  • It’s always the wingnut base vs. everyone else, isn’t it?
  • Another El Rushbo apology coming in 5-4-3…
  • Now or never. 
  • What do they want?
  • What’s needed, obviously, is more settlements.
  • Good for him.
  • A closer look at the Hispanic vote.
  • Bush misses big plane, fancy food.
  • Center-left nation.

O”Bomb”A sez:

“If we don’t get it done this year, we’re not going to get it done,” Obama told supporters by air-phone.

That, I think, tells us where health care reform is going.

Clinton (SecState) going all ballistic over bomb testing.

PSI initiative is the Bolton idea. Gen. Jones & somebody Campbell looking at N. Korea only thru the lens of nuclear proliferation, know nothing about the country itself.

Japan’s useless because they only care about their 8 abductees, not the bigger picture.

S. Korea a nightmare for the soln because N.Korea hates their leader.

U.S. has targeted N.Korea with nukes since 1950. Rumsfeld in 03 or 04 wanted bunker buster nukes to go after N. Korea.

HAH! It’s a good morn then. Our 2 gang up on whomever’s the last outta bed, and attend to their morning baaahth routine. Impossible to sleep in. Nice way to wake up though. They get the bath done, then crawl in under the covers to buzz and snuggle for a good half hr., then it’s bath time agin.

That’s the news here. i got nuthin’, except the basement waterproofing contractor with the limp-paw-esque bumper stickers alloberdeedamtruck is acting more friendly of late, and almost, almost humble. heh.

seriously. nice guy. as are the fellas in his work crew. These are hard days for all “regular people”, whatever their stripe. It’s a good time to sit and talk quietly with folks of differing views. although limp-paw will surely not come out the stronger for it.

the people are restless.

they should be.

i suggest we use outright panic and broad brushes as a last resort.

mebbe a wise time to separate the idiot from stray feathers emanating from the same corner of whatever space he might be occupying, perchance by accident?? dump the lump. save anything remotely useful from the chaff.

Gotta go make coffee for work and get some other chores done. Maste goes to the vet this afternoon to remove what sutures are left from his stump of a tail.

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.

Tuff-dude basement contractor wants our Deere, but has to go plead with the wife 1st. Gotta love it. I bet she keeps his book$$. Methinks he can’t hang onto Rush much longer. Too frustrating. Downright embarrassing! You can hear the unspoken thots crackle in the air.

Teabagging didn’t work. They’re going to try goose-stepping, now. Tough to do with a walker, though.

But there are other crazy current events. It seems everyone is certifiable, now. It’s the latest thing. Get your crazy on!

When I bake cookies, I make a second batch of dough and stick it in the freezer. That’s where last night’s batch came from.

Gotta go, gang. My honey needs another hand gathering up stuff for our errands today. We get 1st chance to see inside our new lil’ cottage since it was finished or nearly so. Whoot! Now, if the move would just do itself!?! We’re gonna tip over if we work much harder. Ooogh!

Late to the coffee and swim…but loved the links BT. The KO is great!

Love the reference of journalists who just write their byline and then write down whatever Mr. Bouncy Bouncy sez…vs reality based analysts like Neal at TPM.

I like that new term…reality based analysts.
