bleh said...: So informal. A stranger should not say "hey" to a person unless he's warning him of a danger or instigating a negative encounter.

Completely unrelated thought: can someone with a good memory compare Obama's campaign involvement in 2016 to Bush's in 2008, Clinton's in 2000, and Reagan's in 1988? He seems to be way more active than any of his predecessors. Don't lame duck presidents usually try to be "above it all" and statesmanlike? The only one I remember is Bush, who did endorse McCain but never spent much time campaigning for him or criticizing Sen. Obama.; 7/24/16, 9:00 AM

Whole lotta Hey in Wisconsin.; 7/24/16, 9:03 AM
David Begley said...: I read in 2012 the emails with "hey" in the subject line generated the most money for Obama.; 7/24/16, 9:05 AM

Interesting. When my friend from GA (who literally used to say teeeen for ten) said that in emails, I thought it was condescending. Now I know better.; 7/24/16, 9:11 AM

Eric the Fruit Bat said...: Took the dog for a walk this morning at the county park.

Saw my first pack of Pokémon Go players. Males in their twenties. Pale. Obese. Baggy T-shirts and shorts made them look like over-sized toddlers.

After trotting around for a bit, fixated on their little devices, squealing with excitement back and forth to one another, they all piled into two little cars, one of those cars having a giant Superman emblem on the hood. From then on, I saw them periodically. They were driving around the park, slowly, over and over again, fixated on their little devices.

My opinion of them was rather derogatory, I'm sorry to say.

The best I could do was to liken them to the mimes in Blow-Up., but that didn't work either. A failure on my part.; 7/24/16, 9:14 AM

Laslo Spatula said...: Hey.

Baby, please don't delete this. Remember the good times we had in the Democratic Party? It can be like that again, I swear.
Things got a little crazy with Bernie and his friends but it's all good now, it's cool...

Remember how good it felt, electing Obama? We can have that feeling again, with Hillary. Wait, baby --don't stop reading, please don't stop....

I miss you, baby. Let me make it up to you, I swear it'll be good again. I know I made some mistakes, but I've learned from them, you'll see, if you just give me another chance...

You know where to find me, baby. I'll be waiting....

I am Laslo.; 7/24/16, 9:29 AM
Wince said...: "Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes."

Love never made a fool of you, you used to be too wise
Hey there, you on that high-flyin' cloud
Though he won't throw a crumb to you, you think some day he'll come to you

Better forget him, him with his nose in the air
He has you dancin' on a string, break it and he won't care; 7/24/16, 9:41 AM
YoungHegelian said...: The "hey" subject matter line is just the Clintinites copying what the Obamaites found out to be the most opened email by subject line:

The first step for the Obama campaign was to grab your attention long enough to get you to open the email. So, they got casual. "The subject lines that worked best were things you might see in your in-box from other people," Toby Fallsgraff, the campaign's email director, told Green. "'Hey' was probably the best one we had over the duration."

The Obamaites themselves were as astonished as everyone else as to what this marketing information said about the mental caliber of their supporters.; 7/24/16, 9:42 AM

Captain Drano said...: YH @ 9:42, precisely.

And Clinton and Kaine look like two of biggest dweebs ever, it's almost embarrassing. I hope they keep up their fist bumps and slangy language, it heightens their dweebiness, and underscores their shameless pandering.; 7/24/16, 10:48 AM
Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: Tammany Shiloh the DINO loves Kaine because of his lifetime in government. A guy who couldn't get a job in the private sector - (just like Shiloh when his daddy threw him out of the house). He even worked with missionaries - and probably had a vow of poverty too! What a drag on the private sector! This is exactly the kind of candidate that the conservative voters (whom Tammany Shiloh the DINO knows all too well), LOVE.

But Hillary balances the "private sector experience" of the ticket with her extensive experience getting foreign governments to donate to her very economically active "foundation," and setting the stage for bribes galore. This makes Shiloh happy because it is how he perceives important private sector experience and economically fruitful business acumen. If you can set up a front for infiltrating the government with a permanent and massive lobbying/bribing operation, then you obviously have what it takes to ethically run the government - or so he tells me.; 7/24/16, 11:08 AM

walter said...: Friend --

Hillary and I have been married for over 40 years. Seeing her work up close is truly incredible -- she's committed to the task at hand, she's always keeping the people she’s fighting for at the very front of her mind, and she's one of the warmest people you could ever meet.

I realize not everybody gets to see the Hillary that we know, and that’s where you and I come in. The people who love Hillary have got to do what we can to make sure everyone knows what she’s about.

Take that volunteer shift, talk to your friends, and chip in what you can, when you can. Because there are a lot of people to reach, and we have to do it fast.

Will you start now? Will you donate to help build this team a little bigger and get your official Team Hillary sticker?; 7/24/16, 1:45 PM
walter said...: "Hil? Is that good enough? Can I go now?"; 7/24/16, 1:46 PM
rehajm said...: I think he's coming on to you.

I posted a few days ago the challenge the Democrats face this time around because there isn't a candidate women want to blow.

Guess they found somebody they for the role.; 7/24/16, 1:53 PM
mikee said...: I have only seen Hillary from far away.
I can assure you I have no desire to see Hillary or her works up close.
I once had my head unceremoniously stuffed inside Richard Nixon's suit jacket and into his sweaty armpit.
