    1. Uh, oh....a *Concern Troll*, the adolescent tosser form of a MOBY.

      Okay, Monsieur Jacquar, let's discuss Akin ... you go first, tell me what you think and why.

  3. Every single high-profile republican has condemned his comment and told him to drop out of the race. What's left to discuss? His haircut?

    You're just butt-hurt that the media is starting to turn on Barry.

  4. Hey Jackquar, OK. we don't discuss each and every thing that comes along. We are people with real lives, not people who sit in front of the computer every minute of the day.

    Main stream Republicans have condemned Adkin. Romney has condemned Adkin. That is good enough for us.

    Meanwhile, you have a choise: clean the wax out of your ears or go fuck yourself. Your choice.

  5. In other words, Jacquar, Adkin is one candidate for the Senate. There are 100 Senate seats, of which roughly a third are up for elections this year.

    Compare that with the President. We have one President. He sets the policy of the country. He is the face of the country. The current President has been an unmitigated disaster.

    You are welcome at the Table. But please bring some interesting points of discussion. Florie may be an excellent gardener, but that doesn't mean she has any use for that load of bull shit you brought in.

    The above, of course, is predicated on the idea that Jacquar is interested in discussion and is not some hit-and-run Obamabot seeing what comes up in a search engine, never to be heard from again.

  6. TY, Matt. I love what you said about gardening and BS! :-D

  7. If Jacuar comes back, I'm making popcorn! :))

    I love the photo. I can almost see Barry's ears peaking around the sides of the TOTUS!

  8. I think we're supposed to have a running checklist to be "fair."

    Condemn Akin ... Check
    Bitch about the weather ... Check
    Bitch about the tax rate ... Check
    Condemn Akin ... Check
    Discuss gardening ... Check
    Condemn Akin ... Check
    Condemn Akin ... Check
    "Criticize" the president, but be careful not to be too critical or that's racist

    Akin is an idiot. He could have an IQ of 297 (highly doubtful) and he'd still be an idiot. He needs to pull a Marvin K. Mooney. He's embarrassing. He embarrasses me and I'm not a Republican. In fact, I think someone needs to smack some sense into him. I would volunteer, but it makes me feel bad when I see grown men cry.

    What else do you want? The reinstitution of self-flagellation as a form of penance? And WHAT are we supposed to feel bad for? I never voted for him, never sent him a donation. I never once advocated for him. I didn't even know who he was until his idiot remark got me to notice him all the way in Africa.

    Akin's fool mouth will relegate him to never-was status. Which is fine by me. If you want to waste your time beating your chest over someone so insignificant and self-defeating instead of moving on to a meaningful debate, be my guest. It's one less discussion I have to have.

    I'm sure you dropped in, thinking your pointed remark was clever. "I'll point out their hypocrisy," thought you. "Watch them squirm!" and rubbed your hands in gleeful anticipation of proving how very superior you are, how much of a higher order thinking. Pull those Neandertal conservatives up into the light and maybe they'll understand they've only been watching shadows (I hate Plato, by the way. He was a pompous, misogynistic ass).

    You're not right. Instigation does not equal mental capacity, nor does sticking your fingers in your ears and chanting, "AKINAKINAKINAKIN!!!" while others are speaking. He's not the only politician in the US with missing brain material. Did you discuss the ridiculous assertion by Rep. Hank Johnson that Guam might "tip over"? Did you discuss the time Cynthia McKinney assaulted a Capitol Hill police officer? How about Hilary Rosen's put down of stay-at-home moms? Or was that no big deal to you, because they really don't do much work, do they? I mean, they stay at home, right?

    Geez man, get off the Superiority Complex train at Everyone is Allowed to Form Their Own Thoughts and Opinions Station, your smug cloud is weighing down the engine.

    1. Loved your comment, afw :-)

      Can you still get emails from your old addy in your new location?

    2. Superb takedown! ZINGGG. I especially enjoyed:

      "Geez man, get off the Superiority Complex train at Everyone is Allowed to Form Their Own Thoughts and Opinions Station, your smug cloud is weighing down the engine."

      Your wordplay is exquisite. My purple Maxine hat with the big orange flowers is off to you, ma'am!

    3. GOTS, I would say that you are good but I would be repeating myself.

      But who cares? You are good!

  9. "My fellow Americans, as blank as the look is on my face today, it nowhere-near reflects the utter void of ideas or capabilities that I have to right America's problems. On a happier note, I'm not Todd Akin. And with the helo warmed up on the pad, I can play nine before lunch. God Bless America- It Works for the One Percent!"

  12. Girl on the Scene, I believe Earl's comment was meant as a quote from Obama...a caption for florrie's picture of TOTUS/POTUS. ;)

    1. Yes and Earl wins hands down!

  13. In THAT case! I apologize profusely for taking out my frustrations on Earl for all the comments of that sort I have been getting from people I know who do not agree with me politically!

    PROFUSELY! Please erase the "Earl" from those and put in "person who talked to me yesterday and commented on how we were so much luckier than so many people". Because that is really who it was directed at.

    I *HATE* election season. HATE it. It makes me into the kind of person I try really hard not to be (which is fairly thin skinned and fed up with everyone).

    Comment erasure going on now... And Earl, I owe you a bottle of something good for my mistake.

  14. I need my boxing equipment to get here, like, yesterday.

    Seriously.

    1. Were you being mean to Earl, afw? As punishment, you have to eat a big ol' bowl of beans.

      Delete
    2. I was horrendous. Just awful.

      I'll even eat a bowl of my most hated beans - refrained - in penance.

      My binding crankeypants were on full display. The only thing more awful than my behavior would be being forced to sit through Ishtar in its entirety.

  15. Thx., florrie.

    /coughs modestly

    And, for the record, "TOTUS" was my creation! So it's a two-fer Earl today! I should have written comedy rather than my day job of cleaning the Aegean stables...

    /more irritating, self-important, albeit-still-modest coughing :)

  16. How important is Charlie Crist's endorsement of Obama? Sour grapes? A crank in the wilderness? A trend...?

  17. I hadn't heard about that endorsement.

    But I think there might be another reason for it... Too much time in the tanning booth. It messes a person up. Fact.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Crist is a joke! I'm glad he's showing his true colors and the dems deserve him.

    Jourdan knows Crist and doesn't have one good thing to say about him.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Plus, like afw said, his brain is fried from over-tanning.

  20. GotS:

    LMAO!

    /as a poor, unlettered sharecropper's child, who is I to argue with "fact"? =)

    1. Oh - this totally reminds me! one of the argument enders here in Africa is to preface something with "It is well known".

      A person can say ANYTHING, as long as it is prefaced with, "It is well known" The most ridiculous stereotypes persist because they are well known here.

      Crist is the same color as an Oompa Loompa, other than that, the color he has chosen does not exist outside Miami and the Jersey Shore.

  21. BTW...

    Just got back from seeing "2016:Obama's America" and it was very good. Full theater, no one bused in and everyone applauded at the end.

    2. It's worth the $$, afw, it's very well done. I dont' see how anyone can dispute his facts, most of them are from Obama's own words as he's reading his biography.

      One interesting note, the ticket cashier (a 20-something woman) looked peeved when Tom said the name of the movie and he added "our first movie in 10 years". She just looked pissed so I said "smile, it was a joke".

      lol, she got even, I discovered later she charged us the senior rate.
