I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Yep, cake always goes down better with Kool-Aid!

Athena - the comparison to Wall Street rings true.  We always talk about "smart money," but so many of "them" did not do well this year.

You know, it just occured to me, as the head of a super-PAC, Rove was not allowed to confer with the candidate.  This is from the NY Times:

It was 11:13 p.m. on Tuesday, the moment that Fox News had called Ohio for President Obama. Karl Rove stood just off camera, his phone glued to his ear. On the other end was a senior Romney campaign official who insisted that the network had blown the call.

How does this meet the standard of the FEC rules?

So do I - must be thanks to Josef Stalin! :-) Pass the Kool aid.

My friend baptized Josef Stalin into mormon heaven (really) - give him some koolaid!

edited:  btw, they'd call that a "free pass"

Wow, I have free checking, too. Not only that, I know of at least 4 banks around here where I can get free checking! I think soooomebody isn't paying attention! Or they are telling a Republican truth. Why do you suppose they are upset about it, anyway? I thought they LIKED giving money to ripoff banks?

Free checking here.  But hey, it's free market rules.  The banks get to charge whatever.  Isn't that what the other side wants.

Oh heck, send over the kool aid.

Chick -- You beat me to it!

Now we're quoting from speeches from the beginning of the 20th century - not only delusional but truly regressive!

I must not unblock, I must not unblock......

I'll give this reverend credit. The last list are items he entitled "The Seven National Crimes"



I don’t think.

I don’t know.

I don’t care.

I am too busy.

I leave well enough alone.

I have no time to read and find out.

I am not interested.



Someone should look in their mirror.

I just got this from our local Democratic Party committee.....my new Republican Congressman, and others, have taken this pledge:

Doug LaMalfa signed Obamacare Repeal Pledge. 6 March 2012. "I pledge, if elected, to vote for all bills which seek to REPEAL the health care bill, HR 3590, signed into law on March 23, 2010. To that end, I would now and will in the next Congress endorse and vote for all measures, including discharge petitions, leading to its defunding, deauthorization, and repeal. I shall do so whether those measures are taken for the whole of the bill or those component parts that impose mandates, restrict patient and doctor choice and access, violate individual freedom and privacy, reduce healthy competition, increase costs, or raise taxes." (www.therepealpledge.com)

When congress members sign such an appeal should they also add "and I pledge not to think for myself or my constituents. Ever."

Awww Chick -- As an admitted shoe-aholic, I don't believe I've ever encountered boots with straps.  I think maybe they died out about a century or two ago.....  

Can't sleep - still fuming over the fact that Obama called both Boehner and McConnell on election night and both professed to be asleep. The speaker of the House (second in line of succession) and the senate minority leader asleep when the commander-in-chief calls??? What disrespectful, envious, small minded, unpatriotic little snakes. How many people would not come to the phone if the president calls. Only a washed out party with hatred on its agenda.

I really want Obama to play hardball from now on. Get rid of all the Bush tax cuts and do it however he has to. Hold Boehner personally accountable for that damned fiscal cliff. The GOP doesn't have the credibility to make gains in 2014. Things have got to change around here, and I think the country will back any move that ends gridlock in congress.

ETA: No worries, suzie!
