The diaphanous diatribes of the Democrat strategists, (now there's an oxymoron), regarding the US's stinginess continues to highlight the vagaries of their vision!

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

In a diaphanous attempt to avoid having to think of a limerick or anagram, I am forwarding this Happy New Year message:

Hey!! Are you calling me alliterate? I'll have you know that I read the newspaper every day and am currently reading two Christmas gift books! I subscribe to several magazines and have been known to read the backs of cereal boxes if nothing else is available.

Alliterate! Well!!!

The Voter Fraud stories in Ohio are diaphanous to anyone with half a brain. Which is probably why the DUmmies are true believers.

[hobbes1]

Bite me.

[xsmommy]

[xsmommy]

A++++ yeah those six jagoffs standing outside of Kerry's house urging him to contest the election are among them....

[xsmommy]

don't go getting your hopes up.

[P.O.E.]

What I wouldn't give to go back into time,
When Guy's band would lead us in "Auld Lang Syne"
The men in tuxedos for a night on the town,
The women arrayed in diaphanous gowns

The ball drops, we laugh, kiss and shed a tear
At the hopeful beginning of a glistening new year
The dance floor would fill with this song - played just right
We all toast "Just the way you look, tonight"

[hobbes1]

I'll just take the time to note that you didnt flat out refuse... ; )

Happy New Years Eve! Good word for commando Friday-

Jesse Jackass was in Ohio
Trying to accelerate the spin
And energize the 'rat party voters
But even he knows they can't win

But at least he gets some camera time
By calling it an unfinished race-
While exposing the diaphanous credence
Of the party's voting base

Not that he cares about anyone-
He plays this all by rote

Even if he makes Ohio look like Florida-
Full of folks too dumb to vote
