T, we are a decade from that point.

But we need to start punching back to even approach it.

I want blood

I can do a bid and listen to music at the same time-starting with this-

“We’ll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgment of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again

The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that’s all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain’t changed
Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war”...

I’ve been waiting for the big deal since I was 14-I intend to be part of it.

Pseudo-cult classic, I saw when I was stationed in Tustin.

Guy “if theres anything I can do for you,,,or more to the point to you”
Girl: “ can you hammer a six inch spike thru a board with your penis”
Guy: “not right now”
Girl: “well, a girl has to have her standards”

Perhaps, but I’m happier if it comes early-and that could happen, given that politics is blood-sport, and the smell of it is getting stronger by the day.

As for blood-my education and early career promoted gentle means of change, but my upbringing, ethnic history and my rebellious nature will win out every time...

I think Fort Lee will be a non-factor, first in the primary campaign and let alone by the time the general election comes around if the GOP decides to become the Democrat Lite party in 2016.

it’s about them trying to shape the early perceptions.

Like the drive-by media polls that say hillary beats every potential GOP candidate except for Christie. Oh please oh please Brer GOP, don't throw me in that briar patch!

He’s the guy they fear.

Check the electoral map.

Then consider his anti union position, in the context of a unified government.

She wears a rub-on when she's in character.

And not only the one you see there...

Should be clear sailing on the interstates. Is this his senior year?

I thought you agreed to keep the “intrare periculo tuo” stamp, a secret?

Sleep with one eye open bud ;-)

If you don’t show up for class, I’ll call 911.

Yep, final semester. He needs to start the job search in earnest this semester. Gonzaga had an alumni networking session last evening that he attended.

I’m not sure how much they actually fear him. They may have listened to so much of their own self-serving advice to the GOP that they are actually starting to believe it.
His anti-union position basically consists of standing up to the teachers’ union. Other than that, I don’t trust him to stand up against card check, or against the union-backed push to increase minimum wage.
