We are back to regular spring here, but it is supposed to cool off a few degrees over the weekend...
Obama’s minions are confused
They don’t seem to understand
That their retro enemies lists
Have gotten way out of hand
People have seen this before-
The false courage and lying
Do not impress committees
But they can’t help trying
Nixon-like, they dig for dirt
On those they want to throttle-
But diktats will no longer put
The genie back into the bottle...
There have been a couple of articles on the Web this morning linking the IRS scandal to efforts made last year to scuttle the Verify the Recall and the True the Vote efforts in Wisconsin. Although our Hurculean efforts to comb through nearly 1,000,000 signatures did not stop the recall against our Governor, we gleaned much useful, searchable information and manged to unseat a partisan judge in our County who signed the petition against Walker and couldn’t explain why.
It is ironic that I sit here, nursing my replaced knee that I originally injured when I slipped on an unseen patch of black ice on my way to a meeting to review petition signatures in Feb. 2012. Not only did I wrench my knee, I broke 3 fingernails below the quick which hurt even more than the knee. I BLED on the Governor’s petitions while working on them, so I feel like I have a vested interest in this whole deal. I’ve been using a cane ever since, but I’m getting better now.
I thought you might say it was the title of some foreign “film”....
I followed the whole Wisconsin recall fiasco with great interest, and laughed my ass off when the liberals got a well deserved smackdown-you are justified in being proud of your part in it, knee, fingernails and all...
Excellent. A+++ My little dog was left in her kennel today while I went out to get Tobbe’s cake for after school. She moved her kennel a good three feet while I was gone. I need to find my gates so she can have the run of the kitchen while I am gone.
TY, TY!
I never tire of these stories.
Liberalism is a disease of their character. It’s fatal to their souls. Pathetic excuses of humans. Miller was disgusting this morning on my tv, lying like the lying king. I want him on the ground to kick him around....however being a Christian I wouldn’t actually be able to do that to anyone....just tempted.
Thank you! Smart puppy-she got the point across.
Midget girl has apparently been tutored in creative begging by Titus, who is a master of it. Unlike Yeti boy, who sits quietly by my desk until his soulful look prompts me into putting in front of him some bits of whatever filling is in my sandwich pocket/wrap, Titus stands on hind legs, leaning forward against the chair, reaching out a front paw and whining as if he is starved.
I was eating a tuna wrap I’d made awhile ago, and Titus was doing his act when he was suddenly joined by the Midget, waving a paw and whining with him. I gave all 3 cats bits of tuna, which made them happy. Husky girl doesn’t like fish-she’d have eaten my whole lunch otherwise...
I saw the picture yesterday. What kind of dog is it?
Oh, I could if he took a swing at me-I “see red” if an opponent threatens me or mine physically-and I’d get a hell of a head rush out of it, too. And Miller is one of those people who needs a can of whoopass opened on him, too...
I saw part of the hearings earlier-has anyone ever had as many lapses of memory as Miller did? “I don’t remember, I’d have to look that up”-he’s excelled at the Hillary Clinton school of artful dodging.
Han Solo would recognize Obama’s dickatorship of racist, anti-ethical, anti- Christian, homosexual control in his universe’s Corellian diktat.
Then again, where is a Wookie and a Death Star when you really need one?
Shih tzu
I beg to differ. There was nothing “artful” about the dodging.
Did you really mean to ask where is the Wookie? She’s in my town, giving a commencement speech at MLK Magnet school.
In their world it was-he was just as good at it as Hillary, and he didn’t say “what difference does it make”...
Does the school teach about magnets, or to magnets?
With a speaker like that, I’m sure many were repelled. ;)
It’s supposed to “attract” the best students from a large urban district.
If you were asking seriously.
