They have a pattern of putting their young ppl out there and then crying "youth! youth!"  Domenech, Pickels, Newman - all shorties.

only if Ed Shrock counts.

something weird happened to my poll...

It should read 'their intricate "knowledge" of economics'

I forgot what the other one should read.  Can't edit polls.

Anyway, I'm not sure if I can edit this either.  Eric, Corey, any ideas?

You could get sued over that poll comment.

Did you see my message yesterday about Pitin?  They are concering me.

I will SMOTE them!  I told you I would walk to the end of the earth to you, and I was NOT LYING!

Ben is my RK bffe, who needs a smackdown?

I suck

by "concering"-you meant CONCERNING.  I thought you meant CORNERING, and that someone needed to get beat up by me. 

Well, I will still be your bodyguard, Ben.

Not scared of them.  Check out this picture- guess which one is pitin----

;-)

He isn't the one drinking BEER, is he?

SAY IT AIN'T SO!

::faints::

Ben-why don't you ever come to public events?  Are you fake?

Maybe you are not attending the good ones.

ugh.

but you have your brown people mixed up in that picture...

I'm the one holding the bear, not the sticker.  The one holding the sticker works for the DNC in Washington.

(Psst, I was 22 when that picture was taken, for the record)

I was totally messing around.  The beer comment was made bc of the Jacqui debacle.  And I don't usually mix up "brown people," having been with a Lebanese man for the past 5.5 years.

Sorry, guess my sarcasim didn't go through the computer screen.  I meant nothing by the term "brown people" other than a descriptive term, (i.e. tall, short, bald, etc..) it's a maltransalation from hispanic culture where describing someone by race carries no other conotations then calling someone tall/short etc...

As far as the beer comment, I know what that was referncing, and I was responding in jest, shoulda put a ;o) after that.

Thanks for responding though.

and I have been out to Falls Church for a parade (Mem day) and I came to see John Kerry.

I really wanted to go to the victory party, but I am not really that great with the whole "don't drink so you can drive" mantra.  My mantra is more like, "get blitzed, and your visa will check you into a hotel room."  But I was off on 6/13-and you can't really call in drunk.

Where were you and why didnt you ask Lowell to intro me? 

He was heading out right away to go hand out Webb lit at another event where some "undecideds" were ;) and I wanted to shake hands with Kerry and get a pic.

Plus, evil Todd Smyth twisted my arm VERY VERY HARD to convince me to drink beer with him at the bar.  And by twisted I mean he said do you want a beer, and I was instantly on a bar stool.

It was cool though, I talked with lots of people from here, and I asked Jim Webb a question I have been wanting to ask him forever, and I hung out with his daughter for a bit and then I chatted with his daughter's boyfriend, who is super cool, and also headed overseas, I believe.  And his wife is one of the nicest women EVER.

I think Webb's staff thought I was a stalker though, considering I had seen them in Richmond at noon, and then I drove to Arlington for the rally.

I'm offended.  Todd tried to get me to drink also, but I don't drink so I declined.

Too much bandwidth being used for all of our new friends and phriends?

Dammit, this is messing up my GAME, Mr. Feld!  ;)

Okay, here's something for the trolls.  Let's look at the upbringing of some prominent conservative mouths.  Anne Coulter -- her father was an attorney.  Raised in suburban CT,  she says her family was upper middle class.  Grover Norquist grew up in the richest suburb of Boston (Weston).  Ben Stein's dad was a prominent economist.  All three of these peeps went to posh universities.  And all three have spent their lives advocating policies that make it harder for the poor and poorly educated to get ahead.  In their espousal of free market economics, they ignore (intentionally or unintentionally) the vast disparities in the nature/nurture mixture that produce bright kids, average kids, and below average kids.  They falsely assume that because THEY made it, anyone can.  I wonder how they would have done born to, e.g., a family in Appalachia where few people in the area had ever gone to college.  Gee, I almost forgot George Bush.  Imagine if he had been born to a laid off autoworker.  Where would he be today?

Lying in a pool of his own vomit, trying to find his pa nts with only the gleaming bright white light of a pile of blow to help him?

That or jail.

Dude, Laura in a trailer-picture perfect.

MARK!
Do you have any pics of me and my cute pigtails? 

I neglected to take any photos of you. I will hava another chance, i have a feeling.

However, I am posting the other stalker a little later. And some more of the rally.

As a replacement, I have a photo of the beach I took while in Hawaii:

It's been a rough day eh pequeña hermana?  Reading about your new celebrity and having those jackass photos you posted show up on the political blogs. Take a deep breath, life is for the adventurous!

Your grandma probably told you that somewhere between her anti-Castro screeds and her Barbancourt rum-fueled ramblings.  You gotta grab life by the cojones and hang on (you know, like your buddy Zach demonstrates on the Xuqa web page).

The old gal is quite an inspiration. But you know what? She's old as dirt, carries big issues, and you need to start thinking for yourself.  That quip about the Virginia Republicans and taking on the Commies makes you sound stupid.  And you are not stupid.

See, just like you would never smoke those hand-rolled cigars  Abuela favors, you can't be spouting her hate.  It isn't you.  You are the flower of a new generation.  Bloom.

You know that dangerous looking guy you keep seeing on campus?  The quiet one with weird clothes, scruffy hair, and a ratty old car?  The one that takes strange contrarian positions in your poly-sci classes?  The guy that sounds like a Communist?  Get to know him. "Experimenting" is more than beer bonging hermana.  Try to stretch alittle. You will be better for the effort.

You see, this is a problem with Republicans.  They tend to herd together. They only mix with their own kind.  By the time they reach the age of 40 they are unable to hold a contradictory thought and/or converse with someone of another opinion. What kind of enlightenment is that eh? Do you want to propagate from such an in-bred stock?

So pick yourself up and dust off.  Hell yeah you are a party girl. What the fuck of it!  Take this bad incident as a sign from God.  She just bitch-slapped you to the ground so that you could see your feet of clay. Get out and see how the other half live. Yeah Mom, Dad, and Abuela are not going to be happy.  But if you come back to their good graces at least it will be on your own terms and by your own volition. It will be by your choice.

Viva America, Viva Libre! 

But I say, remember Ronald Reagan who changed all the dynamics of the Cold War, which went on for nearly fifty years. Reagan didn’t think you could appease, co-exist, and accommodate the Soviet Union. He changed the dynamics in favor of the advancement of freedom. And now, because of Ronald Reagan—along with Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul the Second—there are millions of people in Central and Eastern Europe who were locked behind that Iron Curtain, who are now tasting that sweet nectar of liberty, and they are our friends and allies. He persevered, and freedom prevailed.

PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN'S 95TH BIRTHDAY

February 06, 2006
Today, because of Ronald Reagan, there are literally hundreds of millions of people who were once locked behind the Iron Curtain living in countries we now know as free countries--Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, former East Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and added countries such as Ukraine and Georgia, which are now tasting that sweet nectar of liberty as opposed to being behind the Iron Curtain.

HONORING THE 94TH ANNIVERSARY OF PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN'S BIRTH

February 3, 2005

Today, thanks to Ronald Reagan, as I saw Ambassadors on
the House floor from Lithuania, from Romania, throughout Central
Europe--those were hundreds of millions of people who were behind the
Iron Curtain. But, thanks to Ronald Reagan's perseverance, for his
belief in the dignity of all human beings, that all people do yearn to
be free, to exercise their God-given rights, those people who were
behind that Iron Curtain, who were enemies, are now tasting that sweet
nectar of liberty.

Because of President Reagan's steadfast determination, hundreds of millions of people tasting that sweet nectar of liberty in central Europe are now friends and allies," said Senator Allen.

On the 2004 election

Ronald Reagan's election changed the dynamic of the Cold War from one of containment and co-existence to the advancement of freedom. As a result, hundreds of millions of people in Central Europe, once behind the Iron Curtain, now taste the sweet nectar of liberty, have joined NATO, and are true friends and allies.

Senator Allen's Tribute to President Reagan
June 8, 2004
http://www.nrsc.org/nrscweb/newsdesk/articles/401.shtml

But President Reagan believed the blessings of liberty must not be bestowed only on a few nations and only to those blessed to be born on free soil; Ronald Reagan, with the strength of his convictions, exported and advanced democracy to continents, countries, and people yearning to taste the sweet nectar of liberty.

GOVERNOR ALLEN SELECTED AS "JEFFERSON SCHOLAR"

He also pointed to North Korea, China, Iraq, Cuba and other countries where "there are people who have never truly tasted freedom's sweet nectar.

Question of the Day: Is George Allen a hummingbird?

Fantastic post, JennyE!

And no, humming birds are too sweet for Gerogie Allen.

Here's one more off the services so no URL but to Radford grads May 5,2002 RTD :

"Please understand that creativity flourishes in America because freedom flourishes in America," Allen said. "The results are greater opportunity and liberty not only domestically, but around the world, especially if more people are allowed to taste the sweet nectar of freedom and liberty."

Thanks JennyE for pointing out the painful purple prose of this horrible, horrible man. I mean nice hat, boots, buckle. What is he trying to corner the Hillbilly football player vote?

What an effing psychopath.

She is calling for life in prison for anyone involved on the NY Times outing of the bank scandaql.  She says they should be in jail for life.  Then, Rev Al Sharpton tries to talk, and she just interrupts over and over and over again, bc REPUBLICANS JUST CAN'T HELP IT.  No one else is allowed to speak.. we should all just get out.  She is a liar.

THEN, she asks Sharpton, "well, what about your rights when a terroroist checks your secret info, huh?  Huh AL?"

Al's like, "um we ARE talking about the same administration that now feels the Times has outed them unfairly, that OUTED A CIA AGENT bc her husband DARED disagree with the war!"

She's like, "she wasn't covert."

Ugh, so stupid.  SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hateful and stupid.  Fine, call me an elitist.  I'd rather be an elitist with a non fat double caf soy milk latte than an asshole with his finger up his nose so far he punctured his already small brain.

Yeah, freedom ain't free, so roll back your tax cuts, assholes.

for a second or two.

Now she's screaming "I won't even DISCUSS Valerie Plame, it is irrelevant!"

No, lady with the collagen lips.  When speaking of OUTING, Valerie Plame and the OUTING of her "company" Brewster Jennings full of countless now unemployed CIA agents is COMPLETELY RELEVANT.

Again, I swear, if Dems pulled one fricking EIGTH of the crap these thugs do, the entire party would be shipped off to Guantanemo Bay.

Oh, and surprise, Matthews sucked the entire time.  You can catch the replay if you feel like screaming and breaking your TV at 7.

I was reading this bit on George Allen:  “He does have that Virginia drawl, there’s no question about it,” said Jim Kinney, the former dean of students at Allen’s high school, where Allen was the school quarterback. Asked by telephone whether Allen talked with an accent back then, Kinney, who still works near the old high school, replied, “No he really didn’t. He sounded like a kid in California, I thought.”

http://www.hillnews.com/thehill/export/TheHill/News/Frontpage/051105/allen.html

Having a Va. drawl might be kind of fun.  Anyone know where I can get lessons?  Is there, like, a Berlitz school?  Or a language program on CD ROM?

y'all could probly jest pick it up, if ya trahed hahd enuf.

Actually, I don't think his drawl is that thick, I think he just makes it up as he goes along.  Kind of like Kevin Costner in Robinhood.

that Webb may be able to make Allen cry after a debate.  And then his supporters can join him after we win this election.

I cannot wait!
