So, another week begins. I guess the best part of the weekend would have to be the Giants beating Dallas yesterday. It’s not that I’m a big Giants fan (though I don’t dislike them; unfortunately, I’m cursed with being a Jets fan. Damn you Joe Namath!!), but I’ve long despised the Cowboys. I feel about them the same way I feel about Notre Dame.
Otherwise, two days once again flew by in a wink, and not even the spectacle of the Obama-Cinton cat fight brought much joy. My hope is that they claw each other to pieces and John Edwards rushes in to fill the void. Not much chance of that with the traditional media haven chosen to ignore him entirely (except to sneer at his hair or call him “angry”). But, one can hope.
OK, let’s get this over with.
Erica Jong at Huff Post:
Hot damn! The bus was actually ON TIME this morning. Even with an accident at the intersection before my stop. So it CAN be done.
Mondays still suck, though. 😕
David Sirota, also in the Huff Post, on Obama’s wide stance on Iraq:

I would say :yippee: “you are
#4#5″ in GREEK but I forgot to copy THE GREEK before it “went away” and I must find time to refind PJ’s post 🙄 😉 My Bad :spank: :doh: then I forgot to send this post 😳 :doh: “… toooo many irons in the Fire…” (eek, which I HAVE to feed)…… :growl: A!I!V!😮 Wow, those Krazy Krauts 😮
They now want to exterminate the Rauchers . Don’t know what genius came up with the idea of reincarnating the yellow star of David for the purpose of banning smokers. :omg:
Guess it’s just that Krazy Kraut humor :billcat: :tongue:
:reaper:
I am still sitting, having just read story, with mouth “dropped open”. They, The Gov of Germany and the people in general, profess tolerance, then does an ACTION such as this. WTF. :no:
:fist: A!I!V! :fist:
I might be moving towards Hill. :omg: :reaper: MIGHT … :nod: A!I!V! :fist:
Bush Urges Unity Against Iran
So, Bush is on a “peace mission” :jerk: :fustrate:
re 10 :nod: :jerk: … :barf: :fist: A!I!V! :fist:
If you read that story, it isn’t the German Gov’t that’s printing those t-shirts, it’s the smokers who feel as if they’re being persecuted by the anti-smoking laws who are printing them up (equating the anti-smoking laws with the persecution of the Jews). A pretty tacky (to put it very mildly) thing to do, for sure. But it isn’t the German government doing it.
From Open Left: It’s nice when an industry takes such pride in buying off politicians.
Funny, up in these parts, when you should somebody in the face with birdshot, you get charged with a crime.
And I thought we were the toothless redneck yokels up here.
Oh, hell, as if things weren’t bad enough already, the national helium reserve will be depleted in the next eight years. And it’s non-renewable, and there’s no way to make synthetic helium.
BTW it is the German Gov that put up the ban re smoking … as soon as those T-Shirts came out they should have said “something”… and have been “johnny on the spot” to be a watchdog…… is just my opinion 🙂
…. the same with the controversy between ALL THREE candidates,
especially between Clinton and Obama to calm the situation. :slap: … :yawn: 🙄 A!I!V! Except not our current 👿 Gov :omg: to get involve with ANYTHING. :growl: :omg: :growl:
WOW. That does it…IMMEDIATELY, we can arrest Cheney on a FELONY. :pirate: :yippee: A!I!V!
Germany does have laws about Nazi paraphernalia. I don’t know if these shirts are technically covered by that or not.
I guess free speech is OK, as long as it’s speech that we agree with. As soon as its something we find personally offensive, we cease to be champions of the first amendment.
To quote our favorite preznit, “there ought to be limits to freedom.”
Well, I don’t think that smokers in Germany are gonna get very far in gaining sympathy with a campaign like that. :smack:
No, neither do I. They don’t get much sympathy from me, anyway, but comparing themselves to victims of the holocaust is beyond ridiculous. It’s even worse than the Kristians in this country whining about how persecuted and abused they are.
Huckster admits: It’s the theocracy dude!
In that article, they quote John Schmalzbauer, the Strong Chair in Protestant Studies at Missouri State University.
I believe Schmalzbauer is German for “lard farmer.”
Lard Farmer! :rofl2: :rofl2: :hubba:
:ear: Schmaltz or schmalz is rendered chicken or goose fat used for frying or as a spread on bread, in German and Jewish cuisine :ear:
yummmmmmm :rabbi:
:dancers:
hey pj dinner later?
Hey, Sean, that sounds good. When you gonna be in town?
Hey Sean! I’ve just been having a little IM discussion w/ PJ. Don’t know whereabouts in town you are, but we could meet at a Tullys or Chilis restaurant somewhere. Tullys has a west and east location and there’s a nice Chilis next to Shoppingtown mall. Just name the time & place.
:yippee:
Or, I was thinking you could park your rig at Wal-Mart or Home Depot or BJ’s or whatever, which are right up the street from us (and an easy off the highway), and we could come fetch you.
Whatever’s easiest.
:fist: A!I!V! :fist:
i will probably be at the pilot truckstop since i will have a trailer loading chicago into the oncenter tomorrow unfortunately im not “on” the tour or you would definitely have tickets
eya gang!
the helium story is a goodun.
seems to me to be a real long term opportunity for investment.
OK, I think I know where that is. 7th North St, right?
Give us a call when you get in. Maybe call Granny, since she tends to answer her phone more than I do. Her number is the same as mine, except the last two digits are 86.
Hey there, SJ. Nice to see ya.
Yay! We’re selling weapons to the Saudis, in order to spread democracy throughout the region.
In the course of the New Hampshire primary, Darren Garnick, a writer for Slate.com., set out on a quest to photograph his 5-month-old daughter Dahlia being held by every one of the candidates.
Darren and his wife Stacy appeared on CNN on Monday to describe the results and show off some of the photos
snip
In the photo with Rudy Giuliani, however, Dahlia is wailing and Giuliani seems almost as upset. “Rudy wasn’t happy,” said Garnick. “Dahlia smiled for the first two seconds and then she started crying and Rudy was panicky. … He didn’t want to be photographed with a screaming baby. … He tossed her right back to me like a football.”

I’m sorry. :bow: I’m sorry. :bow: I’m sorry {kinda 😉 … but I am going to say both Clinton with Edwards have my vote. :pirate: :yippee: …. And they are SOOOOOOOOO White :growl: A!I!V! :pirate:
Oh I forgot ….Kucinich in a POWERFUL Spot (Richards and Biden too) AND OBAMA ALSO!!!!!!!!!!!!getting ready to run.A!I!V! :fist:
…BTW Sue P., (giggle) How is your hubby & Minnie :fist:
blah blah blah blah blah 😛
The Rudy Giuliani baby toss. Keeping America safe since 9/11.
No surprise that the baby didn’t warm up to Captain Combover. After all, his OWN kids can’t stand him either!
:rofl2:
Druid, hubby is much better. He can walk without a cane and he’s doing pretty well. He’s still slow, and he can only walk limited distances but, it is really a pleasure to be able to walk around a supermarket or the backyard with him.
Minnie just saw the vet today, she’s healing very well and the vet says we’re just going to watch it to decide what if anything needs to be done. (Oh and the vet, an Obama supporter, is now considering Edwards.)
Now, please forgive me, but Roxie has been on my mind. Do you know how she’s doing?
It’s really interesting this year how fluid all our votes are. I think (hope) that means we’re mostly OK with any of the nominees. I’ve given money only to Edwards, but Hillary has done some good things too. And, I think she is the toughest of all of them. When you run against Republicans you really need to be able to take it and give it.

Giuliani: 9/11 is why I support insurance fund.
From Think Progress:
“Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani said Saturday that his experience as New York City’s mayor during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks is a big reason why he supports a national insurance backup fund. ‘Maybe I feel more strongly about this because of what I went through as mayor. I don’t even know how to describe Sept. 11. I don’t know if catastrophe is even the right word,’ Giuliani said. ‘There’s no possible way we could have gotten through that alone. No possible way.’â€

SUE P. and ALL Good Evening … I just got in…and Sue I would LOVE :love: to tell you about Roxie next post. :growl: A!I!V! :fist:
re 47 outstanding Sean! That was amazing. Does that guy have a CD?
Sue P,, Awwwww re your hubby. AWWWWWW re you pulling Extra Duty
Awwwwwwwwwww re Minnie :pup: :pirate: :yippee: …
Re Roxie……
Roxie left a strange message, but said she is getting her messages; therefore, I leave messages on a regular basis I also send e-mails and post at certain times on her MySpace…but the posting on HER MySpace “page” I think that is for naught.
This is MY belief:
SHE SAID SHE IS GETTING HER MESSAGES ON CELL PHONE. Home phone is shut off but Cell is still on…(when her “home” phone was on and her cell died … I left messages on home phone…so someone had to turn the cell back on)…the home phone soon went offline permanently.
IF I had a Brain Tumor, and if I had a cell then I would like to “hear” from beyond. I would not be surprised if you feel her…there is ALSO much activity in the Milky Way and with the Sun and much further activity.
I have learn more about BRAIN tumors. If you OR RAGING or ANYONE would like to hear — especially at end of message I would LOVE 100 ZILLION others to listen to it and to “hear” hear… but Life is a 24/7 gauntlet … so life is getting “over” ….
the obstacles of Life. :tongue: :peace: :pent: :yinyang: :om: /|\
