Um…….let me get back to you.
It wasn’t enough that some mental infant in the Obama camp had a brain fart and helped select a Right To Work State in which to hold this year’s Democratic Convention, but there’s that Guilt By Association problem that seems to be getting in the way of the attendance of some Democrats.
Like Professor Van Helsing holding up a cross to keep Dracula away, some Democrats are having a visceral reaction to the thought of attending the convention.
Apparently many of them have…um…Prior Commitments, which include getting re-elected by staying as far away from Barack Obama as possible. Their excuses are only one slight level above “My dog ate my homework”.
So 2008!
Running away from the convention and Golfer In Chief like their hair is on fire are:
Senator Claire McCaskill, previously a swooning, fawning and practically spawning Obama fan whose face literally glowed at the mere mention of Teh Incandescent One’s very name. It seems that Claire has a little re-election problemo this year, so she won’t be fainting in the crowd for Barack.
Here’s a Three-Fer: Congressman Nick Rahall, Governor Earl Ray Tomblin and Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia collectively seem to have prior commitments, especially given that Barack Obama is about as popular in West Virginia right now as the Plague. In fact, in this year’s WV Presidential primary run against Barack, a prison inmate garnered 40% of the votes.
Utah’s Rep Jim Matheson got redistricted and is now living in one of the most Conservative districts in the state. Bummer, Jim. You might want to try attending the Republican convention this year.
Senator John Tester of Montana is being tested this year and it’s kind of an Open Book test, if you will. 51% of Montana voters have declared they are not going to vote for Barack Obama.
Congressman Mark Critz of Pennsylvania also got his butt redistricted and find himself representing a district that would more likely vote for Dracula than Barack Obama. Poor Rep. Critz could only say he has always focused on jobs, which is kind of ironic considering population loss in his previous district is the reason he’s in the condition he’s in. Good luck with that, Mark.
Congresswoman Kathy Hochul of New York–pissed-off Upstate New York, to be specific — won’t be making the trip this year either. She’s going to focus on farmers and small businessmen after having been guilty of complicity by ignoring both through association with Barack Obama.
Congressman Bill Owens also represents Upstate New York. See Kathy Hochul for his explanation.
Congressman John Barrow of Georgia is definitely too busy to attend this year’s Democratic Convention. Barrow also got his district redrawn, and since he is one of those rare remaining Blue Dog Democrats who actually broke from the sheep paddock a few times, he probably wouldn’t be caught attending that convention unless someone bound, gagged and dragged his ass in there.
Congresswoman Betty Sutton of Ohio finds herself in a race against Congressman Jim Renacci because their two districts now overlap, with Renacci retaining a large portion of his already established constituency. There will be blood. So Betty is smart enough to know that, given the more conservative nature of this new district, stopping by to watch Barack Obama nominated probably isn’t such a great idea.
Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar won’t be breaking gluten-free bread with the crowd this year either, although he says, he supports President Obama’s re-election. He just doesn’t support it as much as he supports his own re-election.
Whoa Massatoosits! Whoda thunk it!? With Tedward busy answering to Mary Jo and considering John Kerry has about as much pull as a rubber band, we have defections from the MA camp. Will wonders never cease? Both Congressman Stephen Lynch and Congressman Richard Neal are taking their re-elections “very seriously”. Which is why nobody will be seeing either of them at the Convention.
So close and……..yet so far! Congressmen Larry Kissell and Mike McIntyre of North Carolina just can’t make that long trip this year to….um….North Carolina. Kissell is especially serious. He voted to cite Eric Holder for Contempt and has formerly stated that he will not be supporting Barack Obama’s re-election bid.
The above list, of course, does not include the last-minute no-shows who will have ‘emergencies’ which will preclude their attendance, much as they REALLY want to be there.
But not to worry! Donna Brazille will be there!
I don’t suppose the convention will have that Parthenon appearance this year, do you?

"This is not culture. This is not custom. This is criminal."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Serious question though. If they are not attending do they still get to cast their super duper delegate votes? Phone it in? Early voting? Mail in? (the last two are pet peeves of mine. Early and mail in voting ar just invitations writ large for cheating, fraud, and give new meaning to that old phrase “vote early, vote often.” It is all BULL Shite! Get thee to the damn polls ON election day lest you have a valid reason to file an absentee ballot!) Oh and can we buy some of that purple ink the Iraqi’s use?
Meeshoe was all for Charlotte as the place for the convention:
Anything for a vacation, eh Meeshoe?
Too funny…no one wants to know him now. Last time, they were falling over themselves to switch their endorsements because he had such superior judgment and character. We coulda told you the guy is toxic. Oh yeah, we did.
Frankly, I think any of them that were 2008 swooners should be required to attend AND speak!
My congressman (Cardoza D-18) won’t be back next year because they redistricted him out of a job. I could care less if he goes to the convention or not.
That POS switched his endorsement from Hillary to Mr. Onederful in May 08.
Karma is a you-know-what.
I don’t suppose the convention will have that Parthenon appearance this year, do you?
They are $$millions$$ short on fundraising and they already reduced the convention to 3 days instead of 4.
I looked it up. Meeshoe was wrong. It was not 2009 it was 2010. I know, I know….cut her some slack. She takes so many vacations, it’s hard to keep them all straight.
Well if the guests keep dropping out they can always have the convention at the Charlotte Elks Lodge.
So Cardoza got flushed. Boo Effing Hoo.
I think I did a post on that NC vacation. It was very posh.
She takes so many vacations, it’s hard to keep them all straight.
Let’s send her and BO on a permanent vacation starting January 20th.
So Cardoza got flushed.
Cardoza replaced Condit who replaced Coehlo.
I live in hell.
Why can’t they get past the “C”s MyIQ?
The new guy is Jim Costa.
imust — love the Elks Lodge — that would be a perfect spot! Wait. Do I sound bitter??
Great post, Uppity! And great clearinghouse of information. I knew a few Dems had backed away from the Convention. Did not know it was this many. I am so glad to see Ms. McCaskill is squirming. Hillary lost Missouri by 1% in the primary, I am sure, in great part due to Sen. McCaskill following the advice of her teenaged daughter to run out and campaign for Obama.
Howz that looking right about now?
More offensive was how disrespectfully they treated all of us.
ROFL! Only a cuban whose name starts with the letter C is now allowed to run in Myiq’s district.
That is too damned funny about the guys from NC not even going to the convention. And yes I love it about ole Clair.
Yeah talk about the utimate poke in the face. Not being able to make it to NC when you live in NC. Priceless.
For reals. That they can even give that excuse with a straight face is funny.
By the way, I am happy to report that Tiger Lily made it through her first major thunder and lightning storm virtually unscathed. She only ran under the bed once, and to be fair, it was a house-shaking peal of thunder that almost had me running for cover too. She is now curled up next to me, one tired, but adorable little kitty.
Uppity, thanks for the low down on the Dems who are just not able to make the convention.
@Sophie…awwwww…..
Is anyone going to be watching this? This scene is priceless, esp. the ending and why do I see Hillary speaking to Andrea Mitchell when I watch this? LOL
Fredster, I’m certain Hillary would have said “we bitches” instead of “us bitches” but other than that…
I plan to DVR it because I want to watch The Newsroom “live.”
Remind me again why we give aid to these people?
http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/15/world/africa/egypt-clinton/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
SophieCT: There’s just going to be soo much good stuff on tonight. True Blood, Falling Skies, this show, Breaking Bad. Damn!! No dvr so I’ll have to watch replays of some of these.
imust: In the olden days we gave them $$$s so they wouldn’t go to the Russians. Now, I have no idea.
Priceless.
Fredster, I will be watching. That’s for sure.
I thought we were paying them off to play nice with Israel.
Nothing like an early day of getting sloshed. And I think I’m gonna like Ellen Burtsyn’s character in here!
Sophie, I maintain that cats and dogs react to thunder and lightning based on the bahavior of their people. Therefore it is my belief she ran under the bed because you got scared.
Ani said:
Now why am I *not* surprised at that!
Uppity, that is not who we want her to be slapping about the head! lol
Well, being an actress notwithstanding, it looks like Sigourney is doing a positive and kickass portrayal of our girl. I don;t know that the rest of it will be all that pretty. I love Ciaran Hinds but the reviews were saying that his lascivious Prez is more smarmy than charming, so we’ll never be out of the woods on that one.
UW: Idunno about your theory…I have two other cats that react whether I do or not. I think Tiger Lily is a particularly bold kitty.
But Sophie she is one of the most gorgeous kitties I have ever seen!
Heh…I wanna see *this* scene! (I hope this shows up!!)
Sadly, probably true. I’ve always enjoyed watching Sigourney Weaver so this will be a treat. And esp. since it won’t be Aliens 26: Ripley’s sliver of a toenail cloned”.
Well my study revolves around my many personal pets. I am a lover of thunder storms and never had a pet be afraid, although Needle Nose will bark sometimes because she thinks initially that somebody is “out there”.
Somebody please remind everybody in CAPITAL LETTERS 15 minutes before that show is broadcast so we…….well I….don’t forget to watch.
I thought this was a very cute blog post.

10:00 P.M. EDT.
Set an alarm!
Are we gonna “Live Blog” Political Animals??
I guess with all of this on the tube tonight and trying to catch as much as possible, I’ll be up untiil 4 or so doing a post for tomorrow.
This may get ugly.
We can go for it in comments, imust.
Like I said, Upps, Idunno. I’m just reporting what I see here.
If we post some more previews, we may not need to watch it at all.
Well Sophie, let’s face it. Lily is an Uppity Woman.
Hi imust!!!
Hi, Uppity Woman and fellow kiiteh lovers…..I just popped in to give an update on my rescue kitteh, Simon.
Friday was a bittersweet day – Simon went in for his next round of kitten shots…..He had doubled in weight and checked out purrrrfect….I even made them re-test him for feline leukemia = NEGATIVE!
…..After the vet visit I took him by my aunt’s house for a visit and she decided she was ready for me to go ahead and leave him at his new home, which was the eventual plan from the beginning……My Mr. Boots misses him terribly, as they had become thick as thieves.
Anyway, at least my Mama Kitty has her house back again….She was not happy about Simon being here and stayed outside for a month.
Thanks for caring and I hope that blue-eyed Tiger Lilly is getting along famously!
Hey there Anita!!
You’re not kidding!! She is one of the most brazen kitties I have ever seen.
Best of luck to little Simon in his new home.
Every time I see a cute kitty picture, which is every day, I get pangs. We recently lost one of our precious cats and we are debating getting his brother a brother again. Watching him closely to see how he does on his own. But it will take us a while to make that decision. Still grieving the loss of our beloved Nicky.
This new Obama ad is so bad it looks like the Romney campaign produced it:
So sorry for the loss of your Nicky Anita.
Thanks so much, Imust. The little guy had cancer and there was nothing we could do. He was sort of an odd egg in that he followed the beat of his own drummer. He thought he was a dog and used to lay down with his legs splayed forward, like Superman. I can’t explain how, but he was a very loyal boy. Almost like a guard kitty. Our big beautiful moose of a kitty will truly be missed.
The other night, someone had posted a picture of Socks and, at least in that photo anyway, they looked exactly alike.
Wow Oswald it’s a two-fer. It’s the perfect ad that says neither one of these a$$wipes is the right guy. Neither tells the truth, cares about anyone or anything but himself, has a clue what leadership is, and has a clue about how to appeal to or relate with Americans.
ABO in 2012
…anyone with one functioning neuron in the brain…
I’m more an ABOoR kind of gal. You might say I abhor them both.
Nah. It’s looking like a big, black hole again, with Botz jumping in freely.
http://tinyurl.com/7b9d28f
Romney is the lesser of two evils. Obama is the evil of two lessers.
Crier you find the best gifs!
imust, can you tell they are not jumping UP for joy?
I hate to disagree with you Sophie, but I don’t get that impression from Mitt. Yes, it’s JMO, but I had a gut feeling about Obama after watching him interact with people at an early, early town hall meeting that was on CSPAN. I’ve watched a lot of Mitt’s appearances and I don’t get the same vibe. He seems stiff and dorky, but not narcissistic. And I think he’s shown leadership skills, even if you only look at the Olympics as an example. Like I said, JMO.
LOL crier! Do you know how they make those?
“stiff and dorky” vs. “narcissistic.”
Sometimes those quirky observations from afar, are way more revealing than those poised, scripted displays.
Easy for you to say Oswald. You don’t have a vagina..
I’m with Sophie. Voting against the best interests of women is not a good idea. I don’t like either of these two men. They are both sneaky. So unless somebody convinces me otherwise, either I will vote for Stein or leave the line blank.
Gifs. Lots of individual images stuck to together in a loop. A mini “film.” Kind of like when we would make little cartoon books in school with almost the same images on different pages in a tiny notebook, then flip through it quickly, making it appear as though it was animated.
Nowadays, gifs come from a lot of sequential images, sometimes a clip from a movie, that gets repeated in a loop.
Hey Troy, glad to see Simon is all snug and running his new home. A very handsome fellow. Not surprised about the FEL_V negative test at all. Unless he had been bitten, his contact with that other guy was not exteneded enough.
Crier, that’s how all animations are made. Always was, except the invention of computer tools made it faster and easier.
C’mon imust, show us your gif-creative talents. There are free gif making sites out there. Report back for the premiere here.
AMEN!!!
Thanks crier, maybe I will!
Well. I understand Uppity, but I’m with Oswald, ABO. He must go. And voting Stein won’t do it.
Oswald, there really isn’t a lesser of two evils. There are two evils (or one evil with two different names). Given those, each person determines how much of what they are willing to put up with to achieve their highest objective.
I have complete understanding for people making the choices they feel they need to make in this election, but I can’t find it anywhere in my heart to follow suit. I did in 2008 and I had no qualms with that choice, but it just isn’t in me this time around. I truly believe that the same F-wads that forced the Big Zero down our throats the first time are backing both candidates this time. I don’t like the F-wads and I won’t vote for either of their faces.
I just looked up “Green Party Platform” and look what came up as one of the first….I kid you not.

Wow, imust: Hire Heels!
Hire Heels is better Sophie!
imust: Here’s Jill Stein’s YouTube channel:
http://www.youtube.com/user/JillStein2012?feature=watch
Scroll down to find the 6 parts of her nomination acceptance speech. I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet but I heard it was really good.
Here’s Snookie wearing them.
Actually I did watch most of it live on CSPAN Sophie. I agree with a lot of what she says, don’t get me wrong. But there’s no way on Snookie’s green shoes she’ll ever get elected. Or anyone else from a 3rd party for that matter.
I think upps has been through this before but I’ll throw this out again:
WE ARE NOT GOING TO ALL AGREE ON WHAT’S THE BETTER THING TO DO, OTHER THAN NOT VOTING FOR B.O. THAT SAID, I SERIOUSLY DOUBT ANYONE IS GOING TO CHANGE ANYONE ELSE’S OPINIONS ON THIS.
Going back to True Blood now.
Imust, I know…but it’s my None Of The Above vote.
Still, I contend that if EVERY ONE (from both sides of the aisle) who was disenchanted with the meager choices this exceptional country was given this time around, voted for a None Of The Above candidate, the two take-us-for-granted-and-jerk-us-around parties would get the message.
So Fred. I’m not allowed to express my opinion then? I don’t get it. I’m not being disrespectful. Uppity expressed her opinion. What’s your beef?
Sophie. You know that’s not gonna happen. Our system is set up as a 2 party system. I’ll shut up now anyway before I piss more people off.
BTW, to west coasters….the Political Animals show will not be on at 7pm here (as in 10EST). It will not be shown here until 10pm our time.
Fredster, I think we’re cool. imust and I are having a conversation. I don’t think either of us in under the illusion we’ll change minds but sometimes it’s helpful to think out loud. But seriously, all caps AND bold is bad form. (But I’ll still let you pour me Dark and Stormies in the Lounge.)
And yes, imust, I am painfully aware that my fantasy’s not going to happen. For the record, it’s my second choice fantasy anyway. My first choice fantasy is that a certain woman storms the convention, slams the amateur with a Styrofoam column, and takes charge.
Oy Yay! Oy Yay!
All those having business with their television sets are hereby advised that it’s 9:45 PM on the east coast. Grab your popcorn, beverage, and remotes and start making your way to your sofa.
Your show (be it The Newsroom, Political Animals, Breaking Bad, True Blood, Falling Skies, or something else) is going to begin in 15 minutes.
Uppityites, let’s not fight over these clowns. We all get to do what we think is best and there is no reason for us to fight with each other over it. Don’t let these clowns break us up!
NOw, are you all watching Sigourney play our girl?
Abahahahaha. The Russian groper, flushed.
I don’t have cable, so I hope USA will have “Political Animals” online or I’ll buy it at amazon instant video.
Upchuck large enough for FEMA to clean up. ROFL.
Comments on Political Animals, pls??
Tivoing so i have not seen it yet…
Ratings. Ratings. I wonder how many people saw that. I bet it was big.
It doesn’t come on here for another hour and a half….
Well they couldn’t pick on a black president, that would be rayyyyyyyyyycist. So they made him Italian, which is acceptable. Cowards.
Yeah well we New Yorkers are always ahead of you Californians. Heh.
For those who have pets that are araid of thunder or other loud sounds and go nut I have a solution to calming them and taking the fear away for good.
There is no one reason that an animal fears loud bang noises it can be from many reasons up to and including just normal for that pet.
I have had many a rescue that was scared to death of thunder storms to the point of hurting themselves trying to get away from the noise. They go nuts and hide because fireworks and thunder storms go away and they associate hiding with making it go away.
You need to get a CD of thunder storms and play it several times a day very low and increase the volume daily. Your pet will get used to the noise and will not go nuts when you have a storm or there are fireworks.
Trust me it will work. I have had many an ACD in rescue because it got loose and ran on the fourth of July or because of the thunder storms that wreck havoc on the western states this time of year.
One of my dogs was one that most likely ran from thunder. She was terrified from it. Now she couldn’t care less if we have a storm and marble sized hail. She will sit and watch fireworks with no fear.
Hello to all the gang. I get to read the blog from time to time but am busy as all get out with work and canning the bounty from my garden as well as all the choice fruit and veggies I am raking in at the local road side stands. Man I love Summer.
Yeah, well…. well…. well, we’re 3 hours younger! lol
Hi Utah!
Maybe we could have a UW relay to go grab some of Utah’s harvest!
Best line:
Someday, sir, it would be nice to work for the man who beat me.
Hi Lorac !! I must say I have had the best luck in Utah with my gardens. Heck I have enough beets to last all winter and I pickled some and canned the others as is. Picked a ton of them as baby beets and man were they good. Have onions up the wassu, corn just coming in, Swiss chard is all frozen and ready to serve with a vinaigrette dressing and bacon. Peas are in the freezer as are green beans and the tomatoes are all getting canned now because they are going nuts.
I just scored two full trees of plums for free so will be making plum jelly this weekend.
Utah – I’m behind on putting by this year because I’ve been trying out various methods of pickling. As we speak I have some sauerkraut and pickles fermenting in crocks. I really hope they work out. Have you ever tried that?
Mmmm mmmm mmmmm yum!
I won’t be voting for either O or R because I live in California. If this state is “in play” then Obama has already lost.
As for everyone else I think you should vote your conscience. That’s what I did last time and I don’t feel any guilt or shame for the way I voted.
I have made sauerkraut in crocks and man that stuff smells bad lol. It is great when it is done but during the process I hate it and think it is something I will pass on doing again. I just make pickles in jars.
I made corned beef in crocks too but for the price I think it too will be something I just buy. I did it just to see if I could lol. Of course I raised my own beefer and butchered it along with a couple of porkers too. That was many years ago. Now I just do deer and elk and moose if I can get one beef and pork come from the store.
I will be voting for Mitt. It is the only way to assure me that Obama goes. Romneys worst has to be better then Obamas best IMO
Utah, I have a brisket in the freezer and all the spices ready to do the corned beef. I haven’t done it yet because it’s like a two week commitment!
Sophie go ahead and do it. You will find it tastes better then store bought but yes the work is a bit much. That is why I just did up a few one time for the fun of doing it myself.
Okay. I will let you know how my adventures go. Oh–I also have some refrigerator pickles going–zucchini pickles and pickled jalapenos.
The show just started out here. I’m going to try to hang on, but this opening sequence is giving me bad memories. Well, good ones that are covered in bad ones.
Couldn’t they have found a better looking guy? Her husband looks like a mafia guy. lol

Best line:

No kidding!! Is this show hot or what!!!
yes Lorac, but Ciaran Hinds is a fabulous actor.
Except he really didn’t beat her. I would have liked, “Someday, sir, it would be nice to work for the man you marketed yourself to be.”
Yeah, but I kind of like that they let the hypocrisy stand. Makes the same point. I loved her speech to the journalist, too. Hot stuff and really calls the horrid media out on the carpet better than anything I have seen in a long time.
Sophie and Imust: take the bold out or whatever. Imust, of course you and everyone is allowed their opinion. As of now, I tend to go the way SophieCT is going. Obviously Ican’t vote for the Dem nominee. But by the same token I cannot vote (as a protest or otherwise) for someone whose every position is anethema to me and what I like to say I believe in. So that being the case, I seem to have 2 choices. I can vote for a third party candidate or I can leave the top blank.
Been a great night for the tube. I’m watching the replay of Political Animals right now.
Oooh those last two lines of the show felt so good!
(not exact) I’m going to run for president again. And this time, I’m going to win.
uh-oh…Madame Sec’y is smoking in a federal building!
Yes Anita I agree about the portrayal of the media. Interesting that the reporter admitted that she didn’t respect Elaine for staying with her husband, do you think that’s the root of the betrayal of the so-called feminists? I still don’t like the ex-president character (Bill). They made him a bit of a doofus, country bumpkin. JMO
lorac, I keep tellin’ ya! She DID win!
Hillary is smokin’ where ever she is lol
I know she did imust
I took it to mean, this time she’s going to (be allowed her) win.
For some reason, no one ever wants to bring up that he didn’t really win. That he has ALWAYS “won” by cheating. I suppose that job would mainly fall to the republicans, but they hate her, so as much as they want to bring down Obama, they won’t use any means that would benefit Hillary. And of course, the dems won’t talk about it.
I know lorac, I’m just teasin’ ya! You think she’s smoking? I think she’s throwing back a scotch.
Utahs back! Lorac, LOL on the 3 hours younger!
I saw most of it. I thought Sigourney was great. Ciaran was a trifle smarmy, but I do think he’s a great actor (love him in Persuasion), and anyway, could there be two more difficult people to try to portray?
I didn’t particularly care for all the drama with the sons (not the one being gay, that was cool–but the barfing, and drugs and suicide attempt) I thought it was unnecessary soap opera. Like the writers threw it in there to interest non-political people.
So is this a mini series? How long is it going?
imust, that is hilarious about the shoes.
imust – yes that is why she lost the votes of a number of women — because she stayed with him. and if she left, she would have lost the votes of others. No win situation.
Have a great night all!!
socal, I noticed that tonight’s episode said “time limited” and “pilot”. Maybe Ani can tell us what that means.
I thought “pilots” were usually a couple of hours long, and if people liked it, then they started a series…? But I don’t know what “time limited” means – maybe it’s a “mini-series pilot”….? lol (ie, a “pilot” that actually lasts a few epidsodes???)
There was a period in which there were SO many “mini-series” – 80s, maybe? I used to call them “miseries” lol
Wow. The episode is on Hulu already. Because I’m still on m.e. lou time, do I stay up until 2 a.m. PDT to watch it? I’ll start and then finish it in the morning.
The news of Hillary’s reception in Egypt (rotten tomatoes tossed, yells of Monica, etc.) reminds me of 2008 and of the 1990s. Hillary had to deal with worse from our faux press, let alone obots and repugs.
Those Egyptians aren’t even going to take the smile off her face. She might bat an eyelash at the insults but then she’ll rise above and get back to business.
Totally. Sad to think we lost having her at the helm. Things would’ve been so much better.
RE: Egypt and Arab Spring – http://tinyurl.com/7edpqxc
Good morning Uppityites.
I love that mini series.about our girl.
I long ago cancelled TV service to the house since I never turned the machine on and the only time the TV sets were used was when I had company come and stay a few times a year. I pay for cable for computer but cancelled even basic TV since it gathered dust for years.
Will seek it out when I have time on the “youtubes/hulus” since you’re all giving it a thumbs up. It can’t possibly be as cool as the real Hillary would be. The West Wing was great in its day.
Upps, great post! Gosh, I had no idea the list of announced absentees from O’s coronation was so long! And, as you say, the list can only grow. Most excellent.
Egyptian goatfuckers have no clue who they are Effing with. Payback will be a bitch.
She scares them. Otherwise they wouldnt bother.
Oooops!!! HAHAHAHAHA
Best line hands down was the elephant joke at the end – it was a classic – I’m still laughing
You got that right, Twandx.
I liked the line about the floor manager at Chili’s too.
Well my congress critter will be going to the convention with bells on his toes. He is the worthless twit that they pushed with loads of $$$$backing (becuase he was a D) to get rid of Connie Morella who happened to be competent but was an R (and a girl!) in Koolaid land.
Perhaps the children making the arrangements for the convention thought that NC was a subset of DNC. I am sure, if asked, they would say that Mason-Dixon is a moving company.
In defense of stiff and boring Mitt,
Fuck Egypt. They haven’t won a war since Alexander the Great kicked their asses. Their glory days ended three millennia ago.
Yeah will I hope they enjoy their tourism being flushed down the crapper with their version of “Arab spring”. What woman in her right mind would visit a country riddled with savages?
The only safe egyptian men are in the pyramids. Considering this is a major source of their income, good luck with that, goatfuckers. The second big source is the woman you threw tomatoes at, you assholes.
It was only a matter of time before these facts came out and got published.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2173808/Women-overtake-men-IQ-tests-time-100-years-multitasking.html
Yes and the dickhead who edited the piece for the little woman just couldn’t help putting a “but” in the title because his pee pee got a bit shriveled over the statistics.
If a man’s IQ is higher it’s because he’s smarter. If a woman’s IQ is higher there is obviously some extraneous influence that forced this odd situation.
Anybody who teaches school could have told you this. You probably won’t see this story in the American press, though. And check out the comments about how this is just another effort to emasculate men. Apparently IQ is now also attached to penises as well. Although let’s face it, we have known plenty of men whose brains were in their dicks.
But don’t let this piece give you too much hope, ladies. Tomorrow you will still be working for that mediocre guy, just like Hillary is.
Hmmmmm….I didn’t l( @ )( @ )k….honest!!!!!! But for a measly $5k, there couldn’t be that much to see. Octomom peels for that? Ridiculous. And what a crowd she drew. This should be the last we hear of Nadya. Leave it to Huffpo (our new National Enquirer) to tell it.

I wish you had a “like” button in comments Uppity. Love you and your bloggers. Thank you for consistently being so damn right.
As for Egypt, my husband didn’t believe how bad things were for women until he went back to visit his sisters a couple of months ago. He thought that the reports of women being assaulted in the streets were the product of the MSM. HIs sister clued him into how bad things are for women and the roving gangs of teenage thugs abuse women with impunity. According to the writer of The State of Egypt, the past regime was perfectly content to have women being abused in the streets because the men (or whatever passes for men there) were not on the streets chanting anti-Mubarak slogans.
As for the Democratic convention, I wonder if Narcissus will just Skype it in since he has already won since he sucessfully gave us hope and change and all of that other nebulous stuff.
MURPHY!!!! How ARE you??????????????????
AnnE, please thank your husband for denouncing these horrid men. And I do wish he could get his sisters out of there.
Good, good – thank you for asking Uppity. I’m always around — just lurking.
Well I think about you and I’m glad you say something now and then so I know you’re there.
Sorry about the source, WND, and the author, Corsi, but since it’s an interview with Michele Thomas, founder of “The 300″ the movement Thomas founded in her kitchen, I figured some might be interested.
The rules of the Democratic National Convention provided that if 300 delegates for a particular candidate signed a petition – with not more than 50 from one state – the candidate’s delegates would have to be counted on the first ballot. Hence the name: The 300.

wait! wait! wait…
Is that Murphy, as in *the* Murphy? As in Darragh Murphy??
WOW!!
Hi Murphy, good to ‘see’ you!
lol
Yup twas The Murphy, indeed!!!! I got her fingerprints on file!
WND and Corsi is indeed two strikes.
Not for anything, but that woman sounds like she thinks she’s the only person on earth who got harassed and threatened by the little obama piggies, under the assumption here that she was so damned important. Hell they threatened everybody.
Yeah, UW, my husband has a hard time with the burka mentality. Not rational and all, being an engineer. Just doesn’t factor.
Not that he doesn’t have his own nutty ideas about women–like he will vote for a woman before he votes for a man because he thinks women go into politics to change things, not because they are ego driven. He also doesn’t believe that women lie. Like we are morally superior and all.
Uppity,
She was a major target because of what the threat of The 300 could mean for Obama Inc and an actual roll call vote. She isn’t at all the way you’re portraying her, really.
I’d peel down for $5000
@Oswald I’ll give you $5000 not to.
dwp, honestly, I wasn’t trying to portray her any way except how she sounded in the interview. That vote was never going to happen and they made sure of it at a much higher level. Of course, Corsi wrote the piece so who knows what context he played with. He likes sensational.
LOL AnnE on his reasoning on women. It’s kind of endearing, actually.
dwp, here’s your “thud” gif for murphy.
Bahahahaha.
Sorry myiq, but that video had to go. That’s the kind of video that gets you reported and converted into a R blog without you asking first. Then people have to face a screen to come here that says I am over 18 and want to continue.
Rule of thumb. If you wouldn’t put it at the hole, you shouldn’t put it here.
Paterno family will hire people for their OWN investigation! Gee….I wonder how that one will come out??

Oh! That reminds me…did OJ ever find the “real” killers?
Every time he looks in the mirror imust.
FCS, the Paternos need to stop making fools of themselves trying to polish a turd.
Seriously, they are really starting to annoy people, looking for excuses for that pervert enabler. They would be better off if they just sunk into their hole and shut the fuck up. All they are doing is reminding America of what a piece of shit Joe Paterno really was.
What happened? Did everyone’s computers all go down at once?
imust: It’s so unusual to see the same post for 2 days here, w/out a new one. Not even any tweets from upps.
Heh! For real!!!
empty…..hello????
hmmm…..
oooohhhh noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zombie Apocalypse?
Who took the last slice???!!!!!!
Upps, so agree about the Paterno family. They’re pushy & obnoxious. No one is going to believe their bullshit investigation. Idiots.
That pie pan of imusts reminds me that I need to make a sugar free cheesecake for my Mom. She’s coming on Sat. We’ve all been working like dogs spring cleaning the place.
Spring cleaning in the middle of July? Come over here…I need draperies taken down, cleaned and rehung
I got a photo once of an empty dinner plate but it was totally clean. My mom sent it to me. When I later talked to my mom, she said she gave the dogs some food (can’t remember what it was), and she wanted to show me how they licked the plate clean ROFL I saved the photo. My mom is so cute.
Oh, wow, Murphy was here. I hope she’ll go back to writing. She sure wrote some great articles.
Yes, would love to see some Murphy posts.
fredster you busted me! as a matter of fact I usually do spring cleaning in the spring, and started it back in April, but have been so busy this year due to lakers graduation and all the hoopla, it just got dragged out.
Saw this story about a woman who left State Penn cuz the sainted joepa got her pushed out:

btw, I had internets trouble over the weekend myself, for over 24 hours, on the one weekend when we were actually home the whole time. I wanted to hang here, tried all computers, & they were all the same. Thank God its cleared up, whatever it was.
Oh Gawd imust, still rolling over that Snooker picture you posted upthread.
Here is a photo for SophieCT and a few others:
grrr I can’t do it – it wants me to list its url! It’s a photo I saved on my computer, it doesn’t have a url!!! Sheesh!
Lorac- Can you put the pic in the media library first?
Relaxing day today- heading back to PA tomorrow- have to be back to attend the National Pastoral Musicians conference in Pittsburgh next week.
UW-
Check your email (and drafts)
Never mind – YouTube scrubbed the video…… Amazing f*cking “democracy” we live in……
Will everybody please stop hunting me down? I am having a life like the rest of you. I thought we already had this discussion. If I’m not around it’s not the end of the world, I’m just living. Would you all kindly get used to it? DO I ask where you all are every damned day? Carry on!
That said, Anthony put something in drafts so I will put it up. Thanks AntKnee.
New post up. Vid works fine Ant.
Lorac you have to put the pic in the media library.
