CHEERS!
ReplyDeleteHELLO, to all of my old friends! If you visited C2 while I was ... um ...SLEEPING (the nerve of me, I know! ;-) I want to thank you very much for coming!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to my new home...okay, TEMPORARY home, until the real site is up and running ;-) Although moving is usually traumatic, it's made much less so when you know you have FAMILY with you.
{YOU GUYZ!} :-)
Tark! :-)
ReplyDeleteTark,
ReplyDeleteYou knew to come looking, didn't you? ;-)
How goes it? School okay?
Wow! You've upgraded fruitcup! I am IMPRESSED.
ReplyDeleteGoodmorning all. :)
'Morning, Pink! :-)
ReplyDeleteHave some fruit, it's typed fresh. Like my floral garni? ;-)
You're new and improved. LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis is kind of a familiar feeling. Once upon a time there was likely only 3 of us around at fruitcup time.
ReplyDeleteG-d speed, Miguelito...wherever you are!

Miguel ....he would love this place. Been too long.
ReplyDeleteNice video, littleoldlady.
One of my favorites, Pink. I probably should get depressed watching/listening to it, but somehow I don't. ;-)
ReplyDeleteCATS was never my favorite show (I think I saw 3 stage productions), other than the staging/costumes and THAT song.
We're missing a few of our dead-threaders. I hope they figure out at some point we've relocated the buffet.
ReplyDeleteI know...if they don't get here soon I'll have to start singing.
ReplyDelete/THEN they'll be sorry! ;-)
Maybe I'll let Hugh do it...

That's one production of Oklahoma I wish I could have seen!
I know...if they don't get here soon I'll have to start singing.
ReplyDeletePromises, promises .....
;)
You need Pi Guy for proper appreciation of things like "Oklahoma". I am terrible with this stuff. It's like a special language the two of you speak.
ReplyDeleteI guess Broadway shows are an acquired taste...

Kinda like lox and bagel. ;-)
Okay...to stop myself from singing, I may have to start laughing:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/11/tea-party-rally-sparks-dispute-potential-turnout/?test=latestnews
But there is some confusion over how many people will show up, and where Democrats are getting their estimates. A top aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned fellow Democrats in a memo obtained by FOXNews.com that up to 2 million people may attend.
"It looks like Saturday's event is going to be a huge gathering, estimates ranging from hundreds of thousands to 2 million people," Pelosi aide Doug Thornell wrote, noting that a demonstration held Thursday turned into an impromptu rally for Rep. Joe Wilson, who has come under fire for his outburst during Obama's nationally televised speech to a joint session of Congress
Conservatives have seized on this memo as proof Democrats are playing an expectations game. They say the House leadership wrote the memo in hopes it would be leaked and inflate expectations for the turnout anticipating that it will fall short.
(What the html for "quote"...?)
The weather today in D.C. is (relatively) chilly in the morning (for this time of year) and some rain in the early afternoon.
ReplyDeleteBTW, did they even have 2 million people for Obama's inauguration?! I think they were expecting that much but got nowhere near that.
/now I'm going to have to fact-check...because I'm here talking to myself ;-)

Answer: NO!
This is a nifty HTML site that was posted in another thread. Maybe you can make heads or tails of it.

Hmmm ....TWO million? I know a bunch of libs that will deny deny deny that this was anything more than a blip on the political screen, and they will do their best to make it look like a bunch of whackos.
ReplyDeleteTwo million of anything, though ....kinda hard to ignore.
Hey guys, school hasn't started yet! I'm just enjoying summer, waiting for Sunday so I can get back to my life--football!
ReplyDeleteYeah, and there might be a ton of whackos there, no doubt. But there will also be a ton of really good, honest people who are just fed up with the nonsense. I know I'd never go to one anyway because I'm not the protesting type at all.
ReplyDeleteAnswer: NO!
ReplyDeleteYeah ...but he's no Beck.
Yeah...but he's no Beck.
ReplyDeleteHA.
I would use this:

but most of the html shortcuts don't seem to work in blogspot..
/GRRR!
People are pissed and worried, Tark. I don't like the freaks being there either but at this point they'll do little more than swell the ranks of a righteous LARGE group of concerned citizens.
ReplyDeleteC'est la vie!
Tark, are you on a trimester schedule?
ReplyDeleteIt really doesn't matter if 200, 2000, 200,000 or 2 million show up. The MSM won't cover it.
We're just parking here temporarily, Littleoldlady. We can manage like this for now and get fancy at the new place. :)
ReplyDeleteLet's just hope those disgusting jerks don't get a stranglehold.
ReplyDeleteIt really doesn't matter if 200, 2000, 200,000 or 2 million show up. The MSM won't cover it.
ReplyDeleteFox will. You see Beck's latest ratings? He's running behind only O'Reilly in viewership. I don't think Fox wants 3 mil (Beck's viewer number) screaming at them for failure to cover it.
Oh, I'm sure Fox will!
ReplyDeleteThat.is.all.
I was looking for that classic Infantada photo...the one where dozens of photographers were shown taking pictures of a Palestinian yout posing with a rock he is about to throw. Couldn't find it. :-(
I will look tomorrow for that one. Maybe Zombie has it?
ReplyDeleteLet's just hope those disgusting jerks don't get a stranglehold.
ReplyDeleteTark, even if there were 200 freaks out of 2 million, they will be what is focused on.
Tea. Parties. Must. Be. De-legitimized.
You know this! ;)
This may be it:

You're good for a little old lady!
ReplyDeleteI remember it from a different angle, but yes, that looks like it's the same setting.
Same idea, anyway. It all just reminds me of 5 Code Pinkos showing up and getting international coverage.
ReplyDeleteTea parties?...not so much.
Wow! Nice spread, littleoldlady! (I'm talking about the fruit, of course.) ;)
ReplyDeleteJust a quick check-in as we are going to work. I've always wondered how much the "weirdos" who show up for events are paid to do so and by whom.
/The media "giants" wouldn't stoop this low, now, would they? Heh.
gettinby! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's what happens when you sit in a chair in front of a computer screen for hours.
/OH. You mean the fruit! ;-)
Anymore it's nearly impossible to tell who's being paid by whom. I'm not sure the media HAS to (do they have any money left, anyway?) George Soros has a lot locked up, and I wouldn't put it past some groups on the right, either.
GREAT to see you here!
More on the protest in Washington today...
ReplyDeleteSaturday’s “Taxpayer March”– at which organizers expect anywhere from 20,000 to 200,000 people – as well as dozens of smaller marches around the country, will prove that the fledgling “Tea Party” movement is real...

Golly! What happened to the other 180,000 people?! ;-)
Bomb threat?! (Yesterday)
ReplyDeletehttp://blogs.abcnews.com/george/2009/09/bomb-threat-forces-evacuation-of-dc-tea-party-planners.html
DC Metro police has confirmed to ABC News' Jason Ryan that the DC Metro police had, indeed, evacuated the organization's offices after being told by the organization that it had received a bomb threat.
The threat came when a man called the FreedomWorks main line and told the organization's female receptionist: "I put a bomb in your building, bitch."
The FreedomWorks staffer who spoke with ABC News said that the organization has received multiple threats but that for some reason, the DC Metro police thought that this one was credible enough to evacuate the building.
I am very surprised at this. ABC allowed John Stossel to "flounce"...
ReplyDeletehttp://blogs.abcnews.com/johnstossel/2009/09/im-moving-to-fox.html
It's time for a change.
In one month, I leave ABC News.
In October, I will join the folks at Fox.
I plan to do a one hour prime time show every week on FBN, the Fox Business Channel, and contribute to various existing programs on Fox News Channel.
I’m grateful to ABC News for allowing me to do stories that challenged conventional wisdom, and occasionally enraged many of its viewers. But it’s said that everyone should change jobs every 7 years. I’ve been at ABC for 28 years ...
In my new job, I want to dig into the meaning of the words “liberty” and “limited government”. ABC enabled me to do some of that, but Fox offers me more airtime and a new challenge.
I’m still considering what I will do with my own show, one hour each week. Economics certainly. Exercises in understanding libertarianism. My “take” on the issues of the day. Kind of like this blog. In fact, maybe we’ll call it, Stossel’s Take?
I ask you for your ideas. A studio audience? Should I wander around Congress?
To be continued...
God morning y'all - hey where the heck is the fruitcup - it's all been eaten already?! (casts suspicious look at Pink and lol!)!
ReplyDeleteWhat the hey??!
Anyway, good morning y'all.
Good Morning C2 and {lol} thanks for fruitcup. I am late as usual. Hey rw glad you found your way here. I hope you and your mom are well.

ReplyDeleteErik! :-)
Sorry rw. I should have guessed that. :))) I am well thank you. I hope we get to see lots more peeps here. This is going to be a great adventure and I feel privileged to be in on the ground floor.
ReplyDeleteBBL. I am going to look at a business to buy.
ReplyDeleteErik,
ReplyDeleteThey'll be here...or at the "real" site when it opens. :-)

Hey Jorline! I don't believe there's a lot of folks around right now, but the last posts are up in the most recent thread. We'll be running a new fruitcup thread every night (or early morning) when LoL posts it.
ReplyDeleteHow ya doing?
I'm well Pink...thanks. How are you.
ReplyDeleteI'm on the other blog so little now days I didn't know you were gone. I was sad to hear that.
It's nice to be able to talk with like minded friends again.
We're really enjoying it here, Jorline. If by like minded you mean rational and polite, then yes! I feel right at home. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're coming visit us.
I'm glad I was invited. Time for bed and one last shot at Cato over there. See you again soon Pink...stay well.
