Feisty ... I think "Proverbs 16" borrowed it to edit-in the Rapture. Maybe she'll bring it to the DDI.

Maybe all the "mud slinging" ruined the tape.

I guess it is that time ---

"Closing Time"

Ah we're drinking and we're dancing
and the band is really happening
and the Johnny Walker wisdom running high
And my very sweet companion
she's the Angel of Compassion
she's rubbing half the world against her thigh
And every drinker every dancer
lifts a happy face to thank her
the fiddler fiddles something so sublime
all the women tear their blouses off
and the men they dance on the polka-dots
and it's partner found, it's partner lost
and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:
it's CLOSING TIME
Yeah the women tear their blouses off
and the men they dance on the polka-dots
and it's partner found, it's partner lost
and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:
it's CLOSING TIME

Good choice of music, Ideology! It's one of my favorite Leonard Cohen songs! It also perfectly fits the predicament the GOP is in right now.

Hitting Mitts with a brown colored paintball, was GREAT!! perfect illustration of what mitts is....

MUD SPLATTERED ;-0)

I'm a conservative you all know that, but I'll be the first Conservative to officially congratulate President Obama for his victory if Rick Santorum wins the Nomination.

Even as a 65 yr old conservative my eyesight (and brain) is still working sufficiently to know he's not going to win....

But lets let the Grinch and Santy continue to destroy Mitts, then we will have one viable candidate left....

Egilman---I thought that ad looked more like splattered MITT than mud splattered.

    Rake and throw the muck. The more the marrier. This is great fodder for the Democrats. Keep up the good work GOP/TPers.
