Packer C.J. Wilson sacks Texans quarterback Matt Schaub.
Normally, yes.
Buongiorno free wifi at the hotel so I decided to pop in and say hi. We are resting after walking our behinds off here the past two days. Taking a siesta after lunch. Lots of stuff closed on Mondays which is annoying. Medici chapel and Dante’s house both closed today we will try to get there tomorrow before we leave for Rome.
We are taking the train toRome and found out fortuitously from a nice fruity couple yesterday that a train strike was possible/imminent. Asked this AM at the desk and the concierge said it was “just a little strike, now it’s done” so I suppose I will check in the AM to make sure they haven’t decided on another little one in time for our departure. Who knows how these things work!
Saw burial spots of Donatello, Galileo (originally wasnt allowed in a church but he got there in 1700s) and Michelangelo as well as Machiavelli.
Hi, all:
*Ahem*
The extremely exigent briefings on US soil in Banghazi
Were ignored and its cover-up appears weightless and gauzy
With Vegas dollars so near, they did alluringly beckon
That Obama and his entourage were off in a second
Treating it all like a schtick from a Bear, name of Fozzy!
Jack.
The Jets looked like a football team yesterday as well.
The Pope was finishing his sermon. He ended it with the Latin phrase, “Tutti Homini” - Blessed be Mankind.
A women’s rights group approached the Pope the next day. They noticed that the Pope blessed all Mankind, but not Womankind.
The next day, after His sermon, the Pope concluded by saying, “Tutti Homini, et Tutti Femini” - Blessed be Mankind and Womankind.
The next day, a gay-rights group approached the Pope.
They said that they noticed that he blessed man kind and woman kind, and asked if he could also bless gay people.
The Pope said, “Sure”.
The next day, the Pope concluded his sermon with, “Tutti Homini, et Tutti Femini, et Tutti Fruiti.”
“Chiuso lunedì” is the motto of every restaurant in Italy. Plan to eat in the hotel.
Scared the snot out of me - until I actually read things, I was worried there were only eight days ‘til Christmas...
Candy Crawley seems to be planning to attack at Romney the same way RaDitz went after Ryan, interrupting his answers to keep him off balance. As Crowley put it last week, “Once the table is kind of set by the town-hall questioner, there is then time for me to say, ‘Hey, wait a second, what about X, Y, Z?’”....... the debate agreement was set and signed by both campaigns, but apparently not the moderator: .....As stated in the document: “In managing the two-minute comment periods, the moderator will not rephrase the question or open a new topic … The moderator will not ask follow-up questions or comment on either the questions asked by the audience or the answers of the candidates during the debate or otherwise intervene in the debate except to acknowledge the questioners from the audience or enforce the time limits, and invite candidate comments during the two-minute response period.”
Not true, we ate lunch out at a very nice place. Don’t think it will be a problem. They guidebook mentioned some sites being closed on Mondays but didn’t say anything about restaurants and that kind of info would need to be in there. Also had no problem with anything being closed in Rome.
Perfect!!
A+++
Nice job.
Did you see my tweet?
Q. For V.P. Biden: What do you think about Benghazi?
A. It was my favorite TV show, along with Dr. Kildare.
I was in Rome in early 2001. I remember the many varieties of pizza they sold near the Coliseum. Interestingly, they put it on a scale and sold it by weight.
That’s good. It wasn’t like that when I was last there. Of course that was in 1998 and I was in a smaller town.
Florence is extremely touristy, amazingly so. I’m struck by how many Americans are here. I did not feel that way in Rome four years ago. I’m sure small towns probably close still on Mondays. And the sites aren’t closed every Monday either. Medici chapel closed on first, third and fifth Mondays. Bc closing every Monday would make it too easy!
THAT is hilarious!! I loved Ben Casey!
Yeah ....
Well, with all of Obama’s and Rahm’s extensive and loooong history of intimately “visiting” the many Chicago gay houses, it’s evident that neither can be an exigent, since they never seem to be an gent in the first place.

Exigent is Italian for one who has undergone a male to female sex change. Bigamist is Italian for fog. Bigotry invokes a large oak or, perhaps, a sequoia. Innuendo refers to a certain sexual practice which would be inappropriate to discuss in such a refined atmosphere.
ROFL good one.
From The Big Book of Smarts: Exigent is just a man who has learned humility.This is not to confused with an elderly man who has learned humus which is a dirty old man so to speak, which is not the same as man making hummus, a substance that looks like it was ate once already, bumus humus, not Bummer Hummer because them’s real neat if you can log off a few veneer trees on state land.
