Cheers to BiPM!
Cheers to the Tiger, my playmate and sweetie. Pizza was a great idea last night, my love.
Cheers to Pennsylvania voters. Please end the damage to the party by sending Clintons off to well deserved obscurity. Thanks.
Jeers to Keith Olbermann, for giving Hillary a free twenty minute campaign ad last night, letting her filibuster his questions, and virtually (I would say literally, but she was not physically in his presence) laughing in his face. You should know better than to give such scum a free ride, Keith.
Jeers to Hillary's horse laugh, trotted out last night whenever Keith asked a question to which she knew we all knew the disgusting answer. Like, "Why are you sucking up to Richard Mellon Scaife, who accused you of murdering Vince Foster?"
Jeers to Jon Stewart's snide "How WILL he break our hearts?" and for treating a Presidential candidate like a circus clown.
Jeers to food rationing, coming to the US. Buyers at various outlets are being told to limit their purchases of grains and rice. "Touch not the oil and wine."
Jeers to Joe Scarborough, for supporting the FLDS' policy of statutory rape and birth defects. Got news for you, you POS: Texas' Department of State Health Services is having to do DNA testing just to tell who's fathered what by whom, and that data will be used to prosecute. Here's a hint: when folks who proclaim themselves heterosexual don't bother to acquire a marriage license, they're kind of giving you a clue that they know that what they're up to is illegal.
Here's to the demise of the lying, terrorist regime in the White House and the utter destruction of all its criminal accessories in Washington, DC, by torch, pitchfork, axe, and rope. May they all, every last one of them, refresh and manure the roots of the Tree of Liberty, and that right soon. sic semper tyrannis.
So long as men die, Liberty will never perish. -- Charlie Chaplin, "The Great Dictator"

who used to talk trash mercilessly.(Absolutely hysterical character assassination.) I like to think that whenever I'm talkin' up a mean storm of trash a huge part of Pennsyltucky is deep inside me, and won't leave me.

If you're driving from one end of of Pennsylvania to the other, it feels like it takes twenty years to complete the journey.
This is because all of the mountains the highways need to curve around and sometimes bore right through. I've always loved tunnels through mountains. Not sure why. I think thats why they invented the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
by JoelNH on Tue Apr 22, 2008 at 06:27:11 AM PDT
all those lead pedallers trying to dash through Pennsylvania on their way to the Big Apple. Insane numbers of speed traps.
by behan on Tue Apr 22, 2008 at 06:33:41 AM PDT
I love the tunnels in PA. Growing up on Long Island, and in the NW corner of NJ, we had our fair share of tunnels going in and out of the city. None of them compared to the PA tunnels. There are parts of PA I find breathtaking, especially in the early morning on a frosty day.
Peace.

were built for a railroad that was never completed. The Pennsylvania Railroad system built a line called the West Shore (of the Hudson River) from New York Harbor to Albany to compete with the New York Central RR. In retaliation, the NYC began to build a line across PA. J.P. Morgan, foreseeing ruinous competition, arranged a truce. The West Shore was bought by the NYC, and the new trans-PA line was abandoned; later the right-of way and tunnels were acquired for the Turnpike.

in New York for a year when I was a kid, originally from Indiana. We were so homesick for family during that time, we took a lot of car trips back and forth. I don't think I would have yet forgiven Pennsylvania for how darn long it is from corner to corner if I hadn't taken a trip as an adult, gotten off the turnpike, seen Fallingwater and driven scenic little backroads. But I did so good luck, PA, with that primary. Do the right thing!

so sad, really.
last nights commercials were particuarly ugly.

I really feel for ya, man.
by khereva on Tue Apr 22, 2008 at 05:42:40 AM PDT
because she had run positive commercials up until last night.
this must be that kitchen sink

Well, if there's a solid defeat to her tonight, that may give the Supers a chance to tell her it's over.

But, don't you think anyone watching could see right through her and her laugh? I was surprised by Jon's comment, maybe he doesn't want us to get our hopes up, but that's what we should do.

It's my Birthday and I'll CHEER if I want to!
CHEERS to turning 45 today. and an even bigger CHEERS for not looking or feeling (or acting) my age. Hopefully the next 45 will be as pain-free and happy as the first 45 were.
CHEERS to my lovely wife Dania Audax, who is one of the main reasons why I feel so good here in my dotage. She's why the next 45 will be great as well.
CHEERS to Barack Obama for being genuinely funny, but also reasonable and serious last night on the Daily Show. If only his opponent weren't so dangerously crazy
CHEERS to the OBAMA '08 T-Shirt that the aforementioned lovely wife bought me for my birthday. It arrived yesterday in the mail with a window sign that I promptly displayed in the front window. Now to take care of the lawn...
CHEERS for Kossack Meetups. If you're in the Northeast Ohio area (or Toledo, or Columbus, or Erie and Pittsburgh), you should check out the diary I wrote yesterday for details about the NEOhio Kossack Meetup on Saturday May 3rd. Bill, as one of your earliest supporters and a leader of the Hire Bill movement, I fully expect you to use the money I've been sending you every month to buy a plane/bus/train ticket and come join us. I'll even change the sheets n the guest bedroom for you, so you (and Michael, of course) don't need to get a hotel.
CHEERS to everyone else here in the crazy, lovely, inspiring, laugh-a-second comfort zone we call C&J. I don't know what I would do if this community didn't exist -- I do know, however, that life would be far more boring.

and checking this website, I correct myself and agree it was Boynton. I got the 1975 version... and I think I still have it squirreled away somewhere.

I repeated that poem dozens of times - waay back in the 70s. Haven't thought of it in years. I'd never seen this musical version before, just a greeting card and perhaps an apron.
Wow, memory lane on C&J.

Our family lived on a street full of Hippies (we were too... no surprise there) and they were in the street partying and celebrating Earth Day, and I thought they were saying "Birthday" until they corrected me -- and sang "Happy Earthday" to me. Mom brought my cake outside, and everybody had a great time.
"Earth Day is My Birthday" has been a personal motto ever since.

These people seem to be living the same way certain groups of animals do. Drive out the young male competition so the alpha males can have all the females. Only they took it to an evil extreme so I guess they're human after all. I only hope the state continues to pay attention to these sad, crazy people and don't let it all slide down a memory hole.

BiPM, if we got an "A+" on that quiz about who the army wants, does that mean we get the "A" answer plus someone else? Or are the "A"s different from each other? I'm confused! ;-)
Cheers to fun times last night! I know that Khereva wanted KO to shred Hillary on the interview, but that would sound paranoid, "Stop laughing at me! Stop laughing at me!" I think he did just fine.
Cheers to pizza and cheesesticks! Of course they are much better when Khereva makes them, but we're low on cheese right now.
