I think it would be a horrible mistake to have Hillary as his VP. We know what happens to people who cross the Clintons. Also, in no way would I pay off someone’s debt who is trying to beat me with concerns to a presidency. When you and someone else are placing bids for business and of course you both spend money submitting your bids, if you win it, you don’t go to your competitor and help them out.
Good Morning All,
Real hotttt here in NJ this weekend, mid 90s with high humidity. Yuk. I don’t have a pool.
Watched Bob Barr on the Glenn Beck show last night for an hour. There’s very little I dislike about Barr. I like him a whole lot more than McAmnesty and will very seriously consider voting for him. I don’t think he is your average hardline Libertarian.
Just received an e-mail that Jim McKay has passed away.
Those of you who wish not to listen to some numbnut bow out, ESPN has the NCAA Super regionals mens baseball on starting at the same time.
I told my wife earlier in the week that Hillary’s got something up her sleave and low and behold that the title of Dick Morris’s newsletter this AM.
I agree with Silkyinfamous. Having hillary on Obama’s ticket would be a disaster. How would he ever controll Bill? Plus he’d be constantly watching his back for the daggers to come flying.
I’m going to take the 3 year old to tap, and ballet, then to see Kung-Fu Panda, and I’m going to some spring preserve here in Nevada. I’m not going to let Hillary raise my blood pressure today. Father knows best.
Nope, not today. Carb overhaul on my 46 Ford coupe. With LOUD rock n roll in the background. No Billary………..
R.I.P.
Really, really tired of watching the end zone dance that the liberals and the media are doing after the BO win. Do they realize that half of us are laughing at them?
Beware the war hero persona tactic, Republicans. Dole had that, in spades! Didn’t work against the huckster Clinton.
Policy doesn’t seem to matter to the unthinking libs. Reason is moot to them.
Maybe the economy is the right issue (the war issue is old and over- I declared the Iraq war over in ‘04 since I could see the AQ wouldn’t be re-taking Iraq). The libs seem to think raising taxes is good for the economy. Any working stiff knows that’s bull hookey.
Anyone else notice that after Obammma won the primary that the economic indicators went south on a greased rail?
It’s all well and good for us to try to decide if Senator Clinton can or should be Obama’s VP. But we are NOT the ones to decide. Isn’t that Obama’s call? I think we should really let him decide for himself.
Anyway, I really don’t think I will be listening to the speech today.
I’m cleaning and baking cookies.
I rented the “Bleak House” miniseries so I will spend my day immersing myself in British Drama. Don’t be jelous!
I spent the whole day yesterday at the Museum of Natural History and studied a bit of the ancient Islamic culture and realized if the West remains supine to the dangers of radical Islam, we’re in big trouble. Today I have to run math calculations to analyze the negative moment on a new bridge I’ve been designing over the past year and I just purchased reading material for my church.
I wouldn’t be surprised if what Hillary has up her sleeve is a deal to put her into Harry Reid’s position as Majority Leader.
On another note, why is it that nobody has caught on to Barry Obama’s standard refrain “Let me be absolutely clear.” What we’ve come to learn, is that he is NEVER absolutely clear about anything!
Such a dilemma I am in. As this is the first saturday of the month I need to both arrange my sock drawer and take out the bulk trash. But being a Concerned American I shall listen to our beloved Miss Hillary. That is unless her speech time slot conflicts with the Belmont Stake. The Belmont Stake is about a horse of course.
But having Miss Hillary as VP would certainly keep Bro Berry alert, wouldn’t you think? How long before BillyJ nailed Michelle?
Evil, evil mind of mine.
I think I am your long lost love child. Call.
Not a chance.
Like Doc (#11), I’m gonna clean some cookies.
I won’t be following her speech live as I will be building a computer for a client, practicing soccer and heading for dinner with a friend.
Hillary’s antics do not raise my blood as much as the idiocy and ignorance of Obama and his dumb followers. However after watching both of them in their circus of a primary chase, I am convinced that neither of them are fit to lead their party let alone the USA and even though the will of the Democratic voters have spoken I fear the world is in big trouble if the Democrats win this November. Far more trouble than if the shamnesty loving, global warming hugging McCain comes to power.
belmont stakes post time is 3:15 pst
Hey Jose, what part of the Silver State are you in? I lived up past Pyramid Lake before I left the states. As for my time? I had two puters burn out this weekend and no equipment to test or check parts.
I finally found a combo of pieces that worked so I am reinstalling all of my programs, going through a weeks downloads of windows updates and trying to get this thing functioning well enough so that I can get back to writing. Oddly enough, I do not think Hillary or B Hussein Obama will miss me any.
If they rode Western Saddles in the Stakes, I would watch. Personally I get sore just watching someone ride English. I would rather have an old McClellan Cav saddle than an English saddle on my plug … but that is just me.
Thanks
Love it.
Perhaps he’s been there, done that. He’s called Slick Willy for a reason.
I’m running errands today and getting ready for my daughter’s graduation tomorrow. She passed the (California)Exit Exam and got farther than the Alabama Pubic School system thought she would. They wrote her off as a child that would never get beyond the 6th grade. All it took was a parent’s (mine) intervention and continued pressure on the system do what it was being paid to do. Don’t let the educated idiots make that life decision for you, make them earn their pay. I’m so proud of her, I think I’m gonna burst.
Then you’ll miss her scary, steely-eyed demeanor. That’s half the fun right there.
Yesterday was our 50th wedding anniversary. Today I put her on a plane to South America! Actually to attend our grandson’s high school graduation in Quito Ecuador. So I get to swelter in TN heat. Going to dig out my 69 Pont conv one owner and take it down to the car show. It hasn’t run for a year. then I got to get working on the 65 Barracuda. Obama is a dangerous man and our country is in for some deep trrouble if he is elected. Actually we are in for deep trouble no matter who is elected.
Hill as a VP candidate will not happen. I think Bloodhound is right. They will find a place in the party where she has a great deal of control but can’t influence or be influenced by an Obama administration. The thing about Dems is that they honestly believe they can’t loose. A cornerstone of Dem theory is that any Republican win is not a repudiation of Dem politics. In thier minds it is merely a mistake - you know, confusing voting machines or “the people didn’t get our message”. So they aren’t even considering the possibility that Obama may loose. However, if he does, Hill will have a veeeeery powerful spot in the Senate and/or party and Obama will be just another looser (who is a freshman Senator). Hill is evil and despotic to be sure. But she is not by any means stupid.
Other than that, nice sunny day in a place where sunshine is rare. Put a new motor on the boat, rescued an abandoned duckling and putted around the canals.
NOT watching the eurolibs fawn over the Dems. Team America is on Brit TV tonight. Goooooood Livin’.
Hmmm Imus named his new truck Les Moonves photo begs for captions.
http://imustruth.typepad.com/index/2008/06/les-moonves.html
Dole ran against an incumbent, he ran as if it “was his turn” (just like MacNasty), it was milk against shot&abeer.
MacNasty is the only contestent (notice I mention no party since I have no idea of which one he belongs too) who can lose to the Brown Fool.
America got screwed in this election and retribution should be the no.1 agenda of the voters.
I want the leaders of the GOP to be racked & hung. I hope MacxNasty is in the hospital during the convention…
Good stuff. When I was in school, Buffalo Public Schools weren’t close to the best, but my mom sure did push a lot of buttons and I’m glad she did. She told me something in high school:
“If you get a 95 and a 8 year old could pass the test then the 95 means nothing.”
I also had my Grandfather when I would get the 95 with a sorry tone:
“Why not a 100. You could have done better.”
At the time I hated it, but now I realize how beneficial those statements were.
Simone filled in for Imus as he set up to broadcast from Readers Digest New Mexico 77WABC radio. Imus is taking two more days off in June, I would really rather listen to Michelle Malkin in the Morning then Simone.
http://imustimes.wordpress.com/2008/05/31/simone-sits-in-for-imus/
#27 what do you call a med student with a C average when they graduate? Doctor SMILE.
Will do, same to you and all your readers.
If Mrs.Malkin had a radio show who would you like her to interview and why?
I would go with Jim Gilchrist, Founder as well as President of the Minuteman Project. I think it would be fascinating to get the side of those who are actually doing the government’s job and trying to close our borders to illegal immigration.
i cannot take any more of the democrat cheerleading media display. and, my guess is that Clinton is vying for a supreme court appointment. she wants and hungers for absolute power. that is where the dems believe the real power resides, in the courts. their actions of not passing legislation as our forefathers intended but through the courts is obvious.
although, she maybe after the senate majority leader, but i think she wants power that lasts and lasts. look for her to be going after a supreme court justice appointment. that is if barry wins. if barry doesn’t then she is off to the races for the 2012 POTUS position unscathed. if barry loses and she is VP spot she is gone and resigned to the position in senate (not enough power for a clinton).
and, i am going to enjoy the california high desert weather.. balloon festival here in temecula wine country may be calling me….
Maybe it not too late!!! If Hillary wants a chance at being President…God forbid…. maybe she could talk McCain into a shot with him…of course, she would have to discuss the payout!! and she would be at the mercy of God should something happen to him during his term…and we know she is not going to let God control anything!!! this of course is a wild imagination drinking our first cup of coffee!! Please smile..!!
Silkyinfamous,
I have a list of folks that don’t get air time, why don’t they get air time? Duncan Hunter I would like to hear from Duncan Hunter Rep California. Lou Dobbs is a revolving Guest on Imus in the Morning.
Are we going to find out that that was an uninsured motorist who ran over that 78 year old in Hartford CT hit and run? Look they can make out the models of those autos the toyota truck and the honda trailing including color how hard would it be to check the DMVS in the area for all the matching autos? Unless it isn’t Registered? why wouldn’t it be Registered no insurance you have to show your card to get your auto Registered who can’t get insurance? I could be wrong but if I can figure this much out imagine what the authorities should be able to come up with? databases ect..Hartford CT., has a policy of not asking for Legal Status.
Oh here is the latest from John McCain’s blog why is Obama always trailing the national security discussion? I took a look he has Air Force Officers advising him….aren’t they the ones that really Bomb Bomb Bomb? Funny that they use that against McCain?
http://www.johnmccain.com/mccainreport/Read.aspx?guid=0e430953-fb56-4f62-9a46-9899357161fb
NOT listening to her. That is top of my list of things to do. LOL We had so much rain here in Southern Illinois I had to go let water out of my pool. Also swept the garage floor clean of the bird feed my grandson spills doing his “job”. Unlike the government, I don’t hand out money to slackers !!
I’d like to see a Geraldo Rivera interview
and maybe even Pat Buchanan with his new book.
Dentist scare me.
I’m beginning to wonder what the heck is going to happen in November with the many Hillary supporters now vowing to vote for McCain rather than Obama. I actually like that this has become (for many) a vote for the person, not the party.. it’s just very unfortunate that the persons are all so undesirable.
Hubby is on a cycle ride, with other VFW riders, in a parade today. I plan to watch Big Brown run. It is a fun 2 minutes and I hope he gets the triple crown. Ya’ll have a good and fun day.
L
For a a kid who has a a 3.1 average who wasn’t supposed to pass the 6th grade and be thrown into the “special ed” abyss, she has done well. Let’s see what college brings
Goldwater Knight,
Pat was already on Imus in the Morning discussing his new book he is a revolving guest.

Any explanation why the American Economic disaster isn’t getting more play in political blogs? It really does look like we are in a “recession”, NEBR definition or not.
Bush/Paulsen have repeatedly said they are “in favor of a strong dollar” the past couple of years, but those statements are completely the opposite of what has been happening.
This is why I don’t want to vote for either a D or R… since this looming problem has been going on since Clinton was in office (tech bubble, then housing bubble). It just seems like now its coming to the forefront for everyone in our lives (by 1970s measures we have double digit inflation!)… and it’s not openly being discussed… this will be a huge factor in the election as well.
It’s a real shame that Jim Mckay died. I always enjoyed him on WWOS. Right now, it’s 97 and the wife and I just got back from touring some of the area (Portsmouth, Va.) and having lunch. Too hot to continue, so we’ll stay in and watch some car racing. We might as well get out, when we can, and do things now, because once the democratic budget goes through, we’ll be staying home, counting what pennies we have left after the taxman takes it away…oh, for our benefit, of course.

The words matter “Support” or “Endorse”

Hillary is finally speaking. I could only handle 5 minutes of it. It is her standard “bullets from Bosnia” speech. You know, young kids giving up their allowances to see her, old ladies telling the doctors to take care of some one else that doesn’t have health insurance then come back to me—aaaaaaggggghhhh! Hopefully she will take her cackle and exit center stage. Probably won’t happen.
I was waiting for a thread commenting on Susan Sarandon’s pledge (okay, probably not a pledge so much as an empty threat) about leaving the US if McCain was elected. I thought to myself, “I finally have a reason to vote for McCain.” Sad but true.
Wartip, I know your troubles were described as hardware related but have you tried a good Linux OS instead of MS Windows? I highly recommend either Ubuntu or Mint (a flavor of Ubuntu and my preference). I started out with a dual-booting machine on an existing XP platform but have now gone strictly Linux and do not miss MS. You might like to try it.
To all readers and management, have a fantastic and free weekend.
I’m also interested in what some of you folks think about ACTA (Anti-Counterfeit Trade Agreement). There is a huge concern amount us tech-folks who think this will seriously constrain information on the Internet. Especially those of us who object to the stupid Mickey Mouse copyright terms.
I suppose the biggest concern is that Congress, Department of Justice, and State Department have all gotten co-opted by RIAA/MPAA and are working on agreements that help these old business models, and will hurt the Internet. Using the DCMA to outlaw tools to rip DVDs for fair/personal use is just wrong. The truth is that I bet 99% of Americans don’t pirate, and piracy is something you can’t stop, and now that its becoming mainstream it’s a threat… but at the same time movies/music sales have not been too much hurt by piracy.
I had not intended to watch Hillary’s “concession” speech but my TV is set to Fox by default. I could only take about 15 seconds of her drivel before I located the remote.
It is a toss-up whether she or Obama is the worst orator.. I do not understand otherwise seemingly reasonable people who praise his speaking skills and charisma.. what am I missing.. he is a stammering doofus apparently completing lacking in historical knowledge and cannot remember what he says from one day to the next without his cue cards.
Wow, I just gave some poor dude an earful who called me from the National Senate Republican Committee (os is that the National Republican Senate Committee?) Whatever.
I told him how PISSED OFF I was that the RINOs in the Senate have let us down. How pissed off I was that they were completely ignoring the conservative agenda and teh conservative base. How pissed off I was that they tried to cram immigration “reform” SHAMNESTY down our throats every year for the past several years. How pissed off I was they were buying into the global warming BS (yes I even used that word).
I told him that I keep writing back to the committee when they send me solicitation letters and tell them the same thing I was telling him today on the phone. I told him I am not giving one DIME to the national party since it is diverting MY money to support RINOs who are screwing up the conservative agenda. I told him that I would rather we take the hit in the losses now and replace those RINOs with real conservatives later.
He tried to tell me how screwed up we will be of Obama wins (he used the word “inexperienced senator”, he didn’t use Obama’s name). I told him we survived the Carter presidency and I expect Obama’s to be much worse. I told him that we ended up with Reagan after that, so it might be a price we have to pay, overall in the conservative wing of the party.
He finally gave up, but that poor dude tried for 10 minutes to “win me back” but I just told him that I am going to carefully pick, at the local level around the country, who I spend my campaign donation money on. I told him I am ONLY sending money to real conservatives and that I don’t want my money to support Party Picked NON conservative Republicans who are throwing conservatives off the bus. I also told him that I was hugely insulted that someone at the National party level even had the audacity to say that they can with without 10% of the base because they are getting democrats and independents instead. I told him to ask THOSE people for money.
Poor guy, he finally gave up. Now I am pissed off. What a way to start a Saturday.
On June 7th, 2008 at 12:06 pm, sleepneat, you have to be very proud of your daughter, congratulations(clapping my hands here) to her and you both for the efforts you put out for her to be more than a bureaucratic government school official proclaimed she could be.
Right is Right and Sleepneat,
this is EXACTLY why we need univeral school vouchers so parents have true choice for their kids. People just don’t know how bad some school systems are. I lived out in Los Angeles and most of the public schools there are just disasters.
#48 WAY to go! I do the same thing when they call me. I don’t think it makes a hill of beans to them, just the $$$$ coming in, in one ear and out the other.

God Bless Jim McKay
I just had a problem with ants in the kitchen. I was watching Hillary at the time. I got control of the ants, either that or Hillary’s shrill voice drove them out.
.I imagine we are all hoping that happens but I doubt it will. After any hotly contested fight we see the same reaction: bitter, disappointed and vowing revenge. There will be some of Miss Hillary’s people who stay home and less who vote for McCain. We see those reactions in every fight. But those numbers we see now will drop. Time passes and passions cool and the majority of the base returns.
Most elections in my life time have been close, a few blow outs. So it is the margins we fight. The millions of dollars spent are for a few percentage points in the uncommitted voter bloc.
Over 100 degrees here today!
UGH! Horrible humidity on top of the temps.
Watched Hillary. I noticed she NEVER smiled when she spoke Obama’s name.
I have been following the cases of doctors being wronged, very wronged all over the country. As such, I hope you will take a look at some of the stories I have discovered so far. Here is one about a doctor that was targeted after he reported on a serial killer nurse in South Carolina. Here is another about a nurse in Texas that was targeted after he reported on illegal drug testing on patients in Texas. I also discovered that Blue Cross/Blue Shield is systematically targeting doctors that it deems a threat. In fact, the Texas Medical Board is itself so corrupt that it systematically targets doctors. Finally, my first discovery was the tragic story of obscene corruption at Grady Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia.
On June 7th, 2008 at 1:29 pm, karenhasfreedom, I agree, but the parents have to take the time and effort to know when the school system is failing their children, then move on it.
Hate to be too negative about it, but the NEA and other teacher unions have a death grip on the democraps, their not going to change anything as long as their in office.
I think you may be selling her short. I would speculate that she’s after Senate Majority Leader for herself, and a Supreme Court appointment for Bubba.
I’m surprised not a word here today about the high and going higher gas prices. The mortgage bailouts will be a drop in the bucket compared to the damage the eniro’s and our incompetent congress is doing to us. Especially when there is absolutely no legitimate reason for it. The U.S. has 3 times the reserves as Saudi Arabia, but we’d rather drive to bankruptcy on our food sources, now that makes sense. Not to mention what it is doing to the real poor in the world. How can anyone support a politician that is in reality killing the poorest people of the world…demo’s and rep’s alike.
Well maybe she could run the CIA…
awwww $#!^, now I scared myself.
50 years?? That’s amazing! Congratulations!
Doing nothing and found something funny.
The Board of Tea Appeals:
It gets better:
Even though it was repealed in 1996, it sure proved are Tax Dollars were at Work making sure we have the best tea testers in the world. Maybe Hillary could have taken one of those seven slots.
I attended the Tampa Gun Show this morning. The place was packed. An hour after it opened the line to get in was 3 wide and over 1000 ft long. I didn’t see any Bibles but I did see quite a few pictures of Obama with different captions. Boy has that man stimulated sales.
Breaking from thoughts of the possible future Marxist government, there are famous Americans that help define our individual lives. It’s different for everyone and for me, having been born in 1962; a few of these people include President Ronald Regan & William Buckley, politics, Bob Hope & John Wayne, entertainment, and Jim McKay, sports. Who can forget the”…thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat” Wide World of Sports and while covering the Munich Massacre in 1972 and after an unsuccessful rescue attempt of the athletes held hostage, McKay came on the air and said: “When I was a kid my father used to say our greatest hopes and our worst fears are seldom realized. Our worst fears have been realized tonight. They have now said there were eleven hostages; two were killed in their rooms yesterday morning, nine were killed at the airport tonight. They’re all gone.” Well, Mr. McKay died today. God bless Jim and his family. RIP.
Hi, Ya’ll! it’s really HOT and muggy here in Texas..hiding out in the den…again!
Have been missing the Wide World of Sports and Jim McKay for years…ahhhh the “agony of defeat”… sorry he’s gone.

that is too funny!

I’m in Houston and with the last couple of days this one is one of the nicest. Too bad my A/C has been on non-stop for 4 days.
Hey Guys,
Got nothing to do this week end?
Check out the youtube vid I made on memorial Day of the “leftys for Peace” dishonoring our Fallen heros at the California State Capital last week.
They even smacked me a couple of times in front of my 7 and 10 year old sons. And it’s on camera too.
Let me know what you guys think.

I spent my Saturday morning in a hot cathedral watching three of my fellow seminarians get ordained to the priesthood.
Just kicking back and enjoying life on this warm, sunny Saturday in East Tennessee - spent the morning watering, deadheading, and weeding my flower gardens, and am reading and checking in with y’all at MM now. Will bake chocolate chip cookies later and joyfully (not bitterly or clingingly) worship in church tomorrow.
On a day like today, I’m happy that politics - Hillary, Bambi, JMC, and the others - are a blessed irrelevance in my day-to-day life. My voice will be heard on November 4th in the voting booth!
No Shrillary or Obama Bin Laden for me today. Too busy cleaning up garage and tuning up my 55 chevy. Listening to lots of good tunes. Heard gas is way up again. Europe is starting to whine. Gas has always been 2x as much over there as it is here in the states. It’s great to be an American.
Silkyinfamous.. yeah, honey …I know it’s nice out today (in Dallas, too) but I’m an old lady….can’t take the humidity like I used to .. also spent about 25 years in northern CA .. got really spoiled!
By the way.., Silkyinfamous, did you get my apology last month for being a SA? I left one for you and Joy.
I’ve been on a business trip/mini vacation in NYC from Richmond, VA this week and have been totally ignoring the news… it’s been so nice. Being a native Mississippian, I had to stop by the “Way Up North in Mississippi” 29th annual picnic in Central Park this afternoon. The temperature made me feel like I was in MS. It was good to say hi to Gov. Haley Barbour(R). He spoke about how the economy is improving and unemployment going down in MS as opposed to other parts of the country. The best indication about what a good job he has done is to look at how MS has recovered from Katrina vs. Louisiana.
No kidding..you know it seems like ALL those FBI files are backfiring on Hill now … seems like everyone got together and decided the Clintons couldn’t get them all..so … take a hike Hill & Bill! I am sure that if they could expose all the traitors..they would.
HotAir has a post/link to Pajamas Media by Taylor Marsh that conjunctures jiHillary lost to Obie because she postured as the inevitable primary candidate victor. This strikes me as so Mcstupid’s being the inevitable POTUS because of his vast life experience. I have yet to hear one specific life experience that would qualify his being CIC or an authority on global warming. Is Mc895 now the inevitable candidate. If so, is he the candidate of inevitable defeat.

Dang,
It looks like the link to the site at youTube isn’t working so well.
Just do the “key words” in the search field
“Memorial Day Adventure” and it poops right up.
It’s big news around Sacramento right now.
It should however go national I think.
They even called law enforcement on me after they smacked me around a couple of times. Arrogant, narcissistic and dangerous to boot.

Do you think that your checking account is secure from intrusion? Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, think again! And get answers from your institutions.
I had a conversation with one of my financial institutions this morning and found out that if I have ever written a check or draft to any of my debt accounts, which includes to any individual as a personal check, they, or anyone else who can get the numbers off of my check, and has the capability to do so, are authorized to hit my account with an electronic withdrawal. And, I was told, there are no safeguards at the financial institutions to prevent it or any unauthorized hits.
The question came up because I noticed some electronic withdrawals from some of the companies to whom I had written checks. I was told that the company to whom the check is written does not have to submit the draft to the bank for payment. They can turn the check into an electronic withdrawal, without my permission, for quicker payment and not have to wait for it to clear. And, if they are so inclined, may even discard the draft. It seems it never has to be submitted to the institution or the account it is written on.
Further, I was told that the banking industry got this ability passed by the federal government back in 2002. And the only recourse is the corrupted American system of litigation taking many, many years and more $$ than was taken out of the account which by now is emptied.
You can read the Fed’s spin on it, that is, how it’s so great for you, here and here.
poops right up=pops right up

Simcoe, I got out of the checking business last year when someone actually submitted a draft on my account. I closed out the account, re-opened another, but have no checks. I pay my bills two ways, cash or money order. I write a counter check for the cash I need.No one can submitt another check or draft for I have no routing number. I have a checking account mainly so my retirement check can be direct deposited. No more checks for me.
That was very funny…thanks.
Okay, off the politics for a minute. Interesting Belmont Stakes, anyone catch it? I wonder what happened to Big Brown. Anyway, I know there are many who dislike the the throughbred racing but I financed my way through my first graduate degree at Tampa Bay Downs with my winnings. I love the ponies!
Simcoe, I’m going to have to look further into this. I do most of my bill paying through electronic payments and honestly, I am not really proactive at checking and balancing the account each month but neither is my husband when he has the “reins” of the family finances.
Yeah, filled up the Volvo XC90 this morning-half a tank still cost me $39.00. I never let it go below 1/2 a tank, now a 1/4 is looking better.
Just watched the Belmont..can we say “anti-climatic”?? But, it’s always fun to watch the horses! Can’t wait to hear what went wrong..looked to me that Big Brown just didn’t want to run today. Can’t blame him, it’s 102 degrees here and I don’t want to run either. (or walk, or clean my house, or cook, etc.)
Sheesh, I’ll take some of those degrees… I doubt it’s 60 degrees here today…. (WA) So much for global warming.
Not if you had a few bucks on the longshot….
Even though I don’t think this is the last of Hillary, I find it interesting that I went to a cemetery association meeting today when she was announcing that her campaign was “dead”. Ha!
Geraldo on Baywatch
I just finished watching Baywatch on the ION channel and Michelle’s bestest buddy (j/k!) Geraldo was on there. He played a nerd who was trying to win back a girl that had the hots for Hassle the Hoff. He stilled looked like a greasy slimeball. And his acting was atrocious, just like his reporting!!
Busy today, had to cut the lawn. I’m sure it’s hard to believe, but this far North it was my first cut of the year. Checked out neighbors new tractor, KEWL. You have to have your priorities.
Then my sock drawer was screaming to be sorted. It was amazing the things I found which I believed had been lost.
Life is good.
Is it November yet?
Nothing in politics matters ’til then.
Pray for Our Country.
As a side note, why was anyone surprised that Teddy Kennedy has a diseased brain. (Sorry, just had to throw that in.)
Re: Gorebal Warming. Not seeing any of it in Alaska or on my trip to Washington State. Like a poster said here not too long ago: “Looked out the window and it is the same as it was 60 years ago”. If all of these GW idiots think they can change the weather then they really do have their collective heads buried. They are going to ban fires on beaches in Seattle because of (not a fire hazard), but because it will contribute to GW! Omg !
