I was 14 when Willie came out....a bit old for kid's movies
I was Rin Tin Tin!
and Flicka...my friend that is
and all those Disney/Fred McMurray/Kurt Russell flicks
Jonah, I love ya man, but please stop using this hoary piece of corporate-speak.
And as far as the "Eagleton option," that's the one being bandied about as Obama's solution to his Biden problem. That's why Rudy Giuliani, in the best line of the entire convention, warned Biden to "get it in writing!"
A few months from black balloons. I still feel young though but indoor soccer is not as easy as it used to be.
It feels like my lungs are fighting to exit out my nose.
Probably too much information......
I say let the media keep trashing Palin. The more they do it, they worse it’s going to impact them for having done so.
The lady is essentially bulletproof at this point.
***Well, I agree before I disagree on that item... ;-) Basically, now there are millions of Americans who IDENTIFY with Supernova Sarah, so all this media trashing is going to backfire into a nice payday for the republicans. But, now that we identify with her, we don’t want to see her get beat up on, we want to stand beside her and say “bug off” to the media. Now that the media has stepped over the line, she doesn’t really have to answer a single question, even ones of substance, if she doesn’t want to. I know she wouldn’t do that because she’s a natural at this swordsmanship. This was her “I paid for this microphone” moment. Recall that every debate moderator after that episode in Reagan’s career was more than polite, even when he started wandering off into the weeds. Putting the media in their place, like how Reagan put the debate moderator in his place, will pay dividends for the rest of her (presidential) career. So, “letting” the media keep trashing Palin won’t be acceptable to Americans who identify with her. Hopefully she gets to write the rules of engagement with the press corps, which is a first for someone at this level.

Here’s how I’ve been bumping Palin/Obama threads.
Sung to the tune of “Oh! Susanna, don’t you cry for me.”
“Oh, no Bama, please don’t lie to me... for I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.”
I come from Minnesota with my laptop on my knee;
I’m goin’ to Free Republic my true love for to see.
It rained all night the day I left,
the weather it was dry;
The sun so hot I froze to death,
Obama don’t you lie.
Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I come from Minnesota,
with my laptop on my knee.
I had a dream the other night,
When everything was still;
I thought I saw Obama dear,
A-coming for The Hill.
The smearing lie was in Duluth,
The tear was in his eye,
Said I, I’m coming for the truth
Obama don’t you lie.
Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I’m off to Free Republic,
with my laptop on my knee.
I fight in my pajamas,
It’s plain for all to see.
I aim to be the next Buckhead;
The media all hate me.
I fell in love with Sarah
When my sister bit a moose.
The Guvnor’s family ate it up
And then they set it loose.
Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I’m off to Free Republic,
with my laptop on my knee.
She loves her sons, she likes her guns,
and Trigonometry.
The media will jump the shark
When Juan makes history.
Well, JimRob knows she’ll pave the trolls
So controversially,
And Berg will knock Obama down
With friends of Hillary.
Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.
I soon will be in Hawaii,
And then I’ll look all ‘round,
And when I find his birth record,
I’ll fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find it,
This Freeper’ll surely die,
And when I’m dead and buried,
Obama don’t you lie.
Oh! No Bama, don’t you cry for me;
I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee

“When I was watching Greta tonight with Newt, they were laughing at a bunch of folks who were booing at Dick Gregory from MSNBC. I love it!”
That was Rove’s doing. He encouraged them to do it. It was very funny to everyone else, but I wonder how NBC took it. Rove looked like the cat who swallowed the canary.
Everyone else thought it was funny too.
“altho I don’t know what a Wonka bar is.”
And here I was just thinking how deeply this had embedded our culture so most everyone would get this. ;)
Time to go off and find out what an Oompa Loompa is, too. :) Go watch the old “Charlie & the Chocolate Factory.” Not the new-fangled one with Johnny Depp. Go for the original.
"norms and standards . . .principle and standard"
Standards, principles!! He's talking about the employees of our MSM? Where? Who?
No, no, no. It's much simpler.
It's mau-mauing. "To attack or denounce vociferously, especially so as to intimidate." A 1960s method to disable and destroy opposition.
Only now it's a practice employed by the MSM. Flood the media with vociferant "reporting" of any and all things no matter how minimally connected to truth -- Hey! Who in their "profession" is gonna say stop it?
Well, I think they tried to mau-mau the wrong person. Sarah is a tough cookie.
this was 40 years before Dave Chappelle
Karl Rove on Fox last night suggested that Senator Joe Biden might “resign due to health reasons” clearing the way for Hillary as Obama’s VP.
I swear. I don’t know why I even posted that. I got David Gregory and Karl Rove wrong. At least you guys knew what I was talking about!!! Stoopid, stoopid, stoopid me. My mind is mush tonight. Why am I still awake? Oy.
I heard it that way too.
When my wife revived me, she said that I hadn’t misheard Rush.
5 months ago I was a “never McCain” guy and I turned that around because anyone can see what Barry will do to this country. Now I’m kind of excited to get out there and support the “ancient mariner”.
“Standards, principles!! He’s talking about the employees of our MSM?”
But they do have standards! Palin brought this on herself by wanting to have it both ways. She trots out her family to garner sympathy, but she only wants for us to notice the good parts. Well, you’ve gotta take the good with the bad.
Besides, other politicians don’t exploit their families for political gain, do they? This is unprecedented, Palin throwing her children in our faces! (sarcasm)
Rebutting the Democrats’ Fearful and Intolerant Attacks on Sarah Palin
With the pregnant daughter story it was bizarre. For liberals, actually carrying a pregnancy to term is such a rare experience they treat it like a UFO encounter or Bigfoot sighting when someone decides to have a child.
Looking at the five children and pregnant daughter, liberal journalists became unhinged because most of them have had abortions. And it would be natural for them to abort a child conceived outside of marriage. That explains some of the liberal hysteria over the Palin candidacy. They are outraged by the living example of a pro-life family.
A fit, healthy, happy working mother with five children flies in the face of all of the propaganda liberal feminists have pushed - that having children is a terrible burden, that they would never want a girl "punished with a child" (to quote Obama).
At one point in Palin's speech, when she was making fun of the elite media, the crowd began chanting "NBC! NBC! NBC!"
Thanks for the comments Kevmo. I agree with them. I like your song too. It was great.
From ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”
Her lips were red, her looks were free,
Her locks were yellow as gold:
Her skin was white as leprosy,
The Nightmare Life-in-Death was she,
Who thicks man’s blood with cold.
Wonder if that’s how UhUhbumUhUhUh sees her?.....:)
