Conservative Thread: We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once

[Michelle67]

Oh gads you guys...since "floppy ears" has been brought up I gotta tell you guys this. It was terrible.

My mother came over on Sunday to watch my kids while I was at the charity benefit. I've told you guys before, that she is an OS, bless her little old lady heart. So we're chatting when I got back and she tells me that she wants my husband's address so she can send him a care package. Okay fine. So then she starts telling me what all she wants to send him...including this copy of the Rolling Stone because it has this really great article about Barack Obama in it, and maybe it will change his mind about some things. And did I know, they were talking about it in this article, that McCain is really just a mini Bush? That he has this powerful family that pretty much bought his way into the fighter squadron even though he kept wrecking planes, and that he has a vicious temper and a little man complex? I just stood there staring at her. Finally she said "Well, don't you think he'd be interested in reading it?"

So I asked her if she thought I should buy her best friend (ULTRA liberal, thinks the sun rises and sets on Oprah's fluctuating backside) a copy of Rush's book for Christmas. I think she got the point.

You should buy it for her anyway.
When I was at B&N the other day an Obama Lovers group was monopolizing all the stuffed chairs. They were teens. They just sat around in a group talking about how wonderful he is.
Right before it started the adult leader of the group told an elderly woman in a very snotty tone of voice, "These seats are taken. We're holding them".

Do any of you recall that Michelle Obama got a $300,000 a year, made-up vice presidency at the University of Chicago right after her husband was elected to the Senate and promised to earmark $1 million in federal funds for the hospital (which he did)? How is that any different at all than what Gov. Blagojevich was arrested today for doing — trading in political favors for personal profit? Really, how is it any different?

Gov Blagejovich was obviously stupid about it.


I am reminded of a favorite quote by Talleyrand (he has so many great ones).....which I will now purloin and mangle.....

"It was worse than a crime, it was a blunder".

and for Database (wherever she may be).....C'est pire qu'un crime; c'est une faute.

Talleyrand is one of my favorite historical figures-so diabolical and filled with self interest. A quote from Talleyrand is apropos when posting about floppy ears.
Floppy ears can have an impact on my life whereas Talleyrand is dead and gone-thus the reason one can be a favorite and one I abhor.

Just wanted to say a quick "hi."

I went skiing this weekend in Breckenridge and had a blast! I think I represented my Florida heritage well by falling every 10 feet. Afterwards, the group I was with went back to our host's condo (which resembled Disney's Wilderness lodge!), where I soaked in the hot tub outside, overlooking the mountains, with a big, fat La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero. It was a wonderful weekend.

To all who will be attending MouseFest, I hope you have a great week. The events sound like a lot of fun. Maybe next year we can do a Dis-Con Stogies Around The World meet!

Glad you had fun! Oh, and my hubby would love the Stogies around the World idea...he LOVES cigars!

Floppy ears spent 668 million for the presidency. I wonder what that will sell for when he leaves office.

She's doing pretty well except she has a head cold and it hurts when she sneezes. Rie is in eschool, so she stayed home and she can do her work on the computer at home.

Ouch! I'm so sorry about her nose! Praying for a fast and speedy recovery for her.

Hey guys, Illinois Gov. Blagojevich — a democrat — was arrested by the feds this morning at his home on corruption charges. He's part of the Tony Rezko scandal that many of you will recall incuded allegations of corruption by Barack Obama. Apparently the feds moved in because there were some shenanigans going on in his selecting the replacement in the Senate of Obama — Blagojevich tried to "sell" the seat to the highest bidder, apparently. This is the political environment our new president comes from. Buckle up. It's gonna be a bumpy ride!

The arrogance of most of the people in the Chicago political system truly astounds. I heard on the radio where he essentially dared them to listen to his phone calls. Ask and ye shall receive, ya moron.

I have news.. yes.. GOOD NEWS!!
HR called me. It doesn't get approval until the board meeting on the 17th *night*, but on the 18th (for two days) I have a job as the ELA interventionist for the remainder of the school year! Yes... that means my benefits are back! I've been saying major prayers before each hockey game.

ELA interventionist probably means no classroom and a floater, but I DON'T CARE! I don't know the school, either, but I DON'T CARE! The answer to my prayers just floated down! THANK YOU, GOD!

Congrats Debbie! I'm glad it's all working out for you.

A little note from my end asking again for everyone who is so inclined to continue praying for my family member who's having testing done later this week. And pray for worried me too.

Nah...but maybe I should buy it for my mother instead, huh?

 

[Family Fun Mom]

Hi guys! Well, I was going to escape and go have fun today, but unfortunately my son threw up on the bus so I had to go pick him up the minute he arrived at school.

I feel your pain. I had three home today, throwing up, one was dh. No fun. No fun at all.

 

[Mr Man]

OKAY! I'm a "SHE".

Oops! Kinda let that one out of the bag.......(darn you Mr Man and your incomplete understanding of OPSEC)

Now I shall have to use another Talleyrand quote........

" War is much too serious a thing to be left to military men. "

 

[Soarin08]

I feel your pain. I had three home today, throwing up, one was dh. No fun. No fun at all.

My sis called my mom at school saying she felt nauseated and then on the way home she threw up.... of course my mother, who KNOWS how vomit makes me go , just HAD to relay that wonderful tidbit to me via text message. I told her I didn't even want to hear it.

I know. He was cruel, petty, amoral.........and extremely accomplished.

Just think of the fun he would be having right now.......(shuddering, yet still kinda curious)

Yes. "Perhaps she'll learn something"!
