God Rigs Election: It's Bush In A "blowout"

[shereads]

Maybe there is something to the hair angle afterall.

Senate/Congressional hair is virtually identical to Board of Directors hair, as you'll see if you pick up the annual report of a Fortune 500 company. Turn to page 6. A glance at the group portrait will reveal a striking resemblance between Board of Directors hair and Jimmy Johnson hair (aka Football Coach hair).

What's disturbing is the eerie resemblance between Jimmy Johnson's hair and TV Evangelist hair, of which Pat Robertson's hair is a good example.

Coincidence?

I noticed that you failed to mention cable TV guy hair and News Anchor hiar. Not sure what category they fit into but...

So far, I've never become giddy from going to the dentist. Dizzy, yes, nauseated, yes, moaning in pain for three weeks afterwards, yes - but giddy? Never!

And that's even WITH the 97%-strong alcohol they dab on a swollen tooth!


What the... do American dentists use???

LOL,

From the dentist I returned home loopy. I am not even sure thats a word or of the exact definition, but it's that slightly off feeling you get from anesthetic and a big whoping pain killer for when the antisthetic wears off.

Giddy comes from that email from that certain someone who just makes you feel all kinds of warm and fuzzy

Swedish has an expression for the post-painkiller feeling: "för jävligt".

It's hard to translate it without losing the original strength of the expression. I think the closest would be to think of it as an adjective form of "Fuck off!!!"

Yeah, that pretty much nailed it.

I have always used loopy for the feeling, ever since the Calvin and Hobbes where Calvin notes Hobbes is always a little loopy after coming out of the dryer.

Thats kinda how it feels, the world isn't tilted quite right and things sorta move from where they were when you reached for them.

Oh, THAT feeling! I get that when I put my glasses on.

 

[Guest]

Oh, thank you, Colly! I'm going to write the AMA and tell them to include "loopy" in the effects of menopause. Calvin was so wise...

Topic:

"Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to work for substantially less than the federal legal minimum wage..."

The President, suddenly sensing that he's pro-immigrant, has decided that illegal immigrants working in the U.S. can be given legal status for up to three years.

(One assumes that this excludes the Haitian mothers, children and teenagers who have been under house arrest at a motel in Miami for a year - and who have been pronounced a "security risk" by the Secretary General, who overruled immigration officials and denied them the right to apply for asylum.)

Questions: if you had been working illegally in the United States and had the opportunity to apply for legal status lasting 3 years, would you come forward? Or would you ask your employer, Mrs. Bush, to do it for you, next time she compliments the way you've kept the rest of the staff in line at the ranch?



Could this have anything to do with it being an election year, and immigrant-friendly Florida being a critical swing state (as well as a dangling chad)?

The beauty of the Executive Branch being separate from the Legislative Branch is that our boy can suck all of the juicy election-year goodness out of this gesture regardless of whether it eventually comes to a vote in Congress.

The Wisdom of Calvin is, I think, a kind of anti wisdom. More of a look at what I am doing and don't ever try this at home. Fortuneatly even though his creator has stopped letting us in on his life I think there is a little bit of Calvin in all of us. Hopefully I will never completely out grow the 6 year old in me

You say I'm not cynical? Just wait til you reach menopause.

Oh, shit! That means I've just hit menopause at the age of 27!

 

[Guest]

Highly unlikely, Flicka. PM me your symptoms and I'll diagnose you (based on experience and lots of reading). P.

I'm cynical, bitter, hateful; I snap at people, I'm rude, I'm cold-hearted, I'm overweight, I sweat whenever I try to do anything physically challenging (like tying my shoelaces), I've got a bad cold, I'm broke, I haven't had sex since the end of June, I'm nearsighted, and I can't seem to get pass Level 4 on "Space Invaders".




Level with me, doctor - it's menopause, isn't it?

 

[Guest]

Level with me, doctor - it's menopause, isn't it?

If you are still having periods, No. I declare all the above symptoms due to lack of a job, lack of sex, and more importantly, lack of Hubby.

Dr. P.

p.s. I presume you do not wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night (other than when sick with a cold and fever).

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Ehmmm... no, but that could be because I seldom get to bed before 3am. I get up at 1pm.

Menopause? I should hope not. Mom & dad will flip if I reach menpaouse before having a grand kid for them to spoil

Cynics get a bad rap, like Liberals. Who says it's bad to be cynical?

Bitter is half of bittersweet.

Hateful and and snappish and rude and cold-hearted are likely not full-time and permanent, or you wouldn't be worried about them.

30% of women who are within their healthy weight range think they are overweight. Your picture is adorable. BTW, Africa's "Miss Ivory Coast" pageant judges women on the enormity of their bellies and derrieres. Thinness is considered beautiful only in cultures where there's a lot of food.

For the cold, try Zicam zinc throat spray. Cold will be gone in half the time.

Sex, when you do have it, will be so much more thrilling because it's been such a long time.

If you don't believe that glory fades quickly, you will if you ever win a case of beer by achieving the night's high score at Space Invaders. It was only fifteen years ago, and nobody even recognizes me on the street. Plus I don't like beer.

See? Everything is or will be fine.

According to the calculator, I weigh 253,53 pounds.

Mom and I are going to the Weight Watchers tomorrow.


Can you believe I weigh more than my mother???

 

[Svenskaflicka]

In India, they have a beuaty pageant for fat women only - the Miss Elephant Contest!

When your mom is in her seventies like mine, everyone will weigh more than she does. Why do old people become tiny? And shorter?
