Where's everybody. It's half-price drinks for all the ladies tonight!
ReplyDeleteBAR WENCH! Beer me quick.
ReplyDelete/first?
Here ya go Phil, good to see ya. Free beer nuts for the gents.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, an oasis in the wilderness.
ReplyDeleteWhat'll you have, JCM?
ReplyDeleteEvening BW. The usual please.
ReplyDeleteI need an oasis, don't really need the wilderness though. This urban jungle is getting rough.
ReplyDeleteBW,
ReplyDeleteArrogant Bastard, Oaked if you have it.
If not, I like my brews dark and bitter!
Set em up, Bar Wench, a gin and tonic please.
ReplyDeleteExcept I have to go pick up my darling dancing daughters, so can you have it nice and cold in about fifteen minutes?
Yeah, a rough day with asmooth ending. {Brandy}
ReplyDeleteMy Jamesons is at it's usual place?
Cheers, Erik. Got some 12 year old, will that do?
ReplyDeleteComing right up, Cal. How's it going?
ReplyDeleteJustice Ginsburg at Washington Hospital Center
ReplyDeleteJustice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is at Washington Hospital Center this evening after falling ill at the Supreme Court this afternoon. Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said Ginsburg fell ill after receiving an intravenous iron therapy. Arberg said Ginsburg, who has been battling pancreatic cancer, felt better after being attended by a physician at the court, but was taken to the hospital as a precaution.
Prayers for her recovery.
Prayers indeed.
ReplyDeletePour the mezcal out.
ReplyDeleteLeave the worm.
It's Friday Night for me.
Woohoo.
Is it beer o'clock yet? I think I need a drink.
ReplyDeleteThat will do more than well. Thanks
My thought go out to her.
ReplyDeleteBrandy, I am well, thanks, yourself?
Evening, all. Shockingly, I think I'll stay sober tonight.
ReplyDeleteNot to wish ill on Justice Ginsberg, but pancreatic cancer is universally fatal, AFAIK. I think that's what Patrick Swayze had.
What a great life this site is. Early a.m. for fruitcup, and close out the day with a cocktail.
ReplyDeleteY'all just make our lives so wonderful. No complaints here!
I am feeling ornery tonight. First nickel in the juke box.
ReplyDeleteHere ya go sasquatch
ReplyDeleteI almost forgot - you need to listen to this and every other video by these kids.
ReplyDeletePS 22 sings "Viva la Vida"
doppelganglander...
ReplyDeleteThat's been my experience with 3 friends who ended up with pancreatic cancer. Quick and over and out. Prayers for her and her family/friends.
Commit to Afghanistan or Get Out
ReplyDeletePresident Barack Obama now faces a similar tough decision. The war in Afghanistan is not going well. The rebuilding effort isn't going well. The effort to create a competent government isn't going well. So should he commit American support if he isn't committed to doing what is needed to succeed?
Mr. Obama owns the war in Afghanistan. He bought it, on credit. But he is fulminating at the cost now that the bill is coming due. Gen. Stanley McChrystal has made clear what the bill will be in terms of additional troops. And the president now wants a review to determine whether we're pursuing the right strategy.
It is disappointing that this review comes after the president decided to keep 68,000 Americans risking their lives in Afghanistan. But Mr. Obama is right to give himself a chance to decide whether he is willing to follow through on this war, given what it will cost in blood, treasure, and other things.
[]
The military is doing its job in Afghanistan. It's time the rest of the government does its job. We need to turn our attention to the failures of the nonmilitary parts of our strategy and bring them up to the standard at which our military is performing. Otherwise we will not be doing what is needed to win.
I say win. Kick Taliban ass, deny the Islamofacists a base. Bring a measure of stability to the area and in doing so insure our national security, so we don't have to worry about suicide bombers trained there showing up on our trains and buses.
PaladinPhil ... perfect choice!!!! ...
ReplyDeleteGood Evening to EVERYONE!!! ... I will just take a diet coke ... blah ...
Sure don't feel like dancing with this bad news but here's a nice little song.
ReplyDeleteAnd now one for all the O-bots who are just plain out there.

ReplyDeleteOh,yeah.

Hey sos. How the hell are you?
ReplyDeleteI'll check in the back room, Sage. Can you pour the drinks while I'm gone?
ReplyDeletegettinby: Three friends? That's just awful. Cancer is so ugly.
ReplyDeleteBar Wench: That's a nice version of a great song. Have you ever seen the movie "Chaplin?" Robert Downey Jr. should take Al Pacino's Oscar away and beat him over the head with it, that's how badly RDJ got robbed.
Loved that show, doppel.
ReplyDeleteCheesy Poufs coming right up, Sage.
Good, ETR.
ReplyDeleteWeek is over. Back to my regularly scheduled 3-day weekends.
How's life treatin' ya these days down there around Mickeyland ?
Thanks, as usual, for your great 'tending Bar Wench.
ReplyDeleteHere's to a great night to all!
*curls up in the comfy wing-chair by the fire*
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Brandy, darls *waves* I would love a nice glass of Aussie Shiraz, pleaseandthankyou, toots.
*glances at Phil and giggles out loud*
Your fly's open. :D
I am in a real ornery and pissed off mood tonight. Thank god it's Friday tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHow's life treatin' ya these days down there around Mickeyland ?
ReplyDeleteLife is good. I am working on a business deal. Should know some news tomorrow and final deal by the end of next week.

ReplyDelete/that makes my last song pick even better.
Mmmmmm.....Cheezy Poofs!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bar Wench.
:')
Make your self at home, Miss Trixie. Shiraz coming right up.
ReplyDeleteGettinby, good to see you and thanks a bunch.
Woot! Found the Cheesy Puffs.
ReplyDeleteMiss Trixie, how are you? Are you snowed in yet? ;)
ReplyDeleteI am in a real ornery and pissed off mood tonight. Thank god it's Friday tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteFor Phil
BarWench ... half price night? ... um ... when is it going to be Ladies Night? ... I say Ladies Night once a month and we drink free and we get to ask the guys to dance ... what was that dance called in High School ...
ReplyDeleteAnd another hard hitting number.
ReplyDelete/not angry this time. :)
Life is good. I am working on a business deal. Should know some news tomorrow and final deal by the end of next week.
ReplyDeleteToo damn cool.
Best of luck,brotherman.
zigzagging: Sadie Hawkins, comes from lil Abner. If I recall my mythology correctly every February 29 was a proper "Sadie Hawkins" day.
ReplyDeletezigzag, it is ladies night!
ReplyDeletedoppel
ReplyDeleteSnowed in?
Nope not yet - it's only the end of September, we've had gorgeous, sun-filled fall weather where it's warm and humid all day then fresh at night, maples are turning crimson and folks are starting to use their wood-burning fireplaces.
We'll prolly have our first sneaux before Halloweeny.
Cheesy joke du jour:
ReplyDeleteOn his 75th birthday, a man got a gift certificate from his wife. The certificate paid for a visit to a medicine man living on a nearby reservation who was rumored to have a wonderful cure for erectile dysfunction.
After being persuaded, he drove to the reservation, handed his ticket to the medicine man and wondered what he was in for. The old man slowly, methodically produced a potion, handed it to him, and with a grip on his shoulder, warned, “This is powerful medicine and it must be respected. You take only a teaspoonful and then say “1-2-3”. When you do that, you will become manlier than you have ever been in your life and you can perform as long as you want.”
The man was encouraged. As he walks away, he turned and asked, “How do I stop the medicine from working?” “Your partner must say ‘1-2-3-4,’ he responded. But when she does, the medicine will not work again until the next full moon.”
He was very eager to see if it worked so he went home, showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine, and then invited his wife to join him in the bedroom. When she came in, he took off his clothes and said, “1-2-3!” Immediately, he was the manliest of men.
His wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes. And then she asked, “What was the 1-2-3 for?”
And that, boys and girls, is why we should never end our sentences with a preposition, because we could end up with a dangling participle.
Half-price drinks for chicks, eh?
ReplyDeleteI'm wearing women's underwear -- does that get me a discount?
PalPhill ... yes ... that's it ... and Ioved that comic strip ...
ReplyDeleteBarWench ... thanks! ... rock on ladies ...
Miss Trixie: ROFLMAO, that was great.
ReplyDeleteAnd another hard hitting number.
ReplyDeleteWarrant and hard hitting, 2 things which don't compute for me. Square peg, round hole.
/but what a video.
gettinby! Hiya doll!
ReplyDeleteBar wench, can I have my G&T now, s'il vous plais? (Bombay Sapphire if you have it.)
Lucius ... only if it is a thong ... and of course ... we must see photos to verify ...
ReplyDeleteMade tacos for dinner tonight. Mmmmmm. Now watching a little football. And tomorrow is bid day, so I get to stand around and drink with a bunch of my former students.
ReplyDeleteMiss Trixie, that sounds perfect. Down here we don't get days like that until late October, and snow maybe once a year. I love a crisp fall day.
ReplyDeleteLucious, ROTFLMAO Why not, but you have to put on some red shoes too!
ReplyDeletesos: Hard hitting as loud and guitar. Real good rock music.
ReplyDeleteOh, ok. If you insist ....
ReplyDeleteLucius, PIMF. LOL
ReplyDelete*Rings Bell Over Bar*
ReplyDeleteI propose a toast. To the leader of the free world.
Bibi Netenyahu!
JCM, here hear!
ReplyDeleteJCM- I'll drink to Bibi anytime.
ReplyDeleteWenchlet -- I actually like that song, though it does beg the question why he starts singing like Elmer Fudd.
ReplyDeleteLucius- my eyes, my eyes!
ReplyDeleteI propose a toast. To the leader of the free world.
ReplyDeleteCheers. At least there is one.
JCM: SKOL! The only sane speech to come out of the UN in months.
ReplyDeleteHe does kinda sound like Elmer Fudd.
ReplyDeleteTo Bibi:
ReplyDeleteYour dad was a notable scholar
And you grabbed us all by the collar
During your stint on the hill
And now, just in time
You're Israel's Minister (Prime)
A man with a plan and the will!
Bar Wench, when you said red shoes I immediately thought of this: The Angels Want to Wear My Red Shoes
ReplyDelete"I used to disgusted/But now I try to amused." Now that's a life philosophy for our times.
Just heard from my nephew. He's gotten a job in Doha Qatar.
ReplyDeleteI don't think he has any idea of what he is in for.
JCM said...
ReplyDeleteI'd buy the whole bar a round if I could just for the idea.
Big Toast.
My life philosophy: It's still not weird enough for me.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteBig Toast.
For Bibi I'd get out the four-barrelled beer bong.
Lucius ... I am thinking you might need a larger size thong ...
ReplyDeleteHows about a little Tantric
ReplyDeleteZZ -- or some clothes. Lots of clothes.
ReplyDeletezigzag.....
ReplyDeleteBrain Bleach!
LOL!
zigzag, indeed he does. LOL
ReplyDeleteOf some note:
ReplyDeleteJeff Bolton of 570 KLIF A.M. Dallas morning talk show.
He says after his appearance on Fox last week the
hits on his blow out congress site is taking off.
He needs help, people to man the site, help it grow and help with the T-shirt sales and other stuff. It has no adds, he takes no money from any big donnor ect. He is now asking for donations on line at the site.
take tfk word on it, this guy you CAN TRUST
http://www.blowoutcongress.com
like that
For Bibi I'd get out the four-barrelled beer bong.
ReplyDeleteI'd help you.
Ah .. all dressed now and relaxing in my study.
ReplyDeleteJim in VA: Congratulations to your nephew, I think. These days, you take the jobs where you find them.
ReplyDeleteHowdy tfk
ReplyDeleteNiceataseeya.
Okay fellas .. some brain bleach for ya ..
ReplyDeleteHow to Wear a Thong ...
Thanks for the info, tfk. How about a nice cold beer!
ReplyDeleteHey tfk!!
ReplyDeleteLucius Septimius
ReplyDeleteMe much good at mis-behaving, lots of experence.
How about you?
That beer looks a bit flat, Wencholicious.
ReplyDeleteNow look at the head on this.
tfk my man, how goes the battles? Welcome to the pub. Pull up a stool, grab some beer nuts and unwind.
ReplyDelete*yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwn*
ReplyDeleteI'm done - see yez tomorrow and thanks for the vino.
Don't forget to drink to Prime Minister Stephen Harper's health - like Bibi, he is a darned fine leader and his delegates walked out on that little Iranian sh*t.
Thank you, Mr. Harper. You're a good man.
Nite all.
Good Night Miss Trixie ....
ReplyDeleteMe much good at mis-behaving, lots of experence.
ReplyDeleteI've had experience as well, but less opportunity to misbehave. Downside of being a parent.
Nighty night Miss Trixie.
ReplyDeleteNight Miss Trixie, give a hug to little miss for us as well.
ReplyDeleteTFK, I've never seen you misbehaving
ReplyDeleteLucius, they do grow up, and then you can behave badly all over again. The upside of having my kids young is that I'm still young enough to have fun now that they're grown (or almost).
ReplyDeleteDarlin you can't love one
ReplyDeleteI got a while before mine will grow up. A LONG while.
ReplyDeleteOK, gang, are any of you up for game of darts?
ReplyDeleteSpurier needs to go whack some guys in the head. Sheeesh.
ReplyDeletedoppelganglander- did you see Geraghty's post today on the VA gov race? Doug Wilder declined to endorse Creigh Deeds, despite a phone call from the President.
ReplyDeleteThe Times They Are A Changin'

ReplyDeleteJim in Virginia said...
ReplyDeleteJorline, where in South Texas are you? Was it really 74 there yesterday?
Hey JiV...yes, that was the high yesterday. Get this though...today's high was only 70 as of 2 this afternoon. I'm in Corpus Christi, very strange weather for this time of year.
It was 103 here in SoCal today!
ReplyDelete:(
Thanks Bar Wench, but who's the beer nut tonight?
ReplyDeletePaladinPhil said...
ReplyDeleteJorline: Not too much but the usual. Good company, good music. And one right saucy Bar Wench.
Nothing like a saucy Wench to wet your whistle 2P.
Are you the DJ tonight?
OK -- I gotta get some shut eye.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice evening.
Holy crap DS...you stole our weather.
ReplyDeleteYou can keep it for a while. :)
Hate to be a downer, but anyone hear of this incident, or this one?
ReplyDeleteNight Lucius.
ReplyDeleteJorline: It's me, I guess. ;-)
ReplyDeleteFor the troops!

*Slides the bottle of Jameson down the bar*
To you, Cal.
I'm over it. Took all of 2 seconds.
I love it here.
wOOt Wench!
ReplyDeleteMove on. New adventure guys. Remember that.
ReplyDeleteThanks C2 for putting this together. It will only get stronger by the day.
2P, from the Dallas story.
ReplyDeleteThere are Wells Fargo Bank offices in the building and Smadi was out to target that bank, according to an arrest affidavit.
Investigators said Smadi was in the U.S. illegally and lived and worked in Italy, Texas, which is about 45 miles south of Dallas. He has been the focus of an undercover FBI investigation and under continuous surveillance since undercover agents discovered him in an online group of extremist.
Damn Italian Texans are extreme!

I pray no fires DS. I don't miss the heat.
ReplyDeleteEtR- Amen Bro. Onward and upward.
ReplyDeleteHad to step out.
ReplyDeleteBar Wench,
Another one for the lads.
Italian Texans? Anything like Italian Sicilians?

For the lads....
Night, zigzag, got the limo number right here. Have a great day tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteDepressing post at Belmont Club
ReplyDeletethink back seventy years when publics also thought that war could be abolished by diplomacy
"What is safe to say is that history hasn’t stopped; conflicts continue. The idea that they can be resolved through institutions which ultimately lack the power of enforcement — having given them up — is a dubious one. Once upon a time it was thought that a Security Council could oversee the world; it didn’t."
2P...sounds like the jihadist are busy again.
ReplyDeleteThank God GWB's terrorist fail safes where firmly in place before the "Chosen One" took over.
Head on upstairs anytime, gang!
ReplyDeleteBrandy, your new thread is up. Gotta head off the evil #200 at the pass. : )
ReplyDeletesasquatchonsteroids and Erik The Red,

Beat me to it, ETR.
And once again Thanks for the hard work on the blog and having me here.

J F'n K speaks.... (did you know he served in Vietnam?)
ReplyDelete“Let’s be honest about it, most people don’t read the legislative language.”
Well J F'n K, some of us do, more of us do than out of the 535 on the f'n Hill that's for damn sure. While we're on the subject of documents, can I read your DD-214?
Gotta' run Curriculum meeting at the school, this should be fun, See ya' all on the second floor.
