I’m seeing the show online and it doesn’t look like anyone in the audience is listening to anything anyone on stage is blabbering about. How can they expect anyone to watch this whole nightmare on t.v.?

From http://www.newsobserver.com/news/chatham/story/1192433.html:
Roper, 54, who has no health insurance and lives on Social Security checks with her disabled husband, says she's putting her faith in Sen. Barack Obama, who's scheduled to be nominated Thursday as the Democrats' presidential candidate, to bring some economic relief.

Cash-Roper washes down about 30 pills a day. Her husband, Keith, 58, takes just as many. The Pittsboro couple's combined prescriptions cost $3,000 a month, she said.

They've both had open-heart surgery. Keith had it in 1998 and 2000. The second surgery left him disabled and unable to work as a maintenance electrician at WakeMed Hospitals.

Their only income is Keith Roper's monthly Social Security check of $1,100.

I was wondering that, too.
Does he want a freakin medal for doing what people the world over do every single day of their lives??

“Oooo...he knows not to mix the red sock with the sheets. Bless his heart.” Seriously, WTH??

She should have picked the Power Red suit. I'm disappointed in Hill.

CNN is going through the red state map county by painful county trying to wish an Obama win. It was pathetic.

Anyone heard on whether Barry's gonna screw over Hillie's delegates and do the hotel room roll call thing?

Note to the nation: If Obama will knife his fellow 'Rats in the back, just think of what'd he'd be willing to the rest of us...

Her time on stage! New hairdo. Time at tanning salon. New dress. Not being listened to, priceless.

Who is Bucky?

LOL!!

I don't think I can explain it here and not get myself banned :)

Just imagine a single middle-aged lounge-lizard wearing a Herb Tarlek suit--that's Bucky ;)

Do you have the right pop tarts tonight?

You will not believe what happened and I even thought of you at the store. LOL

I stopped at the store and stocked up for the week. I got Spaghettios, Chef BoyRDee Ravioli, Jays BBQ Chips, you know, the staples.

I got to the car and realized I FORGOT Pop Tarts!!

I had no idea Hillary publicly denounced McCain for using her in his ads against Obama. I was wondering when she was going to come out and pretend to care about it.

"He also told Karl that Americans really don't know Michelle so I guess she's just groovy now. "

I heard that too, and screamed at the TV: "They don't know Michelle Obama, because that's the way the Obamas want it!" As soon as she started saying embarrassing things on the campaign trail, they pulled the plug on her, so how is one supposed to know who she is?
