And donuts to dollars, that envoy will be Bill Richardson. Notorious down in these parts as a fellow traveler with the "nut job" next door. (Whose quotation marks are those, hm?)<BR/><BR/>Amb. Brownfield will be leaving and the next guy will certainly come with a *different* POV and set of marching orders.<BR/><BR/>What we have down here now is just about the best of all worlds - with a very, very rare combination of political, diplomatic, and military talent on both sides. In the rising success story of a sole continental ally. It's the singularity. There are people who would sell their mothers to get down here now.<BR/><BR/>Obama is going to shit all over it.<BR/><BR/>Once Colombia's cut adrift, there ain't nothin' else for us in South America. THIS was it. The Colombians will turn to the Europeans and the Chinese - the latter of which especially have no need for direct government involvement. The latter of which are already all over Brazil. (Which Obama can only talk about in terms of sustainable development and energy, which they can't sell to us.)<BR/><BR/>I don't think Obama's an empty suit. I agree with what-is that he's a believer.trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139410627244875589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-6797817718678583042008-05-24T08:16:00.000-04:002008-05-24T08:16:00.000-04:00Chicago, pre jive ass interloper, Osama Hussein.<A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpWSNm07WNg" REL="nofollow"> Chicago, pre jive ass interloper, Osama Hussein. </A>Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-9569766626675444682008-05-24T07:26:00.000-04:002008-05-24T07:26:00.000-04:00...but not as good as young Chuck: - Chuck Berry -......but not as good as young Chuck:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0YUA3yTUss" REL="nofollow"> - Chuck Berry - Johnny B.

He's a great provider and we live in a beautiful home. He dotes on me and treats me like a queen; even after twenty years he still brings me little gifts and opens doors for me. Best yet, our sex life is fantastic! Jeremiah enjoys spicing things up with role-play, such as "Adolf and Eva," and we host weekly swinger get-togethers for like-minded couples. I know it probably must sound kind of kinky, but trust me - it keeps things interesting in "the boudoir."<BR/><BR/>That's wh<STRONG>Dear Barry:</STRONG>ere the trouble comes in. Lately it's been hard for Jeremiah to step out of his bedroom character, even when we have company over. For example, the other night I was hosting bunco night for the neighborhood girls and Jeremiah came goose-stepping into the rec room in his black leather swastika thong and riding crop, screaming "Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer!!" <BR/><BR/>Frankly, it was somewhat embarrassing. I've asked Jeremiah to "tone it down" and save the Nuremberg speeches for the privacy of swinger's night, but he refuses. Also, I think he may be clinically insane. I'm worried that if word gets out it may hurt our chances of getting membership in the country club. What should I do?<BR/><BR/>Confused in Hyde Park<BR/><BR/><STRONG>Dear Confused:</STRONG><BR/><BR/><EM>Remember the old saying, "dance with the one who brung ya." Despite his kinks Jeremiah got you where you are today, and it's important for you to remain loyal to him until you're absolutely certain he has become a real liability for your country club application. If so, encourage Jeremiah to strip down to his thong and rant about Jews at the next country club cocktail party. Then you can feign heartbreak, and run crying for the bathroom. This will earn you the sympathy of the club admissions committee, and they will probably offer you an individual membership for your "courage." Jeremiah won't mind because he's obviously more into his Fuhrer fantasy than improving his golf swing. And trust me -- the make-up sex you have later will be unbelievable! </EM>Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-53604798863382456042008-05-24T04:36:00.000-04:002008-05-24T04:36:00.000-04:00Salt Water Croc Bests Shark Down Under--Battle of ...<A HREF="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/2014505/Crocodile-and-shark-clash-in-battle-Down-Under.html" REL="nofollow">Salt Water Croc Bests Shark Down Under--Battle of the Titans</A><BR/><BR/>If I reincarnate to a lower level, being a salt water croc might not be so bad.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-13850549670254469132008-05-24T04:24:00.000-04:002008-05-24T04:24:00.000-04:00More tips from America's premier relationship expe...More tips from America's premier relationship expert:-- gave me a good laugh to go to bed on.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-57109185404392621722008-05-24T02:17:00.000-04:002008-05-24T02:17:00.000-04:00More tips from America's premier relationship expe...<A HREF="http://iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2008/04/advice-for-the.html" REL="nofollow"> <STRONG>More tips from America's premier relationship expert:</STRONG> </A> <BR/><BR/><STRONG>Dear Barry:</STRONG><BR/><BR/>I try to get along with the people in my neighborhood, but sometimes it can be difficult. Take for example my neighbor "Mahmoud." Last weekend while I was seeding my lawn, he drove back and forth slowly in front of my house "flipping the bird" from his minivan, which is painted with pictures of bloody corpses and mushroom clouds and "welcome 12th Imam." Normally I wouldn't have given it a second thought (I get "fingered" by a lot of the neighbors), but lately I've noticed he has been working on some kind of secret project in his garage with really stinky chemicals. Also, I've been getting these constant annoying 3 AM phone calls threatening to kill my kids.<BR/><BR/>Frankly, I'm sort of worried about the situation, but even the neighbors I get along with tell me I shouldn't jump to conclusions, and not to make a big deal of it. I don't want to make waves, but I also don't want to end up like the Goldbergs who had their house burned down last week. Am I being too much of a "worry wart"? Please help! <BR/><BR/>Concerned in Northbrook<BR/><BR/><STRONG>Dear Concerned:</STRONG><BR/><BR/><EM>Misunderstanding and mistrust is a two-way street, and it's important to ask yourself: what did I do to create this situation? Without thinking, sometimes the things we do can understandably trigger homicidal rage in our friends and neighbors. Put the shoe on the other foot -- how would you like it if you had a neighbor who was always showing you up with his big gas-guzzling SUV and manicured hedges?<BR/><BR/>Before things escalate further, you should take the initiative and invite Mahmoud over for coffee and chit chat. No preconditions, and maybe you could bring a pie from Bakers Square. While he is enjoying a delicious slice of Boston Cream, let Mahmoud know that you understand his feelings, and you will do whatever it takes to repair your tattered reputation in the neighborhood. As a show of good faith, why not offer him a few bags of fertilizer and fuel for his lawn mower?</EM>Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-71903077756111966722008-05-24T02:08:00.000-04:002008-05-24T02:08:00.000-04:00Dear Barry: I love my wife, but frankly sometimes ...<A HREF="http://iowahawk.typepad.com/" REL="nofollow"> Dear Barry: </A><BR/><BR/>I love my wife, but frankly sometimes "Michelle" doesn't have the greatest social graces. I am a VP at a large industrial corporation and in line for a major promotion, so last weekend I invited the CEO and his wife to our house for dinner and cocktails. I was worried that Michelle might cause a scene, so before hand I reminded her over and over again how important it was that she make a good impression. When they showed up at the house, right after introductions, my CEO said, "you must be very proud of your husband." So Michelle says, "and you must be very embarrassed it took you stupid assholes four years to offer us a promotion."<BR/><BR/>And that was just the first uncomfortable silence. When Maria (our housemaid) was serving the salad course, she accidentally dropped a plate and Michelle started screaming at her. Then she looked at my boss and said, "sorry, it's impossible to hire anybody but idiots on the lousy $400,000 salary you cheap bastards pay us." Throughout dinner Michelle continued hectoring my boss about how screwed up my company is, and too obsessed with profits, and how she and I were going to fix all that, and why everyone probably should all drop out of the corporate world and become artists. To top it all off, during dessert she brought out her black velvet paintings of Che Guevara.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, this week at work my CEO hasn't returned any of my emails or phone messages. What should I do to get back on the career ladder? <BR/><BR/>Mortified in Lake Forest<BR/><BR/><STRONG>Dear Mortified:</STRONG><BR/>First off, you need to stop treating "Michelle" as a liability. In fact, thanks to a little thing called the Americans With Disabilities Act, she could be your "ace in the hole"! Fire off an email to your CEO announcing that "Michelle" is diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome, and if you get passed over for the promotion he will be looking down the barrel of a fat federal civil rights lawsuit. After you move up to that corner office, you can say thanks to "Michelle" by appointing her head of the corporate diversity outreach department.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-16919913122431904792008-05-24T02:00:00.000-04:002008-05-24T02:00:00.000-04:00A Time to Kill Compassionate Conservatism These ar...<A HREF="http://scottott.blogtownhall.com/2008/02/15/a_time_to_kill_compassionate_conservatism.thtml" REL="nofollow"> <STRONG>A Time to Kill Compassionate Conservatism</STRONG> </A><BR/><BR/>These are some of the core beliefs that make conservatism as glorious an ideal as fallen man can conceive. <BR/><BR/>If the ideal seems yet afar off, it's not a failure of Conservatism. It's a failure of courage, and a lack of vision.

Essentially, that covers the full range of registered Democrats.”<BR/><BR/>The former president said the Obama-Hillary pairing “would balance the ticket in way that keeps virtually every Democrat at home on election day, thus de-legitimizing the process, which we all know is corrupt anyway.”Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-66735803398050756342008-05-24T00:11:00.000-04:002008-05-24T00:11:00.000-04:00It wouldn't matter anyway as the convention Isn't ...It wouldn't <I>matter</I> anyway as the convention <A HREF="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=65175" REL="nofollow">Isn't Going To Happen</A> in this space/time continuum.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-56794521951226066542008-05-23T23:50:00.000-04:002008-05-23T23:50:00.000-04:00Jim Henley.

Funny.<BR/><BR/>May 23, 2008<BR/>Master Blaster<BR/><BR/>Clearly Hillary Clinton was not calling for the assassination of Barack Obama, as all the haters are trying to claim. She doesn’t consider Obama an "inspirational leader" like RFK, but as a particularly melanin-rich George McGovern, the pipe-dream left-wing candidate doomed to spectacular general-election failure. If anything, she sees herself as RFK, the insurgent candidate on the cusp of a Summer of Triumph. So the inescapable conclusion is that Hillary Clinton was actually subtly calling for the assassination of Hillary Clinton. That’s right, Loyal Readers - the insidious virus of Clinton Derangement Syndrome has now claimed its greatest victim: Hillary Clinton. And in a sprawling, violent country like this, there is a real risk some deranged person - such as Hillary Clinton - will taker her up on it.<BR/><BR/>Of course, even if Hillary does the full Budd Dwyer, No Quarter and Make Them Accountable will still hold out for the Risen Hillary to get an absolute majority at the convention, once the rules committee seats the delegates from Pompeii and Krakatoa, as it must to avoid disenfranchising those voters.<BR/><BR/>Posted by Jim Henley @ 10:31 pm, Filed under: Maintrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139410627244875589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-18590981760863698622008-05-23T21:57:00.000-04:002008-05-23T21:57:00.000-04:00Ethanol is cheaper than Blood, but Waters is cheap...Ethanol is cheaper than Blood, but Waters is cheaper than Ethanol.<BR/><BR/>We'll all 'own' Chevron then, like we do the national parks!<BR/>---<BR/><BR/><I>As we approached the town of Dachau, there were signs directing us to the camp (a huge McDonald's sign is also a good landmark).</I><BR/><BR/>The winner is--Ronald McDonald.
