Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. Practice makes perfect.....post on....

[Conspiracy Guy]

Cheetos!!!

[xsmommy]

i have no patience for the purists, the idealists, who in their inimitable fashion, continually WHINE about the fact that Arnold is not a conservative. I cannot fathom those that are so smug in their idealism, that they are oblivious to the fact that they never ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING...

[xsmommy]

that would be very....orange....

[Conspiracy Guy]

DITTO!!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Potted Meat!!!!

[xsmommy]

Hugh Hewitt hews close to the bone generously gerrymandering George Wills wild, woolly wistful musings on the recall in his own inimitable style (Halfway down, excerpted here...)

....Still, no matter how unlikely John's(Fund's) concerns are, at least he didn't fall into harumpphhery like George Will. Will seems to think that the AS candidacy is a threat to Reagan's legacy, and obviously upset at the prospect, unleashes this one: "Truly conservative Californians --you few know who you are-- will vote against the recall to protest its plebiscitary cynicism." Oh yeah, that's right. Forget the illegally tripled car tax, the hot-check written to paper over the deficit, the crumbling schools, the clogged highways and of course, the transgenedered-at-work protection act and the inane family leave for sick puppies act. Written like a man with a nice bank account and secure work, living in an earthquake free zone where fires never break out and spread uncontrollably, who can afford an extra $600 per car and doesn't mind that the local high school is turning out graduates who need to be retrained before they are employable. True conservatives, in other words, sit on their butts and watch institutions and economies collapse so they can feel good about themselves until it is time to relocate to Florida like Tiger Woods.

Morning!

Fine the democrats $1000 a day
To show them they can't always have their way.
Fine them till their bank accounts bleed
And the voters see their inimitable greed.

[Conspiracy Guy]

EXTREME LEFT is the Worst but EXTREME RIGHT suffers the same problem. The real people are between the two and the middle gets things DONE.

[RikaStrom]

Oh good luck, have fun and TAKE PICTURES!

[RikaStrom]

I agree, I am glad that at least one dim has some sense.

[hobbes1]

LIke Liberaltarians they are missing the point. This is all that needs to be said...

"That is Schwarzenegger's big contribution. His candidacy will change minds about voting Republican. "

[xsmommy]

Good for Wills, spearing his first dik-dik. what a buncha killjoys those that rag on him for it.

[Conspiracy Guy]

It is an American delicacy. I call it Pate` in a can. Laura Earl hates it.

[Conspiracy Guy]

[xsmommy]

[RikaStrom]
