Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

Everyone is looking for someone to objurgate for the high gas prices.

Sneak attack opening?

[xsmommy]

The Slacker, i mean the SOOTHER, asked me to post in his stead today, since he is en route to the Burgh from the Chile.

[xsmommy]

do you feel snuck up upon??? ; )

[xsmommy]

need any ironing done?

[Gabz]

Morning.

[NeoCaveman]

Second.

Maybe Third.

[xsmommy]

you are a seer.

[VRWCmember]

Everyone is looking for someone to objurgate for the high gas prices.

Seems to me you don't have to look very far:

Note: the graph is a few weeks out of date since it only shows the rise up to $3.56 per gallon rather than $4.00.

[NeoCaveman]

Oh look a coquette sandwich.

[VRWCmember]

another outdated chart (from February) that shows the democrat energy policy trends and their impact on gas prices.

[tioga]

4 !!!

[xsmommy]

my eyes are glazing over at your charts, i believe you, i believe you!

[Gabz]

and I just had breakfast.............

[NeoCaveman]

The Pelosi premium is breaking my bank.

[tioga]

If McCain can pin this on the dems and frame the election around it he will win.

[VRWCmember]

That would be his best strategy: Pin the dems on the disaster that would result from their policies — both in the middle east and in terms of our domestic energy prices. And he has the two-year experiment of Pelosi-Reid control of congress as a working laboratory to point to as evidence of the utter failure of their policies.

[MortMan]

Barack he speak, to obfuscate,
Hussein he tax, to confiscate,
“No muzzy”, claims he,
“I believe Trinity”,
And no whiteys have rights to objurgate!

[xsmommy]

OMG did you see THIS? 29% of the sheeple agree with nationalizing the oil industry? do we live in freakin' VENEZUELA now????

[xsmommy]

A+++ good one!

[NeoCaveman]

Now if only the governor of Alaska could get McCain’s mind right on ANWR and energy in general he could win this thing.

I mean who would have more absolute moral authority on the subject than the governor of Alaska?

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

The Mets needed someone to objurgate
So poor Willie Randolph has met his fate
His team is a riddle
They’re stuck in the middle
Now fans must look elsewhere to vent their hate

[NeoCaveman]

do we live in freakin' VENEZUELA now????

John Freaking Kerry got 48% of the vote and over 60 million votes in 2004; does that answer your question?

[tioga]

People are POed about the price of gas, Americans can unite on this issue like no other. Foreign policy matters to Republicans, the price of gas to everyone. McCain in touting off shore drilling, he should add in Alaska. It’s a winning issue.

[xsmommy]

A+++ honestly, who watches baseball any more...? ; ) /tiger woods aka snot

[xsmommy]

well people ARE stupid, but are they ready to be SOCIALISTS?

[VRWCmember]

Is that a python in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

[NeoCaveman]

Err, Vast, she’s supposed to say that...

[xsmommy]

Good grief!! Chief Judge of the 9th Circuit, Alex Kozinski,found with porn on his computer last week, is defended by his wife MARCY TIFANY Does that sound like a STRIPPER's NAME OR WHAT!!!

[NeoCaveman]

Demonic libs plan to objurate Bobby Jindal for being at an exorcism back in the day.

To me, this just means he has more experience dealing with Democrats than most...

interesting, Jindal left the Hindu religion for Christianity, specifically Catholicism.....AND he believes in the existence of evil - big news here, stop the presses -- he's one of US!

[mikrofon]

From the recent USSC judgment on habeas corpus for terrorists (which even McCain vilified), to his demeanor towards America's enemies and his general behavior, "Mr. Cool's" seeming inability to objurgate against anything even has the NY Slimes wondering...

[Whiplash]

mon professuer, I believe the assignment was for a sentence.
I see one original posted sentence and two limiericks, the rest are assorted slams and degradations of assorted people in the news or posters on your thread. Who does one objurate? The class or the professor ;-s

[xsmommy]

i sense a thread nanny in the house!!! ; ) and we don't oburgate thread nannies, we whip them with a switch!

this thread with these particular students have been in operation since 2001, we enjoy word usage and each others company. please feel free to join in.

[xsmommy]

A++ Dems don’t believe in the devil bc he is THEM!

[xsmommy]

A++ you know he will eventually blow a vein and it will be over. they have him on some meds, you just know it!

[xsmommy]

thanks to Ceej, i have had to make a trip to Michaels this AM to buy the exact ingredients for the Gryffindor friendship bracelet... : ) xsbrownie is on her first week of summer vaca and was needing a craft project. we also bought a rug hooking kit. not sure she will stick with that, but i recall my 8th grade art teacher, who was a drunk, having us create a design for, and then actually put it on the rug hooking canvas, buy and cut the yarn and hook the rug. it was quite a masterpiece if i say so myself and adorned my teenaged room for awhile. so i would think xsbrownie up to the task of a kitted rug hooking project.

[CholeraJoe]

I figgered she could use something to keep her busy this summer. Why did you link to a picture of child abuse? Did you mean to link this?

[xsmommy]

yeah! too much linking going on around heah!

[xsmommy]

she is going to be a counselor in training at Army Navy CC starting next week, she can maybe even use this a rainy day craft idea for the kids there.

[xsmommy]

i have at least four teenaged boy carcasses downstairs of my house right now. wonder if/when they will rise up.

[CholeraJoe]

Other than having been one back during the Johnson administration, I have very little experience with teenaged boys.

[NeoCaveman]

I miss Mister Spanky. I think SG put out a hit on him.

[xsmommy]

if left to their own devices, they drink pepsi like it’s going out of style and eat massive quantities of food, stay up late playing video games and then sleep til early aft. that’s pretty much all there is to know. oh they also watch sports on tv. this particular group likes to golf too.

[xsmommy]

T5 loved him, as did i. he is ‘sorely’ missed. ; )

[CholeraJoe]

Sounds alot like teenaged girls except for the sports part. In my house it was “I Love Lucy” reruns and Harry Potter videos.

[xsmommy]

oh great, two more of them just showed up here! at least they can wake the rest of them down there.

[NeoCaveman]

T5 loved him, as did i. he is ‘sorely’ missed. ; )

I can see he left a mark ;)

[CholeraJoe]

Better start laying out sandwich fixings and chips. They’ll be hungry.
