Hard Deck!
Author: Raine
Date: 12/22/2011 13:48:16
I've hit the hard deck here.
In the meantime, please enjoy this: Yeah... I know I said it yesterday, but I still think it is cool as all get out.
In the meantime, please enjoy this:
Kotuby drove back to Del Ray only to find Obama was picking up three large pizzas from a restaurant near her home. She couldn’t get to her house because the street was blocked. She asked the Secret Service if they would let her pass.
“They let me in and I got my camera and walked down to the pizzeria,” she said.
Kotuby then waited for the president with a crowd of people at the corner of Mt. Vernon and East Del Ray avenues.
“He recognized us and asked ‘Are you following me?’” Kotuby said.
She asked the president if he minded posing for a photo with her kids. Obama then leaned across a line of caution tape, put an arm around each of Kotuby’s kids and posed for a photo.
“He worked the whole line,” Del Ray resident Liz Chadderdon said of Obama’s stop in Del Ray. “Then he just picked up a box and left.”
Obama's order included three large pizzas—one with pepperoni and sausage, one with onions and green peppers and one supreme.
“I had no idea he was coming here,” Del Ray Pizzeria chef Eric Reid said. “I got a call from someone asking why he was being patted down to come in [the restaurant].”

Morning, comrades!
Faaaaan - tastic.
Faaaaan - tastic.
Even nature is mourning, the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported on Thursday.
Following the storm's sudden end at dawn on Tuesday, a message carved in rock - "Mount Paektu, holy mountain of revolution. Kim Jong-il" - glowed brightly, it said. It remained there until sunset.
On the same say, a Manchurian crane also apparently adopted a posture of grief at a statue of the late leader's father in the northern city of Hamhung.
"Even the crane seemed to mourn the demise of Kim Jong-il, born of Heaven, after flying down there at dead of cold night, unable to forget him," KCNA reported officials as saying.

This is my sisters rendering of me after a night of one too many bombay saffire martini's.
As the story goes, I fell off the porch and she thought she ran over me when she went to get the car to bring me home... it is a fairly accurate drawing. The hat and the handbag never left my body.
She came to my house the next morning asking how I felt, I said fine and she asked again... are you sure?
I was puzzled -- and then she pointed to this drawing she drew from the previous evening, on the coffee table. IT was then I heard the entire sordid gin soaked tale...

Ya know....if I'm ever President, I think I'll blow Christmas off entirely and do a hybrid Filipino/Cuban thing and make a big deal out of Three Kings. (Xmas is a minor holiday, although significant in religion, in those traditions - the big deal is January 6 when the Magi arrive with the gifts!)
I'll also set up a slo-mo camera for all those head explosions.

please take note of this part of his CNN interview:
I know what Bobber said when he heard this interview -- CNN seems to have missed it... Did you?
PAUL: Goodbye.
PAUL: I never read that stuff. I was probably aware of it ten years after it was written. And it’s been going on twenty years that people have pestered me about this. And CNN does it every single time.
BORGER: Is it legitimate? Is it a legitimate question to ask that something that went out under your name? [crosstalk]
PAUL: And when you get the answer it’s legitimate that you take the answers I give. You know what the answer is? I didn’t write them. I didn’t read them at the time. And I disavow them. That is the answer.
BORGER: It’s legitimate, it’s legitimate. These things are pretty incendiary.
PAUL: Because of people like you.
BORGER: No, come one. Some of the stuff was very incendiary, you know, saying that in 1993 the Israelis were responsible for the bombing of the World Trade Center. That kind of stuff.

It isn't from you since it's not your address. Kind of narrows down the Virginia group a bit.

Ron is a racist douche bag. There, I said it. I'm not taking it back. Even though it might offend a douche bag or two.

please take note of this part of his CNN interview:PAUL: I never read that stuff. I was probably aware of it ten years after it was written. And it’s been going on twenty years that people have pestered me about this. And CNN does it every single time.
BORGER: Is it legitimate? Is it a legitimate question to ask that something that went out under your name? [crosstalk]
PAUL: And when you get the answer it’s legitimate that you take the answers I give. You know what the answer is? I didn’t write them. I didn’t read them at the time. And I disavow them. That is the answer.
BORGER: It’s legitimate, it’s legitimate. These things are pretty incendiary.
PAUL: Because of people like you.
BORGER: No, come one. Some of the stuff was very incendiary, you know, saying that in 1993 the Israelis were responsible for the bombing of the World Trade Center. That kind of stuff.
I know what Bobber said when he heard this interview -- CNN seems to have missed it... Did you?
PAUL: Goodbye.

Now, I will present a vision of Christmas Future as presented by Newt Gingrich and his cyborg overlord Darth Cneney:

HE didn't bother to say that he disagreed with anything these newsletters said.

Exactly - Paul is saying they are incendiary because of people like Borger, not because of their content. Apparently, they would not be incendiary otherwise.
Guess again, pal...

Of course you still have to use it if you use eBay since the bulk of the transactions are via PayPal.

Doesn;t sound like it, Mala.
there will be a 5 pm Presser -- but I think the GOP said yes to the 2 month extension -- THEY had to save face.

personally I am VERY happy that they took the 2 month extension -- the house version is really really bad.
Time to get the damn house in line with governing, instead of spending every other week on 'constituent weeks' which doesn't really amount to shite for the house republicans....
If they spent more time in DC doing the people work we would never have had to get to this point -- AGAIN!
