He looks like he's feeling pretty sprightly these days. Eye issues all sorted?; 4/14/12, 10:55 PM
Beta Rube said...: I made it into a pic too. But in the background. Dark glasses and a long sleeve shirt with collar gave me away. Who knew?; 4/14/12, 10:55 PM

He goes in two weeks to get it looked at again. His head is still growing, so I think that's what they watching. He doesn't even know he has it, more of a cosmetic thing. But yea that's what I was doing all friggin day, yanking back on that leash.; 4/14/12, 11:09 PM

Ann Althouse said...: I never even put a bumper sticker on my car.; 4/14/12, 11:32 PM

Lem Vibe Bandit said...: The RedSox hit five home runs today..

I should be happy and I Am, but I'm also in the grips of seasonal allergies.

Pollen count is very high here.. and my green friends tell me that what they really care about are these trees.. and when I listen to my green friends that's what I'm hearing.. but guess what? these trees have never given any fruit in their life.

What are they good for? other than stread their seed all over the place.; 4/14/12, 11:57 PM

Penny said...: Ha ha, garage!

Does rh know his dog, Vicki, went down the rabbit hole with Alice?

She must have sneaked the pill that made her smaller.; 4/15/12, 12:26 AM
Penny said...: Course it's also possible that rh only shows us Vicki pics after she swallows the pills that make her larger?; 4/15/12, 12:28 AM
Penny said...: But naw, rh wouldn't make any woman larger now would he?; 4/15/12, 12:29 AM

"I never even put a bumper sticker on my car."

Of course you didn't.

Bumper stickers are like tattoos.

And tattoos are like brands.; 4/15/12, 12:36 AM

A very diverse crowd of all ages, about equal split on the sexes, and even a number of left-leaning groups including a group of lesbians against TARP, some pot toking hippies and lots of seniors. I found it very inspiring to see such different Americans all together in agreement about giving a big tug on the loose leash to their government.

Since then, a lot of propaganda has misrepresented the loose movement, and the desire to tighten and focus the movement into an a quasi-organization has made it less beautiful, but maybe more effective politically, or maybe not. I still consider myself a Tea Party member in the original sense, or even the original-original sense.; 4/15/12, 12:37 AM
Penny said...: Like the kind that cattle get.

And have you ever seen a calf branded with his own name?

Of course not!

Which, frankly, is what you are partial to, Althouse.; 4/15/12, 12:42 AM
Carnifex said...: We can lay the least likely rumor I've heard about the President to rest. It's been confirmed that Barrack Obama follows "Sideboob" on twitter. "Sideboob" apparently posts lictures of celebrities "sideboobs". No gay man would be interested in side boob. It takes someone infantile, and breast fixated, hence, a regular straight guy.

As a disclaimer, I do not tweet, twitter, tweedle, trundle, or any of the like, so had no idea such a thing was possible until reading the news story. I must say that the idea of someone taking sideboob photos of celebs, and then sending them to me on the phone is strangely(and you know I'm gonna say it) titillating.

On a personal note, I used to work on my wife's best friends house because she was a divorcee with no disposable income. She was 5'4" with a 40DD rack, blond, and looked like Reba McEntire. And truthfully, somewhat of a slut. Ultimate milf. Loved to wear tee tops, year round. Epic, side boobage. If I were a less honorable man, I prolly' would have tried something.(I still hit myself for not)

ps. That last was a joke, this isn't. I've been with women I didn't love, and the one I do. When you find that "one" person, everything else is a pale underexposed image. Don't risk loosing that for 5 minutes of masturbation with another person. Not worth it.(and no, she is not reading this over my shoulder.); 4/15/12, 5:37 AM

I took this picture, so I'm not in it. You can see Meade. He's taking a picture of me. Not in shorts!

Heaven forfend!

I thought the lady in yellow looked a little stout to be you, but the two in the foreground, as archetypes, could pass for Mr & Mrs Meadhouse.

PS No need to be defensive, Madame. We'd understand if you cut your dearest a little slack on the shorts thing.

It's what husbands and wives do for each other.

PPS I thought you might be holding the sign for a friend.

Who was taking the picture.; 4/15/12, 6:08 AM

This gets you "Rusty's Theory of Tatoos and Spandex"

There is only about 2% of the population that looks good in either tatoos or Spandex.
The odds are very high that you aren't in that 2%; 4/15/12, 7:51 AM
Toad Trend said...: Our tulips have begun to show themselves, not to be outdone by the early daffodils.

So far the deer have left them alone. But the skunks are out in force digging for grubs. Based on the digging in my lawn, it looks like I'm going to have to apply more grub killer this year.

Thats the thing about tea party folks, there's no 'labels'. The unifying theme doesn't require any.

You are a good man, and my story is parallel with yours regarding the wimmins. I know too many that fell hard, down and out due to a temporary loss of mind over a pigpoke. I think theres a reason the good book refers to desires of the flesh as 'death'.; 4/15/12, 8:00 AM
KCFleming said...: Avoiding bumper stickers, political signs, and t-shirts with words can be a form of preference falsification.

It reduces friction when people aren't commanded to think of some bland slogan.

Coexist? Really?
Why, how original!
It's the answer to all of our problems, in one simple word with pictures instead of letters!
Thank you, you genius with a sticker, for now the world is saved.
Without your sticker, the world would fall into chaos.; 4/15/12, 8:03 AM
Toad Trend said...: Pogo

The folks that like to brandish said stickers, etc., are the 'look at me, I'm a good person' types that you should necessarily be suspicious of.

Think 'agenda'.; 4/15/12, 8:05 AM
MadisonMan said...: So glad it rained last night. The thunder was particularly noteworthy -- hence this sentence.

We have one bumper sticker on our car. It's not on the bumper however.; 4/15/12, 8:27 AM
Ann Althouse said...: "So did you hear Dana Loesch's speech? I didn't know who she was until I saw her video posted on another blog."

Yeah, we heard a lot of speeches. I have a lot of it on video.

They just pretty much all say the same thing. They yell it enthusiastically.

It's not my thing.

I didn't hear one thing that struck me as worth transcribing.

It was a whole get the crowd to yell back kind of thing.

Now, last year, Breitbart was really something special.; 4/15/12, 12:37 PM
