Boy have I got good news for all you denizens of the Dew Drop inn. For one night and one night only down at your favorite watering hole we have booked the All Star Blues Line-up that was down to the White House less the President. Oh the President wanted to be there but scheduling conflicts wouldn’t allow it even though it was certainly more fun than this governing thing he’s tied up with right now. He did send us a link to the festivities so you’ll enjoy http://www.spinner.com/2012/02/22/obama-blues-white-house-concert-video/ So come on down to the Dew Drop Inn and we’ll kick off the that most American celebration Mardi Gras with a celebration of that most American music namely ,The Blues, Jazz and Dixieland with all the Greats. My F.R. ladies are going to bring all their special treats and mixtures and we are anticipating a good rollicking good time till the wee hours and maybe we’ll move it on over to the Comeback Inn and make a weekend out of it. I understand that some congratulations are in order for my old friends Mr. Murray and Mr. Montenaro so we are going to seat you and your family’s right up front and all drinks and party favors are on the Denizens tonight. That is if it’s got to the point that Sasha will let Mr. Murray out for a quick one or the new little one is ready for a celebration. Tyler and Sally you’ll are gonna have to get the Bosses up there to quit letting the dogs out like they did today or give you’ll some raises or something. Thank you for Restoring posts with all the Alacrity that you have on days like today so the discussion can continue unabated and as raucous as ever. As always my thanks and appreciation to our hosts for their time, giving me a little place to stand, a subject to comment on, a forum to put it in, and their indulgence when I don’t quite get it right or get a little off subject. I purely do appreciate it. Hope you’ll have a fine weekend and good fun among folks that you know and love. To my fellow participants keep well, keep safe, and keep the faith. We’ll make it. See you’ll next week Drive –by How’s about starting us off with a little “The Thrill is Gone” by old B.B. King although they tell me “Sweet Home Chicago” is moving up the charts with a certain backup vocalist.

Floyd,

We're gonna have a rockin good time tonight!

Hope you don't mind if I sneak in a little Al Green, you know how it makes up ladies swoon!

Now, you better be ready to earn yourself some beads! ;o)

I'm ready for a Hurricane for sure!! I'll bring the King Cake for dessert.

Thanks to our First Read hosts for making this blog the best place for politics and congratulations on well-deserved promotions. Hope there is something extra in your next paychecks!!

Hey, IR and Feisty: I was out and about running errands, and by the looks of FT, I'm glad that I was! Wanted to pop in and congratulate Mark and Domenico on their good news, and I hope they are taking the family out to celebrate, after, of course, stopping at the Dew Drop Inn.

What oh what have we learned? I have to admit, I laughed at Mitt and his HUGE venue for the few people who came out to hear him speak. Really, Mittens....this is how you run a campaign? God, think what he would do to the country! My favorite line from Mittens at that speech was something about "that's my family leading the applause...." but Mitt, NO ONE WAS CLAPPING! Quit listening to the sounds reverberating around in your head, and join the rest of us on planet EARTH! You have to give Mittens credit, he is the one person in this world that could make Rick Santorum look like a serious Presidential contender. But, as long as those trees in Michigan are the right size, the roads are smooth, and his wife Ann has her two Caddies to drive, well, life is good.

Been an interesting week on First Read, political campaigns don't get much stranger than this one! But, Feisty, I am heading your way, I have the King Cake made. Ready to celebrate!

Thanks to my hosts! Congratulations too! Have a good weekend all.

Notice to all regular patrons of the DDI:

I regret to announce that one activity we had scheduled for tonight - the book signing of "The Wit and Wisdom of Buck Naked, Sr" has, unfortunately, been cancelled..... because rumor has it that the author has been, well, cancelled himself. Tickets will be honored at a later event to be scheduled as soon as he changes his "nom de plume" once again and the latest copies are re-printed. As a last-minute replacement, though, we'll be showing "March of the Penguins" on the big-screen tv tonight. Wait, what's that? Oh, okay.....on the old black & white out on the porch. Popcorn, as always is endless and free.

The juke box is warmed up, though, and the request lines are open. I hope our regular deejay Drive-by has returned to our midst for good, but if not, I'll try to fill in for one more week. I see we already have a record number of ladies from Virginia asking us to play Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar" with a dedication to some guy named Bob The Guv. And this just in - Bob the Guv himself just sent in a request for that great Dierks Bentley song, "What Was I Thinking?" Yeah, to paraphrase our good buddy Dierks: We know what you were FEELING, Guv......but what were you THINKING?

Finally, this being Halftime in America and all, I thought I'd send out one to Mitt Romney from the old movie "Paint Your Wagon" - who knew Clint Eastwood could sing better than old Mitt?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn8YubD01sk

Since Kansas City, Missouri is the Home of the American Jazz Museum,...I am bringing some Ollie Gates and Arthur Bryant's slow smoked BBQ.

The job they are paying me for is keeping me from visiting as much as I should; but ya'all are doing me right proud!

Welcome to MGates, JoAn, 54 and many others - hope you feel right at home here at the best Political Site on the Web!

Happy Friday, folks!

because rumor has it that the author has been, well, cancelled himself

No rumor - you could say ol Buck ran out of luck! ;o)

or,...he shucked his luck,...ole two buck chuck.

The freak show that was will continue into next week. Thankfully, a few more states will be outta the way, although the way they count votes, it sure is hard to tell who the winners/losers are. It is enough to give one the blues.

Thanks for this site and congrats Mark and Domenico.

My favorite post of the week was the 'pandering liberals' remark re-posted by Jack in Portsmouth. The images of whooping it up with cranes, trotting with trout, and dancing with dingos gave my inner-sinner too much fodder.

I'll take a Hurricane any day over the tornado that erupted over Rubio's religion yesterday. Reading through the poutrage over such a trivial issue was the best laugh I had all week.

JoAnne---could I request "Chapel of Love" in honor of the same-sex marriage law passed in Maryland and in hopes that progress can be made in NJ and elsewhere wherever people want to exercise the same freedoms the rest of us have?

My favorite post of the week was the 'pandering liberals' remark re-posted by Jack in Portsmouth.

In honor of Jack - I will take the liberty to re-post it! His heron comparision is PRICELESS!

Jack in Portsmouth Comment collapsed by the community

A friend who rarely visits the FR site wondered whether my satirical post on Tuesday’s First Thoughts wasn’t too hard on the RWNJs, particularly Damage and BrianB. My answer is no. But for anyone who might think differently, the quote below from one of BrianB’s many posts on February 16 in the “Santorum Backer” piece was the fodder for my post.

The left panders to abhorrent lifestyles... homosexuality, bestiality, sex with plants, fish and birds of the air. Whatever suits your needs without ever considering the possibilities that what you may be doing is completely wrong. We have entered back into the days of Soddam and Gomorrah just as the Bible predicted over 2000 years ago... and it's all because the liberals don't want any limitations put on their sexuality. Liberals revel in abortions and open sex... between men... and between women.

I can’t speak for others on the Left, but I’m into pain. Which is why I favor herons. They just peck the hell out of you when you grapple with them.

Idiot.

remember what happens at the ddi stays at the ddi! ;o)

hahhahahaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaa'

hahahahahahahahahahahaahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Will you look at that?

BB is right on time...

PS: You do know you won't find a J-O-B harassing people all day on FR... right? Maybe you should think about Monster or CareerBuilder! ;o)

Whew for a few minutes there I couldn't find my butt with both hands and a flashlight. Thought you'll were going to have to rename me BBrian or something.

IR, Feisty, NDD, JoAnne already put up their Friday afternoon wrapups; can't say it any better than they already did! Sounds like quite a Mardi Gras party tonight at the DDI especially with the Red, White and Blues band playing for us. Before they start, don't forget to push D8 on the Juke Box while we wait for BB King's group--Tired Old Guy said he was in the mood for some Charlie Daniels.

Congratulations to Mark Murray and Domenico Montenaro for those well-deserved promotions. I also thank Sally and Tyler or restoring those posts post haste--we'll put in a good word for you.

I'm heading right over to the DDI for that Hurricane. Have a great weekend everyone!

Oh please, not Hurricanes. I had a real bad Hurricane experience in Destin, Florida. Not sure I can legally go back to that town.......!!

Bordeaux tasting at my local wine shop tonight.

Jody: just popped over to FT to read you wrap up, which I enjoyed. Extremely well done as always.

But, collapsed...really? Not TOO much desperation by the right wing nuts, right?

The Caretaker is going to contribute some good old Carolina Bar- B-Que that you'll Midwesterners ain't used to from Frosty's with Hush puppies and Cole Slaw and a little bit of Iced Tea with some of that White Freedom Lighten' in it Finest Kind.

little bit of Iced Tea with some of that White Freedom Lighten' in it Finest

Oh No!!!

Not the stuff that will straighten my hair... again...? lol

But, collapsed...really? Not TOO much desperation by the right wing nuts, right?

NND,

It was a hot mess over there this morning! Someone left the troll bridge open and man oh man did they ever trash the place!

I really wish FR would coordinate with Newsvine and DISABLE the collapse feature! It is abused & serves NO purpose!

Steeler Fan -

You've got it, but on one condition - we happen to know you do a mean 60's girl group yourself, so grab that microphone, climb up on the bar and start singing along!

Way to go, Maryland - though I don't think we should hold our breath waiting for Pennsylvania to get on that bandwagon.....

P.S. - Mark in SoCal - come on, don't tease us like that - spill the dirt! As Brianb suggested, what happens at the DDI stays at the DDI!

Feisty: It looked like a hot mess. I wish they would disable that feature too, it serves no useful purpose, since you know folks are going to click on it and read it anyway.

Man, the food is going to be good this week at the party! Hush puppies? Haven't had good ones in a LOOOOONG time.

Feisty: did you see that McDonnell is trying to say he just didn't know what was in the "personhood bill" he signed, when he was bragging about being sponsor on it 10 years ago? The only thing you can call him is "liar".

Well, my FR friends, have a round on me! Yeah, RIP Buck Naked Sr and the soon to be departed! ;-) Extra security detail tonight and tomorrow so I'm going to be very busy. Save me a piece of cake and some beads! Cynbad

The only thing you can call him is "liar".

McDonnell fits right in with the rest of them! Thankfully, his actions this past week, have knocked him off his pedestal!

BTW: What is up with Santorum & his 'fire down below' problem? Shouldn't he seek some strong anti-biotics? Or maybe he should quit riding 'bareback'...

Hey I'll give you'll another one for "I Am Woman Hear Me Roar" Danica just won a Nationwide Pole. You don't think there ain't some P.O.ed rednecks over at Daytona. I can't wait to hear how it was a set-up.

Or maybe he should quit riding 'bareback'...

I was going to suggest that perhaps his protective primer coat keeps sliding off, but then I remembered he isn't into protection. Perhaps his rhythm is off.

Funny, Feisty: did you see that Santorum's wife was on Glenn Beck's gathering of the mentally ill, claiming that "It's God's will" that Santorum run for President? I am pretty sure God is laughing hysterically at the very thought! Can't you just hear it? God: "No Karen, I said pill, Rick is a pill!"

And, Jebbie Bush says that he will not be the white knight, riding into save the Republicans from themselves. He wants nothing to do with this bunch of losers either!

I have my feathers and sequins at the ready! Hurricanes sound delightful after this week! How 'bout a few "po-boys" on the menu for tonight at the DDI?

I put in my vote for disabling the collapse function. Completely defeats the purpose of a discussion board. Can't believe Jody got collapsed today, regardless of one's rightness of leftness the Jody Friday Summary is good reading.

If ya don't agree with a post, put up a post and state your case - discuss! Debate! Converse! Interact!

This message approved by the Mark in SoCal will Save America superPAC.

JoAnne in PA,

You'll have to give me a Hurricane to make me spill the dirt..............wait...........damn!!!

Funny, Feisty: did you see that Santorum's wife was on Glenn Beck's gathering of the mentally ill

You mean the woman can speak?

And, Jebbie Bush says that he will not be the white knight

At least someone in that family still has a couple of neurons that fire...

How 'bout a few "po-boys" on the menu for tonight at the DDI?

Oh YESSSS! And some of your famous brownies would be great!

You said it, Mark!

Time to head to the party!

PS: You do know you won't find a J-O-B harassing people all day on FR... right? Maybe you should think about Monster or CareerBuilder! ;o)

Is this a word of encouragement Betty? Or is it just my imagination working overtime? I'll think positive for once and take it as your way of helping. So, for the record, I say thank you... I have several search engines for Careerbuilder and Monster. I work the e-mails they send me every day. I also use Craigslist in 4 separate cities. Over the course of the past month I have sent out over 90 copies of my resume. I knew I was going to be laid off so I started early. Problem is, my field is highly competitive. Jobs are out there, but not as abundant as they were 4 or 5 years ago. I will land something soon but that will mean I have to move away from my family again. Being home is nice and this is the first vacation of sorts I've had in 2 years... This is the first stay at home for longer than a week in 4 years. So... I will enjoy the time off until I ship off again.

I am just now going back and reading some earlier posts and I see that Brian had not too kind words for me. Brian, if you lost your job I'm sorry, I didn't know. Feisty and others, thanks for having my back. I try to return the favor, but I lose patience with these people and ignore them for the most part.

Mark, I am now going to go check out your website. Will get back to you on what I think.

I'm sorry Pat. I was out of line. I was in a bad mood and I shouldn't have said what I said. It was disrespectful and I regret it. I hope you can forgive me. I really sincerely mean it too.

No problem Brian. We all say things we wish we could take back. I've had worse things said to me by non-Red Sox and non-NE Patriots fans on the sports blogs. It's tough out there in internet land. lol

Hey I'll give you'll another one for "I Am Woman Hear Me Roar" Danica just won a Nationwide Pole. You don't think there ain't some P.O.ed rednecks over at Daytona.

I like Danica, but .... whoo hoo!

She weighs about a 100 (no doubt an advantage in qualifying), drives great cars for great teams and qualifies great with no one else on the track.

Reality is that she is starting the big race 29th ... 26 places behind one team mate and 11 places behind the other and if she wasn't so hot, such a great, unique marketing power because of it ... she wouldn't probably even have this ride.

Hope that fact doesn't piss ya off Redneck.

Happy Friday everyone!!

Congrats Mark and Dom! Go celebrate, I'll toast you early, CHEERS!!

To all the men out there trying to legislate what a woman should do and not do, I'd like to request Kelly Clarkston's song, Mr. Know it All. You only think you know it all. ; )

For all the great guys out there standing with women on some of these very personal issues, many many thanks to you for your support. You really are the great ones and we appreciate you.

If a drinking game is started can "irony" be the prompt to drink? The boards this week seemed to take an ironic turn for the better! ; )

IR -- Many times I went to post on your porch this week but hesitated with Damage dumping garbage everywhere. I just wanted to say that when the heart is filled goodness and love there is no room for hate, only understanding. IR you have an uncanny ability to understand much. Thanks for posting with wisdom.

Thanks to all at First Read who make it an interesting place to visit where politics and issues can be read, discussed and argued.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Cheers to all!

I'm sorry Pat. I was out of line. I was in a bad mood and I shouldn't have said what I said

Thank you Brian for your apology to my good friend Pat!

Maybe you & I, can hit the reset button after all...

BTW - I wish you much success in your search for lasting & profitable employment!

@Pat - You know I will ALWAYS have your back my dear friend!

Brianb -- Ditto what Feisty said:

BTW - I wish you much success in your search for lasting & profitable employment!

Fiesty - thanks for the wishes... they are appreciated..

Fiesty - thanks for the wishes... they are appreciated..

Contrary to popular belief - I am not really the cold hearted bitch that people claim I am!

What you said took - courage & I appreciate your candor!

PS: I even voted for ya! ;o)

Thanks Dont carry it all. I do very much appreciate the positive wishes...

Contrary to popular belief - I am not really the cold hearted bitch that people claim I am!

What you said took - courage & I appreciate your candor!

PS: I even voted for ya! ;o)

Well, politeness counts... and there are times I am less than polite.

But darn Fiesty... do you really have to hit the reset button? :o) As much as it pains me to admit it, I do enjoy sparring with you... There are many times you truly bring a chuckle to me... and not in the way you may think either. You are sometimes outright funny... and I mean that in a good way. I just want you to know that I don't and haven't ever disliked you. (how many double negatives can YOU pack in a sentence?) :o) I think you understand.

Brian -- been there and done that....just keep perservering,,,,it may take time...and it takes a big person to apologize...we may not agree - but lets agree to be civil when we disagree....

IR sounds to me like you have planned a great weekend, looking forward to sharing some time with you and your lovely lady.

To our hosts, Congratulations it is well deserved and thanks for keeping it lively with all your hard work, it is much appreciated.

Have a great weekend and let's hope some here will with find a little extra charity in their hearts and learn to be more tolerant of those of a different whatever.

IR,

I think we can safely put little bob lotsanumbers in the mysoginistic bastard category. Ya' know the type that isn't afraid to objectify women and then claim they are only successful because they've been objectified. Probably can guess where he weighs in on the whole Palin Qualifications (sorry, can't type that with a straight face) issue, too.

Some men are so simple,...predictable doesn't begin to cover it.

Clara,

I think we can safely put little bob lotsanumbers in the mysoginistic bastard category. Ya' know the type that isn't afraid to objectify women and then claim they are only successful because they've been objectified.

What an ignorant post.

Danica's Indy team mate, Darion Franchitti had track earnings of $3,007,055 in 2010. Danica's had track earnings of $367,305 in 2010.

Dario has 20 wins, 51 podiums, 16 poles and in NINE YEARS has career Indy earnings of $11,051,353.00.

"Go Daddy Girl" Danica made $12 million last year alone.

Dario has won 4 championships. Danica has won 1 race in her career.

So tell me Clara, what is Danica's real success in Indy cars other than being a woman?

What is the success behind behind her big bucks celebrity status?

Have more Americans seen Danica drive in the Indy series, or have seen her shower with another girl in a Go Daddy commercial / do the sexy cop strip in a Go Daddy commercial .... adds so sexually edgy that they couldn't get approved for TV so they did the "see what happens next" ad for another ad.

Can people even click on Danica without seeing her in a sexy pose?

Danica is one of Forbes Top 100 Most Powerful Celebrities. Funny that no other driver in the world, the ones that actually win races, made the list, huh? Half naked Tony Stewarts and Jimmy Johnsons don't market as well, huh?

Regardless, like I said in the first post, I like Danica and quite frankly I would rather see her in a helmet with the visor lifted before start engines - the look in her eyes - than almost naked, insipidly laying on the hood of a hot rod with a "I have to have it now" expression on her face.

I would genuinely love to see her figure out how to win races than have to look at another stupid "See what happens next ... " Go Daddy commercial ever again.

Having said all that, my original post was a statement of facts with an opinion directed at IR's ignorant regional / voting block bigotry.

Sorry that went over your head too.

Some men are so simple,...predictable doesn't begin to cover it.

Not near as simple assuming libs who aren't bright enough to follow the discussion.

Brian, sorry to hear of your plight. Things will get better...they ARE getting better...and I hope you can soon spend more time with your family than you do away from them.

Peace

Don’t Carry thank you for the kind words. They are more
appreciated than you could know. As far as Damage et al pooping on my porch don’t
let that stop you just ignore ignorance and carry right on. I started on this
blog long ago and I have always been more interested in what my Friends and neighbors
have to say than listening to my old jaws rattle.

Brian that just shines. I think that you are finally getting
into the spirit of the DDI. It is a place that I hope all of us can get to when
we remember at the end of the week that Political parties mean less than the
overall thought that we are ultimately responsible to each other and politics
don’t mean that we can’t be decent to one another. As far as sparing with Red
goes I think that you can find a reason to carry on and find a willing partner
for the fun. Just keep it within the bounds where you don’t feel the need to apologize
for it Friday Evening and I’m sure that she will do the same.

As to your work situation it might interest you to know that
I have spent roughly 40 years in the Trades. Been everything from a helper on
up. Started long ago as a Heavy Equipment Operator and worked up from there.
Worked all over North and South Carolina, Southern Va., Eastern Tennessee and
down Georgia way with brief stInts in so
many places they ain’t worth mentioning. It’s tough and sometimes it’s lonesome
but it is what we do to keep boy and soul together. If your any good at it you
won’t be out of work long.

IR -- Morning to you. Happy to send warm regards to kind souls. ; ) Enjoy the weekend.

You're the one who said she was hot, little bobby.

Then you went on to villify her marketing of which you've obviously 'bought' into. Perhaps the sport needed a hot injection to make it interesting, eh?

Kind of like how McCain viewed the vice presidency. Short sighted, and mysoginistic. I call the behavior the way I see it. You can call it whatever you'd like.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

and looky looky, we got us a re-reg!

and looky looky, we got us a re-reg!

Clara,

Stinks like a 'rickster69' if you ask me...

I found your info about your baseball party with the FR guy on another political site, saw the pics from the moderators who posted the pics and thought it funny

What's funny is - there were NO pictures taken at our 'baseball' party...

What Red, can't handle the truth?

Get back to me - when post some...

Clara - these re-regs really aren't too bright! ☺

safecracker aka hunky aka now i’m here aka +++++ many time rereg !!!!

or is it rickster69 ??

Tick, Tock

Yeah,...there were NO photos from the baseball game,...HA

However,...the wedding crashers made front page news, eh?

LMFAO at the morons that think the rules don't apply to them about re-registering once BANNED,...

Good Times!

Have a great weekend everyone.

Lisa,

You do the same! Glad you enjoyed your time at Carnaval!

Cheers!

By the way, did they ever get around to counting all the votes in Maine?

Shucks Texas they just did what they usually do. Counted enough to fulfill they're preconceived notions and threw the rest of them in the trash and gave up the whole exercise for a bad job.

LoyalTexan

Thanks for asking. The county that was originally "left out" for cancelling on the same snowy weekend when the girl scouts didn't, finally voted and they went for Ron Paul. Unfortunately, not by enough to catch Romney who won the beauty contest by about 200 votes. I hear there will be mischief at the state convention, though, so look for Maine to back Ron Paul.. You heard it here first.

Oh, and I R, the head of the Maine Tea Party just quit the Republican Party over just such allegations of trashing non-romney votes :)

Lisa,

Thanks for checking in all the way from Mexico. We are celebrating at the DDI with beads, great food, good songs and get this a toast to both Brian B and Fiesty. They are doing a reset!!!!

Brian , I hope you find a job quickly and enjoy your time at home with your family.

Fesity, you have a big heart, a wickedly funny wit, and a always a first place on FR.

to all the folks at DDI, and on FR enjoy you weekend. Cheers

And Cnybad will be working overtime this weekend.:0) You go girl.

Boy now I'm all over the place. You'd think I had a bad case of Republicanitist wouldn't you

Floyd, you know that line from Bull Durham?

'...Fast and all over the place'?

LOL, made ME laugh!

Don't make me work to hard for my Beads now.

Don't worry Floyd, I'm having Bubba the Bouncer confiscate all camera's & cellphones at the door!

No pictures this time around, unlike the ones of the 'Wedding Crashers'... ;o)

Those Wedding Crasher photos are some of my most prized possessions,...Brings a smile every time!

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought this was done commercially by Commander Cody... Anyway, it's a great song... and one I have on my I-pod. Thanks for reposting RedDev.

Maybe I was real wrong... the song is by Charlie Daniels... Here's the U-tube link to listen to it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=952h-AJ3Bcg

Commander Cody did Hot Rod Lincoln.

Santorum seems to be having commandment issues lately, especially with the one concerning bearing false witness. Here is a nice rebuttal to his outlandish false witness claims. Seems he needs some confession time and may owe a few Hail Mary's. I am personally all for smacking his hands with a ruler, nun style.

http://vinegarwilliams.tumblr.com/post/17936050238/santorum-claims-that-forced-euthanasia-is-an-epidemic

Red DevPS,

I just saw Rachel Maddow address Santorums falsehood on her show tonight. The Dutch are not pleased.

I kinda like a mother's soultion: "You sir, go wash your mouth out with soap for saying these lies."

I like the soap punishment, to bad they don't use it at the debates. Problem with that would be a stage oozing with suds.

JoAnne---Rachel Maddow had a Dutch journalist on last night--you could probably catch it on her website. He was more than gracious in debunking the lies and trying to explain how his country sees idiocy like that.

RedDev---in Romney's case they would have to hose away the suds (kind of like how he hosed off poor Seamus).

As a cradle Catholic I repudiate Santorum and his lies. He gives us a bad name, perhaps making others think of us as medieval conjurers. I, for one of many more, do not check my brains at the door. His remarks about brainwashed college graduates and euthanasia and the President make him so unelectable I can't see him with the nomination. But then I couldn't see how the country could elect Bush over Gore or Kerry. I failed to count on Florida's Secy of State cooking the books and the Supreme Court taking an unheard-of role inserting itself into the Fla process. I failed to reckon with the Swift Boaters bottomless pit of money. We have seen the opening salvos of 2012 in the various voter ID laws passed in several states and the bottomless reserves of the likes of the Koch bros unleased by the Citizens United decision. All that's required for evil to win is for good men to do nothing. Don't be on the sidelines.

True enough, the usual left wing nut jobs in here are pretty witless and dull. They ran out of new ideas around 2009, just like their hero Obama did..

They are running on fumes...same stale jokes...same personal attacks on Republicans...

Feisty and her moonbat crew are a surefire cure for insomnia. You know what they are going to say, before they say it.

Bob, it's getting deep. Got a scoop shovel? Muck raking means you have to pick up the muck with something and a scoop shovel will work fine. Oh, and wear hip boots up to your nose.

Wow, Bob, can you not even lighten up on a Friday? I know you can say something nice if you try.

We need some RWNJ to keep this blog interesting

Ask & you shall receive... lol

Feisty and her moonbat crew are a surefire cure for insomnia.

Booby - I am just not feeling the love anymore...?

Wow, Bob, can you not even lighten up on a Friday?

I have read where being sexually frustrated has a tendency to do that.... Just an observation!

Witless and dull--as opposed to witty and charming, such as loony Micelle Bachman, quitter Palin, serial philanderer Herman Cain, and Romnety, who says that the trees in Michigan are " just the right height" Bob you are an idiot.

Good night, ideology.

Turn out the lights the party's over.....NOT at the DDI - I hear it's almost like NY - the place never sleeps!

Wonder when he and the other Klowns will renounce THEIR Liberal educations, eh?

They seem to think education is ONLY for those who 'deserve' it,...not just anyone. They just can't have EVERYONE pulling up the bootstraps.

What a bunch of phony baloneys. and they say this stuff with a straight face. (Their faces seem to be the only thing 'straight' they have left,...HA)
