depends on where you are, but I think it’s fair to say that the places where we are going to have to do the most work are the places where people feel most cynical about government. The people are mis-appre…I think they’re misunderstanding why the demographics in our, in this contest have broken out as they are. Because everybody just ascribes it to ‘white working-class don’t wanna work — don’t wanna vote for the black guy.’ That’s…there were intimations of that in an article in the Sunday New York Times today - kind of implies that it’s sort of a race thing.

Here’s how it is: in a lot of these communities in big industrial states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, people have been beaten down so long, and they feel so betrayed by government, and when they hear a pitch that is premised on not being cynical about government, then a part of them just doesn’t buy it. And when it’s delivered by — it’s true that when it’s delivered by a 46-year-old black man named Barack Obama (laugher), then that adds another layer of skepticism (laughter).

But — so the questions you’re most likely to get about me, ‘Well, what is this guy going to do for me? What’s the concrete thing?’ What they wanna hear is — so, we’ll give you talking points about what we’re proposing — close tax loopholes, roll back, you know, the tax cuts for the top 1 percent. Obama’s gonna give tax breaks to middle-class folks and we’re gonna provide health care for every American. So we’ll go down a series of talking points.

But the truth is, is that, our challenge is to get people persuaded that we can make progress when there’s not evidence of that in their daily lives. You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

Um, now these are in some communities, you know. I think what you’ll find is, is that people of every background — there are gonna be a mix of people, you can go in the toughest neighborhoods, you know working-class lunch-pail folks, you’ll find Obama enthusiasts. And you can go into places where you think I’d be very strong and people will just be skeptical. The important thing is that you show up and you’re doing what you’re doing.

Evening all!

Julia, so funny, thanks I really needed a laugh.

OFG, good picks, though it’s never a bad idea to bet on a Miss Mississippi or Miss Texas in a beauty pageant. They’ve got a good winning track record.

Sounds like a blatant grasp of the obvious to me.

that poor people in PA are bitter, edp

So? I hope that’s true. The poor in this country damned well should be bitter after eight years of Bush kicking them in the teeth.

Miss Hawaii, too…! Aloha, MM!

Bush promised to rebuild Lebanon in a national speech, hows that going?

My daughter did really well with these

Just great - they now have a McDonald’s and 2 Starbucks. /s

Well that settles it then.

Seeing this post in it’s full youtubed glory is more important than work. Found someone to cover my shift.

I’m going home to watch the McCain musical extravaganza!

I was more put off by Eltn john saying that those that didn’t vote for Hilary are misogynist

OK, musical extravaganza may be a stretch.

Aww, that’s cheating! 8-P

I’m in PA. Seems more like The Vinegar Tasters.

I taste vinegar like buddha.

Sheik bin al BaraBlackHusseinMadrassaOsamaBama pushes back quick & hard:

TERRE HAUTE, Indiana (CNN) –- Barack Obama was forced Friday to defend comments he made at a recent fundraiser where he described some Pennsylvanians as “bitter.”

Obama came under fire from Hillary Clinton and John McCain for his remarks just weeks before the Pennsylvania primary.

“When I go around and I talk to people, there is frustration, and there is anger, and there is bitterness,” Obama began. “I want to make a point here.”

“[Pennsylvanians are] frustrated and for good reason, because for the last 25 years they’ve seen jobs shipped overseas, they’ve seen their economies collapse. They have lost their jobs, they’ve lost their pensions. They’ve lost their health care.”

Obama then said that politicians from both sides of the aisle have promised answers but that “nothing ever happens.”

“So…they don’t vote on economic because they don’t expect anybody’s going to help them,” Obama said, adding that they end up voting on issues that include gun rights, gay marriage, and faith.

He then directly hit Clinton and McCain, mocking their earlier attacks.

“Here’s what’s rich,” Obama said. “Sen. Clinton says, ‘Well I don’t think people are bitter in Pennsylvania. I think Barack’s being condescending.’ John McCain says, ‘Oh, how could he say that? How could he say people are bitter? He’s obviously out of touch with people. ‘”

“Out of touch?” Obama said. “I mean, John McCain, it took him three tries to finally figure out that the home foreclosure crisis was a problem and to come up with a plan for it, and he’s saying I’m out of touch?”

“Sen. Clinton voted for a credit card sponsored bankruptcy bill that made it harder for people to get out of debt after taking money from the financial services companies, and she says I’m out of touch?”

He concluded his argument by telling the audience that it is, in fact, the opposite.

“No. I’m in touch. I know exactly what’s going on. I know what’s going on in Pennsylvania, I know what’s going on in Indiana, [and] I know what’s going on in Illinois. People are fed up.”…

Jeez, did you see Miss Oklahoma? She made it into the top five, but I want to know who picked that horrible rag she wore for an evening gown. It made her ass look like it belonged to a forty dollar cow.

The Lebanese are grateful for his distraction I’m sure.

Umm its an extravaganza alright

Ding.

show doesn’t even start here for another 15 minutes

Well, I was a divorced kid in Manhattan, which in terms of learning to eat chinese food is a major form of cheating.

Wups, sorry!

Thanks for responding, at least. Not necessarily sue gov’t. So be it. But DO SOMETHING! Code Pink is looking like the only responsible human beings in the whole country!

What’s being done by this administration and their enablers is criminal, immoral, inhuman, inhumane, evil, WRONG. DEAD WRONG! literally.

“We have met the enemy and he is us” if we let this stand unchallenged.

please forgive rant. it hurts almost as much as putting a fist thru the wall, but not quite…

enjoy your evening guys. i’ll try to act sane tomorrow. no promises.

And, LOL, according to Jay Leno, Elton followed up that misogyny taunt by singing “The Bitch Is Back.”

Good for Obama. People need to get bitter. And then they need to get out and vote their self-interest.

“forty dollar cow”

wuz she mad?

dugg

The stylists who dressed these girls obviously went shopping at Prom Dresses For You-1998. Too many sequins, fake tans, fake boobs, fake hair and fake teeth. But it’s owned by Donald Trump, so classy it was not gonna be. Fake fur coats with swimsuits? okaaayyy….

I’m outa here. The Petersons are back in town, gonna go hear some music.

Let it out, Adie! No probs here at the Lake! I agree 100% with ya too…!

Hully gee whiz, that’s a bad dress.

Definitely worthy of Go Fug Yourself

jezebel live-blogged it, FUNNY!

OT, but I gotta say:

Bill Maher, you misogynistic SOB, you suck.

His rant tonight culminating in saying the high school girl who got beaten to unconsiousness by a bunch of punk mean girls “probably had it coming” was beyond the pale.

We turned the show off immediately, both Mr. S. and I stunned and appalled at the viciousness he demonstrated.

One hopes any of his guests will say something, but we won’t be there to watch.

I posted the same links recently on my own blog, but wasn’t nearly as funny. I tried to read this out loud to my husband and couldn’t get through it without laughing.

I thought I was lost on the “oscars” thread. I’ll have a Double Beam, neat. Thanks.

Link, I say. Link!

Yeah, I was really put off by the overgeneralization. As my brit hubby would say, what a wanker.

have fun

Aah, I’m time-zone challenged, so I have to wait a couple more hours for it… Not like I’m gonna watch it, tho…

Heh. I am a master at the soft-sell and absolutely love to see a big ol’ slow pitch coming right down the middle like this. If Hillary and McCain want to join forces on the attack on this, it is way to easy to step between them and those who are slightly irritated.

“Perhaps there are those who agree with our competitors, that regular folks should be meekly and timidly satisfied with the crumbs that fall from the plates of corporations and their lobbyists who advise and sponsor the status quo…”

You get the drift.

CTuttle. You’re sweet. No probs at the Lake indeed. It’s the best thing going, bar none.

Thanks for putting up with the generalized rant. Couldn’t hold back if I wanted. Not aimed at the Lake dwellers for sure. You guys save my sorry hide on a daily basis. Just chalk me up as flaky grump with cause, if you please. ;->

Here you go, over 500 comments but well worth a perusal.
