Is that Will Ferrel or Muamar Khaddafi?
Thai-ish to me.
Howdy!
How are you? Good to see your pixels again. I saw you last night but it's been a while.
BTW, we are playing a word game over at TheZoo.
How many words can you get from:
R O D B L A G O J E V I C H
I have 101. Who can top that? Come play should you choose.
I see "GO" & "JAIL" ..
Isn't that enough?
If hyphenation is allowed, I like BAD-GOV.
(I'm doin' OK but I haven't even started shopping for family or friends yet. I'm SO like my father!)
But Liar works well.
I missed jail...how did I miss that one?!?
I have 10 words over six letters (5 are 6 letters, 3 are 7 and 2 are 8). Oh where is Peter G.??
Come on...play with me!
I just got here but saw your post about the word game and went to the zoo to check it out.e
Am I psychic or was I just craving and you answered my beck and call? (Yeah, right...I know.) :-D
or Doge?
Ok, that Scrabble game we discussed.
I think I need to back out. :( You'd kick my ass.
I did get 'vigor' though. (wink wink)
I would not chide you about that. I might get your goat or worse still bore you. Now how many qualifying words are in the previous sentence?
in the prior two sentences excluding the I's.
You can add it to lots of words.
Check out this post (it is my rant about the tollway authority debacle I have been dealing with), but pay attention to the graphic.
It's a D.
Is it at the zoo?
I forgot it...refresh, the link is there.
And will you PLEASE sign up over there? (Pretty please?)
Right now.
this column is getting really thin.
and thinner
and thinner still
how
much
thinner
can
it
get
Are we restricted to English argot?
I might not quite rival you but if you abide by the rules and live large, I might come to adore you. I love your voice, it is like sweet carob...perhaps we can do a video to cover this hoard of words.
Now...how many did *I* come up with in that last sentence?
(I have stayed with English.)
and argot from my previous posts but did you get bloviate yet?
You just found the perfect Blago word!
Priceless! Well done!!
But I had to cheat . No t
did you count above?
If you were Canadian you'd need a "U" in your vigour.
No one is playing or posting.
Come out, come out where ever you are!
Nothing is going on in the world?
All kinds of things are going on. Check my comment below.
I read all the posts on C&L today. Where's Tequila? She always has good stuff!!
pounding my keyboard trying to figure out why wordpress won't let me register. I've tried before and it seems to be impossible.
I will fix ya up.
NY Times: Illinois Inquiry Goes Beyond Criminal Complaint
Reminiscent of the person found guilty of killing both his parents now begging mercy from the court on account of having recently become an orphan.
Great! Now scumbag politicians are giving everyone fortunate enough to have a full head of hair a bad name. I am not a despot!
That's not just a full head of hair, it's a mass of tufts, a shrubery, a forest.
I still have all of my hair, and lots of it, but my haircutter knows about thinning scissors. That's the trick.
SEC Employees Downloaded Porn, But Just WHAT Did They Watch?
Bush speeches!
I was observing all the different blogs and the comments today and I have to wonder what the commenters prioriyies are. Of all the blogs, Rick Earren and Obama carried the most comments by far. A leading woman's rights activist in Iraq was killed and beheaded. There were other blogs that should be the focus of our attention but everyone seemed to be obsessed by Obama's pick for giving a short speech about faith. What are our priorities? I care about everyone's rights but it's not going to overshadow all of the other things we have to be concerned about. Where are your priorities?
The Warren pick is huge to the Democratic base.
It is to me.
I am trying to stay positive but there are some things that bother me greatly. The Monsanto guy was a real kick in the teeth.
I am waiting for policy decisions...but I am getting unhappy.
it was almost 30-1 comments on that one subject for some of the blogs.
It is troubling. And I agree.
they're republican. Arghhh!
Keeping well out of the United States. 'Nuff said?
More seriously, I'm into the fix yourself so you can save the world kind of thinking. Then share, help and spread it all around you. It's catchy! It spreads.
Already mentioned yesterday, but the FBI engaged in war-profiteering while the U.S. refused to sign a U.N. resolution calling for the international decriminalization of homosexuality. Thanks for nothing, Madoff. Arnie continues to refuse to compromise on the budget in a way which saves jobs. Dunno if you're in a schadenfreude sort of mood, but Paris Hilton got robbed, making you wonder what's up with her security.
First I call up Peter G., and now Tequila.
I am starting to scare myself. :D
Good to see ya!!

How the CIA was illegally used to undermine commercial contracts and enable the Bush crime family and friends mega profits.
Is just fucking disgusting.
is a questionable source. She has claimed in the past that a vaccine for AIDS was created in CIA labs back in '83. Not only that, she supposedly suffers from Paranoid Schizophrenia. I'm not saying that what this source says can't be true; just consider me a skeptic at this point.
Yes, you can do the Nutcracker with cerebal palsy.
was excellent!!
At least Cali's Attorney General speaks out against Prop. 8. Obama continues to believe in global warming.
Bush has some pretty gnarly hair...
is out in force tonight, I see!
The AG actually flip-flopped against Prop. 8, as he was originally a supporter. More importantly, one of the people mentioned in that article-who does support Prop. 8-is a guy no one's heard of, by the name of Ken Starr. I guess that also dispels any legal argument Kenny boy used to defend his witch-hunt against Clinton's affair as being about perjury, and not about his personal life.
Watching that clip of Nixon berating the press, smiling all the while as he insults them, reminded me just what a nasty piece of work he was. One sick and twisted puppy that one!
Twice as bad.
I hold Nixon and Kissenger culpable in enabling Pol Pot (and the resultent killing fields slaughter) by their illegal Cambodian bombing. Nixon was the one who really tarnished the image of the executive office and drove a wedge between the hawks and doves. We are still living with the effects of that asshole. I'm sure Cheney looked up to Nixon as a role model on how to increase and abuse executive power.
That is where Cheney got his presidents should have all the power and nothing should ever be written down. I remember reading that a long time ago.
...and that the president should only know as much as need be. Cheney learned that Nixon knew too much and that he needed to be shielded somewhat. That's what he's been doing with the Chimp.
Nixon has plenty of blood on his hands, and also is the puppeteer.
From the power behind the throne in the 50s up until Bush41
Nixon was a protege of Prescott Bush.
Surprise!!
As the tangled web unwinds.
Birds of a feather...
Nazi.
No surprise here!
One letter
You are good! But I already knew that.
Nothing surprises me, although I'll admit I never expect the Inquisition.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

Don't forget that Nixon was also instrumental in putting Pinochet into power.
and cohorts with the Dulles brothers...
and he sure was linked to E Howard Hunt on many levels.
Parachuted to a new life in sunnier climes ?
and some random corpse now the dead pilot !
Michael Connell would have been a rather good but unwilling witness in any Congressional hearing. He knew where all the electoral vote stealing skeletons were buried.
http://www.ohio.com/news/break_news/36482529....
All the key players required to do the coverup were there within minutes of the crash...
Is this the guy they said knew where all the skeletons were buried (especially in the Siegleman case)?
It looks like someone hid Radar's dresses.
Can't resist:
Mother of Palin daughter's boyfriend arrested
But seriously:
Health providers' 'conscience' rule to take effect
It doesn't only apply to abortion.
What if a doctor's "conscience" tells him/her not to intervene in "God's will" and therefore allows a patient to die?
And 14th day of Greek riots:
More Violence in Athens as Protesters Attack French Institute
Wish you all well.
Cheney thinks that only Cheney should tell the national archives what should and should not be archived. So, screw you.

Bush wants to be remembered just the way he started his illegal terms: oblivious to reality. Bush turned the country into neo-China with his dash of homeless students. More Obama economy speak.
The inauguration is neither child, nor senior-friendly.
I'll give you a hint. It's not McCain.
Obama selects few reformers for Cabinet
Practical-minded centrists outnumber those known for pushing change.

ummmm guess you forgot one other nixon action , hes responcible for the arab oil cartel!
isnt it really insane to think that just because obama won the presidency that anything much is going to change, the dumbocrats are up to thier eyeballs in war profitering and collusion with the repiblicans with the exception of dennis kucinich and gravel, long live the dumborepigs party!
Hillary, Biden and Obama because they appear toi be the status quo and malleable to influential contributor's desires (meaning free of principle).
So what do we get? All three.
At least we didn't get any Edwards.
well sorry about tha!but unlike many here i listned to obamas speaches ,perhaps you didnt catch it!you know it was the same one rice made about sucking on israels tit, and irans the evil twin brother to iraq, and im going to give you lots of more deaths in afganistan ! change my ass!
With economy in shambles, Congress gets a raise
A crumbling economy, more than 2 million constituents who have lost their jobs this year, and congressional demands of CEOs to work for free did not convince lawmakers to freeze their own pay.
Instead, they will get a $4,700 pay increase, amounting to an additional $2.5 million that taxpayers will spend on congressional salaries

good morning concerned !
Hope you don't have the cold weather I'm getting! Got almost 3 feet of snow yesterday!
no snow here just cold , and windy!

Here.
I looked at those yesterday. best best of the year I've seen so far.
morning muddy !watched a great show on the mysterys of monteray bay last night on animal planet, funny while we were there i had an erie feeling about that stretch of water!
And a Happy Festivus to you !
They still don't know everything that's down in that submarine canyon here. I was watching a bunch of whales yesterday. Their migrating south right now. It's the food chain thing. Where there is food, their are hungry critters.
I am quite hungover...a bit of advice, never switch beers in mid debauch...
makes for a killer headache the next morning.
Why can't science DO SOMETHING about that!?
Might I suggest a Bloody Ceaser.
A bloody mary with Clamato juice. with a dash of horseradish. plenty of Worcestershire and Tabasco. and a blast of fresh lime juice.
yummmmmmmmmmm, that sounds tasty. Think I'll go make one right now.
Oh yeah, don't forget the Vodka.
Pabst Smear.
A glass of Pabst Blue Ribbon with a smudge of tomato paste.
To both of you...you actually would drink either of those???
(faint)
Clamato?!?! Speeeeew!
I do like red-eyes though....
A big beer with V8 and texas pete...breakfast o' champeens!
I thought the same thing. Until, now I luvs um.
The smell of Clamato makes my belly do bad things...
I'm not a big bloody mary drinker either...they take away teh hangover, and replace it with teh heartburn.
Naw...I'll stick to me red-eyes...and avoid loud noises and bright lights as long as possible today...
afore it starts rainin...
Got some organic burgers I want to turn into hockey pucks.
Then resume my libations.
Oh btw...goin to the flea market with me pa tomorrow..crazy bastard wants to LEAVE at 6am...
Criminy!
I mean, sure it's a good thing to get more cast iron cookin stuff, but 6am?! WTF dad?
Well...at least I'll be back in PLENTY of time to fall asleep before the Panthers/Giants game starts...GO PANTHERS!!!
Pabst Smear...
Punishable by imprisonment.

I happen to know that Lisa Simpson is lying about her age. She was 8 or 9 back in 1990. The incident in question was from last year.(snark)
What the hell are we doing in this country.
That you lived in OZ. Where are you located?
And yes, that is outrageously stupid! I loved the four fingers and yellow but still human bit. Unreal.
But there was a similar proposal in the US that would have made it child pornography if an actor portrayed someone who was younger than 18 and they were in any situation even remotely pornographic.
The fundies got all up in arms over that movie with Dakota Fanning (I wrote a piece about it here). From what I read, the flick pretty well sucked anyway, but they went totally apeshit over it.
If I recall correctly, at least we nixed the cartoon sex thing (even further for drawn images and graphically rendered depictions of children which look lifelike...no laws broken in these cases).
Thanks for the link. I read the piece.
European and Asian cinema do not have the same boundaries as American films. I mean, there aren't even any naked statues in America. (In the '84 olypmics the had fig leafs added to cover the private parts on the nude bronze statues at the entrance of the Los Angeles Coliseum)
Age of consent varies alot in those countries as well. So there is a lot of cultural relativity to consider (Vatican city has an age of consent of 12! that explains alot)
Whether you were for it or against it, our government didn't act in anyway pertaining to the constitution or our regular legal processes. The legislative branch said no, then the president said F you, I'll get it somewhere else. It wasn't a veto. He just got it from the TARP.
Its all coming off the same printing press.
Yet another unilateral move by chimpy.
Peace!
well itssuper saturday, time for super sales at the bargin stores , even senators and congressmen are haveing a half off sale, thier selling out at half price, now it only takes a half million bucks to buy one of these whores!
Looks like there was a rummage sale at MC Hammer's place.
