Then he went into the public sector and was seduced by Wall Street. He married a young one — 10-15 years his junior. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 4:16 pm What’s the old frying pan & egg thing?

Us old farts think alike or at least have GREAT minds. 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 3:22 pm bito, » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 3:06 pm kes, Look at the cards we’ve been dealt: New GOP Governors Kill $1.2 Billion In High-Speed Rail Jobs Incompetent Establishment » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 12:54 pm Have you seen the “Bring Keith Back” pages on FB? People are pissed. So, explain Rachel’s comments to me. CHA? Or did I miss something between the lines of her commentary? » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 12:43 pm I will definitely look for it at the library; if I can make it past the anti-health-care protesters without without without taking…a picture. 😆 » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 12:37 pm Ah kes, there’s a lot of that “disrespect anyone & anything” ideology floating around. Look at what you do for a living…look at what my daughter does for a living. Nurses and teachers. Y’all have to want to be in these professions because you’re motivated and believe you can make a difference. Yet, patients, family members, some students, and for sure his/her parents behave badly, treat you like you are beneath them, and think they can say whatever the hell they want. Why? Because they’re 3 fries short of a Happy Meal and will never be able to connect the dots. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 12:32 pm I didn’t have a camera with me, but I so wanted to take pictures. However, I probably would have been arrested for protesting the protest. I really wanted to upload them here and on FB. **EDIT** Will check local news ltr to see if they had any coverage. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 12:22 pm 😆 😆 » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 12:19 pm We really need to come up with a drink recipe for him – PlanetPOV Cocktail of sorts? Except make it tongue-in-cheek maybe? The Speaker 1 oz. self-tanning lotion » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 12:17 pm Hey, we’re $2.99. My Escort is 11 and can’t swallow the blend stuff. They only want you to think you’re saving money. You have to fill up more often, and it’s not all that great for the car’s internal organs. Every single one of them has a scheme and wouldn’t tell the truth if they were water-boarded. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 12:07 pm Weren’t we just discussing this last night, or at least briefly in between drink recipes? 😉 » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 11:55 am Hey Patsy! I was out running errands and drove past a small local mall. Protesters on both sides of the street and cops keeping an eye. What signs were they carrying you ask? STOP Forced HealthCare. Sign the Petition Here » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 11:52 am What a game plan. Keep everyone focused on the President while we can do whatever the hell we want. Heaven help them if they can’t see the forest for the trees…assholes. The GOP’s 2012 Game Plan ‘It’s a great first step.” That’s the way Washington’s resident realist, Mitch McConnell, is describing this week’s GOP electoral triumph. The Senate Republican leader is known for his long game, and that’s what’s on his mind even in victory: “We’re not going to be able to finish this job until 2012.” Mr. McConnell took some time this week to talk me through the GOP game plan. Let’s just say he isn’t apologizing for recently suggesting that his priority is to deny President Obama a second term. This week’s message was that the American people want a repeal of health-care reform and an end to overspending and job-killing initiatives. If Republicans intend to make good on these public demands, says Mr. McConnell, the end goal has to be putting someone in the White House who won’t veto that progress. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 11:47 am Well, duh?!! What the hell did they think was going to happen? » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 11:36 am So, has anyone else noticed how quickly the gas prices went up? $.13/gal here. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 6, 2010 @ 11:24 am Thank you Khirad. I left my two cents worth in a comment. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 5, 2010 @ 7:24 pm Thank you ma’am. Don’t mess with boomer on a Friday night. 😆 😆 » Posted By boomer1949 On November 5, 2010 @ 7:22 pm Thanks bito, but will she read it? » Posted By boomer1949 On November 5, 2010 @ 6:49 pm So, I’ve been sitting here listening to Washington Week and couldn’t take another minute of analysis of the election: Dear Ms. Ifill: To answer your question — taking us back to the 60’s, the Civil Rights Movement, bigotry, hate, divisiveness, conflict, flannel shirts, the KKK, pick up trucks, gun racks, sock monkeys. Take your pick. Need I go on? You name it Ms. Ifill, I grew up with it, I watched it on the nightly news (when reporting the news was real and unbiased journalism). I never thought I would see history repeat itself, but it is, however subtle, it is. I’ve been saying it since the primary campaigns. Bottom line? It has nothing to do with the policies of the the White House, but EVERYTHING to do with the ethnicity of the family living in the White House and the man sitting in the Oval Office. Period. Why the media continues to wear blinders completely to baffle me. It’s not rocket science and I keep asking myself why? Why Ms Ifill? Why? John McConnell & Rand Paul are from Kentucky. An African American with so much power? It’s personal to them. It’s personal to the Tea Party. It’s personal to Sarah Palin. It’s personal to Fox News. It’s personal with all the “good-ole-rich-white-Republicans” — regardless of gender. Yet, as I sit here listening to you and those sitting around the round table on the 11/5/10 edition of Washington Week, no one, no one, not one individual has the cajonnes to call it what it is. Racism. Not a word, not a single word. I just don’t get it. And, for the record, I am a 61 year old, White female from the State of Ohio. Sincerely, **EDIT** I totally made a mistake. I referred to Mitch McConnell as John McConnell. My thoughts and fingers had a major disconnect. OH has several JMcC’s: John H. McConnell and John P. McConnell. Gwen will no doubt dismiss me because of the incorrect reference. On the other hand, she’ll probably dismiss me anyway. 🙁 » Posted By boomer1949 On November 5, 2010 @ 6:00 pm Good for her… From the Chicago Tribune, Letters to the Editor An open letter to Mitch McConnell Senator McConnell, I know this won’t do any good. I know you won’t read this, especially since I am not from your state. Your remark that the goal of the Republican Party is to deny Barack Obama a second term only underlines the problems with our government today. How does it serve the people to concentrate on beating Obama in 2012? How does that help the economy, the health care issues, the wars that we are involved in? How does this help the environment? How does it provide a safe place for my grandchildren and yours to live? Why is the Republican Party more important than those issues? Why is the Democratic Party more important? Why is the Libertarian, the Green, the Tea Party parties more important? As usual, government has forgotten why it is there. It is “for the people” not for whatever party the politician belongs. When did you lose sight of that? When did all of our “leaders” lose sight of that? What is the sense in asking the people what they need when you and your cohorts ignore us? Americans are floundering for answers and all you can do is try to gain power for your party. What about taking care of the people who gave you that power? — Kathleen Shapiro, Lombard » Posted By boomer1949 On November 5, 2010 @ 4:54 pm Me too. Are you sure it isn’t a Rorschach Test? » Posted By boomer1949 On November 5, 2010 @ 4:37 pm You are becoming quite the “upload-your-.jpg-here” Queen kes. On the other hand, I doubt Sister Sarah would be would be as adept. I don’t think she can walk and chew gum at the same time. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 5, 2010 @ 4:32 pm First time I’ve ever seen Joe and Mika speechless. O’Donnell lived up to the the title of his show, “Last Word.” He also came in with a chip on his shoulder and rarein’ for a fight; Greenwald openly criticized his election night analysis. Does this mean Larry will be suspended without pay for outing himself as “far, far, far left?” He may not have contributed money, but he sure as heck lost his journalistic impartiality. Message sent is message received; it often has more influence than a monetary contribution. And…O’Donnell is an employee of MSNBC/NBC. Greenwald was an invited guest. O’Donnell was rude to say the least. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 5, 2010 @ 3:55 pm Ah, AZ connection. I was still focused on the headline. 😉 » Posted By boomer1949 On November 5, 2010 @ 11:41 am You are fast, and you beat me to it! On the other hand, I don’t understand all the uproar. Brian Williams and the rest of the NBC newsies are far from perfect. If they want to focus on ethics and company policy, maybe they should stop being so fucking biased against the WH. » Posted By boomer1949 On November 5, 2010 @ 11:35 amComments Posted By boomer1949
Local paper ran a story about her and Mrs. Strickland. Mrs. K. is the proverbial Stepford Wife.
David Brooks is a neo-con in disguise. Can’t stand him;he flips and flops faster (if not more than) QAH. He is a fake and opportunist.
Bothers me terribly the PBSNewsHour continues to have him on; makes the Sunday Morning Talking Heads rotation equivalent to the revolving door in my office building; blocks out most of the cold, but not all the HOT AIR.
Brooks and other opiners get off hearing/seeing themselves jumping into the deep end just so they can see their reflection in the water.
20 minutes in the tanning bed
3 hours (5-8) for happy hour
1 pity party (number of tears won’t make a difference, but the color of them might)
Shaken not stirred because he has rocks in his head (we want it to be as real as possible)
Poor straight up into a martini glass
Add 2-3 bigoted olives
Sen. Mitch McConnell says Republicans will keep the country focused on the unpopular elements of the president’s agenda, especially health care.
