I got so depressed reading through that Bayh post and comments that I went over to Craigslist and looked at cute kitten and puppy ads until I could come back to something a bit more uplifting.
Anyone been able to get The Wrecking Crew yet? I ordered it from Amazon today, but they say it won’t arrive til the 8th. Apparently being released tomorrow. It’s getting lots of hype on NPR and such. I know that IT will be depressing!
Saturday’s book salon by the author of What’s the Matter With Kansas……… new one is about how the repukes simply trashed/wrecked the country …..you know, Grover (Devil) Norquist’s idea of drowning the govt in the bathtub…. I hope it doesn’t make Shock Doctrine look like a romp in the weeds.
OMG …. how low can people go……. con artists have been scamming people renting out empty homes that they do not own….. with all the empty homes out here …… this young family rented a nice house at a low rent …… after they were in the home, the real owners showed up…… thankfully the owners are letting them stay until they can afford to move….
That’s happening in the outer suburbs here, also gangs moving into cul-de-sacs. There have been pot-growing houses, big enterprises, for a few years as well.
This song is great! Do Joe and Valerie know about it?
I have a long list, but I would change the question. If not a progressive then why not Hillary? And I am not now nor have I been a Clinton supporter for at least 12 years.
See, I tend to agree. Hillary can bring the votes and the experience (well, she talks like it and has been around far longer than BO). I can’t think of anyone who can bring those votes, and I think we’re all being naive if we don’t realize that Obama can go down in flames just as fast at Kerry did. The crawl through the right and the independents is so iffy…..questions about his experience as an attorney, about who is really backing him (i.e., how did he actually get to Harvard and who paid for/supported that), and so forth. Too many Dems talking about not voting. Though someone today recommended Howard Dean, and while the right hates him, I think he’s pretty cool…….I’d be more likely to happily pull that lever if he were on the ticket. Bayh, not so much.
You know, if it weren’t for Elizabeth, I’d say go with Edwards. If McCane decided he wanted to make an issue of it, we could discuss his abandoning his injured wife for Cindy Lou. Who is McCane going to choose as his running mate?
STURGIS, S.D. - Thousands of motorcyclists greeted Republican presidential candidate John McCain with an approving roar Monday as he sought blue-collar and heartland support by visiting a giant motorcycle rally.
“As you may know, not long ago a couple hundred thousand Berliners made a lot of noise for my opponent. I’ll take the roar of 50,000 Harleys any day,” McCain said, referring to Democrat Barack Obama’s recent visit to the German capital.
What about Elizabeth … her terminal illness ? She will be the first one on the News shows talking about how she is encouraging John to take the Veep nomination, and I hope & pray that she beats this thing.
I don’t think the story has been debunked. Unrelated but some folks at TPM (and Nancy Pelosi) have kicked around the idea of nominating Chet Edwards. He’s been in the House since ‘91. Pretty good voting record, 100 percent rating by NARAL.
Karel, a commentator on KGO and gay activist, has said all along that Obama can’t win because he is black. I refused to believe his arguments. I wanted America to be better than that. Now I wonder.
I was thinking their game plan is to ignore it and hope that it blows into oblivion … if they go on TV and reject it, that just gives the story more legs.
Lots of domestic abuse connected with that contest. Either way, I still want pics of him trying to ride a Night Rod Special. Though the crowd at Sturgis isn’t really full of V-Rod fans. Nothin’ but low, slow and ugly for them. Maybe that’s why they like McCain!
Did Miss Buffalo Chip enter a Wet tee Shirt contest too?
That’s how ya get votes from Drunken Bikers, surprised Mr. Straight Talk didn’t think of that one while he was pandering.
Actually, I think he’s more likely to quietly go about preparing a Libel Suit against the Enquirer … and given his reputation, I think other media outlets are staying clear …
But I actually believe that Colin Powell, in his better days!, could have won. Particularly if he’d been Bush’s VP rather than the Cheney-devil. He had … oh, what did they used to say, gravitas. I don’t think it will be because he’s black that Obama may not win but that he is unknown and is too smooth by half with no real record to back him up. We are in deep shit in this country and I doubt that most folks will be willing to risk on an unknown. And Obama is not helping himself by dissing his base and being too-cool-for-school. I hope that he’ll step up after the convention….start talking real sense.
55 seems about the average age, from the pictures I’ve seen of Sturgis. From what I saw, it was like Ft. Lauderdale during spring break, only everyone was middle aged, on motorcycles, and in South Dakota.
Well, I sure hope you’re right. I can’t imagine what things must be like in their home if not. Somehow, I imagine Elizabeth ultimately welcoming the baby girl into the family.
I have to tell you guys what I did today. I scared myself witless. I was at Target shopping for new dishes. I witnessed a mother haul off and smack a child in the mouth. The girl was probably around 12 or 14. She almost feel on the floor and started to cry. The horrid mother then said, “I don’t know what you think you problem is”. Then I said, “I don’t know what YOU think your problem is lady.” Then she comes at me wagging her finger and saying that it wasn’t my business. I told her it was my business and every body else’s when a child is being abused and that she was a bad parent. Then I turned and walked away. My knees were knocking. I thought it was important that the kid knew someone witnessed a crime.
I wonder how McCain treats his adopted black kid. Can’t you just see him and Cindy sitting around the kitchen table and planning his first campaign. I won’t if that is when they figured that having a black child would help them out. I don’t think they do anything out of the goodness of their hearts.
Mary! Good for you. It really takes strength to step up in a situation like that, but the daughter probably sees things in a new light. She knows now that other people see her mother’s behavior as abnormal.
And on the subject of Harleys, I’m still not quite sure how I feel about the new V-Rod. I like the V-Rods in general, but the new one, I just don’t know. Maybe it’s the name. V-Rod Muscle? After naming their others the Street Rod, Night Rod, Night Rod Special, it just doesn’t sound quite right. But then, calling it a Muscle Rod would definitely not help. I think I’ll call it that anyways.
And our new puppy is great!!!!! They told us she was doxie and terrier. Over the last few days we have decided that she must be part Jack Russell. Fast, smart, and affectionate. Poor Wally is sooooooo tired tonight. This has been so much fun. Took her to the river today and it was all I could do to keep her out of it. She is too little for the current.
ahoy mates!
Aloha, ES!
I got so depressed reading through that Bayh post and comments that I went over to Craigslist and looked at cute kitten and puppy ads until I could come back to something a bit more uplifting.
Eureka!
This is cool!
es!
Hey, ES….. lots of depressing posts lately….. nice to just ease back.
Don’t Plame me!
Anyone been able to get The Wrecking Crew yet? I ordered it from Amazon today, but they say it won’t arrive til the 8th. Apparently being released tomorrow. It’s getting lots of hype on NPR and such. I know that IT will be depressing!
Pardon the bootleg cut.. It’s the best version on youtube.. The Decmberists are performing it this summer but the recordings are terrible.
Movie or book? Never heard of it.
OK time To Digg this post!

But, hey, just now I can hear the fireworks at the county fair…..end-of-the-night gala display. That’s nice.
((( ES )))
Evan can Bayh at the Moon, he ain’t nevvuh gonna be Veep …
Evenin’ all !
Ok… heading out now…. Nite everyone…
g’nite katymine
Oh right! I missed all of that.. but the book is on my list. It’s a big list.
Dear gawd, ES. That was terrible. SO UNLIKE your music!
Petrocelli.. I have one song for Evan.
I love Colin.. even though this was a rough early recording of this silly song.
Stay tuned.. I promise I will never post it again. *g*
Night katymine and HELLO PETRO!
okay!
If not Bye then who?
Excellent !
Ok, I think I’m starting to get hooked on this Hot File vlog.
And on a completely unrelated note, why are pirates called pirates?
That’s happening in the outer suburbs here, also gangs moving into cul-de-sacs. There have been pot-growing houses, big enterprises, for a few years as well.
This song is great! Do Joe and Valerie know about it?
((((( Loo Hoo )))))
Who’d you choose for BO’s running mate ?
Hi Loo Hoo! I wasn’t going to say anything about the recording, but I did hit F5 rather quickly after it started . . .
I have a long list, but I would change the question. If not a progressive then why not Hillary? And I am not now nor have I been a Clinton supporter for at least 12 years.
Hi Petro! I want John Edwards as VP.
I don’t know.. maybe we can get CHS or Jane to ask them. Someone who has their email addy.
((((( GDP )))))
He’s my choice as well, has that story been thoroughly debunked as yet ?
It sure seems like a hatchet job on Edwards’ chances as Veep …
Good evening and good nite.
Love you pups.
sunny
NEW song? Jebus, I played this version on my Paxcast months ago when recounting Obama’s PDX rally, and it was old then…
Hard to say, but not a senator whose seat isn’t totally safely democratic. hc shhhh
G’nite Sunny !
See, I tend to agree. Hillary can bring the votes and the experience (well, she talks like it and has been around far longer than BO). I can’t think of anyone who can bring those votes, and I think we’re all being naive if we don’t realize that Obama can go down in flames just as fast at Kerry did.

Though someone today recommended Howard Dean, and while the right hates him, I think he’s pretty cool…….I’d be more likely to happily pull that lever if he were on the ticket. Bayh, not so much.
See my comment @ 33 … has that Edwards story been debunked ?
Howard Dean would be great. And he has no problem taking on the repugs.
You know, if it weren’t for Elizabeth, I’d say go with Edwards. If McCane decided he wanted to make an issue of it, we could discuss his abandoning his injured wife for Cindy Lou. Who is McCane going to choose as his running mate?
Obama is pure as the driven snow on that front.
g’nite sunny
Cool.
I agree but I think Dean has to lead the Dems through the 2010 and 2012 elections, where they will increase their majorities in both Houses
Anybody see this…?
What about Elizabeth … her terminal illness ? She will be the first one on the News shows talking about how she is encouraging John to take the Veep nomination, and I hope & pray that she beats this thing.
Nope. I’m guessing the story is true only because Edwards hasn’t fought it and nobody is talking about it except at Wonkette.
I think I can write this guy off and go back to concentrating on Joe Wilson.
fuck! fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!
How many assaults and drug arrests at Sturgis this year?
-G
As if they all went to Sturgis to see Mccain.
Meh, I ain’t too worried about the Biker demographic, they will sober up in a few days.
I don’t know.. Joe may know where you blog. /s
You sure about that…? ;-)
I don’t think the story has been debunked. Unrelated but some folks at TPM (and Nancy Pelosi) have kicked around the idea of nominating Chet Edwards. He’s been in the House since ‘91. Pretty good voting record, 100 percent rating by NARAL.

With that, I’m out. Night to all.
Did he show up in his $520 shoes? And did he bring Meghan to compete in the Ms. Buffalo Chip Beauty pageant?
Karel, a commentator on KGO and gay activist, has said all along that Obama can’t win because he is black. I refused to believe his arguments. I wanted America to be better than that. Now I wonder.
I was thinking their game plan is to ignore it and hope that it blows into oblivion … if they go on TV and reject it, that just gives the story more legs.
John McCain was warmly recieved at a Girls Gone Wild shoot at a bar called Jugs and Thugs…..
-G
There we go. Cindy Loo as Miss Buffalo Chip. Perfect! New nickname!
Good night ratfood. I’ve just seen you around for a week or two, but I appreciate your comments.
and then, he muttered the c word under his old man breathe. (I can say that cause I am semi-old)
McCain then got a Straight Talk Express tramp stamp tattoo.
-G
Perfect, keep sticking those $500 dollar shoes in yer mouth, Miss Buffalo Chip it is then.
I think the story is true, and that the press is being kind to Elizabeth. Hope I’m wrong…
ROFL … ((( GregB )))
g’nite ratfood
As in Miss Buffalo C***?
Drat … I was kinda hoping they’re aware of John’s skill as an attorney and aren’t printing anything because they can’t triple confirm it …
And he’ll regret it in the morning.
Lots of domestic abuse connected with that contest. Either way, I still want pics of him trying to ride a Night Rod Special. Though the crowd at Sturgis isn’t really full of V-Rod fans. Nothin’ but low, slow and ugly for them. Maybe that’s why they like McCain!
I mean what do I know, but we’ve all seen Edwards pissed off. If this were not true, he be unhinged.
Did Miss Buffalo Chip enter a Wet tee Shirt contest too?
That’s how ya get votes from Drunken Bikers, surprised Mr. Straight Talk didn’t think of that one while he was pandering.
I’m not familiar with Sturgis, but it sounds kind of rough and tumble! Bet the secret service folks were freaking!
All I know is the Enquirer was the original paper who ran the story.. But McClatchy picked it up, so it may have some merit.
Hell, I’m surprised he didn’t offer up his daughter.
Ha! I don’t think the wet tshirt contest is for 55 year olds somehow!
Actually, I think he’s more likely to quietly go about preparing a Libel Suit against the Enquirer … and given his reputation, I think other media outlets are staying clear …
DOn’t be so sure.
But I actually believe that Colin Powell, in his better days!, could have won. Particularly if he’d been Bush’s VP rather than the Cheney-devil. He had … oh, what did they used to say, gravitas. I don’t think it will be because he’s black that Obama may not win but that he is unknown and is too smooth by half with no real record to back him up.

I hope that he’ll step up after the convention….start talking real sense.
But Cindy has perky tits cause they ain’t real. Nothing about that woman is real. Cept her husband is a real asshole.
I can see a lot of folks here are unfamiliar with Bikers.
I have seen plenty of crazy 55 year old biker chicks whip ‘em out.
Hey Busted, please check your email! I got newz.
55 seems about the average age, from the pictures I’ve seen of Sturgis. From what I saw, it was like Ft. Lauderdale during spring break, only everyone was middle aged, on motorcycles, and in South Dakota.
((Sunny))
i don’t think her bazoom is anywhere near 55 years old… the skin may be but doubt the insides are not enhanced
LOL … ((( mary ))) … you’re a real treasure !
New McCain commercial?
Hey, Michelle - what’re you packin”?
Apparently I run with the wrong crowd, BK! ;-)
Well, I sure hope you’re right. I can’t imagine what things must be like in their home if not. Somehow, I imagine Elizabeth ultimately welcoming the baby girl into the family.
OMG. I’m sure they have separate bedrooms. The very thought is revolting. But they do have children…
Thanks.
I have to tell you guys what I did today. I scared myself witless. I was at Target shopping for new dishes. I witnessed a mother haul off and smack a child in the mouth. The girl was probably around 12 or 14. She almost feel on the floor and started to cry. The horrid mother then said, “I don’t know what you think you problem is”. Then I said, “I don’t know what YOU think your problem is lady.” Then she comes at me wagging her finger and saying that it wasn’t my business. I told her it was my business and every body else’s when a child is being abused and that she was a bad parent. Then I turned and walked away. My knees were knocking. I thought it was important that the kid knew someone witnessed a crime.
I find it hard to believe that the MSM would give a care about Elizabeth, if this story had legs (sorry, bad pun)
G’nite all … gotta be up early to enjoy the summer while it lasts …
Not Workplace Friendly!
Whoa..the fingering and strumming are well coordinated…maybe a touch of satire is intended. Yoo funny.
I guess I don’t live in the real world. I’m 55 and it would be a cold day…but then I never would have been in a contest like that.
Long live Miss Buffalo Chip!
You rabid lamb, you!
g’nite petro
ohmygawd, mary - good for you for standing up for that child
grrrrrrrrrrr. where is my bone.
{{{{{{{ Mary }}}}}}}
Well Done, Mary ! If the mother does that in public, I can imagine what goes on behind closed doors.
That’s it! Angry black bitch.
On the other hand, the one kid that I’ve seen looks absolutely nothing like ol’ Johnny. Maybe she shopped around for a better product.
Sorry, the coding didn’t take. This is a burlesque performance about W at: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BIl2BdiGsSA
ABB is a great blog - i read her daily.
I wonder how McCain treats his adopted black kid. Can’t you just see him and Cindy sitting around the kitchen table and planning his first campaign. I won’t if that is when they figured that having a black child would help them out. I don’t think they do anything out of the goodness of their hearts.
did I say hearts?
You’re also not a biker. And you’re not at Sturgis. Which probably has a lot to do with it.
Mary! Good for you. It really takes strength to step up in a situation like that, but the daughter probably sees things in a new light. She knows now that other people see her mother’s behavior as abnormal.
Night, Petro. Hope you’re right.
And all that time I thought I missed something inappropriate in the video up top. *g*
McCain and Obama will run and they both get in the whitehouse. They shoot three pointers for the presidency. McCain gets to shoot from the foul line.
What do you mean? What kid?
And on the subject of Harleys, I’m still not quite sure how I feel about the new V-Rod. I like the V-Rods in general, but the new one, I just don’t know. Maybe it’s the name. V-Rod Muscle? After naming their others the Street Rod, Night Rod, Night Rod Special, it just doesn’t sound quite right. But then, calling it a Muscle Rod would definitely not help. I think I’ll call it that anyways.
The Muscle Rod!

According to the stuff I read, Andrew Young admits to being the father. Dragging Edwards in looks a like Karl Rove maneuver.
And our new puppy is great!!!!! They told us she was doxie and terrier. Over the last few days we have decided that she must be part Jack Russell. Fast, smart, and affectionate. Poor Wally is sooooooo tired tonight. This has been so much fun. Took her to the river today and it was all I could do to keep her out of it. She is too little for the current.
