traditionalguy said...: Oh no. Does the long view mean that the Labs are starting over on the other side and swimming all of the way?

That would make the Navy Seal dogs.; 7/24/12, 11:49 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: Mustard seeds from a tin. Same kind of tin that mustard powder comes in. Next to each other on the store's shelf. So probably somewhat old seeds. I'm thinking. Maybe not.

Germinated in a day and a half and grew the first leaves on the third day.

OMG wv is neatMa, and yes, Ma it is.; 7/25/12, 12:09 AM
David said...: "This is very simple: if you do not want America to be the strongest nation on earth, I am not your President. You have that President today."

Carnifex said...: Romney starting to knock it out of the park. He's a better campaigner than I gave him credit for. Wish he were a better candidate. (maybe it's his team, regardless)

I am always envious of the beauty surrounding Madison. Here the river is always muddy, and the summer days sticky.

Just wish I was better so I could go froggin' or fishin'. They brought my grandson up to see me today. First visit since I had my surgery. He got to meet MY side of the family for the first time too.

And that's why we do what we do. For our kids, and grandkids.; 7/25/12, 1:11 AM
Guildofcannonballs said...: How many miles, from the Chicago, where murder murders, unlike in other areas of the United States of America, are you?

William F. Buckley, and I, for one, am proud to say, Gov. Romney, are not messing around.

This time, I doubt Mitt is messing around.; 7/25/12, 1:25 AM
Guildofcannonballs said...: After Don Rickles took, up his fat, fat ass, any black or Jew cock he thought might help his career, and all those that might help his shit go faster to the rear, he still was no Buckley.

Rich, fat, old, consequential: Most likley never me so fuck you.

Not you Don Rickles, but your asshole, won.

So there's that.; 7/25/12, 1:35 AM
Guildofcannonballs said...: I am anti-semitic, if fat fuck D. Rickles is a Jew.

If not, I am sorry to all Jews.

But the fat, corrupt, killer-without-morals-Don-Rickles can die quickly and soon.

Decent folk are done.; 7/25/12, 2:00 AM
Guildofcannonballs said...: You see Don Rickles, ugly, tried to take down all around him, and he spent most of his time in American, and so Don Rickles sucks cock elderly without skill.

A horrible man overly celebrated, he is better than me in almost every way and so again Fuck You You Old Fat Liberal Don ri kles.; 7/25/12, 2:05 AM
Toad Trend said...: Romney's statement during his foreign policy speech shared by David 'advertently' points out Teh Won's comfort with 'presiding' over an increasingly slacker America.

Slackers, being the easier to please compared to independent go-getters, are what I call the 'new settlers'.

Scraps. And vapid, truth-devoid promises. This is what many Americans accept. The fact that we have such an empty suit representing us is proof.

Slouching badly, I am afraid. Just look at the increasing applications for 'disability'. I think our government is fine with a populace of John Galts.; 7/25/12, 6:15 AM
edutcher said...: Beautiful pic, Madame. The voyageurs would have loved such a sight.

PS As I've said, I think the Romster's people wanted to see what Choom was going to try, let him shoot his bolt, and then give him everything they'd already planned on.

The "You didn't build that" nonsense, which has cost Choomie valuable time and money to defend, was just a gift. Expect more as we approach November.

KCFleming said...: Two of my Medicare patients went on a lengthy rant about Obama a few days ago.

The husband mentioned he was going to "get his knee done" even though he had previously wanted to wait, because he was convinced that it would soon be disallowed for folks his age.

Then the 20 minute rant, from hubbie and wife. Hooooweee.

They had never before spoken a word about politics in the 6 years I've known them. Man were they pissed.

Now, I doubt they voted for him in the first place, but them oldsters network like crazy. And they sound really really mad.

Oh, he's in his mid-70s and still working. The gummint ads telling people to get on food stamps fueled part of their rage.

Bob Ellison said...: That's a beautiful picture. Gotta love the duck in the lower left corner, just being all "I'm in the foreground".; 7/25/12, 7:11 AM
Bob Ellison said...: It's cicada-killer wasp season around here. We seem to have the perfect sunny hillside for them. They're about the size of F-16s, but once you learn to ignore them, they just fly away and, we hope, kill some of the screaming cicadas about. They do it in gruesome fashion, putting the carcass in the ground for the new wasplets to eat after mommy is dead.; 7/25/12, 7:44 AM
Christy said...: Did you all see that the Aurora monster started buying up his arsenal after he failed an exam? I had already started to wonder if he was really as brilliant as claimed or if he was simply the best among a poor field in undergrad college. When he met up with actual performance expectations in hard science in grad school, did his ego collapse taking his superego with it?; 7/25/12, 10:02 AM
