Quark: We'd have to work in pairs, because the mirror thing could get awkward and would be too slow:-)
I happen to have had a can of soda recently that had only about 3 oz. of liquid in it. No frog, though.
And Quark, you can do bold. Just put a b between angle brackets to start it and /b between angle brackets to end it.
Loretta,
What a picture that evokes! I love it!
DDay,
Are you trying to tell us something?
If Obama doesn't fight for a public option we can go in mass to light our farts on the steps of the Whitehouse.
Maybe we could photocopy corporate logos on pressure-sensitive paper and send those to "corporate congressmen." (Just explain that they need to attach them to their lapels.)
No Quark,
Women mature and eventually get old. We never do. Take my wife...please.
Hey Thom,
I do a lot of machine embroidery with my clothing/textile designs. I should embroider corporate patches and send them to the congressmen representing those corporations.
On second thought, that would be WAY too many patches!
Truth hurts sometimes. You obviously understand and agree DRichards. You are a smart and honest 14 yr old.
DDay,
Re: All men are 14 years old.
I really AM laughing out loud! (But aren't we all children at heart?)
DDay,
I resemble that remark!
DDay,
I hope our paths cross, too. BTW, my son told me all about lighting farts years ago! (My reaction remains the same --- this kind of stuff just doesn't occur to girls --- at least not the girls I know/knew! LOL)
All men are 14 years old.
Well, Thom, your "full Monty" story goes a long way to explain the perverse contractor behavior in Iraq and Afghanistan: they're 14-year-olds! Video:

Quark, Anytime my sweet little sub-atomic particle. Someday I'd like to buy you a drink. Bubble tea or something more to your liking. Hopefully someday our paths will cross. By the way I have been a member of the royal order of the blue flame since around 1969. I got a merit badge in fart lighting at Boy Scout Camp. Thom lived a sheltered life in Michigan.
About corporate personhood, could we not just pass a law defining what a legal person is in the country? Since there is no place in the constitution that actually defines what a person is, could not a simple law redefine this?

Obama is a corporatist and as such will always put big business interests before that of the people and even before the health of the people.
If we want universal healthcare we'll have to stop doing business with the health insurance industry.

DDay,
Thanks.
Rather than despair, I get mad. If I can't gain access thru the front door I start checking for open windows. It helps to know that there are good people of good heart who share values and a vision which are worthy of fighting for. Never give up. Never!
B Roll,
'Sorry, I'm not going to engage. I'm not interested enough in these aspects of this subject right now.
God bless anyone who works to help others.

Indoctrination Alert: Gingrich to destroy History:

Runs over folk without responsibility, accepts bribes, actively enacts nepotism, violates the Hatch Act prohibitions and refuses to answer Congress under oath . . . Chris Christie sounds like the PERFECT New Jersey Governor!!!

Thanks Thom, I've been crying all morning, along with many I imagine, and the straw pole is sure helping! The news reports have made us feel this way and we really don't know. I hope that the news reports are part of a brilliant chess game.
Oh yeah . . . What will I do . . . I will wait for him (and every pro-corporatist politician I can find) in the TALL-TALL grass and UNELECT them all.
SELL-OUT
To quote DDay from an earlier post today
"It has been reported by David Gregory and also Chuck Todd, yesterday, that Pres. Obama will tell his left base to man-up and be good soldiers accepting whatever we get. It was also reported that the White House isn’t too worried about the left because “they will come back, where else will they go?”"
