TornadoAlley3

Speaking about tornadoes. There were 2 tornadoes hit in the Denver area on Sunday, and there was a tornado watch again yesterday. From the looks of it there are going to be heavy rains with more severe thunderstorms in the next couple of days. That hurricane is coming up the Sea of Cortez off of the coast of Mexico and CA, and it's bringing torrential rains. Hopefully, it will wash out Obama's grandstanding in the open stadium.

Of course, I would never wish a tornado would hit that stadium and kill all of those liberals, but if God wants to do it, then I have no say in the matter. I mean, after all, they are the party of abortion murder, and homosexuality, and those are two huge no-no's to God, so He could have an axe to grind with them. LOL You can't really blame Him. ;o)

Will someone ask her how she feels about what her union leadership has done with her hard-earned union dues?

“Gloria Craven Laid-off North Carolina textile worker with huge medical bills “

Wow, that is almost as bad as the descriptor I use for important events: “Frankjr, Lazy Fat Hairy Guy with Bad Feet and Gas”

Saw this on another board today:

An email from Ireland to all of their brethren in the States...a point to ponder despite your political affiliation:

‘We, in Ireland , can’t figure out why you people are even bothering to hold an election in the United States

On one side, you had a pants wearing female lawyer, married to another lawyer who can’t seem to keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer, who goes to the wrong church, who is married to yet another lawyer, who doesn’t even like the country her husband wants to run !

Now...On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate ‘Mc’ terminology, married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship !!

What in God’s name are ya lads thinkin over in the colonies !

Hmmm... we never had a Red Sox-Yankees seasonal thread this year...

Oh well, wondering if you are watching the Red Sox and Yankees on NESN right now. Have you noticed the pro-Obama and pro-Kerry for MA Senate (narrated by algore) commercials? *barf*

John Sweeney is an amazing speaker, hard to believe he was not the VP pick.
