Dear Penthouse, I’m allegedly a contributor at what passes for one of the nation’s leading conservative publications — especially without the New York Sun around any more. I never thought this would happen to me, but…
Sincerely, Rich "O-face" Lowry.
John Derbyshire, of course, would be upset about Lowry stealing his act — except, he’s still depressed about the deflowering of Bristol Palin at such a prime age.

Aloha, Attaturk!
Dang, I usually only zed on your early morn posts, Attaturk! ;-)
Has Lowry shown his face in public after this? Will he show up at church tomorrow morning? Has he issued a statement? Enquiring minds. BTW, his wiki has already been updated for this event.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Lowry
Now, Rachel I can masturbate to, if I’m so inclined to do so…! ;-)
From that wikipedia entry:
But they did not add it makes him horny.
good news is that it rained a bit on dear sarah over at the Home depot center. *g*
You’ll have no quarrel with Pat Buchanan, his leg tingles when Sarah Appalin’ appears …
Creepy pundits! TMI First Tweety’s leg and now this. Where are standards and practices or at least the taste police when you really need them.
Or when he faces off with Rachel…! ;-)
I may have to scratch out my eyeballs after that visual. thanks
Nah, Pat hates girls like Rachel, who are intelligent and don’t act subservient to a man …
Care for some diluted Cranberry Juice ? *g*
You’ll have no quarrel with Pat Buchanan, his leg tingles when Sarah Appalin’ appears …
Watching Pat Thursday night was pretty deeply disturbing.
On the other hand, you kinda have to give it up the old guy – I never saw an orgasm last that long.
He was still comin’ hard on the JoeScar MorningPuke show the next morning…
yes please, but don’t foul it up with the cranberry juice *g*
can you make it a double Petro
Heh, she always seems to get a rise outta him…! ;-)
Rich Lowry is I believe also a fill in for David Brooks from time to time on the NewsHour Friday wrap up.
… on its way …
Speaking of creepy, nasty Repukes, why is sweaty, doughy Bill Bennett on my teevee trying to appear impartial with his equally-creepy band of neo-conservatives??? Yucko!
ROFL … I guess his Doctor said that V*agra was right for Pat …
Ewww … Bill and those A*PAC doods must be building even bigger Bunkers these days …
O/T I baked an apple cake for mr wobbs today
(sorry but I had to get the plethora of horrific images out of my head or the only sweetness mr will ever get is of the baking variety)
damn how is that for a random thought LOL
sorry, wobbs.
heh.
There is some crazy IT guy from Yale on there sputtering and blinking incessantly about all the democracy we created in Iraq. It looks like they just pulled him out of a dungeon and threw a suit on him. Disgusting and fucking brainwashed.
on the radio today I heard someone taling about a conversaiton overheard with mccain;
[someone] “why aren’t you going on the attack”
[mccain] “tune in tuesday”
hang on to hats, obama is gonna get a firestorm of false acusations (lies)
I sure hope he prepares for the onslaught
I thought that treating Sarah as a sex object was taboo! To quote future First Babe (or perhaps Second First Babe), Cindy McCain:
But then again, she did second Rush, who said:
by saying:
Perhaps Cindy is thinking of a “triple” with Sarah and Rich, while John chases anything in a skirt that passes by.
Ooooh … sending some Amaretto to accompany that …
We went to a nearby farm today … they make the best Apple Pie I’ve ever had … warming it up and opening the Ice Cream … anyone want some ?
Apple cake? Don’t ya mean apple pie?
Didja say “Yale” or “Jail” … sorry, that old joke will never die …
They already started. Did you hear Palin today in California?
Yes,, please. It would make a great dessert. I just finished cleaning up after dinner. *holding out plate*
Dood, haven’t you ever had Apple Cake ?
No. What did she say? I know they’re reviving “Obama hangs out with terrorists” meme because he was at a meeting with Ayers a couple of times.
Wow, you guys, and wobbly…is this the nasty, all pent-up, Saturday, can I say it, circle? You guys are cracking me up. :)
eCAHN !
Extra generous helping for you !
The kiddies are goin’ crazy … they’re putting 3 different flavors of Ice Cream on their Pie …
I think he’s thinking of American Pie??
So I guess you’re not going to have leftovers that I can stick in my new freezer. :(
demi !
I Hope those lovely Nails aren’t cracking … *g*
Can’t say that I have… Streusels, pies, etc…!
I can’t remember, what was the movie with the teens and the one boy with the apple pie?
… tossing a coupla tubs Haagen Dazs your way …
I think he’s thinking of American Pie??
well, it certainly didn’t take you long to get in the spirit, eh?
Welcome to the Detention Room!
Adding to my “Thinks to bring to Paradise” list right away …
Oy, James Hanson is talking about global warming on cspan2. Way too depressing. Gonna switch channels.
SOME of us are watching football!~
You got it demi. American Pie.
If ya ever make it this way…! 8-P
nope apple cake. Full of apples and cinnamon. mr’s favorite cake
After this past week? You kidding? Chewed to the nub.
But, the good news is we finished the screenplay and it’ll go out on Monday…to fabulous, famous people who will fall in love with it and then I’ll get a big fat check and then I can get my nails done again.
And, yes, boys and girls, there is sex in the movie.
Whatever you do, stay clear of CNN. It’s a creepzone.
Wow, such generosity. May I pour you a drink in return? It’s a local red wine (and I mean local, only about 4 miles away).
http://www.whitecliffwine.com/
But, I’m wearing More than a dunce hat.
Hey Jayt.
You made me look. For about 30 seconds.
Sorry.
Pureed apples?
You! But, if I remember correctly, isn’t there a lot of innuendo in football lingo?
I’m coming, just a little later than I’d planned …
I’m too old and too female to remember those kinds of details, nevertheless…
There’s a Bakery nearby that makes FAH- Bulous Apple Cake … can you make Pineapple Upside Down Cake … the best meditation teachers lurves that … *g*
“Men on Football” In Living Colour
Excellent ! Remember me when the Oscar Party draws near …
Mmmmm … thanks !
OSU/WI, Raven?
I’m coming, just a little later than I’d planned …
Please tell me you’re not still talking about Pat Buchanan – or Sarah….
LMAO … my fav part of that show …
Ecahn…I just opened a cheap ass bottle of merlot — not ripple, but gl*n *ll*n. It’s not bad. Goes with the soup I made with the morning.
I’m watching a clear and present danger…I know, I know, people here have teased me before for liking Tom Clancy stuff.
No, sliced apples. Here is a picture of an apple cake to help you visualize
Bucks 7-0
Illini 45 Meeechigan 20!!!!!
*spew* … dammit jayt, ya made me waste eCAHN’s good wine …
Men on Film was great too!
I loves Dick Butkus
ROFL I’m sure I have a killer recipe
It wasn’t as good as the book … Hunt For Red October & Patriot Games were terrific !
Yeehaw!
I-L-L….I-N-I
Clear & present danger on TV, or video? I just switched to CSI Miami on A&E. Got fires in the wood stove in the kitchen & in the parlor, where I am. Nice autumn evening. Sliver of moon but nice stars.
Oskeewow
That looks yummy.
Did you hear that the entire Wisconsin band was suspended?
Looks delish…! 8-)
NOTES The Wisconsin marching band has been suspended indefinitely while allegations of hazing, alcohol abuse and sexual misconduct are investigated. The band will not play Saturday during a nationally televised game between the host No. 18 Badgers and No. 14 Ohio State.
Yummy … add a steaming Macchiato on a frosty autumn evening … heavenly !
For enciting the “Jump Around” thingy? No I hadn’t heard about it.
Are you kidding? If all my dreams come true, we’ll need to fly you down here for some serious meditation.
But, of course.
Oh, I guess the “Jump Around” thingy pales in comparison to the real allegations.
Oh, geez, thank you for that.
I Just Sprung A Leak, I’m going to have to remember that line.
I’m watching the ‘Sausage Race’ at the Brewers/Phillies game…!
Wait a friggin minute! Hazing, alcohol and sex? Seriously? Isn’t that what college is about?
At one point there was so much bullshit in the student section that they filmed the entire section for the whole game and would bust people later. On the other hand, I saw the Dead in the field house in 70 and we had a rockin good time!
just bookmarked it WOBBS…my dear farmer buddy gave me a half a bushell of apples today from the fair
The Canadian version Starbucks is called “Second Cup” … some of them carry Apple Cake and
it is beyond words …
I’m watching the sausage race in Nashville as Vandy beats the weenies from Auburn!
In a haze I presume?
Off Wisconsin?
Evening, all-
demi, if you like Clancey, I think the best are from the mid Nineties: Debt of Honor and Executive Orders. They make one uninterrupted story, and are both excellent, with many echoes of the present.
Raven, did you see FL St vs. Miami?
No ‘ifs’, okay ?
Only say, “When all my dreams come true … “
AMC here, but we’re in different time zones…
I gotta a fire going in the big room, where I am.
Ah, this is pretty fabulous, I think.
I love nice vibes with merlot and good friends.
hehehe! One man’s sausage is another man’s weenie, or so I’ve heard.
Horton’s serves up some good java too…! ;-)

Apple pie, he? I’ll be making apple jelly tomorrow…

NOW VOYAGER …Davis …TCM….big wow
Be sure to bring some along … *g*
No defense. FL St wins in the end, but what a war.
Wait — this one should work.
Repping the straight tolerant guys, eh? *g*
Raven, have you seen this?

i’m sick – McCain’s part of the cover-up of Viet POWs never repatriated. By Sidney Schanberg
Heh, the Tigers have plenty of time to move the ball into FG range…!
speaking of submarines
Oh, yes, yes, yes…it was the wine. I’m usually Very Careful about the words I use.
It’s going to a head of production of a big studio and then on to a top name actress.
But, no one has to tell me how incredibly difficult this town is.
this looked amazing too
http://smittenkitchen.com/2008…..tter-cake/
Well I’ve lobbied against using this stuff because of the source (Ted Sampley et al) but given that they are cranking up the “Obama hangs with terrorists” I say let it rip.
HA, they are awful, they just punted.
I loved that movie
And Bette’s clothes
Yeah. As a Gator and USF Bulls fan it’s fun to watch two teams that I hate equally, and it be a good game.
BTW, FL/Ga is coming up, isn’t it?
Bowden needs to have a better season to keep up with JoePa’s winning record, and, Penn St is looking mighty good this season…!
That town is tough but you are tougher and you will reap a huge reward soon !
Raven, Yeah, but look who wrote this.
Hey, Raven, we must be having too much fun…(whispering…) there’s a new thread. ha.
Nov 2
great flick
Well, I personally don’t buy any of this POW/MIA stuff. They are DEAD just like the over 50,000 wwII pow/mia’s.
I want to read the full article in Rolling Stone about McBatShitCrazySaint. Lack of Character should be the title of it.
Are you now telling fortunes? ..holding out palm :)
2:16, Vandy downed a punt on the one. Rosta ruck War Eagle.
Yeah, they are now.
Off on the business of the Queen. See everyone later.
Pick Vandy, stick a fork in em.
Time will tell.
I’m trying so hard to be patient and all. But, it is what it is.
Great articles in Rolling Stone – and note – that’s what the youth are reading.
It did sound like one, didn’t it?
How are ya, sweetie?
Best wishes demi!
LOL … I get visions once in a while …
McCain’s Tax Returns Hide Gambling
stumble digg reddit del.ico.us news trust mixx.com

Senator John McCain is a gambler. If I’d known that right away I would have immediately seen what was wrong with his tax returns.
I am a tax attorney, so a tax return means more to me than it would to most. I reviewed McCain’s tax returns as a basic check on the candidates. You can look at McCain’s 2006 and 2007 tax returns for yourself. The tax returns are below a lot of verbiage about his charitable activities.
According to a New York Times article of September 27, 2008 “For McCain and Team, a Host of Ties to Gambling,” reported by Jo Becker and Don VanNatta Jr., McCain gambled at the MGM Grand in May 2007.
Apparently McCain is a habitual gambler; he usually plays craps. He even says, “I am a gambling man.”
Gambling has tax implications. According to IRS Publication 17, “Your Federal Income Tax”, 2007 edition, page 89 “Gambling Winnings. You must include your gambling winnings in income on Form 1040, line 21. If you itemize your deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040), you can deduct gambling losses you had during the year, but only up to the amount of your winnings.” In other words, you can’t subtract your losses from your winnings and just not report. You have to report the winnings, and then claim the losses.
But McCain’s tax returns say nothing about gambling winnings or losses.
As a casino gambler, McCain is likely to have lost more than he won. But by not reporting his winnings, the different percentage calculations built into the tax calculation are thrown off, and if he gambled much at all, he has underpaid his tax. The amount of understatement of tax may be minimal, but that’s not the point.
The real purpose of preparing his tax return and omitting the gambling winnings is so that people would not know how much he gambled. If he won $200,000 playing craps in Las Vegas, it would make a difference in the way voters viewed his suitability as a presidential candidate.
see my 140
Thank you.
It’s like having kids. You do the best you can and then try to let it go.
Yeah, right. Easily said. Ha.
Just great, thanks and waiting and hoping for rain. We are starved for it up here in NoCal. How are you?
My disdain for him knows no bounds.
I’m in the same boat as you, vis a vis getting my books published.
The difference between success and failure is perseverance !
It’s been drizzling all day here in Los Angeles. And, it is So Nice, especially after all the heat we’ve had.
I’m doing pretty well. I guess I should go upstairs…I mean here on the thread. :)
Speaking of the Stone, this is not to be missed:
MAD DOG PALIN
I’ve been called tenacious before.
Grrrrrrrr.
That’s the spirit !
LOL! That is one way to describe her.
hold it dear to my heart
She does have lovely nails, also.
Please substitute etc. with also. Get with it, also.
{{{{{ Loo Hoo }}}}}
You, Petrocelli, also.
((((Hugs!))))
Also, new thread, also.
You said “Also”, can I have another wine? If I had had a drinking word that night, it would have been also.
Heya Loo. Been thinking of you and hoping all is scrumcious.
Move over Rich. Did any of you watch PBS’s McLaughlin show last night??
Pat Buchanan has it bad for her too.
Nothing like a subservient silly female to get a Right winger excited- that goes for the women too. HA!
Buchanan was almost ready to blow, and so was Monica Crowley and the old perverted closeted KKK fart McLauglin himself…. eeewwwwwwww!
But thankfully he only has a 25 minute show.
Then I wondered what Coulter thinks ….EEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW???
Leave Rich “Fap-Fap” Lowry alone!
-G
Rich should take Keith’s advice and sit back away from the TV when Palin is on. If only because Palin is so damn firtile. You want a pregnant Vice President sending the security detail for that undescribable urge of pickles and peanut brittle ice cream?
Besides, Lowrey has been seen at Palin’s campaign stops. You can’t miss him. He’s the one in the trench coat.
Or is that why all Palin’s security detail are wearing trench coats?
yeah gang. keep it down, will ya?! yer botherin’ th’old fella. *wink*
um. i was too stunned by that harpy in bright green and 50’s hair-twirls ta’ notice. Is she real or a plastic blow-up doll?
I thot McL. looked ill. Not up ta’ this kinda rough play. At one point, he was leaning wayyyy over to his right, away from the green thing, and the cameraperson (gotta be correct here) followed. Next shot, he was sitting up nice and straight.
I tell you, Apaulin’s gonna RUIN this country, just absolutey destroy all our dignitude completely.
I did mention I have an ear infection, didn’t I? downstairs somewhere in lalaland… That should ’scuse all sins. Any way, I won’t remember them.
oops. yer welcome to add an o as in OH MY!, please!
thanks much. I’d hate to fall to a mcsane level of discourse.
