Can't win with you people, if he attends, than he shows, lack of respect for the people in the south, and if he doesn't than he is hiding. Just pure stupidity. Both parties are backing off at the moment, until the tides(no pun intended, yes there was) calm.
the daughter must had been listening to madonna's mama don't preach....... i'm keepin my baby. she also forgot to just say NONONONONO.
every generation gets dumber and dumber Since when is it part of the Presidents job to go and "cuddle" a bunch of well-fare rejects that have to be herded into a god damn bus because a storm is coming. You want to live near the coast... that gets battered with hurricanes every year.... FINE.... but dont be crying for help or get angry because your president is not showing compassion ... BOO HOO........... tough shit If you cant carve a living for your self... than mother nature targets you for extermination.
Duck... I totally agree with you, don't misunderstand me. You wanna live there than deal with it. It infuriated me when the lashings came out over Katrina. The mayor and the Gov warned the people to get out, but those morons chose not to.But forget about that for a minute, how about applying simple commonsense. You live below sea level and you have a major storm coming that everyone in the country knew about for over a week, and you decide to stay? Well you get what you deserve. I have 1 small problem with your statement, actually it's a big problem. The heat that Bush took and is still taking for Katrina!! I believe it is the responsibility of local gov, but that is not the way it played(still playing) out! God helps those who help themselves, the American way and mostly the Rep way. The Dem way... point fingers look for handouts and not take responsibility for themselves.
Most of those fools dont understand what below sea level means. If my crop dont come in.... If a flood comes and takes my house away...... if a tornado comes and takes my wife and kids..... THATS MOTHER NATURE..... not the republicans..... why the hell would i go knocking on the presidents door for assistance?? or start marching in protest??? Mother natures screws you over..... deal with it... dont try blaming other people. NH has the best slogan ..... LIVE FREE OR DIE
On another level it seems like the daughter doesn't buy the religious smack of her mother... Mom had all the fun, and wants to keep her daughter away from it, so she toughens the moral standard at home?
See Duck I knew we would eventually find something we could agree on . Not to mention I think some your posts are pretty funny and make me laugh. Hey maybe you could do stand up in your spare time...Peace
Vice in Go-Go Boots? By MAUREEN DOWD PITTSBURGH The guilty pleasure I miss most when Iâm out slogging on the campaign trail is the chance to sprawl on the chaise and watch a vacuously spunky and generically sassy chick flick. So imagine my delight, my absolute astonishment, when the hokey chick flick came out on the trail, a Cinderella story so preposterous itâs hard to believe itâs not premiering on Lifetime. Instead of going home and watching âMiss Congenialityâ with Sandra Bullock, I get to stay here and watch âMiss Congenialityâ with Sarah Palin. Sheer heaven. Itâs easy to see where this movie is going. It begins, of course, with a cute, cool unknown from Alaska who has never even been on âMeet the Pressâ triumphing over a cute, cool unknowable from Hawaii who has been on âMeet the Pressâ a lot. Americans, suspicious that the Obamas have benefited from affirmative action without being properly grateful, and skeptical that Michelle really likes âThe Brady Bunchâ and âThe Dick Van Dyke Show,â reject the 47-year-old black contender as too uppity and untested. Instead, they embrace 72-year-old John McCain and 44-year-old Sarah Palin, whose average age is 58, a mere two years older than the average age of the Obama-Biden ticket. Enthusiastic Republicans donât see the choice of Palin as affirmative action, despite her thin résumé and gaping absence of foreign policy knowledge, because they expect Republicans to put an underqualified âbabe,â as Rush Limbaugh calls her, on the ticket. They have a tradition of nominating fun, bantamweight cheerleaders from the West, like the previous Miss Congeniality types Dan Quayle and W., and then letting them learn on the job. So they crash into the globe a few times while theyâre learning to drive, whatâs the big deal? Obama may have been president of The Harvard Law Review, but Palin graduated from the University of Idaho with a minor in poli-sci and worked briefly as a TV sports reporter. And she was tougher on the basketball court than the ethereal Obama, earning the nickname âSarah Barracuda.â The legacy of Geraldine Ferraro was supposed to be that no one would ever go on a blind date with history again. But that crazy maverick and gambler McCain does it, and conservatives and evangelicals rally around him in admiration of his refreshingly cynical choice of Sarah, an evangelical Protestant and anti-abortion crusader who became a hero when she decided to have her baby, who has Down syndrome, and when she urged schools to debate creationism as well as that stuffy old evolution thing. Palinistas, as they are called, love Sarahâs spunky, relentlessly quirky âNorthern Exposureâ story from being a Miss Alaska runner-up, and winning Miss Congeniality, to being mayor and hockey mom in Wasilla, a rural Alaskan town of 6,715, to being governor for two years to being the first woman ever to run on a national Republican ticket. (Why do men only pick women as running mates when they need a Hail Mary pass? Itâs a little insulting.) Sarah is a zealot, but sheâs a fun zealot. She has a beehive and sexy shoes, and the day sheâs named she goes shopping with McCain in Ohio for a cheerleader outfit for her daughter. As she once told Vogue, sheâs learned the hard way to deal with press comments about her looks. âI wish theyâd stick with the issues instead of discussing my black go-go boots,â she said. âA reporter once asked me about it during the campaign, and I assured him I was trying to be as frumpy as I could by wearing my hair on top of my head and these schoolmarm glasses.â This chick flick, naturally, features a wild stroke of fate, when the two-year governor of an oversized igloo becomes commander in chief after the president-elect chokes on a pretzel on day one. The movie ends with the former beauty queen shaking out her pinned-up hair, taking off her glasses, slipping on ruby red peep-toe platform heels that reveal a pink French-style pedicure, and facing down Vladimir Putin in an island in the Bering Strait. Putting away her breast pump, she points her rifle and informs him frostily that she has some expertise in Russia because itâs close to Alaska. âBack off, Commie dude,â she says. âIâm a much better shot than Cheney.â Then she takes off in her seaplane and lands on the White House lawn, near the new ice fishing hole and hockey rink. The âFirst Dude,â as she calls the hunky Eskimo in the East Wing, waits on his snowmobile with the kids â Track (named after high school track meets), Bristol (after Bristol Bay where they did commercial fishing), Willow (after a community in Alaska), Piper (just a cool name) and Trig (Norse for âstrength.â) âThe P.T.A. is great preparation for dealing with the K.G.B.,â President Palin murmurs to Todd, as they kiss in the final scene while she changes Trigâs diaper. âNow that Georgiaâs safe, how âbout I cook you up some caribou hot dogs and moose stew for dinner, babe?â
