    Chickadee, here is wishing you a wonderful, cloud-free, chocolate-overload, food-porn-ful, fun, relaxing and happy cruise! You SO rock! You are Superwoman, deploying with FEMA after the hurricane! I'm sorry about the liver numbers --- hoping that the cruise helps.



    Lewing, it is so nice to see you here! Thanks for doing what I can't ... You have much more patience than I.



    Lassie .... Why yes, one wonders!



    Athena, I am unsurprised. No more "47%" moments for them if they can help it! I am particularly amused (NOT!) at Robme's latest flipflop ... First the Palestinians were uninterested in peach, but now he's going to work for a Palestinian state. I guess he just thinks people are stupid and believe what he says for the moment. Or maybe it is buffet-style politics -- pick whatever dish you like to assemble your own version of what he will do.

    HL - I think buffet style politics describes it best.

    Interesting that Romney should be ahead in some polls following the debate - much of what he said there were things the right would abhor. In fact, the right doesn't believe it's own policies are electable, otherwise Bachman, et. al. would have won the primaries.

    I will say this for the far right: they certainly know they are at the fringes.

    It was a server who video recorded the last 47% conference.  I wonder if they are going to frisk the servers every time they enter the room?

    As I understand it, it is not illegal to record public officials without consent.

    The far right isn't worried about the stuff he's saying because they don't believe he means any of it.  That he lies might be the one thing we can all agree on.  The million dollar question is what is the truth?  And they don't know the answer to that any more than we do IMO.  He's a player.  That's what vulture capitalists do ... tell you what you want to hear and then do whatever benefits them the most. 

    Unless they are going to take everybody's cell phones that sign is just wishful thinking.   

    chickadee ... your cruise sounds wonderful.  Hope you enjoy every minute of it!

    Chickadee - thanks for the chocolate "dream" now I want chocolate mousse instead of dinner.  Hope your cruise is wonderful and relaxing you certainly deserve it.

    Lewing - Hi, wonderful to see you back - thanks for your posting on the other side - you said it best and there's no way I could post over there - just don't have the intestinal fortitude.

    Romney as president would probably be a huge disappointment to the far right....but at least he's not "the black man." Undecided

    Chickadee, I am sure your biggest problem during that cruise will be a distended stomach from all of the food - enjoy!

    Doing the happy dance! I voted today! My state has in-person absentee voting if you are going to be out of your county of residence at any time during election day -- and since the headquarters of my workplace is in another state, it is entirely possible I will be out of the county. Yaaayyyy! I am so excited!

    Chickadee...that is amazing -- breakfast, lunch, and supper all in a row.  I'm so sorry about the blood work.  I too have a fairly smooth path and my comprehension just probably can't get there, but I'd walk across hot coals to make things different -- wouldn't anyone?  I do hope you can go on that great big ship and find a whole boat-load of sunshine, happiness ( as much as possible ) and enjoy the whole experience in a totaly maximum way.

    Thank you all for your encouragement.  For some reason today, the classic rock station has been rocking my world....I think I just allowed myself to escape into my twentysomething years and Led Zeppelin, Moody Blues, Bob Dylan, Crosby Stills.....whoever came on was just what I needed to hear and howl along with.......at least that's what my son thinks of my car singing.  :-)   Heavy percussion was therapeutic too.

    Ooooo, yes, that music! Just add the Beatles and I'm in Heaven!

    Chickadee, have an awesome and chocolate filled cruise! Maybe they will build a giant chocolate mousse statue and you can dive in! Those things are why gyms are mandatory on cruises. None of us would be able to walk off the boats without having access to them!

    Moody Blues: Nights in White Satin

    Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
    Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
    Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before.
    Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.

    'Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you.

    Gazing at people, some hand in hand,
    Just what I'm going through they can't understand.
    Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,
    Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.

    And I love you, yes I love you,
    Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.

    Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
    Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
    Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before.
    Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.

    'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
    Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
    'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
    Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.

    Breath deep
    The gathering gloom
    Watch lights fade
    From every room
    Bedsitter people
    Look back and lament
    Another day's useless
    Energy spent

    Impassioned lovers
    Wrestle as one
    Lonely man cries for love
    And has none
    New mother picks up
    And suckles her son
    Senior citizens
    Wish they were young

    Cold hearted orb
    That rules the night
    Removes the colours
    From our sight

    Red is gray and
    Yellow white
    But we decide
    Which is right
    And
    Which is an Illusion

    Nothing like heavy percussion to get one through hardship. I always think of AC/DC and "Back in Black."

    Forgot to add - let's celebrate the rotten being made to rot - Sandusky getting 30-60! Motherfucker (sorry, mods). May he be repeatedly raped in prison:

    BELLEFONTE, Pa. - Jerry Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant football coach, was sentenced Tuesday morning to 30 to 60 years in prison for sexually abusing boys, crimes that roiled the university community and shook one of major college football's most prominent programs.

    The ruling was handed down in Centre County Court by Judge John Cleland, and it essentially guaranteed that Sandusky, 68, would die in prison. The sentencing came roughly three and a half months after a jury found him guilty of 45 counts of child sexual abuse.

    Sandusky, the jury determined, had abused 10 boys, all of them from disadvantaged homes. Sandusky used his connections to the Penn State football program, as well as his own charity for disadvantaged youth, the Second Mile, to identify potential victims, get close to them and then sexually violate them.

    In a recorded statement broadcast on a Penn State radio station Monday night, a defiant Sandusky said: "They can take away my life, they can make me out as a monster, they can treat me as a monster, but they can't take away my heart. In my heart, I know I did not do these alleged, disgusting acts. My wife has been my only sex partner and that was after marriage."

    "My wife has been my only sex partner and that was after marriage."

    When I first read this, my first thoughts were "Is he mentally ill? Does he have an evil twin? Or multiple personalities, one of whom like to rape boys, and one who truly believes he's only had sex with his wife?" He just looked so befuddled when he was led away. And then I realized he was probably thinking, "Romney lies egregiously and he goes up in the polls! Why didn't it work for me? It should have worked, dammit!"

    Riley, I heard he smirked when his victims testified. Only time he cried was when he heard the sentence. :PUKE:

    Not denying he's scum, but I heard he sat expressionless as his victims testified. So, there's some subjectivity as to what people saw.

    Riley ( dammit ) too funny --  a lesson to be learned here I guess.  You can have it all, but only for so long.  When your lying and corrupt -- you wake up and all of a sudden the light of day has caught up with you.  A good message here and quite a lesson.....extremely well deserved.

    More head spinning...tracking Romney's various positions....this one on Abortion:

    Mitt Romney Abortion Stance Changes, As Candidate Says He Won't Push To Restrict Access

    Mitt Romney said Tuesday he has no plans to push for legislation limiting abortion, a softer stance from a candidate who has said he would "get rid of" funding for Planned Parenthood and appoint Supreme Court who would overturn Roe v. Wade.“There’s no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda,” the Republican presidential nominee told The Des Moines Register in an interview.The Romney campaign walked back the remark within two hours of the Register posting its story. Spokeswoman Andrea Saul told the National Review Online's Katrina Trinko that Romney "would of course support legislation aimed at providing greater protections for life."

    Liar beware Mr. Romney and

    Buyer beware

    Where's Romney's concern......you might end up getting what you vote for and getting what you vote for and getting what you vote for and finding out in the end you get way, way too much of what you voted  for.....
