The Conservative Thread: Back to Basics. Pass the Lasagna and Have a Flower!!

[Michelle67]

The Big Cheese is looking good for 80.



I loves me some Rankin-Bass shows too! I hope ABC Family is doing that "25 Days of Christmas" programming block this year. That's been a nice tradition in recent years for our family to enjoy some of those old classics they show.

Ya know, I love all those oldies too, but my kids don't like them. They just don't get it, I guess. To them it's just really crummy animation. I bought some of them on vid and they groan if I force them to watch them. Sigh...

My must-sees are the Grinch (original animated), It's a Wonderful Life, and the Charlie Brown Christmas special. My husband's must-see is A Christmas Story. He says it is his whole dysfunctional childhood wrapped up with a red bow.

If she does take SoS, can you imagine the fireworks between her and MO? Not to mention the fact that most of H's staff are previous Clinton appointees -- Dick Morris called it a recipe for helplessness on H's part.

I call it a recipe for great entertainment.

i find it HILARYous the way she says his name....barrack....with that mom-ish expression on her face...like she's talkin' to a silly little kid.

Thanks! I've been lurking for a couple of months now, and I can't tell you how many times I've stared at the keyboard wanting to jump in.

Thanks for making me feel welcome!

I forgot to welcome you when I posted so....WELCOME! Don't stare at the keyboard, jump in any time! We don't bite.

A Christmas Story is and always will be my all-time favorite Christmas film.

Hiya! Welcome to the DIS and to the thread. Pull up a chair!

Hello to all. I'll be around for awhile; making a spreadsheet of all of the 7 for 4 WDW hotel rates. I might be booking in the next couple of days, although I still have no idea where or even when. We shall see, I suppose.

Did y'all see on TV last night, either CNN or MSNBC (can't remember which) where Obama will be having his mother-in-law live with him in the White House? Now, he could very well have a great relationship with her, I have no idea; but if she's anything like some of the mother-in-laws people in my family and many of my friends have... uh oh!

Yeah, I saw that. Wow!! MIL in the White House... should be interesting.

It sounds like a pitch for a sitcom, doesn't it? I'd cast the lady who played Aunt Esther on "Sanford and Son" as the MIL. She was great!

Haha!!! Maybe these next four years should be a reality show...

 

[breezy1077]

I need to try The Ref, too.

Besides the CB Christmas Special, Rudolph, et al, my staples are some oldies but very goodies ...

The Lemon-Drop Kid [from the 50s with Bob Hope]
The Man Who Came to Dinner [from the 40s with Bette Davis]
Desk Set [from the 50s with Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy]

I can't believe y'all haven't seen The Ref! It's hysterical.

Oh, and Desk Set is one of my all time faves!!!!

I also HAVE to watch Christmas in Conneticut with Barbara Stanwyck (sp?) .

Ooooo....I'd like to be a fly on the wall in THAT white house.

Hey everyone! Glad to see this thread still going strong even after the election!

 

[Tink & Goofy]

I just read the news clipping about the drunk driver eating his own underwear and all I could think about was skid marks!

Maybe eating one's own underwear causes premature aging. Sure would be rough on me.

My underwear are too pricey to eat. VS undies aren't cheap.
If I want cheap edible underwear I'll buy them at kmart.

Although I think Castle has a better selection...want directions? LOL

No. Is it bad that I know where it is?

Obama picks his AG. Another Clintonoid and get this, the first black AG!!! Woo hoo!!!

It really makes me wonder if the "first black" (insert official position here) is only meaningful when they are Dems. Did the Dems/Libs make a huge deal when Powell was picked? Or Rice? How did the Latinos react to Gonzalez?

I am amazed at how many Clintonistas are joining up for this administration. I knew there would be some, but this is becoming quite a roster!

Good point about "First (insert ethnic minority here)..."
