and from my smokebox buddy!
why aren’t they EMBARRASSED that they were stupid enough to be taken in when the rest of us weren’t. It’s as if someone gave them permission, all of a sudden, to be disillusioned with him.
is that Djou the new Hawaiian republican rep? OMG the look on her face should be slapped off of it. it’s as if she resents having to swear him in! and yes, she looks positively unkempt in that hideousity.
Main Entry: Brob·ding·nag·ian Pronunciation: \ˌbräb-diŋ-ˈna-gē-ən, -dig-ˈna-\ Function: adjective Etymology: Brobdingnag, imaginary land of giants in Gulliver's Travels, by Jonathan Swift Date: 1728 : marked by tremendous size — Brobdingnagian noun
clever homework! did you see it when you were over there?
Indeed. They had some first editions of “A Modest Proposal” and “Gulliver’s Travels” on display as well.
I know, it’s downright comical.
You should see how quiet things are on the BarryO thread at TGG.COM...
The BushBashingBarryOCheerleaders over there barely come around, and when they do they try to stick to policy....
On another Note, the GuvILuv was on PBS last night taking calls and was AMAZING...Not just in the manner that he speaks Zero B.S., but his overall grasp of every and any issue, and ability to communicate it ON THE SPOT, is imho, unparalleled by any current officeholder.
you got to see it? how cool. great story teller.
Yes, in 2007 when I visited Dublin. I spent about an hour and a half in the Cathedral. Swift was the Dean there.
the guv I luv? I missed a tv appearance? dang.
very cool! what’s news from London these days? and Russia too, for that matter?
he is TO LOVE that’s for damn sure! every chubby ounce of him! LOL! i hope he will go far!
Actually the Prof is up in the Midlands, they only visited London. Her class went to York to see a play, and Monday are traveling to Stratford-on-Avon to see “Romeo and Juliet” at the Shakespeare playhouse in his birth town.
Good weather in Russia continues. St. Petersburg trip is this weekend, so I might get pics after.
they just showed him with that teacher on Fox.....luvTHEguv!
i’ve seen the clip. i wonder if any conservatives have found that teacher and humiliated her with her duplicity over her salary?
colleen’s dad is over there, as well as her older sister and the sister’s fiance and he has “rented a castle” for them for a week. i am imagining that it’s similar to going to somewhere like the Greenbriar, where there are other guests and organized activities and meals served in a bucolic setting. She will be coming home next week, so we will hear all about it.
reminds me of my mom and her sister...they lived across the street from each other while I was growing up. there was a pain in the butt neighbor near us who got a speeding ticket....the two of them and my cousin drew a $100 dollar bill, which was his fine, and put wings on it like it was flying....wiped off their finger prints and mailed it out to him.......they giggled like school girls....her neighbors should make up a phony pay check with her real salary, add it to a newspaper clip of her comments and mail them to her. it would be fitting. she is a joke.
I would think other teachers would. Now you have every person in NJ looking up teachers salaries.
Check this out.
