i guess it got too ...chilly... and the other two left. It is hysterical. it is like seeing the people wearing the DON"T BLAME ME I VOTED FOR KERRY tshirts (which i have actually seen worn), you wonder how they can show their faces since that does basically translate to L-O-S-E-R.....

i guess it was chris wallace that had Dino Rossi on last evening, asking if he would STILL be asking for a revote if he had won this last vote, since the process was allegedly so rife with corruption, do-overs etc. Dino was too nice, he said that he wouldn't want to be governor under a cloud of suspicion. but he did say that the most RECENT Vote had been said all along to be LESS trustworthy than the first two which are machine counts.

What? They let the Whyisa into a university? And I thought they showed a deplorable lack of discrimination when they let ME into one...

If all the coeds at Texas Tech were laid end to end

it wouldn't surprise me in the least.


(Thanks Dorothy Parker)


WHAT?!? We just finished "celebrating" Christmas and now we have to "celebrate" New Year's?? It sounds like a plot by Satan to me. I wish to hell God would do something about goddam Satan. However I don't see why we should celebrate being a year closer to Heil Hillary.

I'm wearing my non-diaphonous pj's at the moment but will put on equally opaque underwear later when I go out for fish and chips and beer and cigarettes.

You're going shopping in your underwear? Won't you be rather chilly?

Martha Stewart just can't win. By the way, what the heck ever happened to breaking rocks with sledgehammers all the live long day in prison? Christmas decorations, forsooth!

Even my dips*** neighbor took the sKerry sticker off the bumper of her Tahoe, and she is not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer...

What is with pilots flying into Cleveland getting hit in the eye with diaphenous beams of light?

Only slightly, we Canadians have skin almost as thick as our skulls. HAR HAR, Tex, I will be wearing regular clothing over my undiaphonous undies in order that the carabinieri, the gendarmerie, the local gestapo, the constabulary, the fuzz, cops and po-leece AND the R.C.M.P. do not compel me to celebrate New Year's (which I won't be celebrating) with the lice, cockaroaches, drunks and disorderlies in the hoosegow.

maybe so. i never saw her show, and maybe it is bc i know so little about her that i have no ill feelings. but if i were Martha Stewart, in the slam, and there was such a competition, i would not want to win it. i would feel stupid even competing. everyone will expect you to win and those that hate you will vote against you no matter what. we have no idea how lame the nativity scene that was so small and homey looked like either.
