this are the best fireworks bc they are silent!
I am stunned that she just walked away....and if anyone thinks the presidency would be easier than governor of Alaska they are delusional.....I hope she has a wonderful summer with her children and that she finds a role for herself in our future. She is a refreshing change from our typical elite presidential hopeful. I am just not at all convinced she will rise to higher office after this.
Those are lovely-and a Happy 4th to all from me.
We are going to the road party later this evening-my SIL and I made a salad and frijoles borrachos, and I’m going to man the grill, as usual. I really miss my hubby when I go to these neighborhood gatherings-we always had so much fun at them...
if she decided, herself, to do this, without benefit of counsel of an advisor, i’d say odds are she’s done. if this is something that is part of a strategy, devised by a knowledgeable pol, she may still have a shot.
You mean it might be a brilliant strategery? Love the fireworks, very pretty and easy on the ears.

I also asked my anesthesiologist colleague about MJ using Propofol. He thinks it's completely insane. The drug is used to induce general anesthesia, and is so intensely painful when injected it has to be mixed with local anesthetic or given through a central line. When you wake up you don't feel refreshed either.
what would the point be for MJ to be having that injected? i wanted to try to register for a ticket to the funeral so i could sell it for a ton of $.
i’m wondering if they expect him to rise up out of the casket and perform there on Tues?
It will induce obliviousness to one’s environment. That’s all I can speculate.
Putin drew a line in the sward with his sword.
If he did get up and perform, he wouldn’t need makeup to look undead like he did in the “Thriller” video.
guess the freakshow tired mj as much as the rest of us then.......
putin does that and theOne will cave faster than an empty beer can on the forth of july.......
A+
it was amazing that the footage of the dress rehearsal was as good as it was. he doesn’t look weak or fragile in what i saw.
oh i was just reading some stuff about HBP and i am soooo excited for it, i cannot WAIT!
Try to catch it in Imax. OOTP was awesome!
For all of you a gift of the "Catus Cuties" - a little group from Lubbock Texas, performing in the beautiful United Spirit Arena on the campus of Texas Tech University.....
She quit her job cause it got rough.....she said it was better for Alaska.....well inside that beltway there is a dem/pub gridlock like no other.......she gonna quit if she can’t get things done in DC? is she gonna sit there and hang tough when someone in her administration gets investigated and arrested? Bush did......he hung in there despite the attacks. does she have what it takes? sorry, I gotta wonder.
and I am NOT listening to the media........I came up with that question all by myself. ‘cause it makes sense to ask it.
look, I like Sarah as much as others around here......I am just disappointed.
that is the left’s take on why she quit. we really do not know what her strategy was. of course everyone is wondering, but absolutely NO ONE knows what is going to happen and whether she has a future or not. that was rush’s point. and it IS the dems and conservative elitists that are sticking a fork in her bc they have NEVER wanted her to succeed, they look at this as stroke of good fortune to have her take herself out.
right now i am POd that we are supporting the marxist dictator wannabe zelaya in honduras. shameful position for us to be in.
I got that from the film clips of her speech.....I still have not heard it in it’s entirety, but I have heard her say it. that the state was getting nothing done due to lawsuits......well.......how much is different in DC? not a lot.
Good to hear Rush, commenting on this during his VACATION.
That says something right there.
