Where else are you going to get the chance to do so? Let’s Make a Deal is off the air.

That is a magnificent graphic, Tioga, and it has slaked my morning thirst for inspiration! :-)

BIG message to women. You can have a family and a career. It’s not necessary to get gov mandated bc. A++

Many of the most DYNAMIC and Exciting Conservative leaders are WOMEN, who have families and careers. It flies in the face of left-wing rhetoric.

That’s why they are the targets of incredible, unacceptable ABUSE from the left.

“empty suit”...well done ti!

[tioga]

Explains why they save a special vile abuse for Sarah Palin who is all that and the mother of a Down’s baby. She was supposed to place him on the altar of abortion. Praise God she is wiser than that.

There’s a fundamental difference between beer and Irish whiskey: Beer is to quench the thirst but Irish whiskey is just for pleasure.

The obviously overheated, red-faced man quickly ran by me, rapidly discarding clothes as he went. Nearly naked, he then jumped into a large, nearby body of fresh water. When I asked him what was going on, he replied-

” ‘slake...”

I just read a comment by Ari Fleischer that the same people complaining about not enough specifics from Romney were content with ‘hope’ and ‘change’ last time around. End of argument.

[afraidfortherepublic]

I said the same to my husband last night when (while driving back to the hotel) we heard somebody on Sirius Radio (Fox NC) complain that Romney did not reveal enough about himself, or Bain, or his role in the LDS church in his speech.

Good grief! We know/knew NOTHING about the Won even after 4 years in office!

[secret garden]

And I cried hearing about how he has helped families with sick and dying children. obama/biden cannot compete with genuine goodness. They couldn’t fabricate anything close to what we heard last night but I’m sure they’re furiously trying to dig up something about their self-absorbed egoists.

In anticipation of going to a family wedding next week in Pittsburgh, my daughter picked up a talking doll from yappinyinzers.com. Push the "0" on the uniform.

The only way the Obummer minions will ever become slake in their centuries old goal, is when we live in a world where everything is free but us and "they", and only they, are in control of it all.

We must be always vigilant until the ideology that drives their desires has become extinct and washed completely away from our lives for all time.

i am not a big fan of making a spectacle of myself. Just got back from the vet with the two pooches. Apparently Jules needs to cut back on the snacks. he's 23.4 lbs! the Vet wrote on his sheet: "a sweet handsome boy. Needs to lose a few pounds." Chan is a petite 16.2 lbs, so he is one and a half Chans in size! They are both fagged out from all the excitement now. it's always a huge brouhaha going to the vet because they get all kinds of attention and get to see other dogs etc. I had to update their shots. Jules got rabies and distemper. They are both allergic to the lepto so i never bother with that one. xsbaby just went over and asked our neighbor if he wanted Romney yard sign. he was excited to get it and also wants her to get him a Perkins one, Perkins is running against Gerry Connolly, Our leftist scumbag rep. Chris Perkins is retired military.
