clutching their chests around here I could just puke! That’s what’s on my mind and I’m leaving the computer for the rest of the evening before it bursts into flames because I have developed pyrokinesis, which everybody in the world is of the opinion happens when a human being is exposed to too much BULLSHIT for a prolonged period of time!
The arrogance of the asshole. He believes he has a right to that Senate seat. His attitude is one of How dare you run against the gret Joe Lieberman. UGH!! Conn. people get out and vote in this primary!!
I just wanted to share a little slice of local life that I think BooMan will probably enjoy. From Philadelphia Will Do.
Neil Young is set to appear at Reading Terminal Market to announce the line-up for September’s Farm Aid at the Tweeter Center in Camden, tell us to buy local produce and, look surprisingly good in a hat no one who isn’t from Australia should attempt to wear.
Just as he’s about to take to the podium a tall, fat man with bucked teeth stands in front of a short, fit man with teeth I didn’t notice. Short, fit, un-notewothery teeth could no longer see and didn’t mind telling Badteeth about his displeasure. He then began calling Badteeth an asshole and various other nouns.
Badteeth responded with a, “Grow a few inches or move to the front! What can I tell ya?”
As Neil is announced, Badteeth raises his arms and hoots, looking back at Short/fit with a shit-eating grin to rub it in. It was at this point that Short/fit’s wife/girlfriend/acquaintance/concubine kicked Badteeth in the back of his leg.
“Did you just kick me, you bitch!?”
Then the following phrases were uttered, in no particular order: “I’m gonna grab a cop.” “Batty c***!” “Git da fuck outta here!” “He’s nuts” and “Git da fuck off me.”
All of this happened while Neil spoke quietly about sustained farming, organic and traditional farming + other forms of farming.
A cop came, took statements and escorted Badteeth out of the building while a man with a sign reading “MAKE LOVE, NOT WAR” looked on.
“Welcome to Minnesota” as well. Several years back, I attended a general admission, outdoor concert to see one particular band I had anticipated seeing for some time. Well, at 5’2″, I need to get to outdoor concerts early, to stake out a place where I know I’ll be able to see. On that particular evening, there was plenty of space to be had, but for some reason, an asshat guy – like, linebacker/Shaq size, stood directly in front of me, about one foot away, turned around with a smirk on his face and told me that he hoped I had enjoyed the first part of the show, because I wasn’t going to be able to see the rest.
Have no idea why that effing asshat picked me out of the crowd to mess with and unleash his “asshatedness”, but I wasn’t going to let him ruin the concert, so my friend and I picked up our belongings to find someplace else to watch the band. Funny thing, though (bless her heart!) While moving to a new location, my friend “accidentally” spilled her beer on the guy (her $500 a glass, concert beer, no less) Allow me to say, “Kodak moment”
Guess there’s no escaping the mean-spirited asshats of the world – whether in Philly or Minneapolis… or likely everywhere.
I guess we are all mindless this evening…lol!
turn on MSNBC for the debate between Lamont and Holy Joe.
Lieberman: Ned Lamont seems to running on one thing …me, and one issue…the war. Ned why don’t you stop trying to call me George Bush.
and stunt my kinesis growth. Thank you Booman!
Has Joe said the word Iraq or “axis” of evil yet or the lessons of 9/11.
I only caught the second half and I think managed to avoid it for the last half hour. Must have made his skin crawl.
Ned is a little nervous, but he is getting comfortable.
oooooooooooo…thanks for reminding me. Will turn on as soon as I close up the office for the day. Night all!

Some of us are still stuck at work ;^(
Thanks!
Lamont just said that people support the “C” word. Choice! Another donation to Ned is coming his way.
Lieberman makes me sick.
you and me both, sister.

My teeth are little more than broken old crockery. Fairly straight, but broken all the same.

The List of those who died in Viet Nam born on the same day as our Terrorist President the ChickenHawkPieceofShit
President George Bush was born July 6, 1946. He will be 60 years old this year. He will celebrate and be celebrated.
Twenty-five other Americans born the same day (July 6, 1946) died in the Vietnam war.
George Bush hid from combat and now sends others to kill and die.
But know he wants respect as commander in chief. I call him Liar in chief.
