So how is that Recovery Summer working out for you, DUmmies? All indications are that the Democrats will LOSE big in November. The prospect of big gains by the EVIL Republicans is so hideous to the DUmmies that they are now fantasizing just the opposite, that the Democrats will be the big winners despite the lousy economy and general disgust with The One. You can see this fantasy for yourself in this DUmmie THREAD, "C'mon DU let's get over it and win both houses with a BIG majority in November." If this fantasy sounds familiar, remember the other DUmmie fantasy in which Al Gore was elected president in the Alternate Universe. In any event, at least half the FUn of this November's election will be to watch the DUmmie reaction...assuming that the site does not crash as it did for several days following the November 2002 election when the Democrats did NOT gain any seats in Congress. So let us now watch the DUmmies fantasize winning big in November in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who came close to being covered in Spaghetti Sauce red this week when he picked up 820 bottles via coupons, is in the [brackets]:
C'mon DU let's get over it and win both houses with a BIG majority in November
[How about if we apply the chloroform-soaked hankie to your nose now so you can wake up on the other side of the November elections? It will be so much less painful that way.]
Like many people I have been frustrated with things not going MY way like single payer healthcare, Gitmo not closing, the extended war in Af. and a slow move out of Iraq etc.
[Don't forget about the economy going even further into the toilet during Recovery Summer.]
However this government HAS made progress and actually has done a lot (although we don't hear about it on television). Many, many things have been passed by Congress to improve the lives of the American. People forget who created the financial crisis and need to be reminded.
[BUSH'S FAULT!!!]
HOWEVER, as long as Democrats left leaning (professional or non professional) or center people splinter and regurgitate RW Newspeak they have to think of the consequences of a huge Republican majority in both houses this fall. Can you imagine what that will mean to this country? None of our agenda will be progressed AT ALL and will be just tossed in a trash can.
[On the plus side, the ensuing mental meltdown in DUmmieland will provide lots of great DUFU comedy material. Now for the fantasies from your fellow DUmmies...]
I did not work hard for a center right prez - but that is what we have. If the Dems want to have majotiry in both houses then perhaps they need to remember who brung 'em and work to pass progressive legislation. Just a thought.
[Getting your excuses lined up already?]
I will donate time and money to candidates who support a progressive agenda. If the Dems lose control of the House or Senate as a result of progressive flight, too bad. Not like they were acting on progressive agendas anyhow. Screw 'em if they can't take a joke!
[So does that mean you won't pick up those artificial cheerleader pom-poms?]
You seem to dismiss the time we had majority of the House, supermajority in the Senate, and the WH. Still... nothing got passed. What more would you expect in the f*cking future?? What we couldn't have is not now in the past.. it is the nature of the party, near as I can tell. Hope pissed on us. I'm going to go wash my clothes, and re-consider what I expect for a vote. Not that it matters... just another peon, literally.
[Hope pissed on you because The One needed someone to "peon."]
nope. I will NOT "hold my nose" and vote dem any longer.
[It would take time away from your keyboard.]
Fending off a GOP majority or even large Republican gains is simply something everyone should be very motivated to work together to stop.
[DUAC! DUAC!]
I love to make Sarah Palin obscure to America, and then maybe put her in jail for some of the things she does and says.
[DUmmie Thought Police fantasizing about criminalizing contrary views.]
I will still get out and vote Democrat myself because returning to Republican rule would be nightmarish.
[You will be FUn to watch on Nov. 3.]
For instance, in South Carolia, I PREDICT Alvin "It's Not Easy Being" Greene will CREAM DeMint!! Indictments, inshmictments!!
“Mmmmm....all that seafood sounds SO good! Too bad I live in the desert!”
I live about 20 miles from the Massachusetts seashore.
I’ll trade houses with you if you like.
Besides fried clams I don’t like seafood and i really don’t like living in Massachusetts either.
LOL! I’m afraid that Massachusetts’ politics would get the best
of me. If I want seafood REALLY bad, Texas has a huge shore
along the Gulf and the oil spill didn’t affect any of it. :D
Thanks for the thought though. LOL!
Actually that was 300 BO sticks which is a sore point with me because I should have had 750 BO sticks. Unfortunately, I opened my big mouth to a friend and gave him a tip on getting those coupons and he glommed them from a couple of my spots. Now you know why I am reluctant to divulge more info than I already am. Converting via barter to stuff I need is easy. BTW, I just had over $2000 worth of bathroom remodeling done free via barter. Our shower pan was leaking so the walls and floor had to be torn out to replace pan. So while replacing pan the rest of the bathroom was redone. It took about 3 months to get it done because my friend had to work around his schedule but it finally got done. Some of the spaghetti sauce bottles went to him, along with BO sticks, fish oil pills, toothpaste, wing dinners, dry cat food, etc..
Absolutely. And 'how' we grew up as well. My family is of German descent both sides so that's where my food tastes come from. An occasional fish fry is alright, but I can't get it served with potato pancakes down here in Illinois (at least where I'm at) so that's a minus right there. I remember that oh so well when I was growing up in Wisconsin.
You write of first memories. Mine are of Christmas & New Year celebrations where my mom would make Sultz, and my uncle would bring Spickganz (goose breast brined for a week, then smoked for another week). We'd sit around the kitchen with black bread & butter, eating both until gone. Mercy!
My gosh. I think I used the same coupons but I stopped at 16. Didn't have room on my shelves for much more than that.
I grew up in the most Jewish neighborhood in the city of Chicago during the '50s and '60s. And so I, a Swedish Lutheran, loves me some Jewish deli food! Lox and cream cheese on a bagel, with red onions and capers--YUM!!
Just yesterday, here in St. Louis, I had an Einstein bagel with their smoked salmon shmear on it. Not quite as good as their bagel with actual lox and cream cheese, onions, and capers, but it was considerably less expensive. Einstein's was running a special on a thin bagel with shmear, plus a coffee, for only about $3.50.
I stockpile my stuff in the stairwell. Usually they are there for no more than a few days since my turnaround time is quick. I never had more than 300 bottles of spaghetti sauce at one time because I traded them off almost as soon as I got them. Thursday, I took 280 down to Miami and while doing so, I had a horrible vision of getting into a crash and then covered with the sauce of all those bottles. Fortunately, it didn’t happen and all went smoothly.
My family lived in the near West side of Chicago and attended First Immanuel Lutheran at Ashland and Roosevelt. When I came along we’d already gravitated to Oak Park, then moved to South East Wisconsin in ‘55.
I love bagels and cream cheese and onion, or buttered and with jam. But I’ll pass on the lox and capers and salmon. But that’s just me...
Psst! With the reusable Eintein’s coupon, you can get a whole box of bagels for half price...just 7 bucks plus shmears. Coupon good until 8-22. But if one is smart, he can score FREE Einstein’s bagels. And on that I am shutting my mouth. I am still irked over getting screwed out of the coupons that would have enabled me to get an extra 400+ BO sticks.
How you can go over to this insane website day after day amazes me. You are a tougher man than I am..... oh wait.... I am not a man, I am an old lady! I guess that is it! I used to go over from time to time to DU but I haven’t been able to put up with the nausea that it causes lately. I guess age is the key, lots of things I can’t do anymore. Keep up the good work Pea Jay! ,:@)
Since yesterday was Friday, I hoped you used the reusable Einstein coupon for a FREE bagel before 11 AM on Fridays. Of course, there is another way to score FREE Einstein bagels but I better keep quiet about that.
I did not even KNOW about any Einstein coupon, much less a reusable one! Is this something that can be printed off the internets or what?
I'm going to be heading down there this fall, maybe we could hook up and do some free gambling!!
The Seminole Hollywood casino used to be a favorite but they have become stingy on their free play. I used to be able to score free play about twice a month but then they changed their policy. The way to go is to buy an entire Las Vegas vacation package(s) including free play. I am now trying to figure out how to use coupons to purchase them. Once I figure that out I just might buy at least a half dozen such packages at a time. Just a matter of research.
About 5 years ago i joined the Players club Comp whatever at Harrahs in Vegas.
Ever since i have yet to pay hardly anything for a room there.
Harrahs owns like 7 hotels in Las Vegas.
Last year i stay 5 nights at the Paris for $0.00.
Last month, because i was in a rush and didn’t schedule properly I endend up having to pay $50 bucks for 4 nights.
It’s the Airfare that kills you.
WTF!?!?!? This DUmmie is so far left he...she...uh...it's going to come up on the other side of the circle to the right of Reagan any day now!
There is a way to get cheap airfare. I met a guy who told me how he flies to Alaska for only around 80 bucks.
PEON - you're going to suck up your snot and continue to vote the same ... don't kid yourself.
Of course, the guy lives in the Yukon Territory. . . .
