Mercy!

Mr. Smarty Pants, when Mercy! was in college, she didn’t know that such stuff as you speak existed. Well, she read books and all, but like Queen Victoria, if she thought about it at all, she probably assumed that women were incapable of such "gross indecency.” Now, child, if you mean “Sister” as in “nun” - hellsapoppin, the grown-up Mercy! has heard tales from her girlfriends that would warm the cockles of your heart. They certainly did hers.

By the way, if the GOPers with too much time on their hands ever get that Flag Desecration Amendment through, would Rep. Jean Schmidt's dress count as a chargeable offense?

Listen to this Asshat. And then listen to the Congress erupt in anger. You'd think you had walked into Question Time with the Prime Minister of Britain. Good for them! Part of Bull Schmidt's speech: http://streaming.americanprogress.org/Thin...20.240.mov.html

All this talk of Greek letters is bringing back fond memories of sorority days gone by.

In all fairness, wasn’t this quote from Cheney’s Wednesday speech, trash talking back at everyone in general in Congress who dares question the administration? Before John Murtha’s call for immediate withdrawal? Frankly, I like how Rep. Murtha fired back with: "I like guys who've never been there that criticize us who've been there. I like that. I like guys who got five deferments and never been there and send people to war and then don't like to hear suggestions about what needs to be done." Take that Dick “Five deferments ‘cause we had better things to do during the Vietnam War” Cheney.

And all wages are worthy of being reported to the tax authorities. Oops. I guess he didn’t do that.

jasonxctf - Just to clarify my “thread failed” image, I thought you were calling the poster above you stupid, hence my response. If I’m in error, and you were referring to Larry Elder, I sure apologize. If I’m not in error, well then ...... never mind.

Plod, that looks like what we call a Pot Pie. Now you're talking good eatin'. OMG, I just read the recipe. The "anchovy essence" convinced me you know whereof you speak. Looks tasty. Hope you weren't just kidding.

I lied. Twice after that, colleagues offered me uneaten halves and I accepted their proffers. That finally sealed the deal.

I ate at a Subway once.

Lots of good comments here. I’m thinking that the folks who will have to be dragged kicking and screaming on the Republican side until the last trooper gets helicoptered off a high rise hotel in Bagdad, a la the Saigon embassy – are not the ones to worry about right now. They’re becoming increasingly irrelevant. But they’ll have to come around eventually, probably only when they rewrite the history of their involvement in this abortion. This is now slowly being taken from the administration’s hands. How weak do they want to be perceived before they get out in front of the parade on this? Sorry if I mixed my metaphors. Right now, it needs to start with every timid Democrat in Congress getting behind Rep. Murtha’s broad shoulders – he provides pro-military cover in spades. While this embarrassment of an administration has been talking only to itself in “Town Hall Meetings,” the rest of the country has been looking for someone like Murtha to step forward and be a real leader.

“Latifa M”?? If that had been my girl Queen Latifa, is there a shed of doubt who would have left with that cell phone? Miss Thing would have gone straight from the ladies room to the operating room.

Honey, you can join our team any time. What sport do you play? And what's your dress size? I've got those membership cards around here somewhere. I'll make one up for you with your photo, just like ours:

Maybe I’m way off, but I think Congressman Murtha might just have opened the floodgates. Someone of stature and courage finally had the guts to say: get our troops out of Iraq now. I watched an interview with Murtha on The News Hour. He was really a breath of fresh air. Not real telegenic, maybe a little hard of hearing or else impatient because he frequently interrupted his questioner, impeccable and decorated service in the Marines for 37 years including two wars, respected by both parties for his expertise (until now, anyway). He apparently caught everybody by surprise. He made some pretty basic points on TV – Bush war planning and implementation was inadequate; there was no terrorist activity in Iraq before we toppled Saddam; now WE have become the enemy and a catalyst for the violence; 80% of Iraqis want us out of there; the Iraqis will have no real motivation to take over their defense as long as we remain willing to do the fighting for them. New York Times article Transcript of Rep. Murtha's interview on The News Hour yesterday Text of his speech:

When I watched Bush field questions on the Plame affair a year or so ago, and heard him say essentially that there was going to be an investigation, and we had to let it run its course, but that he wouldn’t have anyone working in the White House who broke the law about this – I can remember thinking - If he were a man of any spine and honesty, all he would have ever had to do was call in his chief of staff, and tell him he wanted the names of anyone in his administration who was involved on his desk by the end of the day. Period. Then they could have decided who was going to have to fall on their swords, kick them to the curb, and be done with it. But no. Don’t they ever learn? How stupid do they think we are? I hate that I have no respect for my President. And don't even get me started on his let's ammend the Constitution so my marriage to Laura will be safe from all those awful queers. (which even HE doesn't believe)

Lordy, what a relief! To click on a link without something REALLY weird happening around here. I am embarrassed to say that I fooled around ripping his chest hair more than one time because the first voice sounded like our beloved George W. to me and it seemed extra strange. I never watched Baywatch. Go figure. No Little Britain postings DePloderer?

Dateline: CRYSTAL, NEVADA Well, boys, it got up into the 60’s here today, but it can get a little nippy at night in the desert this time of year, so pack a sweater. I’ve already convinced Heidi to broaden her business proposal in a manner which will definitely increase its chance of success. B) If you’d like, I’ll put in a good word for you – but only if you can produce appropriate references. See ya.

Who knew the Florida legislature had time from all their meddling in the Terry Schiavo case to get exercised over the 1-800-BULLDOG adverts? It doesn't look like the "offenders" are going to pursue their case any further. Honestly, I guess I think industry associations have the perfect right to proscribe certain conduct by their members. But, come on........ Some background: http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1089315015227

You think you can sneak the words “light and fruity” and my boy Rex’s name into the same sentence and skate free? Buster, you’d best be watching your back. Some big, bad butch is gonna sneak up and go *BAM* upside your head. Just for the record, I’m a Coca-Cola snob. I just love that stuff. But anymore I usually just drink sparkling water flavored with some juice concentrate, bitters, and a big hunk of lime.

You have explained to them how in any future ethanol tolerance studies, those undergrad lab assistants will have unsupervised access ONLY to the storage areas with the Sani-Chips and Lab Blox, right? They must realize that those irregularities could have happened anywhere. I mean, you’ve tightened up your protocols and want to move forward, so why can’t they?

To add to the suggestions, if it’s just the glass pot that’s stained, you can use maybe a half cup of bleach and fill it up with water. Come back in a few minutes and your pot should be sparkling. Rinse well. If it’s the electric brewing thingee you’re trying to clean, after you follow Jim’s advice, I’d follow it up with at least a couple of pots of plain water through the brew cycle. If you don't, you may find that first pot or so of coffee really does have a “kick ass” flavor. And not in a good kind of way. Good luck.

No, never used it. Yet. Bring Back The Search Function! If "those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it," what about those who never knew the past to begin with?

This seems to shed a little more light on one aspect of the story: http://www.mauriceblackburncashman.com.au/...ongful_life.asp
