What is a thunder suit-I don’t think I’ve seen one-
When I first got Husky girl as a pup, she was afraid of thunder-I would put her right next to me on my chair of the couch if a storm came, and gradually she got better-old as she is, she still wants to be next to me when the thunder starts, though...
Those creative dem voters. We need voter ID laws. A+++
Hope your storms have passed. A++
Level playing field. He wants the pubbies 6ft lower. A+++
posted class and went to work. just got home and started grading homework
Was listening to mark steyn fill in for Rush today and he was saying george stupidopolis got a reporter to tie in the name of the shooter with someone who had joined the TEA Party and they reported it that the TEA Party was responsible. Already that is debunked, the shooter is john holmes, age 24. the TEA Party John Holmes is in his 50s.
A+++
Thank you! I would not be surprised to see a lawsuit or two or ten over crap like that-people are likely sick of being publicly mis-identified by the driveby media, and I’m sure lawyers need work as much as everyone else.
TY
Do the Pre'sent's words strike anybody else as exactly the wrong note?
gotta love Twitter. the reporter, brian ross, who reported falsely that the shooter was a TEA Party member has the same name as felons. they are reporting that abc’s brian ross was arrested for making meth and various other crimes. LOL
as a narcissist, he sees EVERYTHING through the prism of himself.
Would it fit a 60 lb. dog? If so, I would have been begging you for it. Did he need one and did it help?
Burge has been on fire today.
Don’t go googling John Holmes videos!
Great job T!
Thank you-the media is already running around looking for motives, associations, psychological trigger, etc-watching the forest instead of the trees. Why not say he is a madman, period? Even if it turns out that he embraced some radical philosophy, suffered from schizophrenia or some other mental illness, craved attention or whatever-he is still a madman and a mass murderer.
They also can't see how one law abiding carrying citizen could have stopped this madman very quickly.
Those are really neat-do they work?
When I have a few extra bucks, I’d like to maybe get my ‘fraidy cat Midget girl one of the kitty ones-she is spooked by pretty much any loud noise, and thunder sends her behind the door in the study, screaming in terror until I go pick her up and wrap a towel around her-but I didn’t see one sold that is small enough for her.
