I am charmed by Newt calling BS when he sees it. I think he is the only one capable of calling out BO. But I wouldn’t want to have to sleep with Newt. The idea of Romney makes me throw up into my mouth, too, however. Allen West? I am SO THERE. Especially if he shows up in uniform :)
oh yeah, allen west!
Wintah Hill ... Packy is shot for package store (I can’t phonic ahh (our) pronunciation of store) , which is what a licka store is called
i fault the young bucks for not getting in. Rubio, Ryan etc. They would have garnered incredible support. Retreads like we have are gross.
They put together plans and dreams and ... running the country was not part of their thought processes at the time.
have either of you seen the Discover commercial with Tim Thomas in the Boston cab, calling Peggy about his card not working? we LOAO at that woman cab driver every damn time. It’s our fave commercial at our house. On constantly on the hockey channels.
Then we rally around Romney and try to give him a backbone. A Newt general election (win or loss) would give a lot more clarity to the electorate’s view on issues (or sense of reality).
and the MA accents in The Fighter were also hilarious. One of my best friends is from Boston, another from RI, and they both have those ridic accents ; )
i am hoping one of them will end up in the Veep slot.
believe me i don’t see him as any great shakes either, he’d have to grow a titanium set overnight, as i said. i think it’s even up as to which of them could beat obama. they each have electability problems, IMO.
What people left what nation speaking what language and colonizing where ... first.
Knock out the minutia (sp?), and we don't talk ridic ... you HEAR ridic because of YOUR ridic accents.
/8^)
i LOVE accents! and i’m from Pittsburgh, managed to lose mine, but can put one on just fine to sound like the natives ; ) we speak Pittsburghese upon occasion in the classroom, bc Soother and Explorer and i are all from the Burgh....
First colony was in Virginia.
And they don’t sound retahhded.
let’s not have a yinzer acting all high and mighty on the lexicon issue!! ya nebsh!t! ; )
This much-maligned character was more Pawky than many realize...
I used to feel that way. However...the IPOD opened my eyes a decade ago when my 2 year old destroyed my 300 disc changer.
Now the ability to carry a library, and add to it at the push of a button..is like a Porsche.
There is no substitute.

I started with Kindle for PC which mandated sitting at my desk...Once I got on the IPAD...(which has the added benefit of not losing your page when you fall asleep reading!) I’ll never go back to print unless I have to.
The $$$ you save by eschewing Dead Tree, over time pays for the device.
My Teen has the Kindle Fire, which is pretty sweet..and a fraction of what my IPAD cost.
I read The Hunger games 3 books, in 5 sittings.
