Andrew!

pitchforks!

These people simply aren’t living on the same planet we are. They actually seem to believe that their behavior is normal.

DELETED IN MODERATION I think we really need to convince these economic royalists that we are serious and mean business.

~~~ModNote: Edited for content. No fantasy violence please.~~~

No, they are living on planet Rich, where they are entitled to do whatever the fuck they want. I think we need to introduce them to the planet Earth, where they can sell pencils on the street corner.

Digg, baby, Digg!

Don’t forget the fine coating of manure on those freshly sharpened tines.

Evening watertiger!

I do not understand people who simply, purely, do not give a shit what people think of them.

let’s keep ourselves content wtih pitchforks please – other implements of rebellion (including the classic french) will result in moderation

no fantasy violence please

Thanks, neuro
Dugg

Yes’m.

I didn’t think there were any pitchforks left, what with the folks at the McCain/Palin rallies scooping them all up!

Fiskars Brand ™ pitchforks!

Stupid twits don’t care because they don’t have to deal with the little people. Everyone they know is just like them.

(Sigh) These people are managing one of my retirement accounts, which survives thanks to the bailout. What is so irritating is that this is not the first executive perk they’ve been flouting. Maybe future generations of children will learn the definition of chutzpah by reading about AIG executives.

Bob in HI

No torches?

Are torches allowed?

All in harmless fun, of course

Nothing like having a politically ambitious AG to go after the fat cats. Seems to me I’ve heard that song before, it’s like an old familiar tune, I know it well, …

what is your pleasure, SD?

can’t have us roaming the countryside in the dark neuro

Hi suzanne. How are you this eve?

She’s referring a reference I made to Robespierre’s favorite toy (which got me moderated).

recovering from last nite – how about you?

Gus Newbrough? “Brains are the cheapest thing to buy.” Too bad rich people get to used to hearing what they want to hear.
Pride it seems does not goeth before a fall.

Just got meself a Vernor’s, thank you. Do think I’ll get back up and get the last snort out of the Glenlivet jug though, now that I think about it.

$86,000 on a partridge hunt at an English country manor as the feds gave their struggling firm billions to stay afloat.

Why can’t they go o the park and shoot pigeons? For $86,000 you would think that they were paying to shoot a man in the face.

Aw, man, I’m a history nut. *g*

Pigeons is fer feedin’, not shootin’.

Sorry Suz I wrote that before I read your comment.

Choose just the right word or phrase fer yer drinkin’ game, didja?

good. had a slow day. now watching baseball and surfing the net

Ok but how come it costs $ 86,000 to shoot a partridge?

yesterday was her birthday :)

i was not drinking – i was working backstage with the rest of the mods – i think i need a new refresh button on my keyboard and my poor mouse ball is sluggish on scroll

There was a couple of years ……. soon after I moved back to Arizona……. where I went from an employment record of two jobs in 19 years…….. to having 5 employers in 18 months and getting laid off 3 times….. ALL health insurance companies…..

it is really great when you are hired on January 3rd and in March they are closing our office and the grand pooba is making kazillions or brazillions….. after all it was “just a business” decision…….

We the Utilization/Case Manager Nurses had to try to save every buck we could helping our members BUT then who knew the CEO and the board were out there having that much fun…..

AIG Asset Sales Going Slowly

And, of course, the ex-ceo Greenberg recently took the 5th in a lawsuit regarding AIG and a Berkshire company.

Also note the new ‘hands out’ being put forth by the monolines at the link provided.

“In outer space, no one can hear you scream.” ; the powers that be apparently can’t hear you on planet Earth either.

How many miles u got on your mouse ball?

it turns out the “partridges” were lawyers

more clicks than the $s in the bailout ecahn

Well, you have to pay for someone to carry, load, aim, and tell you to shoot your gun. Then you have to pay someone to find and pick up any birds you might accidentally shoot. Then someone else to carry your sorry ass back the stately country manse, after all.

Crimony – Boston ties it up with the Rays 7-7.

Those of us waiting for the game to end to watch our recordings of Keith and Rachel’s shows are still waiting.

Go Rays! (I’m an underdog type o’ gal).

That prolly cost ‘em $1.98 each with a refundable $10 rental fee for the shotgun, minus cost of ammunition. The rest was the ritzy hotels, spas, booze, hookers, etc.

Oh, that’s right. I forgot. Senior moment.

Dugg your Digg Neuro!!

WELL????

First class airfare OR chartered plane…….

my finger is frozen til I talk with my benefactor

Dam you can get killed that way!!

she indulged in Macing lowlifes in her Kevlar jumpsuit

i try not to work on my b/day but the forkers in charge of scheduling did not consult me when they scheduled the forking debate.

So…… well what can we do about this?
Is it the big foam finger pointing “lookie here” or do we need to flood congress with out outrage?

Can we ramp up the outrage meter and get some action?

Hey Suzanne,
hope all is well with you.
can we test the limits of moderation?

no fantasy violence please

it’s been established that (fantasy) pitchforks (and presumably torches) can be tolerated.
how about tar and feathers?
as in: “AIG execs should be tarred, feathered and run out of town on rails.”
Bless you and all the mods for your even tempered wisdom. ;-)

OT
I think this is fairly important – The Nashville and Memphis newspapers endorsed Obama. WOW

I am calling my Congresswoman’s Congressional office tomorrow.

Just before I go to do volunteer work in her reelection office.

Alright just who IS that scheduler?? I need to have a word with him/her and give them a piece of my mind *&^&%*&*^^$$@#^^*&*%%@$&)*% and (*^^$^*%@$&&(&*&%
And don’t do it again or else!!!

Ya….. felt the same in 2004…… election day was on my B’day….. was managing a Kerry GOTV phone bank …….. and at might night on Nov 1st…… as we kept entering data to update the database…… it was my wish that Kerry would deliver my B’day present……

As a kid….. always associated my b’day with the AZ state fair and the Presidential election…..

how many electoral votes does Tennessee have?

as I recall, even Tennesseean Al Gore could not carry Tennessee

Does anyone know how much Darth paid for his shoot the lawyer in the face hunting trip? Did Darth pay for his friends medical expenses or did the tax payers?
How much was Darth’s hunting trip with Scalia?

You made a cutting remark?

Snark?

I missed Halloween by 2 days. Just as well. Wouldn’t have wanted to put up with all the witch jokes.

Eleven

when lawyers negotiate settlement agreements like that, they generally provide that the terms remain confidential

My b-day being May 29th is always associated with the Memorial weekend and the beginning of Summer!! SO I always a great b-Day(:>))

perhaps i should have qualified that with non-lethal implements of rebellion…

tar and feathering has quite an american tradition if i remember my history correctly

I want an itemized list sworn to in court:)

So we share a birthday? the 2nd?

I suggested the Marie Antoinette reeducation program.

go read the wapoo’s endorsement

sounds pretty much like the straight scoop to me

I think, but with these assholes, I am not sure.

Other side: Oct 29.

I did. Yes, we can!

Have you settled in yet? How’s the new house and view?

Ah….. now need to put it on my calendar…. ;)

BTW did I tell everyone that my parents house is going to done before election day?
Will be heading up there again to help them get moved over to the house……

Think I will make it an early night. Take care and enjoy the snark.

Tarring & Feathering

First degree burns are sustained after a split second contact with a material that is about 70 °C (160 °F). The same is also sustained after thirty seconds of contact with 55 °C (130 °F) material. The tar of that period was of such a quality that it only melted at about 60 °C (140 °F) but was often heated to higher temperatures. At temperatures of 60 °C (140 °F) burns can be created with a three second contact.[citation needed]

Furthermore, after the tar had cooled, it and the feathers would have to be peeled or rubbed off with lard, usually taking a good deal of skin with them. These would leave ugly scars and infection could set in. Depending on how “complete” the job was done, there was also a risk of heat stroke as the tar would act as a strong insulator and prevent the skin from breathing.

Sure would ruin your day IIRC

It’s time for a musical break!

Where is the outrage! Where is the GOP on this these CEO’s are wasting taxpayers money…or does John think that $86,000 is a legit expense?
How much does it cost to hire a plane to go wolf hunting in Alaska?

Nite DrDick

Shit… and I got moderated the other night for “bit&h”

tar and feathering has quite an american tradition

thanks for allowing…

What would the modern version be?
Superglue and shredded documents?

g’nite dr dick

Ok now I feel stupid WT….. I thought this was a spoof….. now I see that it is true on a headline over a huffpo….

I withdraw my request.

ouch – i see now why we no longer do that

so lets keep with pitchforks and lanterns please

Have you rocked out to Brother Paul in there yet?

*head hanging in shame* we missed the gilda joke dood

My son once got his fingers stuck together with superglue. Turns out, right on the package it sez that nail polish is the solvent. I laughed a lot before I read the package, though.

Hiya Synoia,
And welcome to our crazy OT Late Nite!

nail polish remover

Sure enough…
Elmore might come down to help with the move so he could be there Tues-Thurs…. and then he gets to fly to AZ …… see him twice in the same month….. woohoo
AND then you too!

shoulda considered the source ;~P

I’ll let it slide this time

I never hold a grudge

…for more than a coupla days…

Thank you. Yes, nail polish remover.

In the John Adams mini-series the first one had tar & feathering in Boston…… it was pretty graphic…..

That was me.

lightweight

Woo Hoo BoSox won and stay alive for gamer six(:>))

we are a team lurk

Rays were ahead 7-0 at the 7th inning stretch. Red Sox won 8-7.

Time for me to climb into my tree.

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.

Namaste

g’nite sd

Hardball on MSNBC

Clip from last night’s debate

John McCain [fingerquotes] “health”

He practically spits the word out

I wish John McCain the very best of “health”

…but I never forget.

;~P

Ain’t it grand? Btw, take a gander, SD at M&C or Oxdown… Aloha!

nite SD! sleep well in your tree!!

Aloha, Ya’ll! I was too bummed for awhile there…! ;-)

yeah, it’s very easy to stick yourself together with s-glue.
don’t even think about using it without a vat of nail polish remover on hand.

aloha ct

???? wouldn’t be because of the BOSOX being so far behind??

Gordon Liddy connection and John McCain – right now on Letterman…oh man, Letterman is going to punish him. CBS.

zzzzz!

How’s the Oregon coast doing?

Dang Cardiac Sox…! ;-)

still have a couple hours before it shows here on the west coast :(

a little baseball cake this evening. enjoy boston fans!

g’nite dr bong

I had to flip channels when Letterman was letting him whine about how nasty Obama is.

Seems to me the citizens are entitled to have the executive suites and board rooms of our newly acquired investments refurnished with GI packages.

Let the partridge shooters enjoy metal desks and chairs.

forking gorgeous – took some pictures earlier – will have to upload them later tonight. more sunsets and clouds moving in

That looks good!

ack! i missed letterman cause i was watching baseball.

Nice Betsy!!

Bed time for me. G’nite everyone.

Sorry! It is good, and can I just come and live with you there?

g’nite ecahn

It was interesting to listen to progressive radio today…… and the most outraged callers about the “Health” comments were men……. many of them who experienced the fear about loosing their wife/girlfriend due to a high risk pregnancy…..

and give up watching shows before me?

When is the last time I served an ugly cake??

*** setting expression to glare ***

nite ecahn (:>)

sleep well.

Heh, I enjoyed the other one you posted at the Beach House, too…! ;-)

I think it is fitting that CNN spent three or four years grooming Glenn Beck and paying him far more than his paltry ratings were worth only to get kicked in the teeth as he slides his racist, pasty ass over to Fox.

Glenn Beck finally did something I can commend him for.

-G

Aloha, eCAHN!

Did you see the speeches from the Al Smith white tie dinner, on Rachel Maddow’s show? Now THAT was worth watching shows before PST!

He bailed on HNN…? Hopefully, they’ll put a decent individual in that slot now! Too bad Nancy Grace didn’t follow suit…!

oops, this to suz at 133

the speaches are being rerun on Larry King here on the west coast… And Bill Maher is with him, now his comments will be worth hearing..

i missed it – am gonna watch the videos in the downstairs post when it settles down later tonight.

She’s no where in Beck’s league. Plus she gives $ to Democrats so I give her a bit of a break.

Beck is smarmy, slimy, dishonest and dumb as a sack of hammers.

-G

Whoa! Indeed…

Gonna try and get some sleep.

Can y’all try to cyber-soothe the spinal pain?

“Trying Betsy” really, wishes for pain free.
Chris

*hands on monitor*

pain free sleep wishes tex

Thinks Suz & Chris.

Digital pain killer on the way.

-G

ZOMG! the snl opening skit on their thur snl show portrayed mccain as a crazy old man. a crazy old man.

his ‘i screwed up’ half assed apology to dave tonight about lying must not have gotten the results mcgeezer was looking for.

i can’t wait for sp’s appearance on snl this weekend.

CNN may be reading the writing on the wall and thinking to tweak their image a bit.

pain free sleep Betsy:>)

Beyond brutal, Suz.

i wonder if he is gonna go on tds and try to make jon understand that it was a ’screw up’ and he’s sorry.

i won’t be satisfied until mcliar says i’m sorry i lied to dave

{{Newt}} Hey is this right?

I like Letterman. And his revenge for the fuckery is to make McCheese appear on the show and grovel.
Stewart would have to stoop pretty low to find a reason to invite him on on the first place, and IMO, Jon is through with McCain.

Now, watch him prove me wrong…

hey that guy – nice cake

You have my Pain Free wishes… Aloha!

Hola, Chris!
Yep.

:-D

I’m looking for that guy…

Did anyone see these pics of McInsane…? They’re hilarious…

crap.. i meant tune… i’ve got cake on the mind obviously

Oh! And there he is! That Guy! Hey!

Hello dear friend,
I can’t open anything here.

Freaking GREAT CT!!!

Good evening Yacht Owners here at the AIG regatta. It has been a stressful evening planning for my next cruise through the South Pacific Islands. It was so hard on me giving up the Caribbean Islands itinerary. Do wish I could take all of you unemployed blokes on the cruise of a lifetime as we race through a following sea breaking record after record to win our next trophy. Be looking for you all out on the briny.
Tomorrow will be dedicated to hiring a crew of Nubian slaves as it is beneath our dignity to do that polish, scraping and painting maintenance which will be assigned as part of the ships discipline. The last crew chidingly referred to me as Captain Blye. That will not be tolerated.
All of us yachting friends here at the Lake want to thank American taxpayers for their generosity in bailing us bankers out. I know it was a tough call considering the poverty that America faces now so we are off to chase the American dream of opulence and excess. See you suckers later.
Bon Voyage!

And they aren’t photo-shopped…! ;-)

Sorry! Just did find them… please ignore old angry old woman.

You can’t navigate away from here…?

late late nite upstairs

Ah Oh….. Sheriff Joe raided the Mesa City Library for undocumented workers….. a fired Mesa city employee called the Sheriff’s immigration hotline…… Now the Sheriff’s office is now having a fight with another city in the valley…… first Guadalupe and now Mesa……

Take heart, katymine. A real DOJ is on the way.

There is a site where people the world over can vote for Obama or McCain. This is very interesting. I did not crunch the numbers but it appears to me that the count is about 90 to 95% for Obama. How about adding your vote and ramping up the numbers? Link:

Link disappeared! I’ll try again.
