Ted Cruz gets his 5th Sunday Show appearance since announcing his candidacy!
Cruz AND Clinton on the air today. That is amazing,
Morning AB, All,
As always, thank you for doing this thread AB. Thank Bray for his weekly wisdom, thank yon commenters for thoughtful input and most of all, thank God that I am still alive.
Or something.
I went to something called the “Volunteer Appreciation Dinner” at my church. Since I sing in the choir (which I will be doing at the 10 am mass this morning) I am allowed a free meal.
This sort of thing is generally boring but hey, I live alone and I have to socialize or I’ll go nuts. So I arranged for me to attend with another choir member.
They had a DJ last night who was terrific. Both of the parish priests attended and stayed the entire evening. Father Tom Flowers even got up and danced with someone but not to worry, it was NOT me.
I, ahem, danced and spent much of the night with THE DJ!
Heh.
Here’s the thing, I do dance, people, and am pretty damn good at it too. But seven years ago I had a quadruple bypass and my legs have questionable circulation. Dancing is the best thing for my legs but I am limited. Walking is my exercise of choice but oh how I love to dance.
I have not danced, at least in any public setting, FOR TEN YEARS!
Lack of opportunity and lack of a dance partner. My husband, God love, simply could NOT dance but you know….weddings and stuff.
So I watched everybody dancing and you can bring your spouses to this thing only I have no spouse. I prayed, yeah I was in the church hall so why not pray? But I prayed that somebody would ask me to dance. I just wanted so bad to go out and dance and yes I have no problem with dancing with women, fast dances, that kind of thing. But what, I’m going to go out and just dance with some woman out there?
I even felt sad for a little bit cause no one asked me to dance but smile here, why the hell should they?
Anyway, the DJ sat at our table and he’s calling door prize numbers and spinning records and finally he reaches over the table, extends his arm…AND ASKS ME TO DANCE!
So we went out on the dance floor, then filled with people. We dance a bit and yeah, I smile at the memory, but the entire choir cheered me on cause once I got started I was moving.
If you like my dancing then good. Cause the entire time I am dancing the blood is being pumped through my legs (they took a big vein out of my leg and put it in my heart…hence leg issues but hey, my heart works!) and it feels good. It’s hard to dance for a long time because the legs start to hurt after a while but hey, I did it, me and the DJ!
At some point the DJ goes over cause he’s on a roll, enjoying our dance and hey, that’s his job, getting people on the floor (his hair style was EXACTLY like Rod Stewart, heh), and puts on the song….get this…”MUSTANG SALLY”.
He then comes back out on the floor and however it came to be yon readers but it always happens to me, everybody leaves the floor!
So it’s me and the DJ, heh….AND I DANCED THROUGH THE ENTIRE SONG!
Heh.
I was exhausted after the dance but there I was, dancing on the dance floor with the DJ to Mustang Sally. Ah the memories.
Lookit, the DJ was married, there was nothing there but fun, but Lord I had a good time.
Now I want, desperately, to slow dance with a man.
Someday I suppose.
THIS WEEK (ABC): Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump; Clinton, Sanders.
STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): Sanders, Clinton, Trump.
Will Kasich demonstrate his karate moves while talking about his father, the mailman?
Ted Cruz is finally on...Yes FNS...
Obama’s new job next year...replacing Drew Carey on ‘Lets Make A Deal’.
Good Sunday morning everyone!
Hope everyone is doing well. Apologies for not posting on this great thread for a long time, but I do read it as much as I can. Had 2 eye surgeries in September and I can see so much better now - wish I hadn’t been such a weinie about surgery and had them done long before.
Watched the debates the other night and have been reading on FR various posts about what seem to be the two big issues: 1) NY values and 2)Ted’s NBC status. I like both of these men for various reasons and I wish they would somewhat get their bromance back and attack Hitlery! the Bern and others (though some of the GOPe contenders have such low poll #’s it’s not worth their time to bother with them).
One thing I’ve noticed about Rubio lately that really bugs the heck out of me (and he just said it again on Meet the Depressed) is “when I’m President” (some of the others say “if I’m President”. Of course, that’s only 1 thing that bugs me about him, he talks so stinking fast - just like a used car salesman.
I’m also waiting to see an intelligent discussion about the “vast wasteland” that is the Democrat field of potential candidates. All I hear about is that when/if Hillary is actually indicted, the alternatives are Joe Biden or Elizabeth Warren. Add in Bernie Sanders, and anybody the Dems have available to run is way past their “use by” date.
I respond to this thread regularly, and generally post to you only because you post the Sunday Show thread. But after learning this past week that you are 150 % in the tank for Trump, yes our back and forth, I had to search for another place on the thread to post my opinion on the Sunday shows
Bernie Sanders tells Face the Nation that Donald is a pathological liar because of his claims of muslims celebrating on 9-11...even without any qualifiers such as “in New Jersey”.
Bernie, too many of us saw it, albeit perhaps the source location of the video may be conflated with the story. Please take a swallow of reality. ME muslims were very happy to see the great Satan attacked. And clearly still are.
Switched channels, went Face The Nation, who showed an Obama speech where he said that he was happy to talk to adversaries. That went right to an interview with John Kasich, and I had to leave the room to clear the breakfast dishes. Hopefully John K. Rebutted the Baraq quote...
Caught Ted Cruz on Fox News Sunday. He handled Crissie’s gotcha questions masterfully. No bombast or bragging, just straightforward answers to the issues. He made great points contrasting his approach on defeating ISIS to Hussein’s and showed how he would regain some the of the respect America has lost. His response to the changing his vote accusation was something I did not realize and made it clear that it was a mistake on his staff’s part but that once he realized the problem, he corrected it.
