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:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2…..litary.law

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.

Hillary and McCain are just whistling past the graveyard and Obama marches on. :)

aw, thanks.

s.o.s

Hillary and McCain are just whistling past the graveyard and Obama marches on. :)

Something about this carries the acrid odor of desperation, or maybe that’s just my nose.

Perhaps these McCan’t girlz could do “Land of Confusion” by Genesis next? St. Ronnie of the Immaculate Raygun makes an appearance in the video after all, and the title perfectly sums up his campaign:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBdUz_IJ4VA

Although, considering what CrazyTrain calls his wife in public, in front of journalists even, maybe they should call their version…”Land of C*ntfusion.” Just a thought…

Some of the replies to the McCain girls are downright cruel (no fair picking on physical appearances) but others are really hilarious.

*spew*

A small tweak:

The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.

We had a mutiny at work this week. Major shit.

One dog barks at nothing

ten thousand others pass it on

price of diesel?

For Dr. KM,
Reporting more Monsanto evil this month in Vanity Fair.

I just really want to sit in front of Hillary and McCain, look them both straight in the eye and ask:

People are losing their mfing homes, folks can’t afford to heat their homes, food prices, oil prices are spiraling out of control, the whole fucking federal gov’t has been corrupted with criminals that have victimized the very people you want to lead and your flapping off at the jaw about the ‘bitter folks’
Are you fucking kidding me?

ding!

You go!

LMAO
I mailed the McCain girls, Here comes McCain again, and she told me that that is elder abuse and she is reporting me to the state.

$4.50 a Gal. here in the Isles, Truckers are shelling out $375 for a fill up…!

My dad told me today that one of his dentist friends had the rent DOUBLED for the next year. So he closed his practice and is now working from two other dentists’ practices instead.

No. I ain’t teasing with my pseudonym. High prices are good for my industry. It had more to do with corporate takeovers and such. I can explain, on this thread, if the firepups are interested in close, hand to hand fighting on mergers and mutinies, truck-driver style.

Speech! Tell it!

I’m interested to know what happened

See, I’m going back and forth on this.

Either this is a brilliant punk, or these women are serious, in which case they’re probably the people least well served by karaoke night in the local TGIFridays in history.

Me, too.

maybe they are all mcbush could afford? maybe they have a staff member who has a cousin who is studying marketing and was willing to work for peanuts.

That must be seconded and thirded (is that even a friggin word?) before I hijack this thread and give the long sordid tale of it all. It is a good tale and I am Irish, so it will be worth it if the pups deem it so.

My exposure to that painting, I’m embarassed to say, is from the Tao of Pooh – I’m interested to see what someone who knows more thinks about it

I have heard many a crappy karaoke song but this is just criminal. But it suites McCain because the songs are outdated, cheesy, have no real connection to music as we know it, etc. (man I could go on here)

It has been seconded by Christine Edmonson (any relation to Drew?) The tale is nearly worth a front page post, but their are legal matters, so actual names must be omitted.

Rachel maddow played it on the radio a few days ago, and she seemed to think they were genuine.

I want to hear about it.

What??? Details, please.

That must be seconded and thirded (is that even a friggin word?) before I hijack this thread and give the long sordid tale of it all. It is a good tale and I am Irish, so it will be worth it if the pups deem it so.

thirded

So now that even folks in the MSM are calling it “war crimes,” and the jig is in fact, “up,” what are your plans for when Bush declares martial law?

When I first heard the McCain girls I thought they were weird. After seeing the response to the criticism of their “performance” it’s clear they’re delusional. Like, scary delusional.

Yes, OFG, let’s hear it.

I’m interested, OFG.

OFG,
Your long posts are wonderful, but yes, it needs a front page post… no, who is Drew Edmonson?

My reference is the same as yours. I always enjoyed how the image described the character of schools of thought.

has anyone asked julia – tis her post

I emailed my mom the youtube of the new McCain Girls’ video, Here Comes McCain Again and she said she was reporting me to the state for elder abuse for sending that awful video (it truly is worse than the first video)

thanks :)

Surely it must be a joke – they can’t even carry a tune.

I’m joining the underground. (i’ve been watching The Matrix again)

Have you tried this?
What American accent do you have?

I came out “Inland North”.

Re: the McCain girls. I agree that it’s wrong to make comments about physical appearance. But I can’t help pointing out for the “Raining McCain” video, if you’re going to be in front of a blue screen, do you think there are certain colors you should avoid wearing? Like, um, blue?

(exhales)

I’ve always had a sneaking fondness for that book

I work for a small, family owned business that began when oil derrick were wood and the men were iron. My company was one of two in Oklahoma that began when the idea of moving drilling rigs was contemplated.
Now, three generations later, my company has grown so vast, the opportunity came about for an East Coast accounting firm to acquire the assets. It happened and dictums from upon high were cast down before the swine of ignorance, who have been doing this work for generations.

PartI

LOL but pointing that out is not poking fun at their appearance, it is moreso pointing out a gaffe.

I tried that quiz and it said that I had a midwestern (which is strange being that I was born and raised in calif and my parents are immigrants)

When I came to California I thought everyone sounded like their were from the midwest. At least the Cali Coast folks.

Part II

Much grumbling and discontent was heard, loudly and often by me, about the changes. A time clock showed up. We don’t do time clocks, so I took a sledgehammer and beat the fucker flat. I carried inside and told teh front office that something must have fell on it 15 or twenty times.

The natives were restless.

New Yorkers think I have a Texas accent. Texans think I have a NY accent.

Starting…

Your Result: The Northeast

Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

My husband comes out as “Philadelphia”, which is weird, because we’re both from Chicago.

that is where I grew up, on the coast. I’m always surprised that I didn’t have any pronunciation interference from my parents’ accents but yet having been with mr wobbs for years, I have picked up his pronunciation (and quite a few colloquialisms)

I don’t know how that test could ever tell a New Orleanian.
Southern/Phlly/New York combo. fa suwa.

i came out as phila also. only 80 miles off.

The funny thing about that quiz is that, as I was clicking how various words are said, I thought, “Well, duh, of course that’s the way you say it!” Which is apparently what other people are thinking, while clicking different options. ;)

Same, I should read it again. It was Lao-tse rather Buddha whom smiled at tasting of the vinegar.

But, yes, a fun book :)

hehehe something fell on it 15 or 20 times.

yes…

Um, the McCain “girls” don’t have a particular accent as far as I can tell. They do, however, have a particular stupidity. Dumb, uneducated, stupid…

The fact that these women would want to call themselves “girls” kinda says it all.

My kids make fun of how I say pin/pen = pin.

Also mirror is mirah.

more, OFG!

…that something must have fell on it 15 or twenty times.

Yeah Man! Shirt happens…! 8-)

I thinks that they are just wanta be McCain girls.

My kid makes fun of damn near everything about me these days!

Just checked in on I can has cheezburger. This one really cracked me up for some reason.

Part III

A long list of “thou shalt nots” showed up. Tracking devices were distributed, payment of breakdowns were limited to 9 to 5 Monday through Friday. Six trucks were demanded to stop coming out of Houston to satisfy the safety man, causing late delivery, cranes were canceled, and re-ordered two days later. The situation was untenable, and a new home was found for the In-laws and out-laws of this company. New trucks had to be bought and rigged up at the new company, which meant about a six-month delay before our “Johnny Paycheck” moment. Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep a secret for six months in the Oilfields of Oklahoma?

Nova McCain, numbingly bad.

-G

Don’t worry. It gets better in about ten years.

Late to (return) to thread – but thanks for link to VF’s Monsatan article, Christine.

“Food and Health and Hope“

Actually, I gave some of it back to him today. In front of his two friends even. He said “yo mama”. And I said “That’s right. I am MAMA. I make the rules.” Then he said something along the lines of “yo ugly” and I replied, “Oh no, I think you have me confused with my son.” He sorta stopped around then.

Oh Betsy, that will pass in about five years…really! And by 22 or so he will love you.

True….

At the end of the new video, it says, VOTE MCCAIN 08

guess it really is serious (not that it would have been any better as a joke)

I speak like my yankee dad speaks, but people are forever asking me where I’m from because I don’t speak Nu Yawk (and I love that accent – it’s from italians and russians and germans learning english from the irish, and you can hear all the influences if you listen).

No, not at all…

I got Inland North, which is pretty accurate.

Chances are you call carbonated drinks “pop.”

Ha! Yes, that is accurate.

Bless you. It’s really hard at that age, when they want to separate from their parents but they can’t find any other way than being rude.

Shocking, for me yesterday, just shocking. Ack, Ack…

My former boyfriend had tracking devices on all of us. His kids, me, my kids, his partners…por eso, nada mas.

That last video, at 2:04 – I think she actually had an orgasm.

Umm wow 6 months….and then?????

ew!

I carried inside and told teh front office that something must have fell on it 15 or twenty times.

Have I told you lately how much I love you? :)

Yeah, that thought may keep me up , um, awake tonight.

This test was retahded, it said I had a Bawston accdent.

-G

That’s right…get em Betsy.

As my dad said on many numerous occasions, Teenagers suck

LMAO I thought the same thing

Hold up right there!! Teenagers are so wonderful, so open to new ideas.

I didn’t say they suck, my father (the father of quite a few teenagers) said it.

Part IV The Heat Is On!

I walk into work, knowing the jig is up, somebody spilled the beans about a week too early. I find myself face-to-face with the CEO of the East Coast accounting firm that aqcuired my no longer existent family business. I’m his best fucking friend. He wants to give me ten thousand dollars if I will show him some love for six months. This is a bonus, on top of what I make on the road. Alas, it is too late for him, because all customers are moving to the other company, along with all the drivers.

He does not like my answer. It is not often a multi-millionaire finds himself couped up in a small room with the likes of me. Clearly he is trying to make a cookie-cutter mold of our company, trying to dress it up and sell it to someone else so he can make millions from my taking his goddam welfare check. I cleaned my truck out tonight and move into my new one Monday morning.

As the Mom of recent twenties, and formerly mother of teens, I’ll say this:
great teen times are wonderful! (like captain of the team)
bad teen times are horrible (like the times at juvee court)
I’ve had all of them. And survived. Heh!

THAT’S IT?

That is the “fatal” gaffe?

I can’t even find much to disagree with in that transcript, let alone get offended and pissy about. Please explain, if anyone understands which part was “the bad part”, cause I just don’t get it.

ofg imitates johnny?

Shocking, for me yesterday, just shocking. Ack, Ack…

I was shocked too Christine – and good on you for being outraged.

From PCB’s to Agent Orange to BST to Terminator Genes – no wonder megacorps so fear corporate liability – and why it will all be the sweeter for us to see Monsanto’s assets seized, it’s stockholders with worthless paper, and it’s chief officers, scientists, and legal counsel come before Hague tribunals. All of us have PCB’s in our bodies – and now Monsatan and the GMO vampires spread across our lands.

And we’ll see the whole lot fail – articles like that used to be on the margins – now VF carries them for major stories.

What Dan Quayle and the Doctrine of Equivalence made, we can unmake.

And we are.

Desperate Hillary is throwing whatever will stick to the wall in relationship to Barrack. Ain’t gonna work honey.

I will miss my old truck. Five hundred and fifty horse caterpillar engine that will jerk the paint off of whatever you haul. Oh well…

wow. just.simply.wow

Congrats for throwing his welfare money back at him and sticking to your guns (allof you)

The classics never die…

…but maybe they should, sometimes. (not imitating jonny even a little bit)

I know. And teenagers are such fun. Remember back? You are still a youngster, WB, but I can tell you, being a teenager back in the day was FUN!!

I’m sure you’re well aware of that fact!

supposedly the tone is condescending.

oh and the mentioning of guns and religion (i guess it is done in a bad light)

I dunno, I find the whole thing stupid

OFG good luck with the job change. So glad you stood up for yourself. Dignity is important.

Good for you, OFG. You did the right thing.

Mine is nudging at the brink of being a teenager. I keep trying to remember that. It’s good to be reminded.

It makes me cry about a million things, but first of all, what the hell can I eat? Bad enough that I stand in the grocery aisile reading every lable, and then force Mr.C. to leave with nothing else but bananas? We, at least have some great markets here in Cleveland, with organic booths. Sigh, and double sigh.

hats off, ofg

OFG, ya done good. Of course, from coming to know you here, I’m not at all surprised…just happy to have one more reason to know you rawk.

I may make it sound like a “brave” thing, but it really wasn’t. I did not feel that his “bonus” would make up for the loss of revenue I would suffer due to freight loss (I get paid a percentage). The loss, if any, was less than the benefit of leaving a crappy company.

Yep, it was fun but I hated high school

I had my hellion moments and I remember not talking much to my parents until I was 18.

OFG, My brother feels your pain. Let me know if you get this message cuz it’s gone to a new thread.

playing catch-up here, Great Story, OFG! *ndfg stands on chair & applauds*

well if not brave than it was smart (you could see the biger picture)

mine still talk to me. not always politely, but they talk.

I got Inland North too, which is interesting since I was born and raised in the SF bay area

Yep – Monsatan’s stuff really is evil. They’ve gone from polluting our entire planet with PCB’s we can’t destroy (without creating even more hideous problems) to spreading genetic pollution across our fields…and the latter all to sell more Round-up (glyphosate) – now shown to increase the risk of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in humans.

The genetic pollution – which renders our contaminated unfit for many export markets, while slashing their values in others – that is the seed of Monsatan’s destruction.

At the same time, I sure respect the reason for your tears – and honor them.

“Not all tears are evil”

As for what we can eat – we can eat what our grandparents ate as kids – foods we make, bake, and cook from bulk/raw ingredients (organic and grown in the few parts of the world with functioning democracies). Of course, this means walking away from what Pollin has described as the center of the supermarket – most all the processed foods. Not easy – and in winter, not always thrilling – but doable.

Hope this doens’t sound like a lecture (not meant to be). Sole purpose is to describe one way out of the dilemma Monsatan and their toxic empire have created for us all.

Good Night all. Tell your mama, vote Obama!

Keep him safe
As head of state
Make Howard Dean
His running mate!
