Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD:

 

The Democrat fiasco in Minnesota at the Wellstone Memorial has been dissected and commented upon ad infinitum by various and sundry pundits and talking heads, but one of the most touching and felicitous is the piece today by Peggy Noonan. As is her wont, she takes it to the deep gut, personal level, a level upon which all can relate. Here she writes in the voice of Paul Wellstone, from the great beyond.

Let me tell you, when I watched the memorial and how you acted, I wasn't alone. Jack Kennedy was here, and you're not going to like this, but he said what he said the day Nixon had his meltdown in '62. He looked at you and said, "No class."

John Adams is here too. He turned away from you in disgust. "Faction!" is what he said. It was no compliment .

xshub just told me on the way to church this AM that my team is doing quite well and will likely be in the top 20 this week for having beaten the #3 ranked Hokies. he said that they are experiencing an athletic "resurgence" since the bball team is ranked #6 preseason as well.

i understand those perennial losers the Orangeman pulled one out of their butts last night. Did you lose $$ on them???

$5 says the Stillers will beat the Browns....

$5 says the Stillers will beat the Browns....

You are on.

[xsmommy]

i haven't been home, how is my $5 looking???

[Robert A Cook PE]

"how is my 5's looking???"

Personally, I think your five's looked a lot better before they reprinted them at the Treasury,

But your 36's sure are nice. (Still admiring the Lady Godiva costumes worn Thursday night ....)

[xsmommy]

that's ok, dubs sweety, you can keep your $5, i am just feeling smug and happy that i prevailed! it must be a BURGH weekend, what with my alma mater and the Steelers kicking butt!

[hobbes1]

Go Browns beat the Stillers. Hey hobbes, don't worry spring training will be here before you know it.

NO SECOND HALF COLLAPSE TODAY. The Dolts got what the Brownies had comng. (pretty sickening 102 fever and here I am at the ofc.)

[NeoCaveman]

But your 36's sure are nice. (Still admiring the Lady Godiva costumes worn Thursday night ....)<P?Oh I'll gove them a D+, I mean a double D

[NeoCaveman]

Using the stillers as your proxy, for shame.

[hobbes1]

What stillers? I hate them. Just satisfied to see the Dolts, another team I vehemently dislike, along with Snottenhiemer, take a nice one on the chin.

Hey man...11/19. It's Coming......
