Damn, I guess that means he's coming back here. Oh well, his absence was nice while it lasted.
That's the way I felt when Snottie Wanker ended his ill-advised run.  Relief that he was no longer a contender for POTUS, but dismay that he was now clear to come back and finish his hatchet-job on Wisconsin.  And the record shows he lost no time in picking up where he left off.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

We white people should be relieved
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

chris Christie has just announced that all bridges connected to new jersey have been closed for traffic studies.

he declined to go on to south Carolina because, quote..., "i have no desire to squeal like a pig at the present time"

campaign donations are still welcomed and STRONGLY encouraged. after his campaign reaches its yet to be determined goal, the bridges will be re opened.

also announced by Christie...., Pot smoking is now a class 1 felony in new jersey. the governor is weighing the benefits of hanging aging hippies as an example to the impressionable youth of new jersey.

do not resist.

resistance is futile.

Marco picks up an important endorsement...

(And Jeb doesn't)
Nikki Haley endorses Marco Rubio

Washington (CNN)South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is endorsing Marco Rubio, giving the Florida senator a huge boost just days before the state's crucial Saturday primary.

Haley's endorsement came at a 6 p.m. Wednesday event in Chapin.

"If we elect Marco Rubio, every day will be a great day in America," Haley said, riffing on her signature phrase.

"I wanted somebody with fight, I wanted somebody with passion, I wanted somebody who had the conviction to do the right thing, but I wanted somebody humble enough to remember he works for all the people," Haley said.

"I wanted somebody who could show my parents that the best decision they ever made for their children was coming to America," said Haley, who is a first-generation Indian-American.

She'll be on the campaign trail with Rubio through Saturday's primary.
In general I don't think that endorsements make that much difference, but this is one that actually could. Haley is far and away the most popular political figure in South Carolina, (she has an 80% approval rating) and with 30% of likely GOP primary voters saying they haven't made a final choice, (and another 21% saying they could change their mind) at the very least an endorsement like this could make the difference between a third place finish and a strong second for Marco...

Rubio seems to have recovered from his NH debate pratfall and is rising again in the polls...

On the other hand, poor Jeb is continuing to tread water...

Rubio's personal financial history is so completely, thoroughly, idiotically, stupid that no one with any knowledge of finance would ever vote for him.


NIkki Haley looked around and said "who's ass do I kiss to move up in this party?" And made an unfortunate choice. But she didn't have any good ones, really.

RUBIO'S RESPONSE TO THE ENDORSEMENT

Let's dispel once and for all with the fiction that NIkki Haley doesn't know what she is doing, she knows exactly what she is doing. And let's dispel once and for all with the fiction that NIkki Haley doesn't know what she is doing, she knows exactly what she is doing. However, we need to dispel once and for all with the fiction that NIkki Haley doesn't know what she is doing, she knows exactly what she is doing.

jiminy Christmas!!!

you don t say anything when others (jim 8-) ) double and triple post, and they do.

and I m sorry if you don t like my youtube clips, but I m certainly not alone in using them, and I believed that you gave me hell about music videos, not cartoons, but I ll add cartoons to my list of banned posts.

any subjects that you need left alone?

I know that you don t like my politics, do I have to stop discussing them?

I actually like Gregorian chants and such, perhaps it s ok to discuss them?

I don t have much knowledge about them, but I like them.

well, that s all ive got on on that....

I won t tell you to "go fuck your dog" , that s just rude....

...but if you find some free time to be alone later.....

sheesh....

eta- and snailgate seemed so interesting and intelligent too. oh, woe is me..., woe is me....
