pm317 said...: Wow, they are really poking the electorate in the eye, aren't they?

Just a side comment on Newt's surge. He is the only one with sound bites going after Obama. Romney is a wuss. And the majority wants Obama vetted this time around with no blank checks. Palin became popular more because she was the only one asking the tough questions when no one dared to.; 12/1/11, 8:45 AM
Joe Schmoe said...: Slightly off topic, but Instapundit has a link to a story about how Google is now railing against a proposed anti-piracy regulation for internet sites. Ann, didn't you just post something within the last week, a quote from the Google CEO, saying that over-regulation wasn't hurting the economy? Larry Page now getting his 'shot' while he's being forced to eat his peas. Tell me again why these supposed 'leading lights' continue to support Barry?; 12/1/11, 8:55 AM

From your lips to God's ears.; 12/1/11, 8:55 AM

Scott M said...: From your lips to God's ears.

Joe, your comment made me re-read mine and I realized that I made a horrible mistake. The sentence should have read;

What hospital do you guys think the First Lady will be "working" at after Jan 2013?

That's a huge difference and far more accurate.; 12/1/11, 8:57 AM
pm317 said...: If you didn't, will they pull out the 'you're racist card'? Look at this Politico article where the reporter twists herself into a pretzel with all kinds of excuses for Obama not doing well in PA. No election has beaten and battered the white working class voters in the head as this guy's. Post-racial president indeed.; 12/1/11, 8:57 AM

When you are comfortably in the lead, you get to help make the rules that keep you there, and hopefully close the door behind you. You don't want any pesky upstarts nipping at your heals with their damned better ideas.

It's kind of like being a boomer.; 12/1/11, 9:01 AM
The Crack Emcee said...: Me, Barack, and Ann.

Wow - Meade's not invited? What an insult. And why go for the kinky vote when it's obvious Barack's got "performance issues"?

Everything's got to be a mystery,...; 12/1/11, 9:01 AM
Christopher in MA said...: I can't be bothered to read anything "written" by that overbearing cow. But it wouldn't surprise me if it finished up with:

"Please forward this on to ten of your friends. Good luck will follow and I'll be proud of you for the first time in my adult life. If you don't forward it, you're a RACIST!"

wv - "begood." Begood to see this national embarrassment kicked into the obscurity she so richly deserves.; 12/1/11, 9:02 AM
Lucius said...: Wow. I was browsing the dictionary before bedtime and changed upon "menage a trois."

For some reason, reading its definition in the dictionary made it seem all of a sudden more possible, more real, more *doable*.

Something, for the first time, I could actually see myself being a part of.

Ann, are you with me? Ann. Ann? . . .; 12/1/11, 9:10 AM
pm317 said...: You know reading that subject line should make you angry -- what do they take your for? A stupid fool (I want to use the 's' word but that would be dangerous)?; 12/1/11, 9:15 AM

The email only proves Barnum correct, there really is one born every minute.

All your loyal commenters just don't want it to be you, Madame.

PS Bet you'll look better in shorts out on the links than Zero or Michelle.; 12/1/11, 10:00 AM

Good point by you, Scott.; 12/1/11, 10:22 AM
Joe Schmoe said...: You don't want any pesky upstarts nipping at your heals with their damned better ideas.

Bagoh, I agree completely. And I've worked at Fortune 1000 companies. They'll be happy to steal your ideas; failing that, they'll grudgingly buy you out. Small businesses are still doing most of the innovative work, especially in high tech. If a big company comes out with a new product or service, there's a 90% chance that they stole it or bought it from entrepreneurs. Big Corp is still the aircraft carrier that can't turn around in the harbor. And higher ed is complicit in the whole deal; curricula are designed around play-it-safe, focus-on-efficiency-type jobs that are suitable to the big corps that recruit on campus.; 12/1/11, 10:27 AM

David said...: Michelle wants a three way? Wowzer!; 12/1/11, 10:59 AM
William said...: I got the email from the Obama Campaign as well. I love the grammar in the first sentence: "I'm excited for the chance to meet you and whoever [sic] you decide to bring to dinner."

I didn't go to Princeton or Harvard Law, but I know that "whoever" is the object of the verb "meet". Therefore, it should be whomever.; 12/1/11, 11:45 AM
Toad Trend said...: Humor.

The DNC must be joking, jokers, joke-tellers.

Speaking of jokes and joke-telling, a piece in 'The Hill' today indicates that Plugs Biden hasn't yet ruled out a run for the WH in 2016.

Bwahahahahahaha!!!; 12/1/11, 12:08 PM
MayBee said...: Michelle wants a three way? Wowzer!

She's looking to be adultered.

(ha ha ha! word verification: trimati another word for a three way?); 12/1/11, 12:25 PM

She does have a creamy hippie chick center.
