Saturday night open thread
What a week, huh? What did you do today to decompress? I cleaned the house, had friends over, cleaned the house again, and did crafts and games with the kids. We’re having a Malkin Family Game Tournament: Boggle, Monopoly Jr., Upwords, and two video games (Beach Bocce and Big Brain Academy). I stink at Bocce.
Speaking of kids, did you hear Piper Palin’s interview? She’s a darling.

Michelle,
Do you think you could start another petition for the end-of-term pardons President Bush should give to Ramos and Campeon (sp?)? Their treatment is something I would expect of the Obama Administration, not one that occurred while we still had a semblance of democracy.
I went out and purchased even more firearms, just in case!
I have a friend who cleans at 2AM – are you one of those?
Senator Inouye will be heading up appropriations, so I’m trying to decide where to put all my earmarks.
Ok, I envy you the family night…
The attacks on Palin by McCain’s camp helped me get over the defeat.
“That would be awesome!”
She’s precious.
I cleaned the kitchen big time. I have a cooktop that is a bear to clean.
Oh, and I’m also reading to asset management/protection books.
two, not to. Sheesh.
I did some grocery shopping, picked some stuff up at Home Depot and and tried my best to ignore the feeling of shear terror that has enveloped me since Tuesday night.
Is there proof that someone from the McCain camp is attackig Sarah Palin?
I keep thinking it’s the left trying to get in a few last licks on someone they fear could be “the new Reagan” before the dust settles on this election……but it’s being blamed on the GOP.
You are obviously Joe Biden…
Sounds to me that the democrats still fear Sarah Palin. The attacks on her probably will continue in hope that they can stop Sarah Palin making a run for the Presidency in four years.
In a way though with the huge mess obama and the democrats will make, perhaps it would be best that Sarah does not run for President.
I spent the day laughing at idiotic NFL cheerleaders who are quick with a “Sharpie.”
Was going to decompress playing some Fallout 3. Spent bday money and bought a new video card but the DVI to VGA adapter won’t connect so I’m feeling more compressed than decompressed. Bond movies are on Spike though, that’s always a bonus
Drinking heavily, loaned a buddy a couple grand to finish putting new windows in his house.
I don’t need no stinkin’ program to lend a helping hand.
I spent the day watching college football. I don’t have a favorite team I’m just tired of watching the news.
We were watching Dirty Harry movies earlier today. Been raining here for hours…
The Arizona Republic is calling on McCain to defend his VP choice, mentioning something about “honor”.
http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/opinions/articles/2008/11/09/20081109sun2-09.html
Meanwhile, writers in several East Coast newspapers are calling Palin a moron.
It’s some GOP that are attacking her. They are going
through Cameron on Fox and he knows them. She
spoke out tonight on our local Fox 9 pm newscast. She called them jerks and said that the bit about the
clothes was not true. She said the clothes belong to
the RNC and not to her. The more I see of her, the more I like her. Go Sarah!!!!
Piper’s awesome and I love the way she combs Triggs hair. You could tell she was lappin up all the attention when on stage with her mom. Great family, just love ‘em all.
I had a very interesting day.
On Thursday I sent a letter to the editor of the local paper that outlined what I feared we could expect from an Obama administration: higher energy prices, consumer prices, taxes; Fairness Doctrine; gun grabbing; wealth redistribution; abandoning Israel; etc…
The letter ran in the paper today. This morning at about 9:00 I get a phone call from a guy who read my letter, and said he felt compelled to call and tell me that he agreed with every point I made, and that when he thought back through all of The Ones statements from the campaign he can now clearly see that everything I had listed is going to happen.
Like many here, he was disappointed that the American people could not see through the empty suit.
Oh, and I smoked a couple of chuck roasts and made chili.
Painted and cleaned the gutters here in Michigan.
Spending the evening ignoring the kids and sputtering about politics on the internet.
Presto — which morons on the east coast are calling Palin a moron?
I took the wife to see the Moving Wall exhibition, which is in my neck of the woods (South Florida) through Veteran’s Day. The Moving Wall is a 1/2-scale version of the Vietnam Memorial wall in Washington DC. I’ve seen the real deal in DC a couple of times, and I’d already seen the Moving Wall when it came here about nine years ago, but my wife had never seen either one before so it was a treat for her. I took a few pictures which I hope to post on my blog tomorrow.
God bless our veterans, our troops and our country.
I took a long nap. I’m on stage two of getting braces and my head is like a vise. Wasted Saturday.
Sunday’s looking rather traditional: yardwork!
Piper is adorable.
Now that is a Saturday well spent, curiozities!
Let’s see, what did I do to de-compress? I stopped watching the news. All the swooning, hysterical news people who are supposed to be objective, you know, “watchdogs” of government are too much for me right now. I did send an e-mail to the ombudsman of the Washington Post, regarding her admission that the Post’s campaign coverage was just a little slanted. Wanna read it? Okay, if you insist:
To: ombudsman@washpost.com
Subject: Obama Tilt In Coverage
Date: Sat, 8 Nov 2008 19:35:18 -0600
Dear Ms. Howell,
Thank you for your ombudsman-like in-depth statistical investigation into whether or not the WashPost tilted its coverage toward one candidate or the other in the past Presidential campaign. Thankfully, we regular work-a-day people out here in the U.S.A. really do not need an extensive investigation to ascertain your conclusion.
“I don’t at all discount the importance of issues, but we had a larger purpose, to convey and explain a campaign that our own David Broder described as the most exciting he has ever covered, a narrative that unfolded until the very end. I think our staff rose to the occasion.”
“Exciting” – ah, yes – capturing the Emotion is so much more paramount than the Facts and Issues. Thank goodness for that “Larger Purpose”.
And thank you, Bill Hamilton and David Broder, for taking the time to “explain” Obama’s campaign to me, as I’m not nearly smart enough to figure it out all by myself. What would I do without folks like you?
Please, Ms. Howell, do not lose any sleep worrying about the abandonment of all journalistic objectivity and responsibility to investigate all candidates’ backgrounds by your Bill Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton is just one of hundreds of malfeasant news editors around the nation who acted like hysterical teenagers at a rock concert in his approach to covering the Obama campaign. He’s actually pretty much the run of the mill, now that we no longer have a real national press corps.
I trust that Mr. Hamilton was not one of the editors who sent reporters out to demand a sample of Governor Palin’s amniotic fluid to determine if she or her daughter, Bristol, is the mother of little Trig. Or can I trust that much?
Shame on all of you. You’ve failed us miserably. The real Problem is that men like Bill Hamilton are so arrogant that they don’t even comprehend what they have done to the nation. Hamilton didn’t do his job. He and Broder were never interested in finding out who Barack Obama really is and from whence he came. So, now that The One is ascended, we’ll have to find out for ourselves, for better or for worse – the hard way.
In the meantime, y’all just keep emoting and swooning a little while longer.
Somewhere George Orwell must be looking on in horror. Who could have imagined all this but he?
Planted petunias, cut the grass and waxed philosophical about the meaning of the universe. Petunias and grass look good.
Now I have to replace all the baseboards in the house with new and improved baseboards. Home & Garden Television has ruined my retirement
But I get to go to Home Depot and buy some neat new tools 
I have finally started to go back into the gym on a regular basis and it has really helped in venting the frustration of the past week through intense physical activity. Mrs. Boomer and I were able to spend some quality time with our granddaughter today. She is 11 months old and spent the day walking around the house thinking she is hot stuff due to the new trick she has learned. I forgot how cute they can be at that age. We also ran some errands with her picking up groceries and another box of ammo at Wal-Mart. All in all it was a pretty good day at our house, hope everyone else had a good day too!
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒE (mo-lone lah-veh) Translation: Come and take them!
Taking care of business now so I can
participate minimally in the Obamaconomy.
Just read Gateway Pundit’s
piece on the Dums plan to take over our 401Ks.
What’d they say back in the 60′s?
Tune Out Turn Off Drop Out??
We’re the counter culture now-
I plan to avoid the rush and plaster
IMPEACH OBAMA bumperstickers everywhere
asap.
It’s over, it’s done, the end has begun.
When you listen to fools the mob rules…
-Black Sabbath, Mob Rules
I’m off to serve at year long tour of duty in Korea, hope I have a country to return to.
I wanted to go to the local rifle range this morning to check the velocity of one of my loads. However just as I got to the rangs it started to rain. So did not get to shoot. Rain would ruin the chronograph.
So drove a bit farther and looked for a geocache which I then was the first to find that cache.
Every day is still Monday until I get home on Friday, then it’s 28 days of Saturdays.
Otherwise, I’m running drilling riser.
I have a catering staff & 15 roustabouts to handle the cleaning.
If I could just find someone to handle all the paperwork, I could sit back and watch the pipe turn all day.
Oh, and watching my alma mater, the powerhouse of the Big 12 North – Kansas State, get their a$$es handed to them again.
Today was Sabbath. My father in law went to church with us for the first time ever. He moved in with us this week so it may have been out of obligation – LOL. Then, we rested. It was the Sabbath! I am checking what is going on here to find out – nothing. That is not such a bad thing.
Went on a field trip to a farm with my kids and their AWANAs club, cleaned the house, slept 12 hours last night, and have watched about zero news this week since Tuesday evening. A decompress was in serious order since I won a school board election Tuesday, hahaha.
I did enjoy walking around Quincy, CA and shocking several of my friends and acquaintances by mentioning that Obama was not my pick when they assumed I shared their afterglow. That was kinda fun.
Oh….and did I mention the whiskey shots? Yes, there were a few whiskey shots and some Alaska Amber ale.
All in all the AWANAs trip and the sleep did the most good.
The Columbus Dispatch has more about Helen Jones-Kelly’s use of her office to fundraise for Obama
Little Piper will grow up to be her mom made over, and that’s a wonderful thing! She’s a darling! That video of her with Trig is the cutest, most heart-warming thing ever.
The whole Palin family stole my heart. The state of Alaska is very lucky to have them.
I did my year long remote assignment in the Republic of Korea at Osan AB Sep 93-94. It sucked then and I hope it doesn’t suck for your tour. From the few active duty folks I know that are pulling their tours over there with you they are able to communicate regularly with their families and friends thanks to the internet (wish I could have had that capability for my tour). I just hope and pray the “elected one” doesn’t embolden the crazies north of the DMZ to try to unify the peninsula again while you are there. We will do what we can to defend the home front while you are over there. Fly Safe!
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒE (mo-lone lah-veh) Translation: Come and take them!
If you end up at Camp Casey, they’ve got a pretty good (although short) golf course. But that was 10 years ago, man I’m getting old.
B-1/15th FA Camp Casey ’96-’97
Kristoff is calling Palin a moron in the NY Times — reporting as fact the smear that Palin doesn’t know Africa is a continent.
How disgusting are these people? Very.
We built the first fire of the season in the fireplace, ordered pizza, watched Mizzou/K-State game on TV. No talking of politics this evening. Been quite a week!
On Thursday took the family on vacation to sunny Florida. Right know the kids and wife are sleeping and I was doing some work on the laptop by the pool and beach bar. The night air is moving in so I don’t know how much longer I can sit out here in shorts and a T-shirt.
I am taking the next week and forgetting about the last week. When I get home then I will start figuring out how to plan around the Demo’s onslaught. My lib friends are estatic. I want to see how soon they have buyer’s remorse. Especially those who just wanted “change”. They are about to find out that is all they are going to have left. I figure most of the uneducate change voters will be royally ticked off by next April or May.
From what I am seeing so far of the news this is going to be the Gaffe-tastic Administration. Well we have 2010 to make some changes. Thank you GWB for showing us the “new tone” and how nice guys always finish last.
Watched Disney films throughout the day. The animated classics and some of the Pixar modern adaptions. Escapism, Disney style is absolutely the way to go to cleanse yourself of such a rough week.
The republican party is going through that cleansing as well. We need to reevaluate that the party can not escape its conservatism and appease the left.
Bobby Jindal said it best, People elect politicians who are authentic. Obama is authentically liberal, while McCain faked being a conservative.
pot.kettle
I thought how convenient, they admit they lie , they didn’t write on the chalkboard what they and the rest of the editor deciders should write though:
I know this is the biggest betrayal of the American trust in the history of the country! I recognize my role as watchdog for truth and will never neglect that responsibility again.
They need to write this in every MSM break room in the land because we just hired someone with out the experience or understanding of freedom,liberty, opportunity and promise of America.
Other than that I hope the guy does well enough not to cause too much damage and someday my kids still have a future.
De com press is hard to do
(sung like breaking up is hard to do)
Yes, Piper is a DOLL!
Today is my Friday/Saturday. Usual quiet day at work, thankfully. Contemplating the horrors of the week. Including missing work yesterday due to naso/bronchial snarfelonous. Brain leaking out of nose into Kleenex box faster than I can blow. Voice like a gravel road. Much better today, able to work reg 12hr shift.
Vacation next week so I can properly chill and recharge. Weather to turn wintery for good excuse to stay in and heal. And pray muchly. We are in for a rough road ahead. Glad God is still with us as He has always promised. Even if half of US chose wrong. That’s the human nature He gave us knowing full well we’d screw it up a gazillion times in 6 millenia. Someday, we will actually learn from our mistakes. So glad for voices of reason in the fog of reality, like Michelle and others.
Blessings to all.
Gotta go blow some more brain matter into another Kleenex. Thankfully with diminishing volume. Like Calvin used to say to Hobbes after he sneezed a snot-wad into a Kleenex: “Oh, my brain is leaking!”. Loved that strip!
I spent the day on the street corner with my “The End Is Near” sign.
No, seriously, it’s been raining all day so I took the opportunity to watch classic movies and cuddle with my six-toed cat. That made her very happy. Me too.
I also spent a lot of the day being thankful I live in a small town very unlikely to have riots. One of only two coastal counties in Calif to go
McCain/Palin.I also spent some time clinging to my Bible and thinking about the gun a friend is giving me (don’t know what kind yet). Woo-hoo! I’m a great shot! Around here I can just go target shoot in the woods.
Did my year at Camp Stanley in Uijongbu ’99-’00. If they still have the big, blue Air Force rock outside the Weather Station, my name is on it! lol The year is long, but the country is not so bad. I spent the whole year drunk which I really regret. Wish I could have gotten out to see more of the nation.
Don’t be too worried about the North. If they’re gonna come over it’ll be on a Saturday or Sunday morning, cuz no one’s in fighting condition, if you know what I mean! hehehe Of course, that was a long time ago…
I did some drawing
I hate to do the self promo thing but … you can’t see what I drew without a link to it.

Have a great rest of the weekend.
Watched the most recent Rambo movie again…I needed the closure. All better now.
Joy, my home state of Colorado reportedly had an all-time record number of background investigation requests for gun purchasers following the election.
Gee, wonder why? Gun stores frantically calling suppliers trying to get resupplied. One gun store owner said he’d had several customers buying guns wearing Obama T-Shirts. He figured Obama will try to stem gun ownership and they wanted to buy before that happened.
… still waiting to see an interview with Barry’s favorite drug dealer
My Bearcats just finished off the Mountaineers in OT…whew!
My 11 year old son started going to the gym with me this week. This is a big deal for us. We can have some serious healthy testosterone-laden guy time. He’s just a great kid. He and Piper will make a lovely political couple in about 15 years.
Took my niece to her sports physical today, so she can play high school basketball.
Trying to think of ways to suggest to my sister-in-law that she give up cigarettes. Poor thing has a continual cough. She think it must be allergies…riiight.
Right now, I’m sipping on a glass of single-barrel Curzan, trying to catch up on my Malkin posts, only to find that there isn’t much to catch up on today. Funny, but I think that I take her enormous output for granted. Better check that and not begrudge her some time off.
If I stay up any later, I think I’ll watch Cast Away. Love the message in that movie. Gotta keep breathing. Tomorrow the sun will rise and we don’t know what the tide will bring.
Speaking of “Saturday Night” and about Palin, I thought about SNL tonight, which I haven’t watched since the mid 90s and was thinking how sad it must be for them and I thought about how self appreciative liberals are of themselves.
Even with the amazing amount of credence given to SNL the last few weeks, and even with this last few weeks being the most press and publicity this horribly lousy show has gotten, their ratings still barely get above cable show ratings. If SNL was not on the worst network on TV, the pathetic ratings that show gets would be certain death for the show.
While I miss some of the really funny people that have come in and out of that show, I can not help but also think of the absolutely atrocious people and writers and how without a left leaning loving media this show would go by the wayside without a hint of longing from the public.
I was watching ET with my 90 year old grandmother. Just a Saturday to spend with her as I don’t get to see her to often. Halfway through the movie she asks me, ” Where is the alien? It seems this movie is all about that strange looking kid who was adopted by that family.” Ah, the golden years.
Listening to the Obama ‘press conference’ I noticed he used 36 um’s in less than 2 min at one point. I tried to go back and just count em all up, but I got lost somewhere around 137.
It seems to me that someone should be able to setup a contest of some sort, to ‘guess the number of umms’ at the next Obama event.
Since we should be getting all sorts of minor Obama events for the next say, 4 years or so, well, I think it might be a nice pasttime to just count em all up.
Anyone got some ideas on how to get the ball rolling on this?
Maybe we could try to get MM to setup a poll with ranges of counts before each major speaking event. I would figure the ‘State of the Union’ address to be a ‘low volume’ event, while a simple press conference could be a real ’slammer’!
After Rambo I watched United 93.
I readied all the landscaping for another long winter and hung the Christmas lights. FamilyWomen was on the computer all day ranting, via e-mail ,to everyone about the ramifications of the election.
Enjoy the family Michelle. We’ll see you Monday.
Winner gets a new 9mm Glock.
For Barack Obama:
I went to the Casino up the road from us and dropped a few bucks. I find that very relaxing. It’s like playing video games, but you don’t always leave your money behind. Better odds than the stock market right now. Might even be a better return than my 401k. Also, I’ve been trying to get on to the Free Republic site all day. They seem to be off line. Anyone know what’s up over there?
I had forgotten about geocaching. I should pick that up again. Which reminds me that I need to teach the daughter about avalanche awareness and ‘Maps, Compasses & Orienteering’ in case we hit the back country this winter. Thanks!
Just got back from the Ski & Snowboard Expo at the Convention Center and we’re heading up boarding again early tomorrow morning. Should get several days in this week.
Im also hoping my buddies in the Secret Service will finally have some down time now that the election season is over. They always disappear for several months every cycle.
I’ll leave counting b. Hussein’s uhhhs and ummm to you guys. I have yet to listen to one of his speeches and don’t intend to ever listen to one.
I’ve read what he’s said, but to listen to him is too painfully annoying.
I worked today. Nice that I work out of my home.
My wife and I took some of her homemade brownies over to our new neighbor’s to welcome them to the neighborhood.
Later this evening I checked out Randy’s drawings
I’m just wondering why the 8 year old boy who killed his father and someone else, didn’t get on this page. So here it is, posted.
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/11/09/america/Child-Charged-Optional.php
They want to try him as an adult, I don’t know if that is right. I can’t imagine being 8 and actually plotting something like that. I feel like he had assistance in some manner.
Not sure if this is already going around, but I just heard about it, and double checked on the Illinois Lottery website. The winning Pick 3 numbers on the day after the election were, 666.

Salukidog, Those are some scary digits, don’t mean to Coast to Coast AM, but the Illuminati doesn’t seem to be too far out there with the strange events of the last year.
Whos this Wonkette Character? I don’t get this article.
What is she/he/it talking about?
Still in the middle of a bender.
After his twisted “Nancy Reagan” comment, let me blow off a bit of steam on Obama. He’s a little ****. Rhymes with twit.
For what it is worth, here is my two cents worth regarding the campaign staffers bashing Sarah-cuda. It is probable that these staffers incompetence in running Johny Macs campaign was noted by SP. And, as such, are not the sorts who SP would want on any campaign staff of her own. As such, these staffers are trying to do everything in their power to derail any future political aspirations SP my have in the future to assist in these staffers maintaining a higher level of job security. In short, they effed up the campaign, and SP would not want anything to do with them in the future. So they don’t want SP to be the future of the party because she would not enlist their services.
–Obamas birth certificate?
I recently read a forensic analysis of the document that was (is) posted by the Obama camp.
(google: atlas shrugs techdude)
Then I went to the Obama site and looked at the document. What is said about the border is obvious once pointed out. (I work with Photoshop CS3) It makes techdudes other points all the more convincing.
Obama may haved a genuine birth certificate but the posted document certainly looks fraudulent.
Michelle, Ed, Allah,…anyone. Has anyone seen the techdude analysis refuted?
My Saturday night was great! I had the privilege of being one of six Marine Veterans in the cake honor guard at the 233rd Marine Corps Birthday Celebration in Payson, Arizona. Semper Fidelis and Happy Birthday Marines!
we celebrated Nov 3 by going to the gun store. Worked on Election day at my local precinct got into an interesting “friendly” discussion with an Obama Campaign worker that didn’t know who Margaret Sanger (the racsist starter of Planned Parenthood )- she knows now and that Obama is big supporter of this group. It got started because I had a sign that says Support Equality before birth and after…we didn’t even get onthe topic of the botched abortion issues…
My husband and I work with Young Marines and I continued to create more decorations for our Young Marine- Marine Birthday Ball on Nov 15 and today we were with them at our yearly Car Wash…we had a great turnout…and life goes on.
I have decide to be part of the Loyal opposition and to wear my Sarah Palin Team Member tee shirt- proudly. Pray that the liberals will change ALL their bad stands and policies but Verify if they say they do.
Don’t forget our VETERANS THIS NEXT WEEK!!!
Our lives are so busy, we just did the usual. My husband and sons are at our family cabin helping to finish the basement while my parents are out of town. Big surprise when they get back!
I’m here holding down the fort with my daughter who had ballet today and pas de deux class tomorrow.
We had a girl’s night out tonight. We took one of my daughter’s friends and saw The Duchess. Wonderful movie! It made us glad we live in this century though. We finished up with munchies at Denny’s and reading in front of the fireplace at home. It was a nice evening.
How best to deal with the stress of the upcoming change in Administrations? I keep thinking back to Morgan Freeman’s words in “Deep Impact” (or as they called it on MST3K, “Dee Pimp Act”). Life will go on. We will get up in the morning and go to work. We will pay our bills (except for those waiting for Obama to do that for them), etc, etc.
We’re not like the crazies on the left. We’re stronger than they are. We won’t flip out. We won’t deny that Obama is our president. When the dust settles and Obama loses his appeal with our allies, we won’t pander to them by claiming Obama is not “our” president as the Dixie Chicks did with Bush. We will stand by our beliefs next year just as we did last year…because even if the administration doesn’t care (Bush on immigration), we care.
I spent the evening at a retirement party for one of my wife’s coworkers. It was a nice time, but I was due to start work a 10PM with the local volunteer ambulance, and frankly, we cut it close.
No talk of politics at the party.
I am done watching the news for awhile. I need a break.
We’re a Nascar family here, so, after the usual Saturday runs to the office and stores, it was home to watch Nationwide racing. 3 championships are still up in the air, so it makes for exciting viewing, this weekend. Having moved from the D.C. area, after 40 years of living there, I feel “detached” from Washington politics. I’m still trying to figure out who’s who in politics locally and understand the local issues.
REALLY stressful week. Black Tuesday (no pun intended),vicious attacks on Sarah with no response from McCain, then Obama’s disastrous first press conference insulting a venerable First Lady and cheapening the Office of President with a fake sign and mutt references.
One bright spot was Sarah getting exonerated of/from? that Harper Valley PTA Troopergate scandal.
Wore all black on Wednesday and took all the bumper stickers off the back of my car. Catharsis.
After a solid month on the road (coast to coast, border to border) I am whooped! I washed the new Tacoma and cleaned up the garage. Then took a nap! Today, early Mass. Then vacuum, dust, laundry. The Steelers play later this afternoon so I hope to watch that game.
I spent the day with my wife and friends, did some shopping, and played some Mercenaries 2.
Oh, yeah. I received my custom-made bumper sticker knocking the Hussein regime and confirmed that my Hussein/Hitler t-shirt is on its way.
Yep. That sums it up.

I am reminded of a saying about sheep.
“In levying taxes and in shearing sheep, it is well to stop when you get down to the skin.”
I personally refuse to be afraid, I refuse to submit. Obama will be my President because that is in accordance with the law of the land. And what are we if not a nation of laws?
But remember, as a nation of laws, if a law can grant you power and position, so too can the law take it away.
Obama supporters would do well not to forgetthat any government that is capable of giving you everything you need is also powerful enough to take away everything you have.
Never, never, never give in. Never surrender to evil.

(psssst Joe. It’s sheer terror. Unless you are afraid of scissors.) ;^)
You know, a 7-year-old kid’s gotta be so much fun. Unassuming, totally innocent. And she quite candidly said she’d rather go snowmobiling than hang out at Chuckie Cheese! Keep her!
saw an infomercial for the “Odopey President” coin last night. gag.
I’m so already sick of this dope.
Good morning from norther Idaho folks.
I finished yesterdays to-do list and saved the tough one for today. We bought a new flat screen TV. GGGGEEESSSS!!!! How the heck do I hook up all these components?
1. TV
2. VHS
3. DVD
4. Record player
5. Six speakers
6. Satellite receiver
7. DVR
8. Amplifier receiver
9. Blue ray
I should call Obama. He can fix it/sarc
What I did to decompress:
Nothing as of yet. Hopefully when I head to the Fire Department (Becoming a Firefighter) Ill get a chance to forget about this election business.
If that dont work… I guess a marathon of Everybody Loves Raymond should do it.
Love That Frank!
It is Sunday Morning, I am thinking about blogging. Starting my own blog, I have guest blogged a couple of places. Why not kick the training wheels off, and start an online journal of my own. I have been playing around with blog titles.
I thought about this one “Mark my Words, Gird Your Loins” but it is so pre “The Second Coming” ago
Hey lad, that could be a country tune!

There once was a politician named McCain
Who for conservatives had nothing but disdain
With his running mate under attack
He would not lift a finger to fight back
But said: “Who? Sorry. I don’t recall the name.”
Very good there, very good indeed.
But sad as it is true.

And it continues. Adolph Hitler planed to take ownership of all large industry by issuing bonds–he just wanted to wait until after the war.
Paper for the banks-even those NOT in touble
Paper for the Auto industry
Paper for our 401s and 529s
AKA: nothing for something

AJ,

Hate to be negative, but I shopped for new guns, of course.
Worst disappointment: Obama waffles on missiles to Europe in the face of Russia’s missile challenge, and the Polish president reveals Obama in a lie about it.
The dead have risen. Is it election day yet? From the great Mark Steyn on McCain, etc. Another read and weep:
“Too dumb to be Veep…
“…but perfectly qualified to work at a big-time news weekly. As John McCormack points out, just about everything in this Newsweek sentence is wrong:
‘The day of the third debate, Palin refused to go onstage with New Hampshire GOP Sen. John Sununu and Jeb Bradley, a New Hampshire congressman running for the Senate, because they were pro-choice and because Bradley opposed drilling in Alaska.’
John Sununu has a 100% pro-life record. Jeb Bradley was not running for the Senate; he was Congressman for the NH First District until 2006 and was seeking to get his old seat back. And a dummy who doesn’t even know Africa’s a continent supposedly is fully up to speed on a Congressional candidate’s views on abortion?
By the way, if the issue here is the lack of party solidarity demonstrated by Governor Palin, a couple of points:
1) When I saw her in Laconia, NH, she was on stage with Sununu and Bradley and behaved perfectly well with them.
2) Joe Kenney, the Republican gubernatorial candidate for New Hampshire and a current state senator, told me the McCain team refused to allow him to appear on stage at the rally. The official explanation was that he hadn’t had a Secret Service background check, and it would not be possible to arrange one in time. Needless to say, this was not persuasive.
From this last few days, the McCain campaign seems determined to go down in history as a blend of personal viciousness and strategic ineptitude. Not an attractive combination.”

KCK,
new guns are negative?
snap out of it
No football today. GEES!!!!! I can’t get these TV components together. See post #81.
Are there any Obama community service people out their to help victims like me who are the media challenged?
In all honesty I would wait a few weeks b4 buying a gun as the price is being driven up by obambi voters who got their wish and AINOs who stayed home and pouted.
analogy: I didn’t have to buy a flag on 9/11 did you?
Fam,
plug in old teevee and ice some beer,
deal with your high tech toy monday.
observation: all new tech ain’t progress
other option: ice beer and turn on radio
