Well, I voted yesterday, mostly to no avail. My RINO congressman Tim Murphy won against a real conservative contender. Murphy runs these ads every 2 years bragging about how conservative he is, and then votes for labor union stuff like card check and bailing out union pensions.
In the 5 way race for the US Senate nod, my guy din’t win, but more importantly the “anointed” candidate didn’t either. The state party actually endorsed a guy who voted for Obama in the 2008 dem primary before supposedly “seeing the light.”
Sorry. That’s poor judgment and a lifetime DQ for getting my vote.
And in the battle royale of the newly merged Democrats, Crist upset Altmire.
I always link to Free Dictionary that has a pronunciation button for every word. Very useful.
reminds me of that musical “Bye, Bye Barracki...” A+++
endorsed Obama? wow..... unreal.
Was registered as a Democrat and voted for Obama in spring 2008. Now, in 2012 wants to be the GOP nominee to take on Casey for the US Senate. And the state party leaders say “yeah, that’s our guy.”

It took 9 posts for that to come up??
(For some reason now, I’ve got a taste for a Michelob...)
Strange one .... it brings to mind a puzzle — “What’s the longest English word you can form by a repeat application of only three letters?”
The press coverage of Fast and Furious has been little more than a susurrus page shuffle, appalling in comparison to the excessive volume of the pain created in the lifes of those impacted.
Seeded. I am still thinking.
today’s word excluded of course, as that is no longer a challenge.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh
Very good! It’s a tough one, non-plurals are even harder...
Susurrus,
That’s a dinosaur of which little was spoken, right?
You want that Michelob tonight, tonight, tonight?
Have you read the new book out on Fast and Furios? A+++
