The Guild 9-16-2004 Vote for me or the bear gets it...

Posted on 09/16/2004 4:46:17 AM PDT by BigWaveBetty

Kerry gets tough...

Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) threatens the crowd that if they don't vote for him, he'll knock the stuffing outta the bear at a rally in Madison, Wisconsin September 15, 2004. Kerry blasted President Bush (news - web sites)'s 'excuse presidency' and demanded that he take responsibility for the economy instead of playing victim. Photo by Brian Snyder/Reuters

Oh no m! I thought you were at GWB rallies or sumpthin'! That dern Ivan just won't stop making trouble for everyone. I haven't seen any weather this morning, hope he's gone... gone... GONE! Be careful!

Oh peee-uke! Ricky Holbrook is on Face the Nation telling us how GWB isn't listening to his generals and blah blah blah.

Just going to ignore that Blather thingy I guess?

All of a sudden the NIE's are the truth of all truth. Iraq is a quagmire! Iraq will fall into civil war! That's funny because when the NIE came out the said Saddam WAS trying to procure yellow cake from Niger, well, we weren't supposed to believe that!

Let me add, Chuck Hagel is a pain the bazoo. I wish he'd keep his stupid opinions to himself.

Have you heard the theory that Ivan is leaving the Atlantic coast in such a way that he could get pushed south again, enter the Gulf again, and re-constitute into a hurricane...again?!!!

That's too depressing to even contemplate.

NO! I hadn't.

Allawi on This Week... Snuffleupaguss just asked him about the NIE reports, had he read them. He said he had seen them in the news but did not read them. Snuffy was incredulous, "Why not?!" Because they're not true Allawi told Snuffy, it's all negative and then went on to explain why he doesn't believe all the negative "could be's".

2:01 p.m. Stewart Cink vs. Paul McGinley
McGinley closed out Team USA in 2002 by halving his singles match with Furyk. He's played well this week, but he may not need to. Team Europe's large lead means that Team USA needs a miracle to get to this match without having lost three points over the previous 11 pairings. But if it does come down to Cink needing to win for his team, he's as good a choice as any. He's the only member of Team USA to win a PGA Tour event since May, having won last week's Canadian Open. If Team USA is still afloat, Cink could the man that fulfills Sutton's desire to make history. PGA

Just talked to Verizon - we may not have phone service until Wednesday night. Oh well, at least for today we can watch Ryder Cup on TV.

I've been wondering about you, glad you're ok. Hubby had me worried Friday, he's working on a project that was in one of communities under mandatory evacuation. Fortunately, he left early.

It appears we're not supposed to get any more rain this week, I hope so.

Yes, we have a great DRY forecast for the next several days. I hope things dry out quickly. I'm thankful we're not closer to the Ohio River - Weirton, Wellsburg and Wheeling are having a terrible time of it, as are many places in Ohio. I think only the flood of 1936 was worse than this one.

Some of my family from Pgh are headed to the Outer Banks later today, and it looks like they'll manage to get through the week at the beach without another hurricane showing up, I'm glad to see from weather.com! Glad you all are safe - my b-i-l spent Fri. night in Indiana Co. at their farm because he and my sister didn't think he could make it back to Pgh., but he made it back alright by Sat. afternoon.

I think I'll head back home now from Mr. M's office. Perhaps the townsfolk have a cleanup project going in which I might participate. Our community park was wiped out, so there's one place we can start!

Here's hoping the rest of the team carries it well enough for Stewart. If he's still playing thru 18 holes that will be good news indeed!

President Bush just finished up his visit to P'cola/Gulf Shores area. Very emotional.

Now. Would it be cool or what if, instead of going back to DC as announced, he flew to Detroit to cheer on the U.S. team!!! It would be just like him to do it...please!!!

A wonderful idea!

So many lost everything, really horrible.

If most of the Alabama officials are anything like Alabama's Homeland Security Director Jim Walker, y'all are in good hands. I listened to an intereview with Walker a few weeks ago and he was impressive. Here's a website that might help you or a friend with the mess Ivan caused.

Pics for mountaineer.

heh heh heh!

From the I've got a bridge to sell you file...

Far from the world's prying eyes, a devoted and tender Hillary Clinton rarely left her husband Bill's side before, during and after his heart surgery.
She held his hand, stroked his face and whispered lovingly into his ear. She listened with concern to every medical discussion about what he would be facing.

"It was obvious they had a very deep affection for one another," said Dr. Allan Stewart, a member of the three-person cardiac surgical dream team headed by Dr. Craig Smith.

"She would whisper things that only he could hear. She didn't leave his side. She held his hand. It was very moving to see."

Another staffer who observed them during the hospital ordeal noted: "He was happier and more at ease when she was next to him."

The twins are still on the campaign trail, doing a college tour. A couple of articles about them, one kinda snotty and the other absolutely hostile...

Fair Article about the Twins on the Trail

"As they left the building on their way to another campaign event in Milwaukee, Jenna and Barbara ran into a group of about 40 student protesters, who were positioned near their motorcade. One girl held a sign that said DRAFT JENNA, while another held a sign that read SEND THE BUSH TWINS TO IRAQ.

" A male student on his way to class read the signs and paused. “No way,” he yelled. “Don’t send them to Iraq. Send them to my room!”

Here is a brutal article...the writer does not like celebrity sisters at all...she is sorta mean to the Kerry gals too..TWO IN THE BUSH

"The Bush twins, our American first daughters, one blond, one mousy-haired, one U. Texas, one Yale, showed up at the Republican National Convention in all their sisterly glory, intending to inspire American boys and girls with their flirty, vapid charms, and woo Ma and Pa with a Parent Trap–style sweetness. "

"The Kerrys had the same basic setup: One blonde, one brunette, one campaigning dad they wanted to support. Trying desperately to rock the vote, they barely made it past easy-listening. The dutiful daughters, couture-clad and poli-sci-major serious, got vociferously booed, just like their dad at Fenway Park last July. Their faces betrayed not only pain and embarrassment, but indignation. One of them tried to shush the crowd. The Kerry sisters are proof that celebrity sisterhood takes some strategy. Giggles à deux trip the applause meter, while two girls bearing a message in stereophonic schoolmarm style won’t fare as well in the public eye."

This author is one angry lesbian (guessing on the lesbian part)...

Watching Alexandra and Vanessa eat it was a twofer pity party. In an "It" obsessed era, their presentation made the viewer painfully aware that these two are utterly "It"-less. The Kerry’s vibe is akin to Tracy Flick crossed with a Bennington girl who sulks in the corner at a party, plucking hairs out of her head one by one. No matter how many times Alexandra shows off her fried eggs through draped black chiffon at Cannes, that dour, long-faced New England reserve queers the air. The Heinz-Kerrys are just not a bunch that screams "get on board."

MEOW.
