Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
We’ve discussed this before, and you won’t change my mind. I LOVE that show, and I enjoy the re-runs because I was always interrupted by family “stuff” when watching the show the first time around.
I don’t care how often I’ve seen a particular show, or where in the story line I tune in, I enjoy the show. As far as falling asleep — the show is so forumlaic that I can “watch” with my eyes closed and follow the story line. Because they run 4 episodes, back to back, every night here starting at 10 pm, it makes an effective nostrum for sleep.
And the story lines are surprisingly current. Last week there was an episode about the IRS harrassing taxpayers.
;-)
For the first time in a while
The drive-by media is caught
Between being all fictioneers
Or doing what they were taught
Their spinning is wrapped
Around the narrative tight-
And if they can’t unravel it
They won’t look very bright
The wall of “there” is crumbling,
The tree has now been shaken
But what else would you expect
Once the 5th has been taken?
A+++
Now why did you (van) Gogh and do that?
A+++
Good job! Methinks that Barry gave Lois a permit to go after conservative groups. A Lerner’s Permit, so to speak.
adorable!
LMAO, GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
even silent disapproval of homosexuality will be illegal
So don't forget to applaud when you see two homosexuals making out on the street or in a bar.
(Seinfeld voice:)"Not that there's anything wrong with that."
Thank you!
“applaud”
And where I come from, if you add a whistle to that applause, it becomes an insult for indulging in a PDA...
I saw Lois on the news when I got home, huffily saying she didn’t do anything wrong, or break any laws, and taking the 5th and all I could think of was Nixon saying I am not a crook, and my parents howling with laughter at that...
Definitely NO legal expertise here, but is a “blanket” statement that you’re taking the 5th even permissible? I thought that Congressional Committee rules differed from a court of law, besides.
Remember when Bill Clinton would deny stuff by saying “I don’t think you’ll be able to find a single shred of evidence...”
At least he was artful.
Well, Clinton was always an artful dodger, because he’s an attorney and knew the way to play in court. I heard that Issa intends to call Lois Liar back to the stand later-I’d really like to see Gowdy question her at length-he sounds like a real Barracuda...
What a week, is it really on Wednesday? I have another sinus infection, DH is waiting for his test results. The puppy only cares that I am home with her. And it’s hotter than blazes out there. Thank God winter is gone.
And you’d think the Attorney General would know you can’t just give a verbal recusal either, at least that’s what Judge Jeanine said.
Who takes the 5th if they didn’t do anything illegal?
..so much for the smartest AG ever. Holder is an epic fail.
oh, and my car battery died this morning. had to get a new battery today. hard to believe this is only hump day.
