Did not see a VOX heads up today but I thought that might have been my computer…..so shot in the dark and here you are.

Evening, all. How is everyone tonight?
glenn

R’s next move,drum roll please……….More BENGHAZI!!!!!!
Beatlex

Vox is always here just clap your hands three times
adlib7 days ago
Hi beatlex!
adlib7 days ago
Hey Glenn
adlib7 days ago
Beatlex–Noooooo—I’m benghazied out! I did hear that President Obama had a hangnail during the benghazi crisis and that made him angry, so he went to SOS Clinton and said that he had a hangnail and he wanted to tear it out, and she said, What difference does it make? And, they both kept this conversation from the Americn people, and then denied it ever took place, so we all know that they’re both liars and that they’re trying to destroy this country! Do I have it about right?
glenn
7 days ago
Hey AdLib–how goes it?
glenn
7 days ago
Maybe there’s a vaccine for Benghazi?
adlib7 days ago
Ad–but you can choose not to take the benghazi vaccine, because….freedom!
glenn
7 days ago
Glenn – Hangnailgate?
adlib7 days ago
Hi everyone. Just came in on Hangnailgate? Well…sure.
choicelady
7 days ago
Ad–coud be, but I think Issa and Gowdy need to investigate. And, of course, if the hangnail is on the right or left hand makes a difference, so what the hell does Clinton know?
glenn
7 days ago
Hangnailgate with an RPG up someone elses Chopper!
pinkpantheroz

Hi CL
adlib7 days ago
Todays OBAMASCANDAL DU JOUR…..the prayer breakfast UNLESS you actually saw it or read the transcript.
murphthesurf3
7 days ago
Hey CL–I’m just practicing being a republican. Sometimes it’s fun. It’s so nice to be insane, no one asks you to explain.
glenn
7 days ago
Hey right back, AdLib. In case you want to know, K. has not even replied to my request to talk. Well and truly peeved, I am.
choicelady
7 days ago
Murph – loved what the Prez said at the Prayer Breakfast. BTW – there is one here in Sacto every year. My organization is never even invited. We’re THRILLED! Who wants to sit through THAT?
choicelady
7 days ago
This I know will upset some people, but, just for a few seconds, I wish we still had napalm!
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
PPO – no. Under the circumstances, a little well place napalm on the GOP caucus toilet seats kinda appeals. Not on THEM, but…
choicelady
7 days ago
Cl, I was runinating on ISIS’ latest obscenity
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
PPO – well, I don’t think I could go there. I’m not nearly Old Testament enough. But life imprisonment in harsh settings, yeah. I could do that.
choicelady
7 days ago
PPO–I am encouraged by the Jordanians fighting their own battles. It’s nice to see a muslim country fighting back against the terrorists.
glenn
7 days ago
BRB!
adlib7 days ago
PPO – I am so sickened by what happened to that pilot I cannot even really even talk about it.
choicelady
7 days ago
you got that right, glenn. Here’s hoping more and more join in
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
glenn – and that is precisely what PBO has wanted. Give people the room to determine their own actions, yes.
choicelady
7 days ago
CL–I know, but PBO is not flying the drones, so he’s still a weak leader, dontcha know?
glenn
7 days ago
Right, CL. It’s also good that, for once, the GOP isn’t blaming it on PBO………………….yet
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
PPO–I agree. Let’s let them fight it out for a change.
glenn
7 days ago
glenn – yeah. Right. Weak. Uh huh. Now I see how being a pretend GOP would mean no one would ask you to defend your insanity.
choicelady
7 days ago
PPO – Yet being the operative word.
choicelady
7 days ago
glenn,lol,that should cover it!
Beatlex
7 days ago
glenn – It’s not, to me, so much about their fighting it out as their having real control over their own destinies rather than acting as we direct. The outcome is therefore THEIRS.
choicelady
7 days ago
OK, now the most important question of the week. What did we think of SB49 and the incredible call??
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
Everyone – in case you’re interested, it’s storming, pouring rain here. Luckily I have almost all the homeless folks off the streets in shelter. I’ve never been so HAPPY!
choicelady
7 days ago
PPO – Duh – what’s SB 49?
choicelady
7 days ago
SUPERBOWL!
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
PPO – Ohhhhhhh. Ok. I liked it because I lived in New England, but I’d have been fine with Seattle, too.
choicelady
7 days ago
Congrats, CL. Well done with giving shelter
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
PPO – I lobby. SB 49 is, to me, a bill number. I’d forgotten it was the number of the Super Bowl.
choicelady
7 days ago
gotta go guys,Have fun!
Beatlex
7 days ago
PPO – I have two in housing, two in great rehab, one with a waterproof tent, and a sixth back east in shelter for the time being.
choicelady
7 days ago
Sorry, CL, can’t rememb er the Roman Numerals!
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
Gosh Beatlex – sorry to see you go! Take care and have a great weekend!
choicelady

See ya, Beatlex
pinkpantheroz

pinkpantheroz

IXL I think is 49…
choicelady
7 days ago
CL–I had some fun the other day, trying to get some insane conservatives to explain how PBO is trying to destroy this country. I asked them to give me specific examples of how he is destroying this counry. I know you’re going to find this hard to believe, but not one of them answered me. Of course, I posted a couple of PBO’s accomplishments–lowering the deficit by two-thirds, getting millions of people access to what one poster told me was the “greatest health care system in the world”, lowering unemployment to under 6%, and they all called me the usual names. You know, “liberal moron” Obamabot, etc. and of course kept on telling me how PBO was destroying the country. I kept telling them I had given them specific examples, and would they please give me examples of the “desruction”, but….crickets. So if you’re a republican, even if someone asks you to explain, you don’t have to.
glenn
7 days ago
No – that can’t be right. That’d be 59. I think. Well you can see the superiority of Arabic numbers here.
choicelady
7 days ago
G’night Beatlex! Sorry you couldn’t stay longer.
glenn
7 days ago
glenn – that’s the same crickets I get from the Left, too. All posture, no facts.
choicelady

49 in Roman Numerals XLIX
murphthesurf3
7 days ago
CL–kudos to you!
glenn
7 days ago
Murph – THAT’S IT! Thank you. I can see where I went wrong.
choicelady
7 days ago
PPO–I wanted Seattle to win so badly. Sorry, fellow Planeteers, but I hate the Patriots. Couldn’t believe they won at the last minute like that! Really pissed me off!
glenn
7 days ago
glenn – why do you hate the Pats? Only teams I dislike are Sunbelt teams. Otherwise, all good, IMHO.
choicelady
7 days ago
CL–beause I think they’re arrogant cheaters. A couple of years back, they got cheating, but nothing ever happened. Also, as a former Dolphins fan, I don’t like the way they played their games against the fins. Shoveled the snow away for their place kicker, but not for the Dolphins kicker. And, I think Bellichik is an asshole. Just my opinion….
glenn
7 days ago
Oops–got caught cheating….
glenn
7 days ago
glenn – that proves you know waaaaay more than I about the teams. I just root for the cities, nothing more. I did not even watch, just was pleased since I love New England.
choicelady
7 days ago
CL–Yes, I am a football. Gotta love those tight ends!
glenn
7 days ago
glenn – only team I knew much about was Buffalo Bills when I lived there, and even that wasn’t much.
choicelady
7 days ago
glenn – LOL!!!
choicelady
7 days ago
OMG! I cannot type tonight. Yes, I am a football fan!
glenn
7 days ago
glenn – I understood. You’re far too smart to be a football.
choicelady
7 days ago
glenn – when our friend, Cher, was here, she used to say she had dyslexia of the fingers some nights. It has happened to us all.
choicelady
7 days ago
CL–if I were a football, I’m afraid I’m way too inflated in some places, and way too deflated in others!
glenn
7 days ago
I am not ignoring this football discussion…I really hate professional sports….I live in a city where our football team is asking for a new stadium when the last one is not yet paid for….and don’t get me started on tv revenue….meanwhile we are cutting programs left and right (mostly left)
murphthesurf3
7 days ago
glenn- Those who hate Obama hide behind made up reasons. Saying they’re racist is all they’re doing their best to avoid.
adlib7 days ago
Murph–yes, that’s my dichotomy (sp). I love watching the game, but hate the way the league is run. The same is happening here. The Falcons are getting a brand new stadium, on the taxpayers’ dime, too.
glenn
7 days ago
Murph- you live in Sacramento??? Every dime of gov’t resources is going into the Money Pit of the new downtown arena for basketball. I hate this!
choicelady
7 days ago
glenn and Murph – when Buffalo spent its meager resources beefing up the luxury boxes at the Bills’ stadium it should have been named “Citizens” stadium but was named for the owner who sucked up our money as if he were a vacuum.
choicelady
7 days ago
Ad–I could (almost) understand if they could at least tell me those made-up reasons. But to just say he is “destroying the country” doesn’t make any sense to me.
glenn
7 days ago
glenn – that’s all you get because that’s all they have. Nothing.
choicelady
7 days ago
CL–Well, nothing but their hypocrisy. I love how getting your children vaccinated is a “choice”, where your children can infect others; but something as personal as an abortion, which hurts no one else, is not a choice.
glenn
7 days ago
glenn – anything ‘freedum’ is fine, but wimmin don’t have any.
choicelady
7 days ago
CL–good point about the name of the stadium. All stadiums should have some form of “citizens” or “taxpayers” in the names, since we’re the ones who pay for them.
glenn
7 days ago
glenn – Yup. Should be. Aren’t.
choicelady
7 days ago
Before we begin tonight can I propose a moment of silence for all the brave soldiers that we lost in the sack of Jerusalem?
funksands
7 days ago
glenn – That’s the point, “He’s destroying the country!” IS their made up reason, that’s as intellectual as they can get in their phony excuses.
adlib7 days ago
funk = Silence indeed. For all on both sides.
choicelady
7 days ago
Hiya Planeteers!

choicelady

Hey Funk!
glenn
7 days ago
Hey Sabreen!
glenn
7 days ago
1099 wasn’t that long ago folks.
funksands
7 days ago
Murph – OK now you’ve done it. Conspiracy theorists will be ON YOU TONIGHT!
choicelady
7 days ago
funk – it wasn’t that early was it?
choicelady
7 days ago
Nice Murph. Way to do justice to our brave men and wom…uh men in uniform
funksands
7 days ago
Yep, that was the biggie CL, end of the First Crusades
funksands
7 days ago
CL – you would be proud of me. I was a big girl today and had my breast biopsy!
sabreen60
7 days ago
Thought it was a bit later. But I wasn’t there. Not THAT old.
choicelady
7 days ago
Ad–call me a “liberal moron”, but “He’s destroying the country” doesn’t tell me anything.
glenn
7 days ago
Sabreen – when will you know and was it awful? My stomach is squinching for you!
choicelady
7 days ago
Of course Jerusalem was also sacked in the 500’s, 600’s and 1200’s. Most people don’t realize that it was sacked primarily because of poor Yelp reviews
funksands
7 days ago
glenn – you’re the opposite of liberal moron. You’re quite right.
choicelady
7 days ago
Sabreen–proud of you!
glenn
7 days ago
funk – but Islam did not even start until late 600s did it? Who sacked? Who WAS sacked? Hard to remember these things.
choicelady
7 days ago
The Crusaders sacked Jerusalem in 1099
funksands
7 days ago
Mostly because by the time they got there, they were starving
funksands
7 days ago
Funk–what is the matter with you? There you go again with those pesky facts!
glenn
7 days ago
Hey Sabreen!
adlib7 days ago
I have a great if ponderous book noting that the image of Christ on the Cross – the sacrificial martyrdom – was Charlemagne but not before that. “Which side are you one and will you suffer and die for Christ” is a relatively recent thing beginning with the Crusades and the blood images. “Saving Paradise” by Rita Nakashimi Brock is well worth a read if you have the time and patience for that.
choicelady
7 days ago
They did mange to slaughter 10,000 muslims hiding in mosques around the area though. There’s that. Almost 75% of the knights died
funksands
7 days ago
funk – and you can see how well THAT worked out since we’re still doing it all today.
choicelady
7 days ago
CL – I have a needle phobia, which I told to my doctor. She understood and injected more pain mediciene and waited longer for it to take. So, no it was not bad. And for me to say that it really something. So for all the ladies and to the men who have ladies in their lives whom they love, if they need a biopsy, please tell them to have one. I had microcalcifications and should know the results by Tuesday.
sabreen60
7 days ago
CL, yeah things have simmered right down haven’t they?
funksands
7 days ago
Sabreen – that’s a good doc! I’m glad it wasn’t awful, and I want you to have a clean bill of health!
choicelady
7 days ago
Sabreen, are you worried? Is that why you went? Or is it just precautionary?
funksands
7 days ago
Choice, the most common Christian symbols in the early church were the Fish (Icthos) and the plain cross.
murphthesurf3
7 days ago
funk – oh, yeah. The Mideast is just one freaking bed of roses now.
choicelady
7 days ago
glenn – What it should tell you is that they don’t have a political reason to hate Obama. They hate him for other reasons and hide behind vague, sweeping comments.
adlib7 days ago
Yup – that and the representation of Eden. Thanks a lot Charlemagne – made it all disgustingly bloody, vicious, and corrupt.
choicelady
7 days ago
AdLib – Race I am convinced is the only reason they hate PBO.
choicelady
7 days ago
CL–Thanks for the compliment, but please don’t tell me I’m “right”. I’d rather be “correct”. (Just a little liberal humor)
glenn
7 days ago
All right, enough about the damn crusades
funksands
7 days ago
Don’t tell anyone but the real Templer secret is…he’s really The Saint!
adlib7 days ago
glenn – I almost ALWAYS say “correct” and I’m very sorry! Your ARE correct you’re correct.
choicelady
7 days ago
Love that Biden is skipping the Netanyahu speech.
funksands
7 days ago
Choice
murphthesurf3
7 days ago
AdLib – I liked the Saint. I never understood the double meaning until recently.
choicelady
7 days ago
Murph – Yup. Once was pacific, bringing about Eden on earth, not this warmongering crap Christianity turned into and that we fight to this day.
choicelady
7 days ago
Ad–I know, I know, I just keep trying. Actually, I was having fun on the website being the “token” liberal. It gave them all someone else to hate besides President Obama. And, I made sure I referred to him as President Obama every time just to piss them off.
glenn
7 days ago
Funk – I had two mammograms that showed microcalcifications, which are suspicious. About 80% are nothing, but 20% can be pre-cancerous or cancer. Macrocalcifications are always non-cancerous. Naturally, I’d have the kind that raises the red flag.
sabreen60
7 days ago
Let’s get Brian Williams to set this whole Templar thing straight!
glenn! A woman after my own heart. Our motto at work is “I live to piss off the Religious Right”.
choicelady

Funk I had not heard about Biden vis a vis Netanyahu
murphthesurf3
7 days ago
sigh
funksands
7 days ago
FUNK Did your brain down load to Vox?
murphthesurf3
7 days ago
Yep, Murph he’s “skipping” it. Bibi is giving his speech in front of 100 empty chairs
funksands
7 days ago
Funk–love Biden’s excuse, too. Oops…prior engagement. If you and boner had just let me know that you (bibi) were coming, I’d have “baked a cake”.
glenn
7 days ago
Murph – Yes, Biden won’t go. And Netanyahu is now pretending Boehner misled him into thinking PBO approved. I doubt that. He’s coming here anyway.
choicelady
7 days ago
Yeah Glenn, I know “Whoops, sorry if I’d only known” lol
funksands
7 days ago
Funk – You have to click on a photo and copy the URL that ends with a graphics extension like “jpg” or “png”. When you click on a graphic on a search page, you get that kind of gobbledygook code.
adlib7 days ago
Ad i forgot
funksands
7 days ago
AdLib – I sort of like the mystery graphic…
choicelady
7 days ago
Funk…who else in the 100?
murphthesurf3
7 days ago
CL–No need to apologize–I knew you wouldn’t think of me that way! And, as I keep telling my granddaughter, I’m always correct!
glenn
7 days ago
Murph, I head other Democrats say they are coming to hear Bibi. I wish every Democratic member would not attend.
sabreen60
7 days ago
Someone said on Twitter that Bibi threw Boehner under the bus, but another said he’d been tossed there so often he had tire marks.
choicelady
7 days ago
I hope no Dems at all listen to this war criminal
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
funksands
7 days ago
PPO and Sabreen – I also wish no Dem would go.
choicelady
7 days ago
funk – like that!
choicelady

Murph – Meant are NOT coming….
sabreen60
7 days ago
Indiana Jones and the Templar of Doom!
adlib7 days ago
Sabreen – that is good news!
choicelady
7 days ago
AdLib – too funny!
choicelady
7 days ago
Lewis, Clyburn, Griejelva, Lee, etc etc
funksands
7 days ago
Sab…I understood
murphthesurf3
7 days ago
What Dems are really pushing for is a postponment so everyone can save face
funksands
7 days ago
Sabreen – hope all works out well for you
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
Sabreen, have you considered upping your alcohol intake? I hear that helps with microcalcifications
funksands
7 days ago
I just wish someone would tell Bibi he’s not welcome in the People’s Place. Go somewhere else, like K street
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
funk – that’s hardly sound medical advice!!!
choicelady
7 days ago
Funk – Yep, this is a very good thing, that Dems, Biden and Obama are refusing to allow Nut-And-Yahoo to intrude in our government decisions. Rescheduling would blow up Nutter’s and Boehner’s plans…which are honestly already in tatters.
adlib7 days ago
Works for me, CL!
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
Sabreen and Murph–Read today where bibi admitted he is trying to “lobby” Congress to override the veto that PBO has promised. Also read that a Dem, can’t remember which one, said that it’s a clear choice between supporting the leader of your own country, or supporting the leader of a foreign country. And, the MSM narrative should say exactly that, and every Dem and every repub who attends should be called out for supporting a leader of a foreign country over the leader of this one. At least Rep. Lewis, who, thankfully, is the one GA Congress critter I admire, has already stated unequivocally he is not attending. Good for him!
glenn
7 days ago
funksands
7 days ago
CL, maybe, but its GOOD medical advice
funksands
7 days ago
funk – MY cat could do that. What’s your point!
choicelady
7 days ago
funk – it’s good life advice. Medical? Not so much.
choicelady
7 days ago
Funk–fuck “saving face”. Neither boner nor bibi should be allowed to “save face.” Live with your damn decisions, and if you get mud on your face from them, then too damn bad!
glenn
7 days ago
Glenn, well said.
funksands
7 days ago
glenn – sound points all. My sister-in-law went to high school with the Netanyahu brothers, but I don’t know what she thought of them.
choicelady

Thank you, PPO. I get the results next Tuesday.
sabreen60

Sabreen – keep us posted please? We will worry. Hope it all turns out just GREAT!
choicelady

Funk–I rarely use profanity on this site; I want people to think I am smart enough to not have to resort to that; but sometimes, it’s the only thing that says what I want.
glenn

choicelady

Do please let us know next Vox, Sabreen. we’ll be sweating with you!
pinkpantheroz

funksands

AdLib – that’s right up there with the Larouchites.
choicelady
7 days ago
Ad, so true
funksands
7 days ago
Funk–saucy, indeed! That’s me!
glenn
7 days ago
glenn – I think that’s absolutely right. I wrote my Congressperson and told him I sure hope he’s not attending. These Dems need to have some guts for once.
sabreen60

Forgot to title the photo: “Netanyahu speaks to Congress about Israel’s greatest enemy.”

“Obama’s mother discovered to have birth certificate in Nazi Gernmany!”
adlib7 days ago
Obama should totally grow a fierce black goatee for his last year in office. That would be cool
funksands

PPO – That’s right up there with blaming PBO for Pearl Harbor because he was born in Hawaii.
choicelady

Alright, folks, now that I’ve gotten the “sauciness” out of my system, I’ve got to go. My wonderful son-in-law and daughter are coming early tomorrow morning to work through my “honey-do” list. My son-in-law is the “do-er”; my daughter and I are the supervisors. Anyway, gotta get up early, so I’ve got to go. Thanks for letting me vent; I love you guys. Have a great weekend.

glenn- have a grand weekend. Any time you can get your SIL to do work, you’re ahead of the game. Good for him. Good for you! Have a great weekend!
choicelady

Sabreen – that’s wise. Don’t filter the tequila via funk. Do it straight from the source!
choicelady

Sabreen, not MY blood. That would be deadly. I’m sure Choice still has a few good pints sloshing around in there

I think with PPO and funk out for the mo, that it’s down to Sabreen, Murph, you and me, Ad. So where IS everyone tonight? I’m the one with the wind and rain…
choicelady
7 days ago
AdLib – are you getting any of this storm down there?
Sabreen – would ANYTHING cause GOP heads to explode more than a hat tip to Black identity?
choicelady

BTW – I saw my first – and hope my last – “Ben Carson 2016” sticker yesterday.
choicelady

I take a shot anytime someone says “funk”

Ooops
funksands

Well CL – Whatever it is, I sure wish he would do it. He’s got the swagger. I say take it to the next level.

funk – as a trained historian (don’t try this at home) I cannot recall a time in our history where so many were so demented and dangerous.
choicelady
7 days ago
Funk – I agree. If could have “999” surely, we can have Ben Carson.
sabreen60
7 days ago
.With that being the prerequisite to hold office
funksands
7 days ago
Damn right!
funksands

murphthesurf3

I am back..where are we….
murphthesurf3

Sabreen – why did the Religous Right not notice that 999 is really an upside down 666?
choicelady

Murph – we’re discussing the joy of a Ben Carson run for president. I saw a sticker yesterday proclaiming support.
choicelady

CL – IOKIYAR !
sabreen60

Sabreen – yeah. I know…
choicelady

By the way, its RealBen Carson. Apparently RealBen is a family name???
funksands

funk – works for me. RealBen had a follower. A White follower. After gagging, I laughed.

You know I read Carson’s autobiography years ago. Even gave it to my son to read. It was a good read. I really believe that aggressive form of prostate cancer damaged his head. No the other head.

Sabreen, I’ve heard of famous surgeons kind of going off the rails a bit mentally. The whole “playing god” thing. Do you think that’s at play here. (And yes I did see that Alec Baldwin movie)
funksands

Sabreen!!!! That is a serious possibility! I know someone who had surgery and came out less than stellar mentally. Unfortunately she did our taxes. We are STILL having trouble with the tax folks since she filed someone ELSE’s taxes in our name.

Funk…..Carson in Mo? A black….a republican….you must be kidding…they did not buy Mr. 999 either…I suppose as a political jockey boy in front of the GOP HQ it might work

Sabreen – I actually heard a homeless Republican family moved into Carson’s head at his invitation and called their new home, “spacious”.

We don’t have state taxes in Washington State. Everything here is settled by barter

Carson has said some really stupid shit. But for him to say their was no race problem in this country until President Obama became President really tells me all I need to know.

CL – Rand Paul really damaged himself this week, the anti-vaccine thing destroyed the facade of sensible he was building and exposed him as the nutjob he is. Not a deathblow but what a great hammer to pound him with in any campaign.

We now have a Republican governor in our very blue state of Maryland. I listened to part of his State of the State address. Maryland has one of the best school systems in the nation. But our new wonderful governor wants to cut funds for education and have more charter schools. So much for good standing in education.

AdLib – I’m not sure but what the anti-vax, freedumb stuff DID become the final nail in the coffins of both Paul and Christie as prez.

I have to say it – I MISS MITT!!! We have to gin up a whole new set of jokes, dammit.
choicelady

Funk – I don’t know, Repubs too slapped down that nuttiness and Rand scrambled to contradict everything he said. So not only does he look like a nutter, he looks like a dishonest one.
adlib7 days ago
AdLib – well Rand is always dishonest, but he finally got caught at it.

We turned off cable, so I get about 10 channels with an antenna. I saw part of Democracy Now with Amy Goodman, who had a anti-vaxxer on her show. It was unbelievable.

Sabreen, that one really surprised me. Even with mid-terms. Rumor is it was all about a stupid water tax. Really riled people up to vote anti-O’Malley

Ad, does that matter?

CL – True but on the other hand, Mitt being slamdunked by his own party as a loser nobody wants is a sweet ending to the Mitt story.

Sabreen – apparently most of the unvaccinated at Disneyland were upper middle class white liberals from Northern CA. They have become as fact free as climate deniers.

Funk – Well, to RWs, he’ll look untrustworthy since he didn’t stand by his loony comments.
adlib7 days ago
AdLib – well, OK, that part was golden, but still – I now actually have to pay attention to the herd. And figure out why each of them is worse than the rest.
choicelady

AdLib – he’s flip flopping like Mitt – Rand is the new weather vane candidate, and he keeps claiming he ‘never said’ what the videos show he said.

Funk – We Marylanders looovvve our blue crabs from the Bay. However, all the runoff water is killing the Bay. So EPA said it would tax XBillions to clean up the Bay. A small tax on homeowers. But nooooo. So Dems either didn’t show up and/or voted for the “no tax” Republican. It will be interesting to see what will happen when we have no more crabs.

Sabreen, some of my happiest memories are sitting around a picnic table covered in butcher paper and a two-foot high wall of spicy blue crab. Good stuff

CL, Funk – Yep. But some people want something for nothing. I’ve been eating blue craps since I was a kid. Once before the Bay was in bad shape and the crabs disappeared. So it’s not like it can’t happen again.

Back AGAIN……the phone…I wanted to share about Measles….one of my neighbors is on the school board and was all in favor of giving parents the option to innoculate….her husband was too until their daughter, a nurse, brought him all kinds of material on the dangers…and drove it home. NOW she is a crusader for innoculation and says kids who are not immunized do not belong “in school, in clubs, on the playground, on a bus, or in a shop” because of what they might carry. knowledge.

Well, the talkie bar is closing down, so I shall exit too….until next week.
As a great way to share this experience, PlanetPOV is hosting a live chat (live typed comments) tonight to discuss the night's results as they come in along with everything else this election will bring and what folks think it will mean for the future.
It is long past time to stop playing Trump’s game of racism, hate, misogyny, and abject greed. If Trump is elected, he will end democracy as we know it. Harris will preserve it and work to make it better and far more inclusive so we can have it, as Lincoln said, a more perfect union. It will only happen if you vote.
