morning BT

Mornin’ Blue Texan and Elliot =

did everyone see Dems picked up another House seat yesterday - from Idaho ?!?!? (Walt Minnick ID-01) pick up of 24 to date

Morning BT.

I’ve dubbed the next year or so, and the R civil wars that will take place, a schadenfreudefest for Ds. Another commenter (sorry I’ve forgotten who) wanted to know if you served the same kind of food & drink as for Octoberfest. Sounds good to me. Marion might have to change her breakfast menu somewhat. Is there an analogue to bloody marys and mimosas that involved beer?

Woohooo.

We will know that the Republics have decided to try to repair their party when they no longer acknowlege the existance of the Wasilla Hillbillies.

Palin was so dumb that they being blinded by her shininess they failed to see it. Just another empty shiny object.

Yesterday I saw that buddies McShame and Grahm got in McShames gold toyota and drove to Cindy’s “cabin” in Sedona.

Good morning, BT and pups. Still basking in the relief of knowing we are about to rejoin the civilized nations.

I’m torn on Palin. One part of me wants her to be the 2012 R nominee because she might not break 40% in the general election. The other part of me wants her just to disappear…

Good morning pups.

Is there an analogue to bloody marys and mimosas that involved beer?

I used to have a girlfriend who loved to mix beer and ginger ale half and half. It was quite good, if I can remember…

R caller bringing up missing W on keyboards in last transition. Someone will believe anything & believe it forever.

I think ultimately she’ll go for the gold and take a gig on teeVee.
and then flame-out into obscurity.

Hmmmm. Might work.

Mornin’, BT and pups.

How do I get on RedState’s hit list?

bother, I missed the reply button
I think ultimately she’ll go for the gold and take a gig on teeVee.
and then flame-out into obscurity.

I sure hope McClatchy is right:

Corporate America enjoyed favorable treatment under the Bush administration for almost eight years and for most of the era of Republican control of Congress from 1995 to 2007.

Now unions may gain a stronger hand, and business is bracing for greater financial regulation, worker-friendly policies and an emphasis on social spending.

mornin all
so ALL THE JEWELRY…..Pandora Palin bought…will she have to give it back…she is a thief

I liked the part about how peevish & pouty she because when they muzzled her or corrected her. And I think back about what TheraP said about her personality disorder, among which is needing constant attention & adulation. I don’t think she’ll fade into obscurity willingly. I think she’ll keep making a spectacle of herself as long as anyone will listen, and that will be a long time into the future. She’s no Dan Quayle.

queer little bunch no?

In Ireland a beer (not Guiness) was mixed with either red or white lemonade. Called a Shandy

One of the crazies just called WJ ranting about how Clinton’s WH sabatoged (sp?) the smooth transition of bush (she’s probably never heard of the word *I* don’t remember how to spell *g*) listing in great detail removing the “w” from computers, greasing doorknobs, etc, etc and *demanded* the two guests tell the truth about what happened.

Dog, the stoopid, it burns!

That would be nice, where’s the extinguisher???

I think that she’s a full blown confrontationist, à la cheney. She’ll push her agenda, at any fucking cost. There’s a base to energize and brainwash, you know!

“Todd, not those pants, the ones from Saks”

she is really so much like W without the pedigree….stab ya in the back cheerleader type

that sounds good

You have to remember these are folks who believe the earth is flat and that Adam and Eve rode around on dinosaurs.

Called a Shandy

That’s what she called it, thanks for reminding me. She was from Québec City, and barely spoke a word of english. There used to be a big Irish population in that city.

yes despite this Obie WON,we bloggies will have to keep the dialogue…HONEST

good news cbl
last I heard Franken was up by a few too.

I have those same mixed feelings, but then I remember that I once hoped the Republicans would be so stupid as to nominate that B Movie actor for president. So, I hope Sarah Palin and Joe the Not So Plumberish disappear from the public scene.

Morning folks; it’s 50 and sunny here in Upstate NY this morning. I rode my bike to work. If Redstate has anything to do with it, we’ll be dealing with Palin 24/7 for the next 4 years. Yuck.

Although Ted Stevens holds a small lead in Alaska and is the favorite to retain his seat, the outcome is not as inevitable as it might appear to be. Stevens currently holds a lead of 3,353 votes, or about 1.5 percent of the votes tallied so far. But, there are quite a large number of ballots yet to count. According to Roll Call, these include “at least 40,000 absentee ballot, 9,000 early voting ballots, and an undetermined number of questionable ballots”.

from BT’s 538 link

eCAHN @ 10 -

Beat me to it; do they not make you want to beat your head against the nearest hard object?

please just dont let her anywhere near the Senate

You betcha. Leaves me close to speechless.

i have beef stew in the crockpot…………..oh it smells yummy

is it too early to eat beef stew?

Very good point. It would be best for her just to disappear, but that really doesn’t seem to fit her personality, as noted above.

now that the election is over, i’m actually much more concerned about what pelosi is going to be doing next than i am about palin.

Dems lower expectations

Democratic leaders are tamping down on expectations for rapid change and trying to signal they will place a calm hand on the nation’s tiller.

“The country must be governed from the middle,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday. Repeating themes from election night, she said she plans to emphasize “civility” and “fiscal responsibility.”

(link from CasualObserver)

Wonder what the Witch Doctor is up to?

Will the diet police come to your door if you do?

Every time I see a picture of those two and LIEberputz, I am reminded of three Komodo dragons at a kill, particularly the wattles on LIEberLIEr.

Pelosi is a walking, talking example of the Peter Principle.

irony

Obie lives on HYDE PARK BLVD

FDR house called HYDE PARK

i could be like a frontier lady,and just crack some crusty bread ,and slurp a little…”g”
i have a BAD cold(2 weeks)

hahahahaahahahahahahaha

didnt get to splain to you the other day…I HAVE no fear of dairy…(fool for sour cream) but i WOORY ,about other peeps arteries…mine seem to be protected by high familial HDL

I’m afraid our schedenfreude is going to be pretty brief. They day after Clinton’s election in ‘92, I sat near two guys, in the cafeteria at work, who were talking about impeachment. It never let up. I expect Limbaugh, Fox, and moron callers to Washington Journal to accelerate their “criticisms” in about two days.

But for now, to quote Jackie Gleason, “How sweeeet it is!

OK wherd everybody go?

Did you read Josh on Summers?

Honorable pedigree that.

we can aalways say…hay,your inner biggot is showing,cover it up…”g”

The problem being the oppo never *is* speechless…..tho’ that might be a very good thing to induce gene-wise.

I used to have a girlfriend who loved to mix beer and ginger ale half and half.

It’s called a shandy. Usually it’s beer and lemonade, but the non-alcoholic portion is flexible.

I woke up with a bad cold yesterday. Think I may have caught something when I spent Tuesday at the polls. Probably should make a big pot of chicken soup.

For breakfast? Absolutely NOT too early. Set you right up for the day.

not irony…karma

I have a friend who used to do a thing with Guinness and lime juice; probably the same thing.

when i lived there,i used to go riding there,fell off my horse,broke my elbow……and when i was in the hospital…”g”,they said they would “scrub” my arm…i totally freaked expecting scrub brushes…”G”

no. but thanks for the link. i think josh is right on.

that’ll cure what ails ys.

See my Oxdown

oh yes…medically proven to cure cold and flu…”g” plus i love it

I live in Texas. It’s more effective to play dumb and apolitical but intermittently ask naive questions which they can’t answer. Watch with wide eyes as they trip all over themselves. Hopefully, some of the less informed gradually reach valid conclusions.

i live in a very red part of Tn….they drive me crazy….but i try to think of little digs like
oilmen in the whitehouse …etc…or that McNasty voted against Vets…little digs make my day sometimes

The power elite (the unseen ones) used shiny objects to attract voters… W and GalPal. And they will continue to as long as the empty headed egotists get off on being pushed in the limelight and not being made to feel dumber than a fence post.

W was shielded from a lot and didn’t care anyway. He called himself the decider. GalPal is going to cash out if she can she doesn’t give a hoot about people… other than herself.

Let’s see those med records… I’ll bet that kid is not her’s but her daughter’s and the shot gun marriage is on the way.

ooh! that hurts with the telling. The “scrub” part must be a part of W. Churchill’s “two peoples divided by a common language”.

she is a strange raanger,…….no doubt

thanks. recommended.

yah,i was a student,young and green…but quite intrepid,now not so much…i long to go visit England again

My experience with these folks is that they change the topic to football to avoid any cognitive disonance. Here in CO it was hilarious to see them deal with trying to talk up Palin and her claim to fame of having raised taxes on oil companies to distribut $ and then with Schaefer who was pledging no taxes on oil companies.

Is it too soon to for the Democratic public to start asking for their ‘health care’ and ‘infrastructure jobs’ and to ‘end the wars’?..no?

I got banned over two years ago - talking about their less than functional units :D

No. Matter o’ fact we should have started yesterday.

Where’s the talk of a mandate? By the latest numbers I see, Obama won the popular vote by more than 7 and a half million votes. Can you imagine how the R’s would be telling us to STFU if they won by that much? Can we please tell them to go away and let the adults run things for a while?

Love your answer..it’s the one I wanted to hear!

Hell, I thought anybody with a brain was restricted to “read only” status just for starters. I wanna be on their enemies list. I’m in the mood to take on lizard brains. A little light work for a change.

Double standard.

yes,yes,and YES!!! we can

Last night, Rachel started a To-Do list for the president elect and invited folks to go to her website and add items.

A agree, but it’s sometimes apparent to those listening. When you go from, “Tell me again exactly what we’ve gotten out of the war in Iraq?” to, “How ’bout those Broncos,” people tend to notice.

I’m an old fashioned leftist. Stay on ‘em all day, every day.

LOL

i thought that ass whole had his brain chopped up…he is like Cheney and Glenn Close in Fatal attraction…up to another attack

Damn, sorry about the typing and run-on sentences.

They are spending the weekend spooning and drinking.

Jim White!

Orange County was 50-50 in ‘04. Tuesday was 59-40 for Obama!!!!!! And got a mention from Chuck Todd in his FL analysis. (”The Obama people have to be very happy with those numbers.”) Everything went off without a hitch at the polls here. A great night. I didn’t think Obama’s GOTV had been good enough because the numbers from my precicnt weren’t that great. Turns out there were almost as many EV’s and absentees as people who voted Tuesday. I guess the GOTV was good, huh? And Obama carried the precinct!

Did the UF kids come out?

I’m surprised about Amendment 2 getting 60%

A to-do list for the new Obama administration

I’m torn on Palin. One part of me wants her to be the 2012 R nominee because she might not break 40% in the general election. The other part of me wants her just to disappear…

I’ve got the same ‘torn’ going on.

How about she disappears for 3 years, comes back to win the nomination and then get less than 40% in the general?

priceless………..off to feed my critters…bbl

Hey SD! Flor-i-da!!!! Flor-i-da!!! No more Flor-i-DUH.

Works for me.

“ya know I’m just a country gal, could you flesh that out a little for me ?”

works every time :D

I love the extended quotes from Palin, the gift that keeps on giving:

“So we’ll reach out to Barack Obama and to the people who he surrounds himself with,” Palin said of her desire to work with the new president-elect on the issue. “A united effort that we certainly will be making here in order to secure our nation and allow us to be more prosperous.”

don’t agree. hard to say 4 years in advance but i don’t underestimate how many americans like stupid in their elected officials. like it!!!! hopefully obama will change that but i don’t think so.

Now unions may gain a stronger hand, and business is bracing for greater financial regulation, worker-friendly policies and an emphasis on social spending.

Worker-friendly policies.

Oh, the horror!

Next to Fox, CNBC has to be the saddest place on TV.

I haven’t mentioned it, but I’m in hell, here. I’m going to get this wrong, it’s beyond my expertise. We’re bringing 220(?), 210(?) wiring into my 55yr old home (whatever). It’s something the husband says we need. Anyway, it was supposed to be done yesterday while I was at work. Instead, we have some power here, none there. Went searching for an outlet that worked for hair blower this a.m. Alas, none near a mirror. Tried to start the packed dishwasher, to no avail. You get the picture.
Well, I just found out that our electrician’s name is Steven Colbert. This has all been a freeking joke….and no one told me. Now, I’m off to work. Looking like hell.

“I couldn’t be more proud of where we are today, you know, this minority status now being kind of propelled to the forefront, that’s healthy.”

“Minority status” ????? Yeah. She did alot to help propel “minority status” (whatever the hell that is) to the forefront.

My lower angels would, however, be interested in knowing what happens between the expecting daughter and her beau. For those of us brought up when you counted months between wedding an birth, it seems like time’s flying.

Thanks for linking to that for pups to see and read. I just loved the subtle dig about “marriage”, since that was another issue on the ballots for many.
She had a little piece at the end showing the Castro district in San Francisco, but was fairly quiet about the results in general.
And, now, can we start the nagging?
She’s just so cute. Smart too.

Yes, Alachua County went 60% for Obama, so I’m assuming the students came out but I haven’t seen the numbers yet. I heard that UCF students came out in force; there were stories of the line at the UCF arena.

My Congressional candidate won the county (but by a narrow margin, no Obama coattails, dangit) but lost the district by a lot. He’s going to run again, so we get two years instead of a few months to work on the campaign this time.

Except for Hillsborough County. Buddy Johnson has once again shown he’s not up for the task. Roughly 40,000 votes not yet counted. Phyllis Busansky, in her 70s, ran against him and so far is about 3000 votes behind.

Pinellas County Commission now all Rethug. There are more registered Dems than Rethugs but the Dems just can’t get anybody elected to anything higher than the school board, where we put 2 Dems this time around. All the big money comes from Sembler and friends so the Dems are at a disadvantage out of the gate. Gotta figure out a way to finance Dem candidates here.

Just saw Rahm’s “presser” from last night.

Shorter Rahm:

“If I do this, I’ll be neutered. I’ll never get my chance to overthrow Nancy and get more Blue Dogs in the House.”

I love Spain. If I ever hit the Lotto I’ll think about moving there.

more Schadenfreude upstairs

Didn’t hit the Lotto last night so I’m off to swim in the great capitalist, soon to be socialist, cesspool.

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.

Namaste

Is it too soon to for the Democratic public to start asking for their ‘health care’ and ‘infrastructure jobs’ and to ‘end the wars’?..no?

The job for us changes only slightly.

Now that we don’t have to waste time recoiling from the ‘horror o’ the day’ from the White House, we can instead spend time constructively pushing our agenda forward.

It should be made clear to Nancy & Co. that 2 years from now “Republicans wouldn’t let us” will not be an acceptable answer to the above issues.

oh, man. that sucks.

don’t know about UCF but I believe it. alot of te people who showed up at my precinct were kids who commute. alot My district and the neigboring one got rid of R congressmen–Feeney & Keller. Sorry to hear about your Congressional candidate. You worked your ass off for him. 2nd time might be better. it was for Grayson.

Regarding Palin’s personality disorder: am in total agreement. She reminds me of a middle-aged version of Britney Spears, someone who must seek attention even in negative ways if necessary, but dumb as a box of bricks. Typical for a greedy woman who uses beauty instead of brains to get what she wants. Now we are finding out (via Faux News! Unreal!) how truly clueless Palin was, not knowing the countries in North America and thinking Africa was a country. She can’t return with her brood to Alaskan obscurity soon enough.
