".....and today I really need a few laughs."
May all your dreams come true, dog. I hope it wasn't too bad a day.
It's a non stop train wreck. One needs C Span on TV or streaming
The Swimmer that was bone dry. He wasn't even damp. Yet he did all that diving.....
Teresa not speaking tonight? Are they pulling the plug on the Prozac lady?

Two men parodying John Kerry (news - web sites) and Michael Dukakis greet people walking into the Fleet Center for the second day of the Democratic National Convention in Boston, Tuesday, July 27, 2004. John Kerry made a campaign appearance in a NASA (news - web sites) protective suit one day earlier, while Dukakis donned military gear for an infamous photo op during his 1988 presidential campaign. The men declined to give their real names. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer)
On the big screen they showed, one after the other, pictures of people and next to them it said they were "REPUBLICAN", then for each, after several seconds, at the bottom of the screen it said "Voting for John Kerry in 2004".
I'll just bet they're "Republican".
You'll be disappointed. O'Reilly didn't lay a glove on fatboy. Transcript on Drudge.
OH and these little drum beat thingies they are doing is VERY annoying
The have to be freepers.....LOL!
I'll watch O' Reilly..but Gag at the very sight of Moore.
Boortz called Monday night the Loser night, because that's the night they put on ex-Pres and wannabes. But tonight has got to be twice as bad - they certainly have alot of no-accounts in the party as filler.
Everyone wave to the camera....now give it your best Queen Elizabeth wave.
I live to see the day when all demoliars will bow before the true living God, and not their satanic god!
Just had to pause for a neighbor pounding on the door looking frantic...somebody nearbye was shooting and the moment I saw his face I thought he was asking for help because of a shooting accident...turned out he had no idea who was shooting, but he'd lost his dog. She's in heat. Now we have to keep a close eye on our Shepherd. And I bet I'm ANOTHER 200 posts behind.
BALLWAWAWAWAWLALWLAWLAWLOLOLOLOLOLOL
ping to this post.......
Let's see, so I have to decide between watching (laughing at) the Mass. Murderer or Traitor Mooreon on O'Reilly. Decisions, decisions.
why, why do they feel they have to yell into the mic?
The swimmer is is then!
Did you all here what teds office said in response to the trahzuh comments " oh thats all water under the bridge" they get along swimingly now!!
