"Ah still am the most popular president, black president that is..."

SPEW! You owe me a keyboard.

Susan Estrich has taken her first shots at Tuesday's results, including this remark:

"2008 candidates John Edwards and Hillary Clinton, for starters, are stronger than this year's."

What the heck?! John Edwards will STILL be a (former) one-term senator with no national security experience. And Hillary is a...well...a Northeast senator with no record.

Delusions are hard things to overcome.

I'm torn about posting this picture of Karl Rove thinking it might be too vulgar. But it sums up my feelings toward the barrage of lies and insults our side had to endure for two long years. I won't be offended if someone clicks the abuse button to have it deleted, but here goes...

Hey Effin' and Etwards and all your little flying monkey minions, take this!

[BigWaveBetty]

Sorry! Check's in the mail... Guess I shoulda given you a warning at least. *hanging head in shame*

Befor I forget, some dims interviewing on local radio attributed GWB's win in FL to his numerous visits to the state after each hurricane and passing out ice and water.

It's almost sad, I almost feel sorry for them, NOT! haahahahahahaha!!

Here's my DREAM headline in Sunday's NY Times:

"Justice Department seizes ballots in Philadelphia, Milwaukee,
Detroit, Cleveland, Newark, other cities in widening vote-fraud investigation."

[Iowa Granny]

It's going to take something much worse than that for me to hit the abuse button.

Thank You, Mr. Rove for telling it like it is.

Back to today's projects. BBL

The warm fuzzies are just beginning... Looking forward to seeing what Laura wears to this inaugural ball. Maybe GWB will have practiced his dance moves so we'll get to see more of Laura and George cutting the rug.

And don't forget the possibility of one...or maybe TWO...White House weddings!

[BigWaveBetty]

Here'a my DREAM NYT's headline:

Blatant Bias and Outright Lies crumble long standing Newspaper of record. FBI swarms the building.

Couple more for the list:

Raum Emanuel
Harold Ickes
Howrd Wolfson
Chad Clanton
Mary Beth Cahill (sorry for any repeats)

[BigWaveBetty]

And don't forget the possibility of one...or maybe TWO...White House weddings!

Be still my heart!!

[BigWaveBetty]

Thanks IG, can't tell how I've been chomping at the bit to use that picture. And though I believe the story behind it said it was a light hearted moment, I saved just for this occasion. :-)

I need to get some work done too .... back asap!

Breaking news:

Arafat is dying of breast cancer.

This is not a joke.

Amazing is right but then we have an amazing man who is our president:

President Calls Man After Wife's Death

POSTED: 5:00 pm EST November 3, 2004 UPDATED: 8:12 pm EST November 3, 2004

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- It was an all-out push to the finish for President George W. Bush during the 2004 campaign, but in the middle of the battle, a single phone call placed by the president made all the difference for a Columbus-area man, NBC 4's Holly Hollingsworth reported.

Karry Ellis, an assistant chief for the Columbus Division of Fire, is grieving the loss of his wife to cancer, but he said the nation's returning commander in chief found time late in his campaign to show compassion.

Two week ago, Ellis' wife, Martha, passed away after a six-year battle with breast cancer.

"She just took two real slow, deep breaths, and I just screamed, 'Sweetheart, I love you!' " Ellis said. "And she just kind of raised up and said, 'I love you.' And that was it. She was gone."

During a Bush campaign visit a couple of months ago, Ellis managed to meet the president and told him about his wife's diagnosis. The president and first lady sent notes and even called Ellis' wife on the phone.

"And she said, 'Oh my God, I can't believe you're calling me,' " Ellis said. "And she said she said that a couple of times. And he said, 'Well, I just met Karry down at Nationwide Arena and he told me about your battles. I just wanted to let you know that Laura and I will be praying for you every night.' "

When the president made his last-ditch campaign swings through Ohio late last week, he learned of Martha Ellis' death. Just before boarding Air Force One to leave Columbus last Saturday, he took a moment to make a call. Karry Ellis picked up just as the answering machine clicked on.

"I want you to know our prayers are with you," Bush told Ellis as the answering machine was recording. "And I remember when you talked about her, you talked with such passion and love, that I know you're hurting right now. (She was a beautiful woman, Mr. President.) I know it."

Ellis said that when he listens to the president's words, he said he knows they come from the heart.

Ellis said that several of his friends and neighbors voted for Bush based simply on the kindness he showed to the Ellis family.

Ellis said he feels that compassion is one of the most important traits a leader can possess.

Tim Robbins and his sidekick Susan Sarandon!

Then why am I laughing?

Here are some more belly laughs:

INTERIOR DESECRATIONS:
Horrible Homes from the Brass Age of American Design [the 70's]

Read the captions! LOL!

An example:

"This appears to be a work of art based on the butts of three shaved cats...Remember, friends: always coordinate your gigantic, room-smothering wallcoverings with your napkin rings. People notice such things."

If you're not reading James Lileks on a regular basis, you're really missing a treat. Sounds a little off the wall at first when he keeps talking about his little girl, "Gnat". But stick with it...he's well worth getting to know.
