  • Will they have the guts to ask if she’s a racist?
  • Lil’ Kim has cancer.
  • Did Cheney break the law?
  • Who cares!
  • What Dick was hiding.
  • Sarah knows best.
  • Maybe this is why all the 3rd party talk?
  • 94% of scientists are non-Republicans.

Someone must have muzzled Mika on Mrs Moose. Every time it has come up this morning she defers and makes some whiny comment about how she’s taking heat from “the internet”!

Per Marcy

Aside from the near ubiquitous drone strikes, which seem to be fully acknowledged and non-controversial…

How far has America degenerated for something like this to be non-controversial?

Mooselini minds what she suffers from others but doesn’t mind what others suffer from her.

Mornin’, BT, pups

On the news this morning they gave the life expectancy once pancreatic cancer is diagnosed as 5 years. My dad lasted 4 days after they opened him up.

On a brighter note, sunset at the North Pole.

I’ve already had to listen to that dipshit this morning on the radio. We could put the brains of all these southern Rethugs in a mini-thimble and they’d roll around like BBs (no, not Bridget Bardot) in a boxcar.

When I lived in LA my partner was dating the secretary to the Director of JPL. We got the VIP treatment along with a ton of 8×10 photos from the first Mars landing. One is of a sunset on Mars. That’s spectacular. Gonna have to see if I can find it online.

So a freind of mine emails me that the real reason Sarah Palin resigned is because she’s coming to New Paltz to run for mayor & clean up the mess. Remember former mayor Jason West performed gay marriages.

Was just reading an article from the LAT iirc over at DU about the thug leaders’ negative reactions to her since the step-down from gov. Also read a number of the negative reaction comments to nooner’s last evaluation of her. mccain and all the bigwigs have unleashed a hell wind that I have very great fear will destroy this country.

It is to laugh to hear the t-prompter readers this morning stupidly repeating the claim that she will campaign for dim pols who hold her same beliefs. Don’t think there is a dim in the country who would invite her to share the stage with him/her and, if they did, they should be our first targets for defeat.

Yes, very familiar, which is why I used the analogy. All my dishrags are so old, they smell even after laundering. On my list to replace next trip to the store.

As an amateur astronomer I’d like to point out that the photo isn’t of any sunset anytime anywhere on earth. Our Moon hasn’t been that close to Earth in a couple of billion years, and there aren’t any mountains that close to the North Pole anyway. FYI
