  7. Hi there sb5k, I'm Brandy's younger sister Bambi. What would you like to drink?

  10. I raise my glass to Sen. Olympia Snowe, just in case she's playing footsie delaying games with Democrats, but will NOT vote for this piece of progressive government healthcare takeover in FINAL FORM.

  11. Babies do like that beer, don't they?

  12. I'll have a glass of burgundy.
    Thanks, Bambi

  13. Spenser, the Bobbsey Twins are playing with the Hardy Boys again, and I think the boys are getting raging clues.

  14. Lucius, babies love beer. They love mother's milk if Mom's been drinking beer, or even if she takes some brewers' yeast.

    It will also knock 'em on their baby butts.

    ReplyDelete

  15. Lucius Septimus, this Pub is no place to put baby to sleep nor serve him beer. And please turn off the headbanger music--sheesh. Poor kid.

  17. I think one of Pink's posts from the previous thread deserves a reprint here:

    Pink Freud said...
    Time to get a couple of neologisms started:

    Obamism (pronounced O-buh-miz-m): The practice of stating that anyone
    who doesn't agree with you has some secret sinister motivation, such
    as being a Nazi, a racist, or a terrorist.

    Obamist (pronounced O-bahm-ist): One who engages in the practice of
    suggesting that those who don't agree with them have some secret
    sinister motivation, such as being a Nazi, a racist, or a terrorist.
    In other words, one who engages in Obamism.

    This is based on the same basic principle as the word "McCarthyism".

  19. Little murmurings of a new Contract With America:

    Frank Luntz, the strategist behind Newt Gingrich's Contract With America, ponders a new version for 2010.

    The GOP is sounding awfully optimistic for a party in exile. Despite their thumping at the polls this time last year, Republicans are increasingly sanguine about their chances in the 2010 midterm elections, as President Obama’s drop in popularity and the contentious politics of health care and Afghanistan have taken a toll on the public’s confidence in the Democrats.

    The last time we heard such cheer among conservatives it was 1994, and the Republican leadership was standing on the steps of the Capitol presenting its Contract With America, a plain-faced piece of policy aimed at debt reduction, lower taxes, and term limits, which helped transform a back-bench conservative insurgency into a national movement.

    Looking for a little of that old-time magic, conservative pollster Frank Luntz, the original strategist for the Contract, is mulling over a new document for 2010.

    Luntz already has a possible name—the Declaration of Re-Independence. He says he got the idea in a conversation with conservative commentator Laura Ingraham and has a concrete set of principles at the ready.

    “It would have planks for a balanced budget, an amendment to have a supermajority for tax increases, and it would oppose a mandate for health care,” said Luntz recently, by phone from Taipei, where he said he was working with the National Basketball Association.

    Little murmurings of a new Contract With America:

    That is exactly what the Republicans need....a simple, straightforward, positive plan that gives voters a clear choice. If the Republicans run on the "Obama Sucks" platform, they will lose. Of course, ideally, they should do both....offer a positive plan and trumpet to the high heavens what a terrible mess our empty-suit President has made.

  34. Wall Street Journal's Steven Moore (on Greta Van Susteren/FOX) says private Health Savings Accounts with high deductible insurance will be OUTLAWED by this government healthcare takeover plan.

    How are we supposed to help cut healthcare costs personally when "progressives" take away our means to control & decide how to spend my own healthcare dollars to keep me healthy?

  35. Here you go, Desert Dog.

    Coming right up with that Sam Adams for you Spenser.

    I'm looking for something to substantiate this, but FOX usually doesn't release the video right away.

    This is shocking, if true.

  46. Good Night C2er's. Bambi thanks for the great service. :)))

  47. I wouldn't give a drink to anyone named "Desert".

    *blah*

  48. Goodnight, Erik, thanks for stopping by. Have fun in class tomorrow!

    ReplyDelete

  49. Hi Desert, did you and Helen have a nice evening?

    ReplyDelete

  53. Good evening.

    The market was mixed today as things were sort of blah.

    There is some thought that the Dow will go back over 10,000 as folks sitting on cash are just starting to put their cash back into the market cause they are not scared to death anymore.

    But bear in mind that valuations are at about 19 times earnings, which if very high given the low profit numbers we are seeing.

    And that money just put into the market will scram as soon as they get spooked again.

  75. Uh-oh.

    Ford has some recall issues:

    Ford Adds 4.5 Million Cars to Defective Switch Recall


    "Ford Motor said Tuesday it will add 4.5 million older-model vehicles to the long list of those recalled because a defective cruise control switch could cause a fire.

    Company spokesman Wes Sherwood said 1.1 million Ford Windstar minivans will be recalled for repairs due to a small risk of fires.

    He said another 3.4 million Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles with the same switches also will be recalled even though there have been no reports of fires with them. Those vehicles mainly are trucks and sport utility vehicles.

    All vehicles covered by the recall are from the 1992 to 2003 model years."

    This will not help the effort to get the U.S. car industry back in the game. These kinds or quality issues, given the price for cars these day's, is just a pure killer to the sales numbers.

    I've bought 4 new cars in the last 10 years, all of them foreign made, and I've had a grand total of one problem, which was a bad catalytic converter which was replaced under warrantee.

    Conversely, the last new U.S. car I bought was a Chevy Malibu in 1999 brand new and the thing was often in the shop. In it's first 30,000 miles it cost me $3,000 in repairs not covered by the warrantee, and I finally traded it in to buy a foreign made job and never looked back.

  78. Kellogg's will use laser to burn logo on to individual corn flakes to stamp out fakes

    According to the advertising slogan, if you see Kellogg's on the box then you know it's Kellogg's in the box.

    But now the company has become so concerned about similarly packaged supermarket cereals, it has developed a laser to burn its logo on to individual Corn Flakes.

    The concentrated beam of light creates a toasted appearance without changing the taste.

    /that's a bit much

  87. A reader writes Glenn Reynolds:
    "I’m in my mid-fifties, and when I hear Obama say either, “Make no mistake” or “Let me be clear”, my memory inserts the word “perfectly” and I’m listening to Tricky Dick again. I haven’t heard anyone else remark upon it, though."

  88. Richard Fernandez ("Wretchard" at Belmont Club of old) is on a roll.

    Changing places discusses how in the UK the Labour Party has lately become the party of the elite and the chattering classes, and the Conservatives the party of the common man.

    Armaggedon revisited discusses the implications of a nuclear Iran (G-d forbid).

  89. With this latter cheerful thought, off to business. G'nite all!
