In Indiana, Dick Lugar’s sudorific
‘cause the Tea Party’s Mourdock is terrific
“Cast me out?” Lugar cries
What have I done to you guys?”
You’re not conservative enough, to be specific

They probably can disgust you even more! i am so depressed about the Caps devastating loss last night and i had the conservative paralegal in here commiserating with me over the election stuff just now. She is going up to Pittsburgh for Memorial Day and is going to talk to each of her relatives to get them on board. Her brother is a GUN NUT so she is going to work that angle with him, telling him sure as shooting,Obams will be gun grabbing in a second term, etc. They hate Obama but say they can’t vote for Romney, so she has to motivate them to pull that R lever.

Oh, yes she did. In the first campaign. I’ve forgotten the question she was answering, but the image was disgusting and TMI.

Well the EU/USD just broke below $1.30, let the asset puking commence. There is no safe haven. None.

Though I’m thinking of going short.

I had to retire early last night, so missed all the “excitement.” It seemed reminiscent of what happened TO the Rangers five years ago in Buffalo when Drury scored the very late in Game 5 for the Sabres to tie, then BUF won it in OT on an early power play goal. The numbed Rangers then lost the series in the sixth game at home. It should be interesting to see how the Caps respond tomorrow night.

I noted too that Phoenix clinched their series at home in 5 vs Nashville. Sorry to see the Preds out so soon — I’m not enamored with a “Southwest” final series... I was pulling for Paul Gaustad to go far in the playoffs this year, but I guess that’s what happens to a team when you deal with the Sabres ;-)

yes it is exactly like what happened to the Rangers themselves in that series. maybe the Caps will have more grit, i don’t know. no one expected them to get this far, that’s for darn sure. least of all me. believe me, seeing OV et al. diving to block shots has Caps fans sitting back on their heels.

I like the “8.7% alcohol.” That’s a nice touch.

I am really sorry. I hope that no one is second guessing Barry’s decision to sit the miscreants. He is also a class act and deserves credit for not compromising his principles.
