New York Republican Rep. Peter King told CBS News Tuesday that he “would not be at all surprised” if former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani entered the 2012 presidential race.
“In fact, I would say if he had to make the decision today, it would be yes,” King told CBS News Congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes.
This time, he’s going to get two delegates instead of one! At this rate Rudy shall be unstoppable in the 6040 Presidential election sponsored by Oxygen-flavored Doritos.
Meanwhile, the morning brings more news of how non-awesome voters think that whole Paul Ryan kill medicare plan is (one less Republican seat in the House)…and the Democrats determination to squander it.

a noun, a verb and
9/112012?… like Cool Ranch, only bluer.
Can the GOP dig up Reagan himself and run him again, too? The White House is their’s for the taking if they could find someone besides the pitiful list of wannabe’s.
C’mon, Attaturk, don’t you watch Faux news? According to “their” viewers, only 15% thought New York’s 26th to be a referendum on Ryan’s plan to kill Medicare. Clueless bastards.
Urgent! Time for an Obama compromise on Medicare!
Good morning all,
The president leaves for a few days and the real Democrat wins on ….. the Issues.
Dullest f-ing candidate in the history of political campaigns! Go away, for God sakes!
Declaring themselves totally evil kinda woke up even a constituency as deeply deceived as the 26th NY, that’s a very good thing.
NIce win for the “not GOP” party but when the hell are the politicos going to start talking about Health Care, or rather lack of it and the need for it.
Good morning all.
Good morning, pups. It’s Dowd and Friedman this morning. MoDo is in Dublin, still following the President around. In “Don’t Be a Stranger” she says Barry O’Bama, the Emerald Isle’s long lost son, zips from a family reunion to pomp and circumstance. In “Lessons From Tahrir Square” The Moustache of Wisdom has a question: Do the Israelis or Palestinians have any surprise in them?
Here they are.
The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got tasted Thomas’ English muffins with lots of butter and your favorite jam. Ah, the middle of the week. I may make it through to Friday after all. Have a great day.
Off topic but first Missouri, now Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kansas. Deadly tornadoes are really slamming some red states. Nothing to see though because Al Gore is still fat.
And no news story is relating them to global warming…
The weather channel actually has Cantore mentioning that warmer patterns are creating the storms.
Well, well, well. Wonders never cease. Glad to head that silver lining, at least.
Ruth was too fast for me.
The media uptake is slow, but other than blaming this on God (they eat shellfish therefore they are to blame), “global warming” might be more palatable as a reason to ‘mericans.
A poser for the Right: if Al Gore trims down, does it make global warming real?
I like the “not GOP” party comment.
I’ve come to the realization that this bunch of boneheads don’t give a rat’s ass about the need for healthcare or lack of it. The constiuency they care about already have it. The rest of us be damned.
I have no doubt that inside televangelism there are no end of claims that the storms are a reminder to give MORE.
Of course not! Can’t have trifles like science getting in the way of THE NARRATIVE.
Speaking of weather, we had a day without rain yesterday, another one supposedly for today, followed by 4 days of more rain. Yard guy might even be able to cut the lawn, now a hay field, even though ground is soaked.
Yes, and when are the U.S. peeps as a whole going to figure it out.
Funding for education is the evil core of our sins.
Our drought has broken for now, anyway. Hailed twice yesterday, will need to check the garden for damage.
There was a Burma Shave ditty that didn’t come up in google about beards and baldness and “equalizing the crop” that seems appropriate…
Interesting to note the demonstrations in Spain could now spreading to France. when will they get here…maybe in time for the 2012 election farce?
French group calls for Spain-style street protests
We’re ignoring the obvious choice for our Republican friends in 2012 — he’s both rested and ready.
Damn and I thought it was LBGT, I guess I have to keep up.
You can have the drought, and welcome. But it didn’t go so badly, as it was warm and sunny so my veggies grew and, unwatered, not the weeds.
SAID FARMER BROWN
WHO’S BALD ON TOP
“WISH I COULD
ROTATE THE CROP”
BURMA-SHAVE
Oh pshaw. That’s “old Europe.” WTF do they know.
Sarkozy sounds like a real bag o shit. As bad as O. Starts a war in Libya to get reelected when his wife just wants him to go out & “make money, just like Clinton.”
All of the above. If it’s enlightened, it’s sure to be undercutting corporate welfare.
A modest suggestion for any Congressional Dem with a spine. Tell your friends across the aisle that if there is no clean debt ceiling bill, then there’ll be no disaster relief bill for red-state tornado alley.
Exactly right! And thanks sooo much. *g*
Good times.
It’s been too wet to even plant my herb seedlings that I bought a couple of weeks ago. Complications, in the sense that I decided to redesign my herb garden this year and dig down to figure out where drain pipe comes out of kitchen, which is under the herb garden. So pile o supersoaked wet dirt sitting there for over a week. Not to mention the truckload of topsoil that supposed to be carted around to be put on spots where driveway was rerouted.
New talking point from Morning Joke: Paul Ryan’s budget was just a “marker.”
Just a “starting point.” To begin a “conversation.”
Isn’t a marker an item that a loan shark gives you to remind you of his “collections.”
IF YOU DON’T KNOW
WHOSE SIGNS THESE ARE
YOU CAN’T HAVE
DRIVEN VERY FAR
BURMA-SHAVE
You’re making my back ache. That’s a great project, given time enough to get it done. Honestly, I dig about fifteen minutes at a time. That’s all it takes to remind me how old I am.
that is the real question,as 100,000 peeps DIE per year in the USA,USA,USA!!
unconscionable
You are surely a Burma Shave maven!
Used to be one of my faves when we were kids taking car trips.
In addition to identifying different state license plates.
Those were the days.
It’s been awhile since we read all those signs driving in the country. love it.
or news stories on how the victims must now pick themselves up by their bootstraps.
Yes. It was a reminder to Rs as to where the real goal is: destruction of Medicare. It was also a signal to Barry: This is where we will begin, shithead.
I’m not hopeful. Newsweek recently conducted a quiz on “What We Don’t Know”. Sixty three % don’t know the Supreme Court has 9 members, 29% could not name the vice-president, and 59% do not know the name of the orange man that is the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
A nation of apathetic uneducated people does not bode well for the future.
I can’t dig much either.
I started to look for the pipe, got down a couple of inches (lots of stones in the dirt to make matters even worse), and called my yard guy to let him know there was “another” project for him to work on. Besides doing lawns & other outdoor projects, he also has a full time job, now cleaning hazmat sites, so his time has really been at a premium.
I did a little transplanting, some of the herbs, like tansy, that I don’t use much that does not enhance the herb garden, and wore myself out about a week ago, requiring a couple of nights of 12-hour sleeping. GAH.
my doggies and i did a video,thank you to the universe thanking the powers that be for a stormless few days…teh adorable babies,didnt let the cats participate…aw
Oooops. That one needs a warning. Let us forget!!
he really does…little man syndrome i suspect
Whose future?
Wishing I were that ignorant.
Ignorance is bliss these days, as we can’t do anything about the destruction of the U.S.
pathetic
YES WE CAN! to borrow a phrase
Gotta go. Laters.
we can dress like this!!!

Now that the Republicans are on the ropes it’s time for President Bipartisan to get out the smelling salts and get them back in the fight.
Reach out for them “good ideas.”
I’m below you in the Delaware Valley and we’re between the deluges, too .
Trying to get in asparagus requiring a 30′ ditch 2′ deep and the rain just let up but the ground is soaked. Hope it rains during the summer not like last year.
Work in about fifteen minute increments works for me. Over a long time, though, since our warm weather begins really early here.
yes freshly back from a tour with a woman who owns 1/6 of the land on our little blue planet
Fox news had a meteorologist who sated the reason for the extreme weather is cooling of the Pacific.
The question of why the Pacific was cooler (melting Arctic ice) was not discussed. Nor any discussion that melting Ice adsorbs a huge amount of heat.
There’s been so little good weather, that when I started those “little” projects, I was determined to get them done before next deluge. Instead of half hour or so I expected, took a couple of hours. Still roots run deep.
Yep. One of the transplants I did was to take a couple of shoots of wild asparagus from one spot to a more convenient one. Took a couple of hours. Also, have 2 more spots with wild asparagus which I want to move to where I put the first one. Maybe right now would be a good time, as coffee is gone.
the attention span of their viewers is about 10 seconds
BBL.
Be well.
ive got to say watching those German/English royals doing their walk abouts and public displays give me nausea
as most of us realize, they will not field an electable candidate, they are doing too good with the big0
I will be campaigning for whoever runs against this president, even if it’s the ghoul, we do not need a republican in office making believe he’s a democrat “willing to meet in the middle”, only to change what was once the the middle into something even the right wing wouldn’t have voted for a few years ago
As long as you don’t send me any more rain I can get my spuds in today. I built another raised bed that, lacking earth just yet, is more like a swimming pool. My wonderful spouse suggested rice as a crop.
Damn I miss my bees…next year we will have bees again even if I have to do them all myself.
Now that the “opposition”
is on the ropes,
It’s time for “O”
to raise their
hopes …
Pollyticks, Depraved
Good morning, all.
(The little red signs of OUR times?
suitable for driving … off the cliff,
Whatever else, remember
keep an empty mind
and your upper lip stiff.)
(My mind is ruined for the day
this damned stuff won’t go away…)
;~DW
Have some hail
With storms and Wind.
Hope that SUV makes it
to the End.
