Knowing how many houses you own is all the rage; I'll be a conformist and join in. Let's make sure I have everything. Clipboard? Check. Calculator with graphing capabilities? Check. Slide rule? Check. Here we go...number of humble abodes owned by CityLightsLover & spouse...one! Check! Um...hm...uh...gee...[insert crickets chirping here]...well hell... Y'all will have to help me out so I can get my money's worth out of this fancy calculator other than figuring out how to spell naughty words. I'll send the slide rule to Senator McCentury campaign headquarters with some petroleum jelly so Joementum can slide it where the sun don't shine while he's checking bearings.
Today's "This Day in History" needs to be emailed to Cokie Roberts ad nauseum! On this date in 1959, Hawaii became A STATE - not some foreign playground like Monnoco - A F*CKIN' STATE! Y'all think Cokie's learned her Geography 101 by now?
Since my brain's been going every thousands of ways this week, I've forgotten to plug the fact that I'm subbing for PastorDan again this Sunday evening; I'll post between 8 & 8:30 east coast time. Thanks in advance for your participation & support!
Let's do that voodoo we all do so well with Countdown!
#5 "McNopoly" AKA "McCain’s Flush" AKA "Fundamental Case" AKA "McMoneybags" - I wonder if Senator McCentury knew he was being taped during that conversation? Yep, I’d love it if Senator McCentury’s campaign went right down the terlet. Senator Obama does sarcasm so well! He needs to show this side way more often. I want whatever Brian Rogers is smoking that’s disconnecting him so much from reality; I need a vacation from reality these days but am too broke to go anywhere. What’s 7 or 8 houses between crooks...er...uh...friends? The devil is in the details, ain’t it! It doesn’t really matter if Cindy owns the houses or not. A kosher hot dog & milk?! EEEeeeeWWWwww! WRONG! Not only is Senator McCentury’s awful POW experience getting cheapened, but he’s only supposed to be talking about this experience "reluctantly," but he also feels free to doctor the details to his advantage. Senator McCentury said out loud that our economy is strong. OK...I guess I need to add "strong" to the list of "invade" and "unity" as far as words that don’t mean what we all thought they meant. All of these words now mean taking a pee on an electric fence while wearing a pink tutu. E.J. Dionne’s been busy today; he was on Diane Rehm’s show, too, talking about the upcoming conventions. Where’s Cindy’s other hand on the cover of that magazine?! Never mind... I don’t really want to know.
#4 "Feelin’ the Draft" AKA "Rough Draft" AKA "Elective Service" - I wonder if there’s drafts in any of Senator McCentury’s/Cindy’s houses? Senator McCentury, George Washington would think you’re a spoiled brat punk. Yea for Jon Soltz! I get emails from him all the time. I can’t believe that someone on Senator McCentury’s staff hasn’t reminded us all that Senator McCentury does not speak for the campaign.
**I recognized Mickey in the spud right away! OMG...hadn’t that poor soccer player been through enough?**
BUSHED! "Foxes Guarding the Henhouse – Gate" - A GWB hack is overseeing how fair the 2008 election is going to be. "Police State – Gate" - Writing to A.G. Mukasey about spying on Americans is needlessly killing trees & wasting ink. "Is Obama Already Running U.S. Foreign Policy – Gate" - I am so relieved that Condi’s in Iraq to iron all this out; she’s done a faboo job so far!
#3 "Veepstakes" AKA "Decision Made" AKA "Name Your Second" - Y’all think Senator Obama is having fun with all this stuff? Oh, there’s Senator Bayh, and there goes my damn stomach again. Please let Jonathan Alter be right! I would love to see Senator Biden & Joementum in a debate.
***Um...did I hear Keith say that there was going to be a Saturday evening Countdown? OK...what are y’all doing Saturday night?! :D***
WPITW – John Guard (sp?) thinks Cuba is into offshore drilling. Whatever... David Petraeus is endorsing rightwing religious nutjobs. "The comedian" was probably picked on by girls as a kid; I sure would’ve beaten the $hit out of "him"!
#1 "McMansions" AKA "Million Dollar Listing" AKA "Poli – Ticks" - Robert Klein! Kewl!! Mr. Klein, you are not a "geezer"! I agree with Robert Klein about the "racial thing." What a man...what a millionaire...what a private pilot... :D
