It’s not like I’ve voted for him, but I apologize anyway.

You’re a good man, Attaturk…! Once was enough…! ;-)

He’s no NAIL, but hammertime is coming next year. Hope he runs.

Top of the morning to ya from the summit of Mauna Kea…!

Any good Dems running for his seat…?

Good morning. I believe they’re waiting to see if Attaturk is going to run before they announce.

Heh, with bated breath, even…! ;-)

CT what’s your status?

there party has changed, they are no longer “concervatives” they are now financail libertarians and federalists

they believe there should be absolutely no government anything, they want the private sector running everything for profit

I join attaturk in apologizing – in my case for boxturtle Cornyn and K. Ba’al E. Hutchison. That I walk among people who vote for these servants of corporate welfare really concerns me. Can it rub off?

Morning all.
Yes Ruth it rubs off in some of the worst health care, lowest wages, executions of the innocent and etc.

Good morning, pups. It’s Bobo, Cohen and Herbert today. In “The Young and the Neuro” Bobo is trying to convince us he understands neuroscience. He says the work being done by members of the Social and Affective Neuroscience Society isn’t dehumanizing at all, and it is leading to a host of revelations about how people interact. Mr. Cohen, in “Hope That Ennobles,” says hope, engagement and interconnectedness are all good, but a bunch of worthy ideas about solving problems together need to be turned into achievements before they merit the big prize. Mr. Herbert, in “Behind the Laughter,” says in poking fun at Newark recently, Conan O’Brien was just trying to be funny, but the reality for that city and many others in this country is truly horrifying.

Here they are.

The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got a selection of bagels with cream cheese. I don’t twitter-twaddle, but I looked into what my Senators and Congresscritter are up to. John Barrow tweets information about where he’s going to be. Saxby Chambliss had an account called “Saxby08″ but nothing else. Johnny Isakson has a Twitter account that’s completely empty. So I guess in some small way my Senators are less embarrassing than Attaturk’s. (Well, they both voted against the Franken amendment, so they’re both still a disgrace.) Is that tweety-thingy for real? Is it that he didn’t have enough characters to spell “school,” or that he doesn’t know how to spell it, or, God help us, was he trying to be one of them “Kewl Kidz?” Have a great day.

I do apologize for the above brick. I tried to do a small edit and it lost the paragraph breaks. I think I may be beginning to understand why so many folks at Sadly, No keep saying FYWP.

Kind of reminds me of that billboard that says “ILLITERATE? Write for free help” The Illiteracy Coucil

Hey dood, doing fine…! Sorry for the late reply… my shift had started on the hour…!

Is it that he didn’t have enough characters to spell “school,” or that he doesn’t know how to spell it, or, God help us, was he trying to be one of them “Kewl Kidz?”

Betting a staffer tweets for him and uses what is usual with tweeting, instead.

foothillsmike, that’s definitely what rubs off, the betrayal of the public interest.

You have my condolences, attaturk. Of course, we here in Arizona can’t offer any better, namely Kyl and McCain, so I’m apologizing too. They walk among us–and they BREED!

Ooh, that one’s a doozy…! Didya capture it on camera for posterity’s sake…? ;-)

Altho I’m none too thrilled with one of my Senators, Inouye, I do realize I’m in much better shape than ya’ll…! ‘Course him being Chair of the Appropriations Committee has its perks… Love my two Reps… Both are members of the Progressive Caucus… Abercrombie and Hirono…!

Maybe you should ask Chuck whether he is in the right Party. It seems he is so terrified of his Republican base that he has been turned into a confused, frightened, lying old ninny.

The one nice thing about living in NJ is you don’t have to ask where your Congresspeople are on the issues-they are way ahead of you.

The ultimate argument against Teh Public Option:

If government can’t even make a car inspection sticker that works,
how is it going to do with brain transplants?

Saturday, I went to a small “breakfast in the park” where John Sharp said a few words. He’s starting early, trying to take Hutchison’s senate seat, and is really making the rounds. It was his second time to appear in Denton, in about 10 days. It was nice to talk with someone who worked, as State Comptroller, with Ann Richards. He overlapped into Bush’s first term. He said Bush was introducting state officials and turned to Sharp as the only remaining Democrat and said, “I don’t know what to call you.” Sharp said, “The last governor called me ‘Darlin’”.

How does a car inspection sticker work or not work

Apparently the glue was made from reject horses.

Or whoever doesn’t realize your supposed to remove the mud from whatever before applying.

Unlike you western folk, we easterners tend to put
our inspection stickers on the inside of the windshield.

For more of the lovely legend that is Grassley, check out the video in this diary. It’s my only diary that never got any comments. I think that is because the idiocy that is Grassley just leaves one speechless.

Still have to take the mud off first.

Why should government be allowed to force me to clean the inside of my car?

They are just requiring you to display a decal.

LMAO Attaturk! Yeah, that Senator of yours is smaht. LOL

How is this a government failure. The stickers were made by a private contractor.

bobh, I live over in frelinghuysen territory; he is not ahead of anyone on any issue in the nation. frelinghuysen follows the repug line like a little lamb. I have been to a few of his meetings and he doesn’t want to hear the viewpoints that I espouse.

I have to question the worth of attacking the apparent tweet from grassley. If it is a formal note, then it is certainly silly, but if informal, what’s the harm. Many of those willing to attack the grammar and spelling on this blog have no room to criticize. We all make mistakes, or write quickly in msgs to get to the point without concern for spelling and grammar.

Perhaps, after an education and literacy forum, he or his staff member could try a little harder for proper grammar and spelling? Grassley’s tweets are about the worst I’ve seen by anybody over high school age. Worse than those by athletes and reality show celebrities that show up on gossip sites.

Not sure that is enough apologizing but you can stop, I don’t want to have an ugly precedent set as my senators would require non-stop apologies for a long long time (AZ)
