Harumph! I see I'm not the only one who overslept...
ReplyDeleteWAKIE, WAKIE!
;-)
I'm here, I'm here! I was busy nailing things to the barn wall.
ReplyDelete...Good thing I wasn't drinking my coffee, or you know...
ReplyDelete'Morning, Pink! :-)
*innocent look*
ReplyDelete'Morning, Littleoldlady!
I posted a couple of articles downstairs ....Maureen Dowd doing her best to make me hypertensive, playing the race card:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/13/opinion/13dowd.html?_r=1&partner=rss&emc=rss
...and Breitbart's new site has a decent article on the ACORN corruption in post-Katrina New Orleans (more race-card):
http://biggovernment.com/2009/09/12/former-leftist-activist-turned-fbi-informant-pulls-back-the-curtain-on-acorn/
That new Breitbart site is fast moving to the top of my 'sites visited' list.
I saw part of an interview of Breitbart done yesterday during the Washington march.
ReplyDeleteKnow what was nice? Seeing so many people (like him) positively *energized* by the size and enthusiasm of the crowd.
My daughter's line was classic..."For the first time since Novemeber I'm proud of my country!"
/eat your heart out, Michele Obama!
What I just LOVE about these tea parties is that the left is doing everything in their playbook to minimize them, to make them insignificant, but they just won't go away!
ReplyDeleteThey grow and swell (just following the meme here, littleoldlady, bear with me) and people feel empowered and energized and CONNECTED.
You are very bad, pink! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat's because the right has (finally) stolen the left's playbook. (Gee, I hope they don't go as far as giant puppetheads!) And it's confusing to them.
Kind of hard to ignore tens of thousands of people when they're ... IN YOUR FACE.
Now, when we see Alinsky rules used by the right...oh baby! All hell will break lose!
[Have I posted ONE comment yet with everything spelled correctly? I don't think so! ;-)]
ReplyDelete[Have I posted ONE comment yet with everything spelled correctly? I don't think so! ;-)]
ReplyDelete/wasn't going to mention that :P
Don't feel bad, Breitbart's article has a typo too.
Now, when we see Alinsky rules used by the right...oh baby! All hell will break lose!
ReplyDeleteLiberals, when they finally grow up and get smart, become conservative in one form or another. The focus of the right, properly placed on Alinsky's tactics, will be brutal.
/two can play at that game
Don't feel bad, Breitbart's article has a typo too.
ReplyDeleteI'm having an issue with getting sufficient caffeine into my bloodstream rapidly.
/...what's his excuse? ;-)
He's famous. He doesn't need one.
ReplyDeleteWhere are all of our deadthreaders!?
ReplyDeleteIt's Sunday?
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteROFL!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I couldn't help myself.
Ok, so it's Sunday. Again, I ask, where are our peeps!?
LAND SHARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm seriously going to sleep now.
ReplyDeleteGood night, ladies!
Flowers!
ReplyDeleteWhy, hello Shaaark! Nice of you to cruise on by. :)
ReplyDelete'Night, Shaaaaark! :-)
ReplyDeleteG'nite, Shaaark.
ReplyDeleteSleep well.
1 day off.
ReplyDeleteSleep in til 5:30.
Wake up.
Make coffee.
Feed herd.
Put herd out to do "stuff."
Get farm in order.
Checked out Drudge to see if outside world still there.
Arrive for fruitcup.
Good morning to all!!!
from a fellow typo-overlooker.
gettinby! :-)
ReplyDeleteI was beginning to think it was my breath... ;-)
How do you like the new fruitcup logo CC made for me?
American Thinker: Barack Obama Jumps the Shark
ReplyDeletehttp://www.americanthinker.com/2009/09/barack_obama_jumps_the_shark.html
h/t pink freud
FUNNY! (Especially if you're an old sitcom fan.)
{littleoldlady}! (fruit-breath?)
ReplyDeleteIt's phenomenal -- blue-ribbon quality.
She's VERY good!
ReplyDelete/we are blessed...
Love the article about jumping the shark.
ReplyDeleteNext time, instead of yelling out "You lie!," it should be "You DISCONNECT!" LOL
The President IS giving, though, and from what piddly ol' me can see, is that he is giving what he said he would. A great number of folks didn't listen too well.
These must be the same people who, when told things like "you don't qualify for this home (or whatever) loan" get angry AT the lender and blame others. (I'm attempting to put millions of people in a very small 'nutshell,' but I hope you see what I mean.)
/then they go home and kick the cat or something.
gettinby,
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY. I keep telling people..I am NOT angry at Obama. He is what he has always been, what he said he was. But I am FURIOUS at the people who voted for him!
I'm moving in serious slo-mo today. Good thing someone else made the fruitcup...
ReplyDelete;-)
Yes. And finally, some moderates and conservatives are getting off their stupid high horse and are fighting back. I don't agree with some of the fights (the "far out wingers"), but there are more than ample examples of him doing wrong and is what this guy was talking about all along.
ReplyDeleteCan't remember sending so many emails to elected officials as I have been lately. It's all I have time to do, but hopefully someone will listen who wants my vote.
By the way, been catching up on some of the comments here -- LOTS of really nice and really intelligent folks. This will be an excellent learningroom for me (I'm selfish that way, you know).
That's because the right has (finally) stolen the left's playbook.
ReplyDeleteI think the right has stolen back their playbook.
Like the Japanese of a couple hundred years ago who copied engineering books and left out critical data and made the drawings "beautiful" because they didn't understand what was important, the left thought that it was the "gathering" that was important, not gathering for a common cause, so it became nothing more than another party to attend to be with all the hip people, hence the street-theater atmosphere.
Mmmmm kiwi
OMG! It's 'LT'. I'll check in and out today.
ReplyDeleteThis is really nice. Thanks again, littleoldlady.
gettinby,
ReplyDeleteI stopped sending out emails. I just get form letters back.
/arrogant sons 'o b's!
Speaking of "disconnect", imagine getting emails from Arlen Specter! BLECH.
Rick Santorum was a bit of a nut, but at least when you sent him an email, your question or issue was answered - intelligently.
Good morning to Geepers before I go! It's always been a pleasure reading you over the years.
ReplyDeleteYou know, though, I don't recall 'us' fighting back THIS hard. Maybe after Carter somewhat, but this seems different to me.
(LT=laundrytime, by the way).
GEEPERS! :-)
ReplyDeleteVery true! Yesterday's protest wasn't street theatre. It was from the heart!
My daughter's comment while watching it on TV: "For the first time (since November!) I am proud of my country."
gettinby,
ReplyDeleteThank YOU for stopping by! :-)
/LT...verybigsigh...
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/tea-party-protesters-march-washington/story?id=8557120
ReplyDeleteBest line: "The president has warned us if we disagree with him he's going to call us out," DeMint said. "Well, Mr. President, we are out."
"For the first time (since November!) I am proud of my country."
ReplyDeleteGreat line. Your daughter's a gem.
Wow. This headline from CNN: Tea party movement has anger, no dominant leaders.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/09/12/tea.party.express/index.html
What? No giant puppetheads?!
My daughter is a Raging Republican.
ReplyDeleteWe are not exactly sure how that happened...
;-)
Someone needs to invent a Roomba for laundry that goes around and picks up your dirty cloths and dumps them in the washing machine.
ReplyDeleteOMG, Geepers! You are a GENIUS!
ReplyDeleteHave you any idea how RICH you would be?! Just do it! :-)
Tea party movement has anger, no dominant leaders.
ReplyDeleteYes, because the right knows who they are and how they feel, they don't need to be told what to think and be led around like sheep.
Once again, gathering for and because of a common cause.
Geepers,
ReplyDeleteThere are so many issues, and different folks have different tipping points. That's why I like "Taxpayer Protest". It's an "umbrella" term, of course, but describes the diversity of the group very well.
Of course (naturally!) The Washington Post sees things differently...
ReplyDeletehttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/09/12/AR2009091200971.html?nav=hcmodule
The crowd -- loud, animated and sprawling -- gathered at the West Front of the Capitol after a march along Pennsylvania Avenue NW from Freedom Plaza. Invocations of God and former president Ronald Reagan by an array of speakers drew loud cheers that echoed across the Mall. On a windy, overcast afternoon, hundreds of yellow "Don't Tread on Me" flags flapped in the breeze.
...
The demonstrators are part of a loose-knit movement that is galvanizing anti-Obama sentiment across the country, stoking a populist dimension to the Republican Party, which has struggled to find its voice since the 2008 elections.
NEWS FLASH, Wapo! I'm a registered Democrat who would have been there if it was at all possible.
The president has warned us if we disagree with him he's going to call us out," DeMint said. "Well, Mr. President, we are out.

one more thing ... how do you post a link? ...
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU, Geepers! :-)

'Morning, Zigzag! :-)
ReplyDeleteAre you moving?
/looking for a place to store that info where it won't get lost!
ReplyDeleteOn a Post-It note stuck to your car keys or TV remote.

ReplyDeleteOh. Great idea! (Not)
Are they NUTS?!
ReplyDeleteAre they NUTS?!
ReplyDeleteIn a word, yes.
Is it any wonder their readership is plummeting?
Roger Simon changes his mind...
ReplyDeleteOne other note from an old protestor. When I made that statement to Glenn those many months back, I did it with the supposed authority of someone who had been at a lot of demonstrations when on the left. I can remember a couple that might have been nearly this big (not sure, really). But I can’t remember anything this size that was entirely non-violent. That’s rather miraculous for a two-million person demonstration and deserves the highest praise, though I doubt the mainstream media will say much. They’re still digesting how much they’re despised.
Geepers,
ReplyDeleteI should have bolded this line: They’re still digesting how much they’re despised.
Heh™
Interesting: Crowd size estimating
ReplyDeleteh/t Michelle Malkin
Blogspot isn't let me post the embed link (I know it's ME, but I prefer blaming Blogspot! ;-) ... but check out the MSNBC video at the Michelle Malkin link above.
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly fair ... for MSNBC.
That comparison clearly shows an easy million.
ReplyDeleteGee, Ron Paul has gotten popular eh?
Hey y'all - good morning! I'm slacking off after just going through detailed instructions to two of our more illustrious personalities on how to open an account that will allow them to post on a blogspot.
ReplyDeleteThen they tell me that they are going to church and will try later on! GAH!
And hello litleoldlady!! And Geepers and everyone!
Ron Paul is only popular on some blogs...
ReplyDeleterealwest! :-)
ReplyDelete{littleoldlady} - I didn't know you were a
ReplyDelete*gasp* DEMOCRAT!!
Well, welcome to our protest against the big spenders in government Federal, State and City!! LOL!
BTW, did you know that in President Obama's FIRST YEAR as President, HIS budget calls for a deficit greater than all the deficits George W. Bush ran in his last 4 years COMBINED?!
When will politicians start to realize that if expenses are greater than income, then ya got two choices (well, three if you're the Federal government): Print more money and lots of it, increase taxes and revenue or CUT EXPENSES!!
Sheeesh!
realwest,
ReplyDeleteWell yeah...I'm Jewish and I grew up in Philadelphia. What else was I going to be?! ;-)
/although at this point I'm still a Democrat mostly because I'm too lazy to switch my registration and I'm none too fond of the Republicans either!
We are so screwed, economy-wise! (I'll let our resident economist explain the finer points of that statement when he gets here...) ;-)
Our resident economist is in or on his way to church right now and is one of the folks I mentioned who can't figure out how to get into a blogspot to make a comment!
ReplyDeleteBut I've e-mailed the appropriate member of the committee and whenever she gets up she'll see the message!
And btw, both of my wives were Jewish Democrats and I converted them to Republican by using simple logic!
/ducks to avoid incoming!!

ReplyDeleteYou probably should have gotten married a few more times... ;-)
Ah, No, sorry lol, but twice was enough - I'm not sufficiently dedicated to a political party to get married and divorced again!
ReplyDeleteLOL!
Good morning everyone - littleoldlady, realwest, Pink, Geepers...!
ReplyDeleteHave to step away from the computer in a moment to get ready for church, but sitting here with my coffee and reading the headlines - I see msm is trying to diminish the numbers of yesterday's march; pow's in Afghanistan may be getting the right to challenge their detainment . . . no good news here. So I checked this blog and that delicious bowl of fruit was a sight for sore eyes!
Have a wonderful Sunday - bbl.

Morning realwest.
Hey good morning Geepers! I HAVE TO REMEMBER TO REFRESH THIS PAGE PERIODICALLY to see new posts!
ReplyDeleteArgggh!
How are you doing my friend?
I HATE TypePad!! But I hate Google more!
ReplyDeleteJeebus, I had to enter those stupid characters next to the wheelchair four times to get my post go Geepers to get posted!
An intellectual feast for the mind.
