Adjournment
Now they are playing "The Tennessee Waltz." Badly.
LOL, no kidding? Different strokes for different folks and all?
No wonder the rats are trying to get voting rights for 13 year olds. :-}
SSSSh. That's my brother, undercover. Idiot, I told him to try to blend in --they're DIMO-crats. My stupid brother.
YES SHE DID! She said, "Vote for Harry Edwards for president." YES! SHE DID!
(Now, I can see voter problems in Arkansas this election.)
She sounded sane, but sadly misguiged.
They're trying to kill ten minutes until PeanutBoy Carter is up at the top of the hour. More twangy music. C'mon 'Rats...where the hip-hop??? Thought y'all were soooo progressive and street-wise. Word.
LOL!
ROTF
Country and western night.
Women's drinks two for one.

Break out your Billy Beer folks - I'll stick to my sour mash, thank you very much - the entertainment is just about to being. This message has been brought to you my Sominex.
Exactly how do you clog to a waltz?
I've seen lots of dead air, too much dead air.
Somebody's not managing this thing very well.
I am troubled by it. And you gun grabbers with names like Kerry and Edwards VOTED for them all - including the damn patriot act.
You can barely tell that it's Hillary. But she can't fool me.
OMG........The Tennessee Waltz! Are you listening, Al?
I think the Dems should highlight every single candidate of theirs that lost. Gore, McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, Humphrey, Adlai Stevenson. Who cares if two of them are dead. They'd still be more interesting than Kerry.
Still looking for a shot of Nipper ... er Tipper.
