Too late. It's not going to work. Truthfully, that's what scared me the most! The two of you where part of the group that kept me sane (and calm) during the last election.

My husband has been daring me to post for years. I think so he doesn't have to listen to the post I would make if I actually posted. Boy will he be relieved when I tell him.

So here I sit, a pitiful little newbie, refreshing and hoping that someone notices me!

So, thanks for the kind words.

I'm glad you decided to post because yours is the most sensible post of the day, imo.

Don't be shy about posting and I'm glad we helped you keep sane during the election. LOL

Your husband sounds like mine. He'll say, "Well, just go tell the freepers; I've already heard it ten times." LOL

ROFLMAO. Been there, done that!

I think you defined in a profound and understandable way what the Dinner was all about. I believe that too many people not only take George W for granted,they are condescending of Laura also,and she hit a huge homerun. I believe she probably discussed the jokes regarding Lynn Cheney,Barbara Bush,Sandra Day Oconnor and Ruth Bader Ginsberg with them in advance. With the success of the appearance on the Leno Show and this successful endeavor she is batting 1000. This is all positive and I cannot believe how some people are taking this to be bad. You did good in your first post.

your first post was great..and I am to your second.. great also.

Maybe I will find you again?

I will chip in on the side of completely finding Laura's remarks without offense. She exuded class, warmth & humor.

I often don't even understand a lot of jokes. series. -- as a newbie do you know that one :)

But thought I understood the horse joke. I thought he was a fish out of water more or less in the rural setting. I had NO sexual thoughts about the horse joke until I read the Objections from the moralists here.

Desperate Housewives. I don't watch TV in general (last two shows I watched was the Pope's funeral & the Presser a few days ago.) Never saw DH.. heard from others a little of it. See Dubya's reaction, I felt it was appropriately
okay... but now I am told is was bad. was the president out of line for laughing I wonder?

Now the Chippendales..ah... well, how to stay out of trouble on this one. I think men appreciate the fine points of femininity.. and for women it is the same. Most of us thought that was a hoot. In fact i thought they really did go to a show. Golly, after all the guff they put up with in DC, it would be a fun break?

Now that I am really in trouble I will go back to my mundane existence.
