Displaying 421 To 450 Of 889 Comments Friday Music — Deck the Halls with Ho-Ho-Ho!! You have totally picked my all time favourite carol, Khirad – melancholia is my middle name 😀 The Sussex carol is a little more upbeat though (apologies if this has already been posted)
» Posted By Mightywoof On December 17, 2010 @ 12:59 pm Scheherazade will be pleased as will all right (as in correct 🙂 ) thinking people! Thanks Khirad. I hope Scher returns soon – I’m really interested to hear whether she managed to attend the trial. » Posted By Mightywoof On January 29, 2010 @ 9:42 am I wondered whether it was satire also bito – or, as kes suggested, some kind of Doomsday scenario (his mention of Medicaid/Medicare being eliminated made me wonder). Thanks both – I’m glad I’m not the only one who was puzzled 🙂 Woof » Posted By Mightywoof On January 26, 2010 @ 9:05 am Did anybody read Gary Hart’s blog at Huff yesterday? I try very hard to follow the intricacies of American politics and many times I’m left in the dust in perplexity but this blog has me really puzzled! He sounds as if he’s really in the throes of terrible depression. I’d appreciate anybody’s thoughts on it – just sign me Puzzled Canadian! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/gary-hart/the-end-of-big-government_b_436086.html » Posted By Mightywoof On January 26, 2010 @ 6:01 am 🙂 – hey back atcha bito! Everything’s just hunky dory above the line although there are times I wish someone would take our Stephen Harper – he’s way too right wing for me (but *sigh* would be considered a raging socialist below the line 🙂 ) » Posted By Mightywoof On January 21, 2010 @ 1:07 pm I have tears in my eyes as well, Hope …… it surely does ones heart good to see joy in the midst of so much suffering » Posted By Mightywoof On January 21, 2010 @ 12:44 pm I may be biased AB but I think everybody should be Canadian – we are delightfully boring people 🙂 You may worship where you wish – me, I’m off to the Temple of Wok!! » Posted By Mightywoof On November 30, 2010 @ 5:11 pm I’ve been feeling very Bah Humbuggy recently and this really lifted my spirits, Kes, so I’m glad it did the same for you!! If I hear one more Jingle Bells I may just lose it 😆 » Posted By Mightywoof On November 30, 2010 @ 5:07 pm I’m afraid the conversation in Marion’s latest thread about the 7 mountain goats – ummmmm, that wasn’t right – the 7 whatevers 😆 has left me feeling very depressed. But then a friend sent me this – if you’re up for one more flash mob doing their thing (and you love Handel’s Halleluja Chorus from the Messiah) then listen to this From a food court somewhere in Welland, Ontario
» Posted By Mightywoof On November 30, 2010 @ 1:08 pm Yeah ….. and the goalie was having a really bad day. » Posted By Mightywoof On November 17, 2010 @ 5:49 pm I kinda guessed you’ve probably heard all the nurse jokes under the sun 🙂 I love blonde jokes ( and always feel guilty about laughing) » Posted By Mightywoof On November 17, 2010 @ 11:45 am ……… and the surprise backseat driver was funny as all get out 🙂 » Posted By Mightywoof On November 17, 2010 @ 7:46 am An upfront confession here – I am a soccer widow! Every weekend during the English soccer season (and weeknights sometimes) a soccer game or three is on TV and my hubby is glued to it/them – especially if it’s Manchester United. Back in the UK I actually went to soccer games. All this is by way of saying – OMG Khirad, that’s the funniest video I’ve ever seen 😆 ; talk about two left feet!! » Posted By Mightywoof On November 17, 2010 @ 7:44 am I don’t know if this is an appropriate place to post jokes (and if it isn’t perhaps someone can point me in the right – as in correct 😆 – direction). I received this in an email this morning and immediately thought of Kes: A very tired nurse walks into a bank, totally exhausted after an 18-hour shift. Preparing to write a cheque, she pulls a rectal thermometer out of her purse and tries to write with it. When she realizes her mistake, she looks at the flabbergasted teller and without missing a beat, she says: ‘Well, that’s great….that’s just great…. some asshole’s got my pen!’ Myabe I haven’t had enough coffee this morning but it really tickled my funny bone » Posted By Mightywoof On November 17, 2010 @ 4:27 am That made me larf out loud Khirad (hubby’s giving me an odd look 😆 ) » Posted By Mightywoof On November 15, 2010 @ 6:02 pm I’d be more inclined to say Oh FFS – I don’t know how people can get any dumber than they already are but every day I wake up and find they’ve managed to do it 🙄 » Posted By Mightywoof On November 15, 2010 @ 4:47 pm ye gods – that is desperate 😆 » Posted By Mightywoof On October 29, 2010 @ 12:27 pm I grew up in a socialist household but, when Maggie Thatcher arrived on the scene, they all turned into ragin Tories – their genes must have become defective 🙁 » Posted By Mightywoof On October 29, 2010 @ 12:24 pm Happy Birthday Boomer!! Kes – breaking news today ……….. the Repubs can’t help being the way they are, they’re genetically deficient Researchers find a ‘liberal gene’ http://www.physorg.com/news/2010-10-liberal-gene.html Maybe one day they can be cured!! » Posted By Mightywoof On October 29, 2010 @ 10:42 am I wish they’d done some kind of analysis on these numbers, Kes. Using my handy-dandy calculator (and hoping my opposing thumbs did not hit the wrong keys) I came up with the following (excluding any amount below $100 grand): Repubs – $46,419,446 If you exclude both parties’ congress and senate spending you get: Repubs – $41,686,393 So while the Dems war chest is bigger than the Repubs ($8.4 million vs $4.7 million), they cannot compete with Repubs private interest spending – a whopping 204% more than the Dems! I sure hope the vast American Public – you know, those normal folks out there – are not as stupid as I’m beginning to fear they are » Posted By Mightywoof On September 24, 2010 @ 9:26 am *passes smelling salts to Buffy …. errr Kes 😆 * Good for them, bito!! It is so offensive to have multi-million dollar CEO’s demand their employees be paid like serfs – there is such a disconnect between those who run a company and those who actually do the work! Since when did ‘worker’ become an epithet to hurl at people? Since when did Robber Barons become so admired? This Age of Greed is stunning to any right-minded person (and I don’t mean Right – I mean correct 😆 ) Solidarity forever bito – fight the good fight!! » Posted By Mightywoof On September 15, 2010 @ 5:37 am I didn’t realise that the repubs had been bleating about this for so long! Do they not realize – or do they not care – what it means to be stateless? Do they really want the US to join with countries such as Bangladesh, Kuwait, the Dominican Republic, Malaysia and Syria (among many others) in having stateless children in your country – they will be condemning those children to a life as a non-person, a refugee, the scum of the earth! For many years, hubby and I have supported Plan Canada and for the last few years have been giving to their Universal Birth Registration campaign. As Plan International Chief Executive Officer Nigel Chapman said: At a glance, it » Posted By Mightywoof On September 15, 2010 @ 5:30 am I read your post last night Khirad and I’ve pondered about your not wishing to call those who are against the ‘mosque’ bigots – prefering to think they are merely misinformed. At first glance I would agree with you but, on reflection, I have to ask why – if anybody is uninformed about a subject – is their first reaction one of kneejerking against the ‘other’; why would not their first reaction be a questioning of the news reports? If I hear someone ranting against something my first response is to look into exactly what’s going on – nobody rants if they have an informed opinion. I may disagree or agree with the opinion but it’s not helpful, and indeed it’s very destructive, to rant. In my roundabout fashion I guess I’m trying to say that those who are uninformed but still feel they must rail against a non-mosque are, in their hearts, bigoted as they are very quick to believe the worst of the other based on nothing more than some pretty-boy/girl talking head telling them that the other is bad. And in all honesty – even if this non-mosque at non-GZ were a mosque, so what? There are churches and temples in close proximity – what’s so upsetting about a mosque unless you believe that those ‘arbas’ *snark* are less than equal to an American citizen? That, to me (informed or uninformed), is bigotry. » Posted By Mightywoof On September 15, 2010 @ 5:02 am Sometimes it appears that the loudest voice wins the argument *sigh* – good for Rushdie. I only read the first page of comments – I cannot believe how outrageous folks are on the ‘other side’ of this debate (and I use that term loosely). This has truly turned into a war against all of Islam in their minds. Good luck to them if they think they can win a war like that ….. and they think America’s broke now?? Oh yeah – it’s the fault of the poor and the unemployed, isn’t it – grrrr. Their teeny-tiny little brains can’t wrap around the fact that there was a mosque in the WTC, there are two mosques in proximity already, the coat factory has been used as a mosque for over a year, there’s a mosque/prayer room in the Pentagon for gosh sake but it’s still insensitive to build a community centre 2 blocks from WTC. I would have a tad more sympathy for their argument if they were insisting that the WTC site be a memorial site – all commerce should be banned from both that site and a five square mile radius …. that takes care of Mammon, strip and burger joints, any and all religions and anything else that could be considered ‘offensive’ to anyone!! I know, I know – they’re not bigots but …… 😆 » Posted By Mightywoof On September 14, 2010 @ 10:02 am I thought America was a classless society!! – so, by definition, there can be no class war ….. there is only income disparity. Solidarity forever 🙂 » Posted By Mightywoof On September 14, 2010 @ 4:21 am Gosh Khirad – why are there not more articles like this out ‘there’. This constant ‘insult to the memory of’ and ‘why don’t the moderates speak out against’ just drives me insane. There are none so blind as those who cannot see and none so deaf as those who DO NOT want to hear. » Posted By Mightywoof On September 14, 2010 @ 4:19 am There was a lot of discussion up here and much trepidation about the wisdom of a programme such as this AB – thankfully it was received in the manner in which it was intended by the muslim community and I’m glad to hear your friends, Ali and Maryam, introduced you to it! » Posted By Mightywoof On September 11, 2010 @ 4:50 pm It’s kind of on again/off again this morning with said Idiot Pastor crying foul!! ……… and I just read that those wonderful Christians at Westboro Baptist are going to hols their own Koran burning along with the American flag 🙄 » Posted By Mightywoof On September 10, 2010 @ 5:59 am Hey, can anyone play this Blame the Victim(s) game? Dems must have done something really bad to bring that Karma down on their heads “Since the 2008 election, progressive leaders have done little to address the obvious national appetite for female leadership” ………. oh yeah – what’s Nancy Pelosi, chopped liver?? The national appetite seems to be for Mamma Grizzlies not strong, independent, political smart women 🙄 » Posted By Mightywoof On September 9, 2010 @ 2:48 pm I just heard it on CBC radio and came here to tell y’all – Bito beat me to it 😆 Yup, Bito the man’s still Mr. Pastor Idiot Bigot!! Sure I believe that the folks at Cordoba House are going to move their not-a-mosque 🙄 » Posted By Mightywoof On September 9, 2010 @ 2:43 pmComments Posted By Mightywoof
