"You'll see the two of us both have drool tubes. Will these be distracting during your presentation?"

[finnman69]

Don't you mean to say Mr. RAT lawyer that we have the power to do your bidding.

Why are we going to allow the ballot to be changed?

Well look at my hand !?!

When I woke up this morning this message was tattoed on it:

Youz betta sidz wit the dems or uz gonna sleeps wit da fishes...

Chief Justice of NJ Supreme Court says she will "grease the skids" for the Dem political bosses.

IMHO, this line will live in infamy.

[twyn1]

for those who missed the live feed--she really DID say that !

[SternTrek]

in what context did she say that? was she commenting that if she ruled in their favor that she would be greasing the skids?

[finnman69]

"Allow me to GREASE THE SKIDS"

[twyn1]

They were discussing reprintng the ballots with the spokesman (lawyer ??) for the County Clerks' office -- he said it would have to be done very soon and that, since they were held to a specific budget, clerks could lose their job if they went over-budget, and stating (more than once) the need to move quickly and have "deep-pockets". He kept hemming and hawing, not sure if every county could finish up in time to get the ballots ready in time. She then said, I am paraphrasing a bit here... "okay, if we grease the skids here, can it be done?"

"Let me offer you a present" (actual quote)

[SwatTeam]

Don't these esteemed justices look and sound exactly like the Floridah justices with different wigs? Are they all androids programmed by the same mad democrat scientist? Oh, boy, what a conspiracy theory that is! Since I think I broke my little toe this morning when I got so upset with these elite a@@@oles, I'm going to prop my foot up with an ice pack and watch the baseball game. Stay vigilent and hold the fort.

And what about the absentee voters who may have used the old ballots?

[twyn1]

Thery're going to send out new ballots--a different color from the first ones--and toss any old ones that are returned--also may extend the certification date a bit to allow for any late return mailings--they ignored hypothetical questions, such as what if a serviceman who already rec'd his ballot and voted, sent it back but it has not yet been rec'd in the clerk's office, and he is now restationed to a different assignment with NO clue that he will have to re-submit an absebntee request

[twyn1]

absentee even (grrr--must preview !)
