Suz2!
Let me start of by thanking Eureka Springs for covering my slots while I was occupied with family and the wedding.
Thank you Eureka.
Suz3#
present
shhhh! don’t anyone tell her…
…so, Suz, how was the wedding?
more kenny wayne - with introductions of band members
Ahem - I was told that there was a zed to be claimed….
it was fucking fabulous - pictures at my place (click on my name)
*whine whine - i can’t believe ya’ll had a fucking fuck thread while i was away*
and also, I gotta wonder about the reference to broken hearts so soon after a family wedding. Anyone dance on the tables? give a real tasty toast?
Fuckin’ howdy, Suz!
ya gotta be fast to keep up around here jayt
Don’t you mean forking? Some forking folks used “forking” in your honor.
Nice to have ya back.
good to have you back, Suze. Things got kinda wild on Saturday with Thers F-word post, but we behaved ourselves. Mostly. Sorta. Oh, fuck. We fucking swore up a storm. Your swear jar woulda been full.
Well evidently the right-wingers were not very impressed with McCain’s speech tonight and that’s putting it mildly. LOL
. Mark Levin on McCain:
Not to offend those who might be offended, but this speech is a mash and tough to digest. You have to get through the self-congratulatory praise of independence and commander-in-chief pose from the Senate, then you have to try to follow the inconsistency of some of his big-government ideas vs. his anti-big-government rhetoric, and his inconsistency even on his supposed strength — the surge in Iraq vs. closing GITMO and conferring additional rights on the detainees. I am also put off by some of the anti-Bush stuff. Distancing himself from Bush is one thing, but he almost exclusively (as best I can tell) criticizes him, giving Bush little credit (tax cuts, Supreme Court appointments and yes, the surge, which Bush ordered not McCain).
Michele Malkin’s view. LOL
McCain still talking and plodding along. Fox is the only one of the networks still carrying the speech. It’s pedestrian–and even McCain seems to have lost interest in his text. He read a line about Obama making a good first impression, and the audience inexplicably laughed. Did I miss something?
Update 9:10pm Eastern. It’s done and he seems relieved. Join the club
I swear…!
well, no cops were called
but no one danced on the bar either
it was very mellow, very loving, everyone was fucking drop dead gorgeous
the song seemed fitting for the final primary night and had nothing to do with the wedding
anyone else emotio-politically spent?
I am, and I wasn’t even round for the returns tonight, choosing instead to shiver my arse off at a pointless SF Giants game.
forks!? we don’t need no stink’n forks.
heh, she was pissed we had all that fun without her…!
whine whine - i can’t believe ya’ll had a fucking fuck thread while i was away*
well we could have another one - soon (I’m thinking some pups might be “fucked” out).
That was more fucking than I personally have done in years. 8-)
Yeah, I was giving lots of hugs earlier today. I was pretty worked up on Saturday. Thank ####### goodness we could swear off some steam on late nite. thers post ########### awesome.
moi
I would settle for just straight up fucked. mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
(((Suzanne)))
Nothing like a wedding to remind us of priorities & stuff.
Rookies.
zed is dead.
so is Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign
but Digg isn’t!
LOL. I could have used that pic earlier today while discussing pie fights. You were there weren’t you?
dugg and thanks neuro :)
Rookies.
LOL…
They lost?
Maybe McCain knows that he is not going to win barring some accident or a military coup and he is just going through the motions?
I mean who am I to argue with wingers like Malkin if she is not impressed with McCain like she was with Bush then I doubt the other 30%ers are feeling that motivated by their candidate either.
You know, in a strange and unexpected way, I’m glad Hillary is taking a few days to decompress. It would have seemed forced and fake to concede and support today. And I was tired of media predictions. So good for her.
Nah. I’m semi-retired.
Have to do a firedoglake greatest fucking hits someday
I’ll cut ya some fucking slack then.
LOL!
I’ve got a Bo Diddley story. I heard him once locally, and some friends were his local band. But these friends were friends of the local Hell’s Angels. So, just before the show starts, the entire local chapter of the Hell’s Angels comes strutting in with their women heeling like dogs.
As long as it’s among consenting adults, I’m inclined to think that anything goes, but my feminist girlfriend was not so liberal/libertarian/libertine on this matter. It cost me; I was not allowed to again select the entertainment for a very long time.
they’re down by three in the bottom of the ninth. when we left it was 9-1 Mets.
Nah. I’m semi-retired.
Seems to be temp-work for me…
I know, isn’t it weird???
It’s bizarre that the media is giving equal weight to a person who can’t keep his positions straight.
Plus, Ms Katie Couric just frosted me this pm with a newsbreak stating in full authority that HRC would like the veep position. Excuse me? I didn’t hear that announcement from HRC. It really seems like an idea pushed hard by right wing media. Forgive me if I sound paranoid.
So, after having a fundraiser at Joe Canizaro’s pad in Old Metry, McCain went over to Kenner (”America’s City!”) and began his remarks by saying:
Good evening from the great city of New Orleans.
Oh noez! RedState sent me an alert saying the New Party endorsed Obama in 1996! And the alert said the New Party was a bunch of, “socialists, unrepentant communists, union activists, urban activists, and environmentalists.” And their platform was, “Its platform included such lovely ideas as government takeovers of all banking institutions, much higher taxes, and massive reductions in the military.” How horrible! They also wanted a shorter work week, full employment and a living wage!
Obama will never, ever survive being connected to such damn dirty pinko commie hippie bastards! We’re doomed!
Here’s their article, if you feel like chuckling at conservative morons.
At at the rate SuperDs are declaring, Obama will soon be past the number of delegates he would have needed to win if Florida and Michigan had been seated at 100% - and this I believe is one of the things she is waiting to see before she makes any public decision. Once that threshold is reached she really no longer has any leg to stand on.
Interesting that the talking heads on Abrams, and elsewhere haven’t picked up on the Ted Strickland for V.P. possibility…
The guy is going to see the real poer of the toobz up close and personal, real quick.
Piece of cake .
neat, red state is doing lefty activism for us :D
Did he know what day it was?
“Once that threshold is reached she really no longer has any leg to stand on.”
Seems we have been there a few times. :)
OK, that makes sense too…thanks.
It’s hard to tell how important the support of the conservative base really is. They all hated McCain, but he’s the nominee. Republicans are a weird species.
Hi Suz glad the wedding for your girl and new son went so well1
Back to devouring a bowel of ice cream & fresh strawberries…mmmmmmmm
Does he know who the current president is?
More positions than the Kama Sutra. On Thursday this man doesn’t know what his position was on Tuesday.
Here are some comments from the Free Republic site. LOL I wish I knew some of the other conservative sites so I could see some more comments. What a hoot!
To: Right_in_Virginia
McCain’s speech was so horrible it had guests at dinner laughing at him and the pathetic crowd response and message. This is an old tired cranky man whose time has passed.
The GOP is such a mess for putting this garbage up there. Obama is talking to 22,000 screaming people right now and McCain had what looked like 2 maybe 300 people barely clapping.
This could be a rout.
To: Right_in_Virginia
I noticed that the leftie cable news outlets did NOT carry McCain live. Wonder if they’ll get around to the speech at all? Although it was a little sad, the weak clapping, odd smiles, teleprompter turns. Oh my… There must be an elequent Republican out there someplace!
When I hear John McCain and New Orleans in the same sentence, I cannot help but recall a birthday cake and a guitar and a stupid photo op with the preznit who didn’t care about New Orleans
oops! glad the wedding went so well for your girl and new son .
Hey Suz! And, yanno, good to hear you saying “fucking” instead of “forking”. I mean…. well, never mind! ;) Oh, OTOH is forking what comes between spooning and fucking? Maybe that’s what you meant. ;)
Wow! 3,780 hits.
Thanks for not mentioning the Kama Sutra and “this man” by name in the same comment :-)
My preferred V.P. candidates: Hillary Clinton and Bobby JindalWho?
yes. me, too. fuckers. My parents lost their home in that storm. fuckers.
I had the pleasure of listening to a Robert Greenwald interview on the radio today (of brave new films) and he was explaining how many of the old guard really don’t get that they cannot say one thing in one arena and then turnaround and say another somewhere else. McCain just doesn’t get it nor do many others (George macaca Allen).
I also learned that the 100 years comment was caught by a citizen not network news. Greenwald also makes the point that it is not only getting the video but being able to distribute it so quickly w/o depending on network news that is making the difference. No wonder hojo wants to shut down youtube.
I am off to bed. This destroying democracy, the Democratic Party, the country, and some people’s lives is exhausting work. Take care and enjoy.
Does he know who the current president is?
Oh he knows - he just ain’t talkin’….
So, which genius lobbyist on McCain’s campaign staff figured out that it would be a good idea for him to go there (well, next door) and put it on national TV and remind a few million people of that same thing?
Aloha, DD!
Poor Freepers. Though to their credit, at least they’re not living in fantasyland like RedState. the RedState fuckwits are trying so so so hard to get behind old man McCain.
Yeah, but they really enjoy that salad bar at Applebee’s so they’re ok peeps. /s
Sweet dreams, Dr….. Dick.
So, per DailyKos, here’s the delegate count:
– 2117 are needed to win.
– 2161 is what Obama has.
– 1923 is what Clinton has
– 144.5 are still uncommitted.
Let’s hope that they keep up the good work. I loves me some stoopid McCain staff.
g’nite dr dick (and any other leaving sleepy pups i might have missed when fucking firefox locked up)
arg! no wonder i haven’t seen any p0rn lately, i had safety filter on and only got 860 hits ;)
I hope Obama invites McCain to debate in New Orleans on McCain’s birthday this year — August 29th — and brings cake!
Someone who hates him? It could not have been better calculated to make him look bad.
Umm - if I come to dinner, may I bring my own place setting?
Here are a few more comments about McCain’s speech from the right-wing Free Republic site. Too funny.
To: Right_in_Virginia
Why, oh WHY…does he always sound:
A) Angry
B) Like an automaton
To: SE Mom
We need to start a fund for a speech coach for John….
To: SE Mom
Dammit, another one of those grins at his own lines like he was doing in the first debate. That’s a very annoying habit
To: CAluvdubya
We are so screwed.
To: Right_in_Virginia
Amen he is like taking Ambien I always get sleepy listening to him
To: SE Mom
McCain says we should be able to deliver bottled “hot” water to dehydrated babies…groan.
sw
To: SE Mom
McCain is sooo lame……
If the guy wins its because enough Americans are scared of Barry.
To: The Pack Knight
Someone with image experience needs to get with McCain and have him change some of those annoying habits. Like the winking and the “my friend/s” etc. Sometimes it is condecending.
The list of Republican atrocities is so long the sheeple ain’t gonna remember one quarter of them.
That one needs to be brought up daily.
They think it’s OK to let a city die because they don’t like who lives there and it would be a financial opportunity for their crooked buddies.
Oh fuck, no.
As a matter of fact, that SOB Bush is on the TV, which I never watch, on this very subject.
I don’t forget when people fuck me and my friends, especially my family.
No, Nooooooooo
It’s MY fork, I tells ya! Mine! I am the inevitable Forking Forker around here!!!
FunnyD
Sleep well, Dr. Dick!
John - hire Mark Penn.
Please.
I’ll have to check out their site. It’s so funny to read the comments coming from the right-wingers. They sound so much like what people on the left think about McCain.
Welcome back, Suzanne, from your break.
It was really a great moment–it combined negligence, arrogance, uncaringness, foolishness, incompetence, and a couple of easily-remembered visual symbols in addition to indelibly pairing Bush and McBush in people’s minds. I wonder if it’s on YouTube?
It has actually crossed my mind that the whole thing might be an overly gross image. ;-)
You crack my shit up!
BTW, Darth is up to his old tricks again! Blogwhore alert, and give some love to my newest comrade-in-arms, Ranger Against War!!!
Wow!
Prop 98, which would have eliminated rent control in California, failed! A people-powered victory, for sure.
Damn - found this one too late. If anybody sees lukasiak around, please forward this one with my compliments:

* hands suz the swear jar *
History was made today people I don’t think any GOP Presidential candidate has come in third in the last Presidential Primary before.
McCain came in third in Montana a Western State McCain is a Western Senator you would think he could carry the West. The GOP needs to win the West and South to hold on to enough of a Senate majority to sustain a filibuster.
Barring a Coup the race is over today there is no way the GOP can win if they have to defend the West and Obama’s juicing the African American voter turnout means that the GOP has to spend money to defend the South.
Does anyone think that McCain can make up for his weakness in the South and West,in the Midwest, New England or the West Coast?
This is leading to a cascade effect.
“A Cascade Effect is an unforeseen chain of events due to an act affecting a system. If there is a possibility that the cascade effect will have a negative impact on the system it is possible to analyse the effects with a consequence/impact analysis. Cascade effects are commonly visualised in tree structures, so-called event trees.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_effect
McCain’s failure to be competitive elsewhere frees Obama to spend money in the South and West where a long war and high gas prices are taking a much highertoll on the Right to work states (an anti union law responsible for the lower wages in many of these states).
This warms the c0ckles of my heart.
Suzanne cheats the swear jar — her quarter has a string attached~!
Apparently, according to Anne in AZ (previous thread) the magic number if both states had been seated 100% would have been 2209.
Once that threshold is met - I don’t see how Clinton has a case for challenging anything. And I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s reached by the end of the week. The superdels can count too, and most are likely not in favour of chaos at the convention.
Montana’s GOP primary was in February.
Oh! congrats. my daughter just returned from pollworking up in SF (where her school is).
Interesting: some people like using the voting machines that are electronic because they perceive them as more environmentally friendly (not concerned with auditing of the votes). Might be some work to do on that front.
lol, should have that when the poo was really flowing mid primary.
I remember those guys!
Hell, you can’t even say their song titles in polite company!
you bad and much appreciated.
Pathetic.
Although in fairness people talk about Microsoft being in Seattle, which it isn’t.
Is Kenner really the suburb that blockaded itself against black Katrina refugees during the initial flood panic?
FunnyD
A little late :>) they’re gone :>(
no free pass for freep ass.
Suzanne cheats the swear jar — her quarter has a string attached~!
Plus, she missed the fuck thread - and is entitled to some fuck-missing slack.
LOL.
I always think of this Caddy shack scene when reading those comments from that commenter.
Woo-hoo: for CA pups, Leno is kicking Joe Nation’s sorry lying ass.
and 99 seems to be passing!
No. That was on the west bank of the mississippi. Kenner is in Jefferson Parrish near Metairie.
haha I remember how much McCain liked the “gay sweaters”
Me Too!
you bad and much appreciated.
There’s so much to be said for a *prolonged* adolescence…
