Canadian mayor to pose nude? What next?

[xsmommy]

let's hope Hillary doesn't run short of funds and get any ideas....

[hobbes1]

Nope. She is waiting for 2008. Right around the middle of October, she will push him in front of a Bus.

[xsmommy]

so she won't pose nude, you are saying?

[hobbes1]

YEs, in OUT magazine.

[xsmommy]

i am not familiar with your fave periodicals i guess.

[NeoCaveman]

Yeeks.

Well on a brighter note instead of volunteering for the mega rally in Lake County, I will be going to a morning one in Brecksville, it is a much smaller venue.

[xsmommy]

i want you to score an administration job for all of this work, dubs!

Looks like Susan Estrogen is positing some new lies and rumors for democrats to spread about W in their support of kerry between now and November 2.

Susan Estrich going Nuclear

[VRWCmember]

Well, if I talk about football you go apesh*t - .....

Hey did you see that my Horned Frogs nearly blew a big lead against Northwestern last night. Final - TCU wins 38-35 in overtime.

And the Aggies lost big to Utah 41-21.

[NeoCaveman]

Susan Estrich going Nuclear

the hag just appeared on FOX, she gave a speech at the state fair, she is leaving now to go to him in NYC....she needs her hair done desperately, brown, blonde and some grey....looked dirty......and she had a strange smile for such a solemn occasion. said he just went to the er yesterday, got clean ok, went for more tests today that showed blockage, told to get bypass surgery as soon as possible, will happen today.

[hobbes1]

Well, she should be. However, as for us well....One of Americas greatest writers said it best...

There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning....

And that, I think, was the handle --- that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil.

Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail.

There was no point in fighting --- on our side or theirs.

We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave...

HST.

[secret garden]

I didn't know Harry surfed.

[secret garden]

I really wish I could dig up some empathy for him. Did anyone else find it interesting that he had chest pains last night? Hmm, wonder what he was watching on TV.

[NeoCaveman]

We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave...

Didn't they try to ride the wave when they had all the momentum last time (2000)????

[secret garden]

Dubs, you sound like you could use a pick-me-up. Here you go:

How to start each day with a positive outlook:

1-Open a new File in your PC

2-Name it "John Kerry"

3-Send it to the trash

4-Empty the trash

5-Your PC will ask you: "Do you really want to get rid of John Kerry?"

6-Answer calmly "yes" and press the mouse button firmly

There now...feel better?......

[NeoCaveman]

Great idea :-)

Thanks

[NeoCaveman]

Dubs, you sound like you could use a pick-me-up. Here you go:

I'm just saying this time there will be no prevent defense, this time we run up the score, just like Kansas State football.
