My wife said she has the body of a 30 year old. I told her she better give it back because she's wrinkling it!

My last two vans have been Dodge/Chrysler. I think they make the best vans, much better than the Ford I used to have.

We need to invest in blue technology.

Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) believes Caroline Kennedy is getting softer press treatment in her pursuit of the New York Senate seat than Palin did as the GOP vice presidential nominee because of Kennedy’s social class. “I’ve been interested to see how Caroline Kennedy will be handled and if she will be handled with kid gloves or if she will be under such a microscope,” Palin told conservative filmmaker John Ziegler during an interview Monday for his upcoming documentary film, “How Obama Got Elected.” Excerpts from the interview were posted on YouTube Wednesday evening. “It’s going to be interesting to see how that plays out and I think that as we watch that we will perhaps be able to prove that there is a class issue here also that was such a factor in the scrutiny of my candidacy versus, say, the scrutiny of what her candidacy may be.” Palin said she remains subject to unfair press coverage of her and her family. “Is it political? Is it sexism?” she asked. “What is it that drives someone to believe the worst and perpetuate the worst in terms of gossip and lies?” She observed that Katie Couric and Tina Fey have been “capitalizing on” and “exploiting” her. “I did see that Tina Fey was named entertainer of the year and Katie Couric’s ratings have risen,” she said. “And I know that a lot of people are capitalizing on, oh I don’t know, perhaps some exploiting that was done via me, my family, my administration. That’s a little bit perplexing, but it also says a great deal about our society.” The Alaska governor said that when she sees some of the coverage of her daughter Bristol especially “the momma grizzly rises up in me.” Looking back on the Couric interviews, Palin said she knew things were not going well after their first session and asked the McCain campaign to pull the plug on the remaining sit downs but insisted the campaign made her go through with the rest. “I knew it didn’t go well the first day, and then we gave her a couple of other segments after that. And my question to the campaign was, after it didn’t go well the first day, why were we going to go back for more?” she said. “Because of however it works in that upper echelon of power brokering in the media and with spokespersons, it was told to me that, yeah, we are going to go back for more. And going back for more was not a wise decision either.” Palin criticized Couric for the way CBS “spliced it together,” saying that “so many of the topics brought up were not portrayed as accurately as they could have, should have, been.” She also expressed frustration with Couric’s characterization of her since the interviews. After being shown a clip of Couric complaining to David Letterman that no post-election interviewer has asked Palin why she would not tell the CBS anchor what newspapers she reads, the Alaska governor responded: “Because, Katie, you’re not the center of everybody’s universe.” http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0109/17217.html ************** Waaah! It's wasn't a class issue, it was a lack of knowledge issue. And no editing was necessary to show that you couldn't answer even simple questions about newspapers. Don't blame the media for your own incompetence, although it probably plays well with your core supporters who don't believe their own lying eyes.

You hit the nail on the head. They got screwed. I hope that chiseller didn't take it awl. It doesn't sound like a frame job, he just wasn't on the level.

And people laughed at the story last year about the guy who built a female robot for companionship...

You never heard of speed reading? In the end, we're all part of the same galactic material, just shaped into different molecular structures.

Pigs with lipstick!

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Another major American industry is asking for assistance as the global financial crisis continues: Hustler publisher Larry Flynt and Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis said Wednesday they will request that Congress allocate $5 billion for a bailout of the adult entertainment industry. “The take here is that everyone and their mother want to be bailed out from the banks to the big three,” said Owen Moogan, spokesman for Larry Flynt. “The porn industry has been hurt by the downturn like everyone else and they are going to ask for the $5 billion. Is it the most serious thing in the world? Is it going to make the lives of Americans better if it happens? It is not for them to determine.” Francis said in a statement that “the US government should actively support the adult industry's survival and growth, just as it feels the need to support any other industry cherished by the American people." “We should be delivering [the request] by the end of today to our congressmen and [secretary of the Treasury Henry] Paulson asking for this $5 billion dollar bailout,” he told CNN Wednesday. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/

Now we'll get to the bottom of this....... (CNN) – Joe Wurzelbacher: Plumber. Campaign celebrity. Foreign correspondent? ‘Joe the Plumber’ is headed overseas to try his hand at covering the conflict in Gaza, Wurzelbacher’s publicist Thomas Tabback confirmed to CNN Wednesday. Wurzelbacher plans to spend 10 days in Israel reporting on the conflict for pjtv.com, a Web site run by conservative media outlet Pajamas Media. The famous plumber will be focusing on the Israeli perspective on the situation. "It's tragic, I mean it really is,” Wurzelbacher told CNN affiliate WNWO “I don't say that in any little way. It's very tragic, but at the same time what are the Israeli people supposed to do.” Wurzelbacher told WNWO he’s not worried about the potential dangers of his new gig. "Being a Christian I'm pretty well protected by God I believe. That's not saying he's going to stop a mortar for me, but you gotta take the chance,” he told the CNN affiliate. “Israeli officials are very excited to have him,” Tabback told CNN.

I worked at the same place as my girlfriend senior year of high school. She was a year younger. We were going to keep our relationship going even though I was leaving for college. Before I left I had to train a new guy to take over my job. After a few months of college I got the Dear John letter, and she was now going out with the guy who took my job. I saw her during vacation and tried to get her back but it was too late. My biggest regret was that I missed the opportunity of going with a great girl I met at the start of college because I was being faithful, and by then it was too late. Long distance romances rarely work. Since your ex was treating you badly, you should ignore her and don't look back.

I'd go with Maddow; she has better birthing hips, and looks like she would be better able to help out with chores. Coulter looks like her bones would break from any heavy duty action, and then she would expect you to wait on her.

(CNN) – Levi Johnston, the father of Sarah Palin's grandchild Tripp and fiance of daughter Bristol, quit his job earlier this week after reports that his lack of a high school diploma made him ineligible for the apprentice position he'd held since fall. Johnston's father Keith told the Anchorage Daily News that his son felt the move was "the best thing to do to kind of calm the waters, so to speak," and that his son's missing educational qualification was "just something that slipped through the cracks." "You guys are watching him so tightly," Johnston told the paper. "He's being treated different than an average 18-year-old kid. He has to do everything by the book now." Palin herself called the report a "a political potshot taken at me," that could "destroy a young man's opportunity for work." Welcome to the real world kid, where the majority of us have to do everything by the book if we want a job.

He was invited to come in and watch the swearing in ceremony, just not participate in it. And Al Frankin isn't being sworn in yet, even though he has been certified by his sec. of state as winning his election, while Burris does not yet have the required sign-off from the Illinois sec. of state.

He's a politician. He wants to secure the New York Jewish vote for his next run for mayor / senator / governor.

I liked when he was at an asian summit, walked to the door to leave, tried opening the door, and it was locked. He just stood there with a look like he didn't know what to do next. It summarized his presidency of expecting a certain result from his actions, and when those results didn't happen he didn't know what to do next.

This is true, people without preventative healthcare use the most expensive service, the emergency room, for services that would cheaper to provide from a primary physician. But since they can't afford one they go to what's available. Give them preventative healthcare with a primary physician, and emergency room costs would go down.

Bristol Palin, the teenage daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is going on the record about the recent birth of her son, Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston. In a statement dated Wednesday but posted on the Alaska governor's Web site Friday, Bristol says the pregnancy was "not ideal," but is thankful to have a family who supported her. “Teenagers need to prevent pregnancy to begin with – this isn’t ideal. But I’m fortunate to have a supportive family which is dealing with this together," Bristol Palin said in the statement. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/...ideal/#comments So is she advocating birth control for teens? And given it's posted on the Alaska governor's website, is this an endorsement of such policy by the Alaskan governor?

I just watched Denver owner Pat Bowlen's press conference. He was asked what he wanted from a new coach, and he said he wanted to win the Super Bowl. He wasn't satisfied with having a winning record or just making the playoffs. That's the difference between a committed owner and one like Ralph who settles for mediocrity.

They would blame it on the lack of fan support.

I don't care about whether the players like the coach, as long as they respect him. I played for coaches when I was in high school that I didn't like at the time because of how hard they made us work, but I respected them, and looking back I understand why they were hard on us, and it made us better players in the end.

I was watching ESPN last night and the ticker said Shanahan was let go, and I got excited about the possibility of him coming to Buffalo, and then the next ticker line said the Bills kept Jauron. I had the "wide right" feeling of disappointment. The Bills have become the LA Clippers of the NFL; satisfied with mediocrity.

Home: Miami, New England, N.Y. Jets, Houston, Indianapolis, Cleveland, New Orleans, Tampa Bay Away: Miami, New England, N.Y. Jets, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Kansas City, Atlanta, Carolina 3 wins at home, 1 on the road, and they get lucky in 1 for a 5-11 record if Dick is still the coach.

Actually the fact that the whales were extinct was what pissed off the aliens who had come back to check on them, and Kirk and crew had to go back to the past to retrieve a pair that would communicate with the aliens and save the earth.

Pats 33 Bills 16, and Dick still keeps his job!
