Good morning BT & everyone.

Rape is a preexisting condition.

Rock stars want to know if their music has been used in torture. IMO, the existence of such music leaves open the possibility of torture to anyone who listens to it.

Senator Graham wants to use the coal that Dog has given us. How about the marijuana that he gave us?

It’s not Kerry’s demeanor that has brought him “close scrutiny”, it is the fact that he protested the Vietnam War as a Vietnam Veteran.

What reportorial rubbish.

Some gifts are better than others.

I think I know a few who’d disagree with that.

I did type IMO. Don’t expect that most will agree with me.

Why was it used to torture?

I’ll use the flimsiest excuse to post an Airplane clip. *g*

And I’ll use the flimiest excuse to be a curmudgeon. :-)

It’s only torture when the chica you’ve been schmoozin’ all day goes off with some other dude.

As is a needle stick or blood transfusion one could assume.

BTW, SD, I picked up Charlie Wilson’s War yesterday. I’m reading several books at a time, so not sure when I’ll finish it. Have you tackled the book on the Soviets in Afghanistan that you were going to read?

Pretty soon the insurance corps will figure out that living is a preexisting condition, and that death is their way out, as Grayson said. Don’t know what’s taking them so long.

Sorry to ruin everyone’s mornin but Politico has this gem from our dear leader:

“Obama told Democratic leadership at the White House Thursday evening that his preference is for the trigger championed by Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine).”

I can’t believe I voted for the guy.

It should arrive from Amazon today or tomorrow and it jumps to the top of the heap. I ordered 3 books almost 2 weeks ago but they weren’t shipped until Monday. Don’t know what that was all about. I’m down to re-reading some books. Need some fresh print.

I see Mr Allen didn’t reveal any sources for his information. More shit from Politico?

Geez, you don’t have enough books hanging around that you just need to read but don’t have the time? Come pick several scores up at my house. I suffer from bibliomania.

He has been hiding out in the restroom disguised as a toilet bowl.

Would that be a “wide stance” toilet bowl?

I will NOT go to Politico. I get really annoyed when I wind up there with no warning.

EDIT: Kudos to Jim White in his Seminal Diary…he linked to a Yahoo story about Politico instead of to Politico.

I find loud rock is a form of torture. hahahaha

I’m curious as to Mr. Kerry’s position re: who will be the last man to die in Afghanistan?

If you need something as good as morning coffee, go watch this diary.

I found myself saying out loud, after watching it, “I’ll have what he’s having.”

MUCH too soon to ask such a silly Q. Ask it again in another 8 years.

I see Mr Allen didn’t reveal any sources for his information. More shit from Politico?

*Somebody* is full of it.

I’m an old head banger. Doesn’t bother me a bit. Can’t hear for shit any more but what the hell.

I buy ‘em or check them out of the library and read ‘em and I read every non-fiction book at least twice. I rarely go anywhere without a book.

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.

Namaste

Scarecrow is upstairs…

I rarely go anywhere without at least 2 books.

“There must have been a moment at the beginning, where we could have said no. Somehow we missed it. Well, we’ll know better next time.”

Great play. Saw it as a double feature with Hamlet, both performed by the Boston Shakespeare Company.

“A slaughterhouse.”

Yep…good stuff. I’ve acted in both plays.

I don’t think I spend enough time at the eye doctor with Joe to read two.
