ES!

Yeppers. Have the comfy hammock down by the tiki torches, as always.

I have two! In case company arrives and settles into one.

I’m hoping that I’ll feel like celebrating the *next* Fourth of July.

Which would, of course, be preceded by parties on November 4, 2008, and January 20, 2009.

Am I planning too far ahead?

Hiya, Al!!

Dugg - Thanks.
How’s your holiday?

hey jayt! how’re ya doing?

fan eyes is my suggestion es

dugg

Oooooh, interesting.

of course, if it was a van engine, then the name should be van eyes

We are doing had a nice dinner of Alaskan Salmon, yellow squash(from the garden) and rice… We then took Tucker for a walk around the neighborhood during the fireworks…
How about you Neuro… enjoying the 4th?

I driven across So. Mo. & No. Ar. in the past month. Have yet to see an Obama or McCain political yard sign. I’ve seen exactly one Bumper sticker & 3 yard signs for Ron Paul.

and for goodness sake, es, dont ask busted for a cat name! he has a habit of naming cats include the 7 words you can’t say on tv

Reminds me of my first cat.. Fancy.

ES, he looks like an ALEX to me.

On that note, I am off to bed.

Kitteh!

Naming a new pet can be difficult at times until you get to know them a bit…

and, of course, there is always naming the little fella for the size of the engine or brand of vehicle… here’s to hoping the little guy is not named edsel

pain free sleep wishes tex

damned cat is what I name all of them.

True.. Though when they are so young.. you name and they own that name in their personality, sometimes.

LOL Oh Suz puleeze not edsel..

Well, looks like it’s election season in WA state. Back to back anti-Rossi and anti Gregoire TV ads. It’s gonna be a loooong summer.

FunnyD

Yay FireDogs and FireFolks everywhere…and they are everywhere.

A weekly meeting of Drinking Liberally coming up this Sunday, it’s a Brunch, and my message:

‘ I care not what Senator ‘El Foldo’ does about FISA, SCOTUS, the Convention and all the rest of the things he will screw up on his way to wherever he is going. Also ran, Nominee, or Loser. I am working for a more representative Congress starting from the ground up. You folks do what you want. Me? I intend to…

Fight Back!’

when we got two new cats after all of our old kitties had died, our daughter sharon informed us on the ride back from the friend of hers who’d provided them (from the same litter) that they had telepathically informed her that their names were Melissa and Throat Slashing Killer Cat (for the male). When we complained that the latter name was a bit long, she thought a moment and then told us that he said we could call him “George” for short.

Sharon was about 33 at that time. Some traits (weirdness) breed true! :)

I love the video
It’s purrfect

carmengia

I mis remembered. it was “Savage Throat Slashing Killer Cat”. CRS syndrome strikes again. :(

Our little guy certainly has lived up to his Name Tucker… and boy does he pay attention when he is called by name… whether for good, tail a wagging or bad tail down and just seeming to be try to melt into the floor!

Thanks Suz. Back tomorrow.

I had a cat named Claude once, because that’s how you felt when you were with him

bailey is named for her propensity for taking foot bail

token is a token imitation male that is too small to be a real dog

Good one Al does she seances also??

but still the cutest dog in the world, nine pound class. Right?

Our little guy certainly has lived up to his Name Tucker…

You named your cat “Tucker”?

wow, that’s cold. What’s the number for the local ASPCA?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucker_Carlson

That kitten looks like a Shug to me, as it Sugar. Very sweet face.

no, too dangerous. lots of nasties in teh astral planes. only does animal telepathy like her mom.

since it’s a boy cat and it’s the 4th, how about Thomas Paine?

ot, but it looks like the fight to keep blackwater out of San Diego continues

http://www.signonsandiego.com/.....ermit.html

The City’s appealed the lower court ruling for the mercs to the 9th circuit. I wonder if Blackwater would fight this all the way to the Supremes, in which case Scalitothomasroberts will be the ones to put mercs into the city. In the mean time, the city is still harassing them with numerous building permit issues.

yeap, who thinks he’s a big dog

My cat, named Jessie Yazoo by my friend who the cat adopted, before claiming me.. All I know is the Yazoo part is for Yazoo City, Mississippi.

i bet they are looking for any scandal to use against the mayor. and good on san diego for standing up to the fuckers!

Then “John Bolton” is out of the question *g*

I had a cat named Andwew. He was named after a teacher who couldn’t pronounce his R’s. It was sad but so funny to hear him call roll.
“Wuben Womewo? Wobert Woybal?…”

No Tucker is the best dog in the 12 lb class…. he and Token are friends and Tucker is hoping they can get together again for a doggie date….. probably when the Bear Creek Pups meet at Suz’s to help pack her up for her moving to the great NorthWest..

Last report I read.. the code/inspecter people were nailing Blackwater on a lot of things.

Not if he eats rats for pleasure.

Should name him Motörhead.

*hands on hips* since when is late nite turbulent? Umm…? *g*

duh! the purrfect name for the little guy

Here’s some ugly fuckin mojo:
Let’s say the new President clobbers the mercs in Iraq, and needs to replace them with US Soldiers (doing the job they should have been doing in the first place, ignoring for the moment that we never should have been there…) - Where do we find the Soldiers?

Dip Stick is nice or SLC (pronounced slick for silly little cat).

Why am I suddenly having “Life Of Brian” flashbacks here?

Oops, Jose Cuervo Jello shots…! ;-)

you one of those who thinks
“the trouble with a kitten is that
eventually it becomes a cat” ?
via Ogden Nash

Thomas Cam Paine. (isn’t a cam an auto part…. and the sound all together when calling the kitty… Thomas Campaign!

I once named two kitties (brother and sister) JC and Penny.

hahahaha

Wait, wait. I saw that guy in a movie…
“Welease Bwian!”
Oh, then he was in another one…
“Mawiage. That Dweam within a dweam…”

FunnyD

where’s my handkerchief?

I like people names for cats - Suggesting the newest member of the FDL Collective - “Spencer.”

I like and thought of slick… but as an Arkansan.. slick reminds me of Bill Clinton (slick willies the pool hall)

last name Tracy???

*sigh
somehow virtual cuervo shots just aren’t the same as the real thing

Rad E. Ater

455 rocket

then the full name would be Spencer Attackercat?

The name should be Sparkie (or Sparky)

Only if it fits in the collar tag :-)

I like it.. Fits the first photo to a T.

The USA is already across the Rubicon with unconstitutional war, but I’ve been wondering what Gates and Mullen would do if given an attack order from Bush that they considered unconstitutional and harmful to national security.

We need a poll done in the African American community where we we explain to people in the African American community our position on FISA and Barack Obama’s position in maybe in a 2 or 3 paragraph summary without ever telling them whose position is whose. To prevent word from spreading and introducing bias.
We do the poll in the most factual way with direct quotes, no bias, leading questions, etc kind of way we can. We make our poll methodolgy available on the net along with the script of how we do the poll to further reduce any question of bias and we challenge the GOP and Center dems to start doing the same. I am so tired of questionable polls supporting any argument!
Then we release the poll results if as I expect African Americans do not support Obama’s position on FISA if they don’t know its his position on FISA.
If College kids another core Obama demo also don’t support Obama….well its no longer the Lefty Blogger types then its pretty much all of the anti Bush Majority then.
On the other hand if African Americans and college kids support Obama or if even one of these groups do then well FISA is toast.
But I feel like gambling on hope right now

My suggestion, in honor of the FISA sell-out, would be: Cat Pitulation

I had a kitty born into our household who looked very much like this one. I named him Bubbles because when he was a young kitty he was always the first one to bounce into my lap when I came in to play with them. He reminded me of a bubble bouncing across the room to get to me first. But that’s not the name I’m suggesting. As the cat grew up, a few years later I regretted that I didn’t think to call him Sylvester, because he looked like Sylvester. Even more importantly, he had Sylvester’s attitude. At any rate, he’s sure a cutie! I predict you will not regret adopting this cat!

Now it’s my bedtime, so ‘nite all!

g’nite ann in az

WHy poll without informing? … just slam the print ad into those markets. The same print ad used in Steny’s district. I think it would be very effective in the AA community.

night Ann AZ

Life of Brian…I forgot all about that!

I think most polls are designed to get the results the buyer wants.. Let’s play hardball too.

seems to be Zogby’s methodology

yeah.. it was pretty funny. They ordered them to put a handicap accessibility ramp on a glorified climbing wall, among other things. But the only way to stop them permanently would be to get the federal courts to jump in and say that the city has the ability to hold public hearings on the issue.. right now, Blackwater has the upper hand because they got a federal judge to rule that the city was violating Blackwater’s constitutional rights by denying them the occupancy permit despite the zoning, or something like that. That’s when the building inspectors hit them with the ADA violations and such… but I think that was just a stalling tactic. Now its up to the 9th Circuit, and, failing that, the Supreme Court.

That kitten appears to me to be a tuxedo kitty (black and white). We have a tuxedo kitty that we have named Mittens, in reference to the white paws he has on his black legs. This kitty looks enough like ours that I recommend the name Mittens.

‘evening, folks.

oo
how about Jose Cuervo?

I have an old liquor bottle, Jose Cuervo — it’s a soccer ball with a crow head top, and the favorite of my bottle collection. Of course I am especially (perhaps too)fond of tequila. ;)

or mebbe Salvador, but I digress *g

from Huffpost:
GOP Rep: Bush “Should Stay Home” During Republican Convention

Dugg

actually.. I think he should go the convention and give a glowing speech endorsing McSame as his spiritual heir and big brother… embracing him repeatedly.. maybe even kissing him on the mouth.

If you look closely, he does resemble Ferdinand the Bull
(special link for Suz)

si?
or no?

A Ferd in the hand is worth what? /s

Well by keeping it secret I’m trying to reduce bias. Because I think that if we poll and tell people that the pro FISA position is Obama’s they might tell their friends and that would introduce a bias. Hopefully if they don’t know until we release the poll we can keep the results accurate.
I am just trying to keep things as accurate and as honest as possible if anybody has any ideas on how to do that better please chime in. I maybe wrong polling is not my specialty.

My Dad’s cat was named Mittens because she had double toes on her front paws… she would eat breakfast of Wheaties with my Dad… she also loved mashed potatoes??? but would not any meat except in her canned food…

Now that kissing part I would pay to see…

Name? Xcluv, short for exclusivity.

thanks ellie :)

We need a poll done in the African American community where we we explain to people in the African American community our position on FISA and Barack Obama’s position in maybe in a 2 or 3 paragraph summary without ever telling them whose position is whose. To prevent word from spreading and introducing bias.

Everybody know from watching detective shows that wiretaps require warrants, which require a judge to see some reason, which is commonly called “probable cause.” At least that was the case when I was a kid.

Ghetto blacks, who feel more than a bit put upon by the cops I’m told, will surely relate to that policy. It doesn’t need a lot of explanation for anyone black, white, red, yellow, or brown to relate to it. The government should stay out of my shit unless they have a real good reason and can convince a judge. That’s all we’re asking for. Nothing very profound aobut that.

Well, I was kinda arbitrary with the letter omissions.

For what it’s worth, I’m not sure McSame would have the constitutional stamina to handle the experience…

If we show our poll methodolgy and the way questions are delivered I think its called a script then we get credit for being honest and this would give us a platform to criticize all the fake polls we can expect to hear this election from both sides.
After all any poll that does not show its methodology and script we can then dismiss out of hand, after all what have they got to hide?

By the same measure, probable cause as a legal concept has shrunk to a fraction of it’s former self. They know that, too.

Ya mean the BIG ONE??? Oh

Diesel The Cat.

well
when you put (it in hand) that way . . .

lmao!

Since it’s FISA week, how about calling the cat “Feingold.”

Other suggestion for July 4th, “Doodle Dandy.” Tuxedo coat is a bit dandyish… I had a female tuxedo long ago.

off to clean for the mother of all showings… the buyer is bringing her kin up to take a look at the little cottage by the creek in the redwoods. gotta make it all sparkly and shiny so they fall in love with it too.

g’nite all

Exactly.. ANd we know the Obama campaign is very aggressively registering as many AA voters as humanly possible.

The whole lack of a stand and capitulation is about as counterintuitive as Obama could possibly get. Especially if folks actually knew what was going on.

You are so right Dave Chappelle the comedian has a great bit about African Americans knowing exactly what the laws are and the penalties. I can’t recall the wording of the joke though:(.

Good luck…and good night, Suzanne.
