   Bush’s fault that her ugly mug was distorted by the GOP balloons.

    Wait, they really ended the story with this line?

    Investigators say the couple were just defending their family and probably won’t be charged.

    Two armed men enter their home. They take the gun from one of them and have to shoot the idiot twice because he won’t stop trying to kill them and they have to shoot the other still-armed idiot before he decides to run away. And they “probably” won’t charge the victims of the crime? Probably? Seriously?

    If I were a prosecutor I would be giving this couple a medal for dealing with two idiot scumbags and getting them off the street. Charge them? They have to be out of their minds!

    HELP! I’ve fallen into a vast reservoir of artificially inflated pockets of latex covered hot air, and I can’t…find…my …way…out.

    My collie says:

    Just like Denver — except the Democrats don’t use latex balloons, and they have enough hot air to fill a stadium.

    In California, there was legislation attempting to take away metallic balloons. Democrats thought it was too dangerous to the electrical power grid. Metallic balloons are 800 million dollar business. They should have called Schwarzenegger.

    The Dems cannot use balloons as the differential air pressure from the blasts of hot air, released to the atmosphere by Algore types, cause the molecules external to the balloons to compact their surface at such a rate as to cause the balloons to implode. Not necessarily accurate science on my part, but it makes a good tale.

    She sounded like she was falling asleep. Had to keep the balloons coming to keep her awake.

    Don’t know exactly what she was supposed to do but all she did do was snark about the balloons.

    Yeah, she’s uplifting to watch with all that exuberance.

    Andrea Mitchell paid tribute to McCain’s biography but made sure that she let us know that she does not approve of McCain’s views. Only minutes after Palin was nominated, Andrea Mitchell asked rhetorically if this mother of five would be able to be a good mother and vicepresident and mentioned that one of the children is a special needs child so that makes it impossible for Palin to be a serious vicepresident. With Obama, it was endless blushing from Ms. Mitchell. I don’t know how many times Ms. Mitchell and Chris Matthews took turns gushing over the Obamas. With Chris Matthews, it was difficult to tell which Obama he had a bigger crush on, but it appeared that his love for Barack was even greater than his ardor for Michelle O. With Andrea, she admires Michelle Obama but she is positively head over heels for Barack. When you see Andrea Mitchell even mildly close to where Barack is standing, she starts to get weak in the knees and she reminds me of one of those old newsreels of the bobbysoxers swooning over Frank Sinatra.

    That’s a a face only Alan Greenspan could love.

    P.S. Isn’t it fun to get snarky about Dem. women being so ugly (inside and outside)? It’s such a target rich environment.

    I hears him say this just before the clip shut off and thought, “What kind of hateful comment was THAT?” Like this is the first time balloons were ever dropped at a political convention.

    Seriously, did this guy just get out of school? Or was he just worried that Mitchel wouldn’t remember to bring him one up to the booth so that he could play with it in his car seat on the way home to keep him from licking the window?

    That’s correct, it’s called the “Castle Doctrine” and is a huge part of what I love about Texas.

    And in an unrelated note, when I saw the headline of this story, I thought it said:
    

    Attack of the killer GOP baboons!

    I was very confused when I stared reading… no baboons.
