LOL!

I was laughing and the kids heard me, so of course I had to tell them your line. The eight year old says, “..and an ear replacement.”

The infomercial reminded me of a TV show in the 1950’s called “Queen for a Day”. Hosted by a guy by the name of Jack Bailey there were four contestants on each show trying to convince the audience that theirs was the worst hard luck case of all. The winner was chosen by the members of the audience via a device called the applause-o-meter.

That’s what I was reminded of. Let’s trot out all of these hard luck cases. Obama will make everyone “queen for a day”. What ever happened to “Morning in America”?

To hell with all of it-polls, op-eds, etc etc For me it's simple-it's sort of like the title of that chick- lit book:

VOTE

PRAY

LOVE (my country)

oh, and LOCK AND LOAD-I'm going to do all of the above

Tuesday at 7 AM, I'll be in line

Broken Glass MOLTEN LAVA!

abnegation: to deny or refute

dolorous: causing grief

insipid: lacking in qualities that interest

There, now we are all enriched. Thanks for challenging our vocabularies.

I’ve seen 26.3 million viewers across broadcasters CBS, NBC and Fox, according to preliminary Nielsen ratings.

I’ll just say it was somewhere between disturbing and an intestinal blockage.

LOL!

What a conservative columnist thinks about the informercial is irrelvant since he’s not the target audience.

Who’s consuming all the stupid TV shows, pop music, grocery tabloids, etc.? The author would be similarily dismisive of that kind of fare as well.

Along with millions of other conservative Christians I was in church on Wednesday evening.

Something tells me we weren’t BHO’s target audience.

I didn’t see a drop or a drib of the ad. I’ve heard a bit on morning radio and also on Fox, but I’ve got no details. So far, everyone seems sort of unexcited about it, barely mentioning it, and the morning radio host is a bit of a liberal.

I saved myself the aggravation of watching the Obama Ego Stroking Tour, and practiced my piano instead. I have no doubt it was every bit as bad as it was said to be here.

I'll reserve judgment until I hear your piano.

Our kids are only allowed 2 hours of cartoons a night so we missed this one.

You know it tanked if CNN wasn't yelling about superior ratings.

I've gotten to the point where I can't even stomach to look at Obamatrash even during a quick TV ad. The ego coming from this man is repulsive. I personally think he looks like a corpse and he is so highly aware of the cameras he's constantly twisting and turning for them. They just need to add Madonnas song Vogue to the mix of pics of him and it's laughable.

It's a bit sad to watch someone get so caught up in themselves they don't realize how foolish they look. Along with Madonna's Vogue lets just add in a sound bite of Sally Field saying.. You like me! You really really like me! Cut to a bunch of anoerexics sticking their fingers down their throats LOL

It was used AGAINST the Marxist in that one from the PUMAs.

Well, the first thing they could do is a make-over on the Naked Archaeologist.
