He’s a magic man
Maybe President Obama was saving the magic for a time when we really needed it.
We’ve been complaining for two years about the lack of music and passion in his big speeches. But if he’d moved the country when he was talking about health care or bailing out the auto industry, perhaps his words wouldn’t have been as powerful as they were when he was trying to lift the country up after the tragedy in Tucson.
While I’m sure the editorial board at the Old Gray Lady is excited that Barry got his mojo back, I don’t think that’s what was important. Collins continues:
For me, Obama’s best moment came when he warned that “what we can’t do is use this tragedy as one more occasion to turn on one another.” In his honor, I am not saying a word about Sarah Palin’s video.
Uh, paralipsis alert. You just did, you sanctimonious cow.
Wake Up!!
Maybe it is the cold.

It is eight twenty-one. Do you know where your moderator or front pagers are?
Maybe I made em mad.
WAKE UP YUH SLACKERS,
Well, EPA has taken over the air quality monitoring along the ship channel, and given Big O’s ongoing program to bring Texas to its knees economically, how long do you thing it will be until we see the same thing happening here that is happening in West Virginia? Shutting down a previously approved coal mining operation under the Clean Water… Read more »
Many thanks to all, for the good thoughts and prayers. Y’all are good folk and I’m glad to be here.
Headshaker;
I hope that things will go well with your daughter. God speed.
Some of life’s greatest trials as well as happiness are realized within the family.
Late to the party tonight. Prayers for your Mom, Bob, and for you.. May you both have peace through this difficult time.
I have seen both my parents through their final illnesses. Do all that can reasonably be done, and without guilt leave the rest to Providence.

That VHS tape was floating around different law offices in the mid 90’s, at the beginning, the idiot walks in the room without the stocking on and then puts it on so he can’t be recognized….all on tape. LOL
Is this how the propagandist press reported on Ochumma’s speech last night?
I bet all the usual suspect pundits were drooling all over themselves.

#105 TT Good lord, that deposition must be what used to happen in an insane asylum before they were all shut down. I could not figure out why the son was wearing a stocking over his head. Do people normally conceal their identity when they give a deposition? And did they only figure out they were being taped and attack… Read more »

Ted: LOL! Big mouth wasn’t so tough after a lamp kicked her azz, was she?
Tim, you enter this place at your own risk. I’m getting 3 ready to go off to college. You’re a big boy. /pats head
Darren old pal! It’s good to see you (and everyone else – even Sarge and Texpat although not sure the feeling is mutual!). I could use some kneemail from ya’ll also. My 23 year old daughter was spooked by her thyroid doctor today – her bloodwork results came back and her white blood cell count was on the low side.… Read more »

I can. Chances are, either my husband or I will have to watch the other one fade out from some illness or condition. Odds say that I as the female will be the watching one.
GJT #101;
That was pretty funny.
OMG – did you see this video, ST? It was next to your Texas disposition. If there’s anyone who probably knows the law, it’s the stockinged dude sitting next to his mother. I wonder if they sued the lawyers after stocking head knocked the lamp over and hit his momma on the head. Of course, the assault at the end… Read more »
ST, please don’t ever leave me alone with these people again! 😀
Tim: I liked the part where that 70 sumthin Indian lady called to justify the Medicine Man’s actions. MB: The people who died were all white and a jew. What did having him at their service have anything to with anything/ paraphrasing, of course. Bingo! The dude kinda creeped me out. I left the room. That was a pretty weird… Read more »
Bob, sorry to hear about your mom. (((HUGS))) Darren, no worries. I have the attention span of a fruit fly. 🙂 This is funny, I don’t keer who ya are. Just keep showing this video to all the yankees that are moving down here for a job. There’s a reason why we don’t tolerate crap around here. Deal with it.… Read more »
Rock on!!
ST;
I like to tease but I do back off when told to so; so just give the word. (Not that it’ll gurantee a tease free life from my remarks).
Tedtam;
Well, since I intended the lesson to be directed at bob, that may be true. 🙂
Bob, you know I luvs ya, man.
I did not see the Medicine Man last night at the pep rally, Michael Berry had me cryin on the way home talking about him. Fox News Channel’s Brit Hume commented on the prayer afterwards: Certainly the mood in that auditorium suggested the sense of mournfulness that you might have expected and sobriety you might have expected was not to… Read more »
ST;
Perhaps you’d be less angry if you’d just tell us all if horses taste like chicken? Besides, I think the slaughter industry was making good use of a good resource.
#68 Pyro: Why do you always post crap like that? You know that it makes me angry. /sharpens filet knives
When they figure out how to fix this problem, come back and talk to me.
As for commenting about Shakey, I’m with GTO. Can we say drama queen? LOL! BTW, Eye on the Sparrow was mama’s favorite song. /wipes tears
#93 Darren We’ve already discussed Purgatory in our discussion of the communion of saints. Last night we started off with the article “Save the Best for Sunday” out of Envoy magazine, which discussed the importance – and obligation – of attending Mass on Sunday. That was a hard concept to get into their heads; I don’t think another lesson on… Read more »

Maybe she can take a kitten or two with her. 😉

Tedtam, does this segway into lessons on Pergatory?
(btw, Bob, brilliant idea 🙂 )
Headshaker;
What’s up my man! Haven’t seen you in a looooooong while.
Bob #77;
My heart goes out to you, man. You and your mother will be in my thoughts and prayers. God please you sir for the tender attention you’ve given to your mother.
Thoughts and prayers are with you Bob.

Shannon and I have buried both of our parents – our father in 2000 and mother in 2006.
I cannot imagine anything more difficult unless it would be for one to have to bury their very own child.
#77 Bob,
I’ve been through that process twice – once with my Mom and once with my Dad. Each time was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. My prayers are certainly with you, and your Mom.
#70 – Good grief whatta buncha hosers!
It took em 25 years to decide Dire Straits needs the “Tipper Gore treatment” but they’re “proud” of THESE GUYS?
The story behind Grenade Boy.
Wait until you meet him.

Still, I will be glad to see the last of KBH. She seems a bit whiny since being rejected for Tex gov, like we let her down, when she really wanted to move back to Texas but still have a government job (/boo hoo hoo). Who are the good “R” candidates to replace her?

Yabbut I’m the one who started the crude thread.

Hmm, this pic does not resemble a real American child…
Hambone is a not-so-benevolent dictator. He will allow almost anything submitted as long as there is no profanity, no negative comments about The Esteemed HeadShaker, and no unflattering pictures of HeadShaker during his “explosive growth years”. Language is only offensive if it offends someone. The test is, if your comments would offend Hambone’s grandmother they will be deleted and you… Read more »

Prayers for you & your family for what must be a really tough time.
We’re up to chapter 6 in The Hobbit, where Bilbo finds the ring, meets Gollum, and they exchange riddles. Mom is not doing well. I’m not in denial of the realities of her conditions, but at the same time am not counting her out of the game yet. On my way back to the hospital this morning I picked up… Read more »
HeadShaker represents himself in public to be a male. However, he is severely gender confused and has a wicked feminine side.
Spends a lot of time down off lower Westheimer hiding out from the IRS, constables looking to serve papers, attorneys and several loan sharks.
My sentimental favorite:
All this reminiscing reminded me of the page that got me hooked on “separated at birth” type pics:
A Photographic History of Michael Jackson’s Face With blithering, yet witty commentary
#69 Great. Just great. Now we can look forward to two more years of seeing Howdy Doody’s mug all over the television.
