Hidy-ho and a jolly good morning Ali ~

Good Morning Ali,

I’ll take some of the Ben and Jerry’s “Alysin Camerahotta” I’m sure it would be great with hot fudge or caramel drizzled all over.”

Obama was an embarassment showing up late and also for turning down dinner with the leader of the country hosting the event. He had world leaders waiting on him not to mention delaying the ceremony just to make an appearance. I am sure he knew the time he had to be there yet he makes people wait just so he can be the center of attention. It’s not the first and I am sure he does so for the attention.

Ed

Ed

hi ali,
the president didn’t snub sarkosy-sakosy and carla bruni are swingers and
michelle wanted no part of that-

I only hope its real soon that Obama gets a chance to stroll around France and have fun!

Ed

G’ morning Marshall, Ed ~ I hope he gets to stroll around Paris next month on his own time and his own dime ~ wonder what Ohag’s transportation cost to meet Oplayboy for the date?

I think Obama’s denial of the French president’s dinner invite could be less of a snub and more of a difference in palates…….or shall we say a small palatial misunderstanding. Last I checked cuisines such as ratatoulie, grenouilles (frogs legs), and crepes were much more popular in France than fair such as macaroni ‘n cheese, fried chicken, and waffles.
We’ll save the Kobe beef discussion for later……

Ali, I wouldnt mind dating younger women…..”So how ya doing?”

LOL, It worked for Joey Tribiani.

Ed

Okay first time blogger ever, I am a die hard republican cause I am smart. I just finished the rerun of Beck cause I can,t sleep. ( pmMENOPAUSE) I guess I can describe myself as a somewhat angry white woman. I am glad he went to dinner with his wife over the fFrance power couple, maybe they just wanted their date night, remember he is married to a smart black woman, they are smart to keep their date night. Maybe he just dosen,t want to temp the first lady of France, or mmaybe the Pres of France gave him a wink and he felt a little disturbed!!

Only rich golfing young men!

I’ll date any age if the vibes are right. BTW:Someone should tell the person responsible for titling the pic insets that the correct word is “DISPARITY” not DISPERITY.

…….ewwww gross! (the hot dog eater)

Good Morning from Flyover. It looks like another beautiful day in the making.

Since when did Obummer turn down a free meal? I don’t know the entire itinerary, but I do think it was a big snub. People with no class tend to do that.

Have a great show and a Blessed day, one and all.

Is there anything the President does that you give credit. I turn to your station when nothing else is on. Your time slot usually is at a nothing else is on hour. Does that tell you anything. No it was not a snub, just honesty, not to popular in your world or station. But I’m sure you and the Inquirer emplayees have the atitude that you can laugh on the way to the bank. Enjoy your money, you have earned it at the cost of you honor.

I think the reason why he didn’t go out with President Sarkozy and his wife is that he can’t speak french and did not want to show his ignorance!

Date night with the President – if you had a check book with no limits, I would have a date night several times a week with my wife. Like most of us these days – I am limited by other expenses (cost of living).

Yes he snubed the French President. He is our Politician representing us in another country not a tourist.

Good morning Alisyn,
I am up and I have my cupa, and am not the first! Boo hoo…but at least I wasn’t up at 4a, and that’s a good thing. Settling in now for the best of the best on the weekends. ~~sigh~~ so nice.

Ben and Jerry’s flaming liberals and their icecream is too expensive and to many fat grams!!

I agree on curbing the vitriol. When we can’t listen to and respond respectfully and thoughtfully to the opinions of those who disagree with us, we needn’t respond at all.

I think President Obama could have given a little more thought to his apparent snub of President Sarkozy. I believe that he was trying to come across as not wanting to “party” when his country is in such dire financial trouble. Unfortunately, the press didn’t read it that way.

Queen Gini, do you have cookies prepared for everyone?

did I violate the numbers of charachters? I do not see my blog

I am very uncomfortable with Pres Nobama and the French Prez, whats was up with their hands? that reply was either a result of Jet lag or they 2 Prez already had dinner together!!

Alisyn,
I haven’t paid much attn to this at all, but has he gone to dinner with any other heads of state? Maybe it’s just not on his agenda, to be fair, on this one trip.
Michelle could meet him anywhere she wishes, I would think? They are free to move around just like anyone else, so it might be common, for a wife of an executive person, to meet where he might be? One does wonder what part is on the tax dime, and what part is on their dime, but I actually don’t care at all. It’s an expensive proposition to transport and secure the prez and fam, regardless of what they are doing…hum?
I agree absolutely…and hopefully all will be calm and peaceful today, as that is the expectation of everyone who comes here, and indeed why we come here, and not somewhere else. So goodmorning all my fellow bloggers. It’s gorgeous today in Ohio. A new day and I am smilin’ huge!

Or maybe they couldn’t find any restaurant that allows teleprompters!

Roasalie, did you work last night or were you up with small baby? Sound a little angry to me!!

Good morning Erik,
YES, I do have cookies and coffee for everyone. Brought home yesterday, and I actually didn’t eat them all, YET!!! ha! lol

Yes, I would wear those pamns! I am 52, fat and over fifty and yes an angry white female!!

Oh Frank…now that is funny!!! lol I am curious if he has gone to dinner with any other heads of state. lol

Mrs. Ohagama jetted across the Atlantic for an intimate (ha!) dinner with Ofrugal and I doubt she flew commercial ~ think the county’s financial trouble was on their minds?

Good morning Gin, Dog, Frank and all ~

Gini, I heard a rumor that Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich and Ross Perot all live in a tree together where they make cookies! I also hear that their soft batch oatmeal raisin is pretty good too!

Good morning, Alisyn! You’re especially lovely today in your ruby red dress and very pretty necklace. I love your heart-shaped pendant

Most of us are here, I think, because we enjoy watching Fox News Channel, and in particular, your very personable presence and outstanding skills as a co-host and interviewer of both serious and fun topics. I’ve also enjoyed to behind-the-scenes photos that you’ve posted from the Green Room from time to time. I’ve also learned quite a bit of interesting, insightful, and sometimes funny posts and links posted here.

There are very fine people posting on this blog who share a camaraderie and perspectives with respect. On the other hand, there are a very small number of people who seem to have made it their mission to insist, in a rather disrespectful manner at best, and combative at worst, that they know best and everyone else is wrong.

As a Fox News fan, I enjoy the fair and balanced reporting and the “we report, you decide” philosophy. Certainly all points of view are and should be welcome if the intent is to participate in a healthy discussion, rather slam your show or those of us who enjoy viewing it.

Great Erik, now I want a cookie!

Sunday Sunday na na naanaa

Good Morning !! I’m torn this morning, I’m happy to be hanging with you but bummed T has to work today.

Alisyn,
Hummm…well, a snub? One just doesn’t know, actually. Swingers marshall? YIKES! lol That would be a reason, but I would think he would be safe enough, wouldn’t you? YIKES, again. lol

Ali I just flew American Airlines to Vegas. Your knees are almost touching the seat in front of you. You can barely set the tray down in front of you and if the guy in front is leaning back expect to be wedged in. You cant stand up and get out with out the people next to the aisle stand up and get out. You cant even bend over to get you bag if stored in front of you. All the seats were full, and dont even talk to me about the small connector flights that were packed.

I usually fly Southwest and if I have my choice will do so as much as possible.

Ed

Erik,
Are you sure it wasn’t “the mother ship”? Ah ha! My fav are the almond…altho there are raisin oatmeal, and choc chip, in the package. YUMMY! lol And does soul the soul, for sure, and causes smiles too, another side affect of COOKIES, so I recommend them, of course. hum?

Good morning Ms Alisyn,

First things first, Welcome Ms Kathleen. It is always a pleasure to have a new face here on the blog.

In case anyone missed it yesterday I am a new grandpa. If you click on my name you can see a couple of pictures of Mom and the new entry into the human race.

chas

I’m not even talking about Oinsulteveryone!

I love Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey (I think that’s what is called), I need another cup of coffee to come up with names for what you guys ice cream LOL hope it comes out better then my slogans yesterday

Morning Chas I seen pictures of the baby!! I’m so happy for you! I even told some of my friends here last night about her, we had a toast for the Grandpa & said a blessing for the baby

Gini, are you sure it’s almond and not cyanide? hmmmm……

Aliyson:

L’affront de Sarcozy était intentionnel et individu indulgent ! Obama is a master at marketing himself, his brand, his ideology. Obama is a brilliant politician and his actions are deliberate. I find the snub distasteful on many levels, particularly because I find it self-indulgent. I admire that he values his wife and his marriage, but our country is in economic turmoil. Flying into NY for dinner and a show, and a night out in Paris is the midst of economic collapse and while on the people’s business on a diplomatic mission is decadent and hedonistic.

Good morning Rose Get over here Kathleen, and sit by me. I have cookies AND coffee, or tea, actually.

Thank you Eileen.

snubs abound in this administration only to be followed by “my bad” (and that makes it all better) of the “In the Tankers”. The queen was snubbed from the D-Day presentations, the dinner snub with Sarkozy, not stopping in Isreal while in the middle east. But there are perfectly good “reasons” for all of these….after all it’s Obama

Good morning chas, what a cute addition to your beautiful family ~ she’s a doll!

Good morning Alisyn

Hello all ….

Alisyn….I am an Italian AMERICAN, but I don’t think that gives me any special insite or ability to rule on matters concerning the Italian Mafia (if it even exists…hey….) so what makes our Supreme Court nominee think that being a Latina woman gives her special abilities to rule than a white male

Alisyn, Why did you ditch the beautiful necklace this morning? It is a Judith Ripka, right? I love her designs. Thanks for bringing us such truthful reporting over the weekend!

Congrats Chas spoil your grandchild then send them home…..a parent’s revenge….LOL

YIKES Betty!!! Hum. I am pretty sure it’s almond? lol ~~chuckle~~ I’ve already had “several”, and seem to be my usual self? YIKES, again! That is usually an ok thang. lol

Ali,

Your necklace is breathtaking! Do you mind sharing the designer??

Long time watcher, first time blogger!

Debra

Thanks Dom.

Alisyn plays “Now you see it, now you don’t” with viewers

At 6 a.m. you had this beautiful necklace with a very pretty and sparkly pink heart-shaped pendant. Then after a couple of commercial breaks, you reappear without the necklace. Now at 7 a.m. you have the necklace on again! What a tease!!! What happened? Did it come loose?

There he is, Spector, making a “spectacle” of himself. I wonder if he will get elected again? or if people will wonder who he wishes to be “really”, next time?

Welcome to the Blog Debra

She is testing to see if we are really awake & watching LOL

Welcome to the blog Ms Debra. Stick around and have fun.

chas

Good morning Debra, and welcome to the best place in town. The necklace is breath taking, isn’t it? lol Alisyn always looks wonderful, but is shy about compliments to herself. We tell her anyway. lol

Good morning, Alisyn and everyone.

No ice cream names yet?

Ali’s Treasure
Dave-a-licious Delight
Clayton’s Consolation

Welcome Debra and good morning Marine ~

Well thanks everyone.

Hi Betty … pray all is well

Debra,

I am pretty sure Alisyn’s necklace was a Judith Ripka design. I just don’t know why she took it off, it went perfectly with her dress.

Good morning Dom,
An excellent question, I think. But, of course, the question is, will she stick to her real job, of protecting the constitution from interpretation never intended, or will she “legislate” fr the bench. We hope the “agenda” is left behind, when someone, anyone, is elevated to such a responsibility. She becomes a “watcher” for the whole country at that point, and not just for Latino women, hum?

Just what a guy like me needs, less leg room. As it is my knees end up around my ears now. I wonder if I will have to check my legs at the baggage counter?

chas

good morning all

welcome Kathleen from a fellow peri-menopausal—sleep is foreign to me as well—

We had date night last night–but it was on our dime—nice dinner at Ruth’s Chris—yummo!!

Was a big loser with the ponies yesterday—only came home with $30—oh well–we had a fabulous day though!!

I don’t besmirtch them the opportunity to have dinner in supposedly the most romantic city on earth–(i’ve never been to paris, but i still think Italy is more romantic)—- but doesn’t it behoove him to take care of state business first—and if that means dinner with heads of state, then so be it. Obooger needs to suck it up—it’s not all about him. I can’t imagine they couldn’t squeeze the Sarcozy’s into their schedule somewhere??? Other President’s have managed to maintain decorum.

Jim H… Good morning, and I agree absolutely. St, good morning to you also, and I do wonder why our prez does some of the things he does. I guess there are some things we just don’t get to know at all. The appearance of little regard for the belt tightening in the country, does cause one to pause.

Dating and the unemployed……..interesting bit but here’s my take. Now I’m not equating being unemployed with being a bad person and vice versa necessarily, but why does the good guy always end up with the house and car payments while the bad boy gets the hot time? I’m just sayin’…..

Where is all this vitriol? Need something to help wake me up this morning! lol

I agree, why is he dissing so many?

Hi Gini,

Her sworn job is to rule on the Constitutionality of the law ….not to make law. Looking at her history, the fact that 60% of her rulings have been overturned, her comments, he stance on very controversial things (i.e., the 2nd Amendment) .. I really don’t want to see her confirmed….but I know she probably will be

Good morning A Wall..thankfully, I am past all “that”, ha! But, still find myself waking at 4a, hum? YIKES! lol
I think that the job does have it’s responsibilities, and one continues to wonder abt our new prez and his wife, and just what’s up with it all. I would be much more appreciative, I think, of seeing the fam together, than being subjected to “date nite” w/the wife. We do treasure those pics, don’t we? from former admin’s and the “family”. lol

Sarkozy came across as more pro-American than some of the others giving speeches yesterday. Kind of surprised me.

marine

I think we’re all probably on the same page with this one.

Joe I felt the same way as I was watching that yesterday

Is this the guy Obama was talking about; “Clinging to his Bible and Guns”?

chas

I am not a big fan of France or or SaCOZY(up to everyone but the US) … but isn’t it part of Omememe’s job to not blow off other heads of state especially when he is there BEGGING them to take our Gitmo terrorists?? Just a thought

Gini

You’re right on that count–he hasn’t jumped on AF1 to take the kids to Disneyland yet…….They seem to be Very sheltered—

Searchers found two bodies and a briefcase containing a ticket for Air France Flight 447 in the Atlantic Ocean close to where the jetliner is believed to have crashed, a Brazil military official said Saturday.

The U.S. Navy is sending two “pinger locators” to aid in the deep sea search for the “black box” from the ill-fated flight, U.S. officials told NBC News. The U.S. officials said the locators will be towed behind two French tug boats that are en route to the site. The listening devices can detect signals from a pinger at 20,000 feet, nearly four miles, beneath the ocean’s surface.

Hopefully this will be a simple deep sea extraction.. KUDOS TO THE PRESIDENT ..WHOS NEEDS TO GO TO FRANCE AND EAT FRENCH FRIES…

Dom,
I agree, she will be our new Supreme Court person, so we will wait to see exactly how seriously she takes her job, hum? There have been surprises b/4, and maybe this time, we will get a good judge after all, despite all that has been written and said by herself, and abt her also. It would be really really nice to have a “good surprise” for a change, hum? I am pretty thoroughly exhausted with it all…like most of us, fatigue is setting in big time!!! lol
Are you packed and ready to go!!! lol

No more leg room on planes—woo hoo—–bring on those DVT’s

Me – It is a crazy world we are living in. When an editor of Newsweek listens to that speech and compares Obama to God, I think the journalistic line has been crossed. Main stream media has become nothing more than a propaganda machine.

Good morning Alisyn, all

I only read a small paragraph concerning the president and his invitation to dinner. From what I read he has his daughters with him this time and they had planned dinner on top of the Eiffel tower and he did not want to disappoint his children.

Thank you for taking the time to bring attention to the vitriol. I am a liberal who enjoys listening AND sharing ideas that are NOT popular on this blog. I do know for a fact many contributors have left because of the animosity and insults they face while being a contributor on your blog. Now that you have made your views apparent (once again) I am sure the amount of your contributors will increase.

Personally I just use the scroll key lots! LOL

Now if only we could get the offensive racial comments about waffles and mac-n-cheese exspelled from this blog life would be good.

Congratulations to you and your daughter Chas. Welcome Haley.

Namaste’ (L0RBE103)

Not quite yet Gini….week from today, I’ll be home already…..LOL

Isn’t vitriol the stuff Ted Mack use to take?

chas

A Wall..I have wondered why he is never home. Sheltered is fine, but there is the appearance of never being there at all. Being an army brat, that occurred in our house a lot, but he is, after all, the prez, so he can be where ever he pleases after all, and one would think some of the pics would be of “family”, after all? lol He has a lot to say abt it all, so would be nice if he “appeared” to practice what he preaches. A huge job, being prez, so I guess it’s hard to find the time, after all?? lol

Chas ok? lol ~~sigh~~

Obama was in France on STATE BUSINESS. He should have dined with Sarkozy. This
“we’re buddies anyway” excuse was mutually self-serving (to Obama and Sarkozy).

Obama snubbed Sarkozy, possibly in reposnse to an unflattering post- G 20 interview Sarkozy gave in which he implied that Obama was naive, possessing no administrative experience and a desire to be liked by everyone.

ALISYN PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!

Where did you get that necklace? I’ve loved it since you first started wearing it.

Sorry I’m off topic.

If Lori is indeed correct about the kids being in France, then where were they—going to the D-Day ceremony would have been a fabulous learning experience for them and they would have been there as a Family—

Gini, — I too haven’t seen any pics of family time, or that they’re even there. who knows????

Good morning everyone from a very foggy KS.
President Sarkozy has been much more pro America than past leaders of France, so even the appearance of snubbing him was rude and unacceptable for a U.S. president.

I wondered abt that also A Wall? Maybe the long flights won’t suffer the small space? And what does one do if they are tall tall? Are they going to have to buy two seats and sit sideways? lol One wonders what the thought process is, other than money, of course, to put so many in jeopardy. lol

Cool, I didn’t know we could post youtube links.

Ya know if SNL doesn’t capitalize on the Obama/Sarkozy interaction they are really missin’ the boat. I smell an odd couple spoof or perhaps a three’s company slant…..enter Hillary.

One wonders why the appearance of a snub at all. Again, however, has he dined w/any other heads of state? or is this not going to happen at all, this trip. He does many things that are very curious. IF the children are w/them, that would be wonderful, of course, as this would definitely be an educational experience, and it would be nice to see pictures of course, as we are all interested, as he is the prez, after all? I thought the Notre Dame event would have been an excellent educational trip also, as that campus is gorgeous and steeped in history. But, I am not in charge of his “day book”, so one cannot really know what’s up, hum? lol

IDK A wall, I was surprised to even read about his children being in France. The kids are usually off limits for reporting their where-abouts … So who knows maybe they were in attendance.

Good morning joe doe,
Well, IF one knows how, hum??? ~~laughing~~ I am able to get here, and so am smilin’ huge. Anything else is beyond me altogether!!! ha!

James F… You do make me smile!!!

Good morning Gini, Chas, and everyone

I can’t stay very long this morning … have to be at church 45 minutes early today … so have to start getting ready soon! Here are a few tidbits that may be of interest:

About declining the French President Sarkozy’s invitation to dinner, Mr. Obama dismissed the idea that it was a snub, saying “I have a very tough schedule and I would love nothing more than to have a leisurely week in Paris, stroll down the Seine, take my wife out to a nice meal …Those days are over for the moment” (Source: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.f81c21b2e705813bf48fa8f9241d53af.201&show_article=1)
Actually, Mr. Obama did take his wife out to a nice dinner in Paris last night after all, sans kids.

Earlier, a reporter wrote: “The bottom line is they want to have a family night somewhere with the girls (could be dinner at the Tour Eiffel). … the Obama team asked the U.S. embassy to find them a restaurant and the U.S. embassy turned to the French authorities for help because they have to close the neighborhood.” (Source: http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/06/02/michelle-obama-daughters-headed-to-paris/)

The first lady and children apparently were accompanied by quite an entourage (mother-in-law and others besides deputy chief of staff Melissa Winter and spokesman Catherine McCormick-Lelyveld and secret service ) … look at the second photo here: http://thisweekwithbarackobama.blogspot.com/2009/06/flotus-wgirls-at-eiffel-tower-paris.html

Good morning all–

joined just in time to hear the “legroom on airplanes” piece, followed by the “peetime” piece….good to start out slow…gotta ease into the heavy stuff. LOL

Alisyn,
It would be a common practice, that the children would be on film, even if they are “off limits”, as they should be of course. IF they are with them, are we the citizen, the only one’s that don’t know? After all…the bad guys always know what’s up? I would love to see pictures of our first family, together, in Paris. I see nothing abt that, which is intrusive at all. lol

Good Morning Alisyn and everyone,
Well said Rose in Michigan,
all of us here enjoy watching Fox News channel,
and I dont want someone coming on here….and tell us to go watch another network,
how insulting is that to Alisyn, and all of us Fox viewers.

Good morning Anita! ah ha! lol ~~laughing~~ another cupa, perhaps? would help you along. I haven’t flown in a while…well, actually, abt five yrs now, in fact. Don’t look forward to flying either. What use to be an adventure and fun, is now becoming a trial of patience and endurance. lol And definitely, no shoes that tie, hum? Slides, only, for ease of removing? lol

G’ morning Sal

Good morning to all:

I think we are all scrutinizing Obama’s every activity because;
1: he is on the tube more than any other president
2: he made so many promises to the poor and middle class that we see no evidence of him being able to fulfull
3: the media has made such a big deal over him and how much smarter and more charming he is but he seems to not really understand protocol.

Has any of the stimulus money actually been released? That is what I want to know- I mean other that the extra $13.00 a pay check!

Good morning Sal…another gorgeous day here in the great state of Ohio. Ditto, kiddo! lol I don’t think we are goin’ anywhere tho, cause we do love Aly, and the FOX channel, after all? And have been hangin’ out for a long time now. All is well..calm, nice and fun. lol And here we are!!! YES! lol

Good Morning Betty.

Hi gini!

I fly quite a bit and am a preferred frequent flyer on US Airways…of my last 4 trips (which was a total of 16 individual flights), US Air automatically upgraded me to First Class 4 times (I believe because they needed coach seats)…those flights were only 1-1 1/2 hours each, but it was still heaven to sit in a first class seat.

We always fly Southwest when possible. Nice seats and great service. The flight attendants are usually lots of fun too. We have also had good luck with Frontier.

Gini, yes its a beautiful day and I like that… ditto kiddo ..lol

Hi Sal: How are you today? Do you have to work? Hey Liz K! Betty!

wildmansteve.com is NOT a website I will be visiting anytime soon!

Good morning Carolyn,
True..he does seek publicity at every turn, so the complaint of is a bit curious. lol IF in the news every day, instead of behind his desk at the WH, one might expect a bit of concern by some? whether he understands he is now the prez, and can stop with the campaigning. Oh well…and so it goes, in the land of “As the Government Turns”, starring yada yada yada. We have become accustomed to our new admin, and their antics, which appear a bit strange to this citizen, anyway. lol Protocol? Apparently the grp accompanying our prez isnt up to snuff on that subject?

oh, clayton…too funny with that “boozing” adlib

Good Morning Alisyn, Chas, Gini, Liz K, Carolyn, Sal, Dog and anyone else that I forgot, oh yes, Marine.

Hey let’s face it, the “ofrequentflyer” and his mdatenight can do whatever they please, he is the King of the world don’t ya know?

We are paying for it over and over and over and over …….

————————————————————————————————————
I agree Joe.

Gini, I need a cookie! My first post of the date went into cyber somewhere. And it was a really really good one too! Apparently wordpress didn’t like my comment about the “one” snubbing Sarkozy. I said he can do anything that he wants. He is the King of the world don’t ya know?

G’ morning Carolyn. Our economy is in the trash yet Ofirsthag flew in a separate plane to Paris?

Sal… We went on a rhyming thang, yesterday, but will not subject all to that today! hahahaha!!! lol Well, prob not, anyway. lol ~~giggle~~ One never knows, after all?? what “lurks” in this brain of mine. lol

You just get over here Mary. Kathleen is already here, and we are having fun, with Aly on Fox, this morning. lol ha! YES, we are. lol

Good Morning Carolyn, saturday is a half day,and sunday is my day off, Thank God.

This show is BAD! Just a buch of wanna-be Seinfelds.
And as for Ali, what a ding-bat,…sincerely!

ok – I am learning that everything this “president” does has an ulterior motive – everything – one would be prudent to look, listen, and read between the lines – isnt the President of France cracking down on all the muslims there – hmmmm

I wish I could trust this President but I do not -

Sarcozy is the most pro-American president France has had in years. He is a conservative who campaigned on national identity, security and economic reforms — including curbing union powers, cutting punitive taxes and eliminating “social charges” for those who want to work more than 35 hours per week. He’s dedicated to steering France away from Socialism.

I’d say it’s always all about the President, or at least that is what he believes.

First half way friendly leader we’ve had in France in decades and Obama blows him off. Nice play Mr. President.

chas

Anita,
I did remember you were a “frequent flyer” and it is a relief you get upgraded and I sure hope that continues! lol It is too bad, however, they have decided to make the trip less comfy than it already was, hum? One is already confined, after all, in a small space, so it would be better if at least there was leg room for the average citizen. lol

I think it’s a disgrace that Obama snubbd Sarkozy and instead took his wife out to a ‘romantic’ dinner, along with his being late for a meeting with other leaders.
I am tired of Obama running all over the world on the US tax dollar when so many people are out of work and barely able to survive! Will the media, other than FOX, ever get that he is just a power hungry man who is acting more like a giddy little boy than the leader of what nI’m afraid used to be the most powerful nation in the world?
I hope all the people who voted for him in November are ready for all the changes to our whole world. I for one am glad I’m not under 50!

Lanna – YES YES YES – there is the rub – America has been in anti-France mode for awhile but this new guy does not fit into Obama’s and Soros NWO model – there it is – there is always a game – a dangerous game -

The mission of Obama is to change everything I guess whether good or bad, just change. Unfortunately, change from what? The message has been “BUSH BAD”: “CHANGE GOOD”. When in fact, without an honest evaluation by the media, which is who many people rely upon to get their opinions, we are possibly throwing out the baby with the bath water. And with all of the HATE BUSH websites where another large number of people get their daily nourishment, we will not know if CHANGE is all it’s cracked up to be even as we demand it because we have been told “CHANGE IS GOOD”.

The media and the hate sites are not discussing how many BUSH policies Obama has actually taken up as his own. Frustrating when only part of the story is being told!

chas

Chas,
So far our new prez hasn’t gotten a very good grade in protocol, hum? No surprises here at all…he is continuously inappropriate at every turn, so one just kind of hopes no one is noticing?? Kind of reminiscent of the “Beverly Hillbillies” actually? And we all saw that sitcom every week, so are in tune with it all? lol

Sarcozy is the most pro-American president France has had in years. He is a conservative who campaigned on national identity, security and economic reforms — including curbing union powers, cutting punitive taxes and eliminating “social charges” for those who want to work more than 35 hours per week. He’s dedicated to steering France away from Socialism.

~~~~~~~~

Can we switch Presidents?????

Good Morning everyone. I woke up again this morning and God is good.

I cross my heart and hope to die
if I poke a finger in another eye.

Never thought I’d hear myself say something like i just said—oh my!!

A Wall… Now, that is funny!!!

Good idea A Wall.

chas

Olin… Good morning and how are you? That is hilarious! lol

A Wall, I’m in agreement with you, I’d rather have Sarcozy as prez than Olookatme ~

Someone who doesn’t have a good seamstress handy Chas??? ha! OR, someone who just doesn’t have a clue, perhaps??? lol ~~laughing~~ lol

A-Wall – I know exactly how you feel! – I feel the same way – but it is prudent for all of us to be alert and awake -

France has a horrible problem with the muslim residents who have sequestered themselves into an area where the police won’t even go. They have set up a separate society inside of Paris. Remember all of the car burnings two years ago. Remember when the school girls were being asked to not wear their burkas for security reasons?

“The only thing growing faster than the federal government’s deficit is Chris Matthews’ man-crush on Barack Obama,” Governor Tim Pawlenty said.

lol

A Wall..LOL

We could contemplate the switch however, since birth certs seem to have gone by the wayside? One need not prove their citizenship these days, apparently…unless of course, a person who is not in “favor with the media”…now THEY would have to produce their whole fam, hum??? ALL of them thar folks would be up for scrutiny. lol

for those of you who wanted to see pictures of the first family and children in France here ya go..

You know, I saw a video on liveleak.com that the “one” was also snubbed. However, the MSM will never report that. There were several that went through the receiving line that refused to shake his hand.

I think the “one” being snubbed is news worthy. Why, you may ask? Because he is not well liked in some of the other countries, duh!

annnndddd…..as a natural progression….i’d rather have Mrs. Sarcozy as the first lady ….ehemmmm…..

BTW – I’m back….still having computer problems…had to change computers

chas

the only reason for wearing pants with a low crotch is–well as the old tune goes—

Do your b_ _ _ s hang low, do they wobble to and fro, can you tie them in a knot, can you tie them in a bow

OK, I’ve reached a new low—and as Gini says, “and so it goes”

I think we should offer free Martyrdom to all the thugs in Gitmo. Group discounts available.

Lizzy…attention to it all, for sure. lol Good morning.

Ron! That is a plan, also, and one that may be implemented if some have their way, hum? lol

We, as Americans, need an American leader, someone to unite us together, based on our constitution, and the rule of law – our roots – not a dem or repub but an American -

I think that it is the President’s job to meet and dine with the heads of states when he is traveling overseas. If he wants to have a “date night” with his wife in Paris then he should do that on a separate night or on another trip. He has been hired as the leader of our country by the people and having dinner with heads of states is part of his job description.

~~laughing~~ A Wall!!! lol

Lizzy….that would be a nice change

Good one A-wall!

The problem continues to be that it feels like he is putting his personal attitudes ahead of the security of the nation. It feels like he should be home “holding our hands” but he does not know how to do that! We had a minister at our church who was the greatest sermon giver ever but when it came time to “pastor” or counsel members of the congregation, he would pass us off to the elders, who only met once a week or by appointment! It was very disconcerting to many of us!

Morning all– a question for the blog, particularly Chas, as he seems to pay attention to things like this, but when Sarcozy was elected, wasn’t there a huge dust up about him being a fiscal conservative and W was all happy, buddy buddy? He did replace Jacques “socialism rocks”, after all. Perhaps the dinner conversation would’ve upset the 1st Couple’s digestion more than the butter, cream and escargot?? I’m thinking the O’s maybe declined, so they wouldn’t have to hear it about the US becoming more socialistic than EU??

On a petty note (sorry about the vitriol, but I have tricep envy) Mrs. Sarcozy has better arms than Mrs. O, not to mention the parts we sit on for dinner!!

Jp

lizzy,

Agreed–

now I’d like to see the birth certificate of our current President?? And while I’m at it, I’d also like to see the articles, papers, etc. both he and his wife wrote while in college, law school, etc. I’m not convinced yet and no proof is being offered—and when asked they blow it off.

Gini – our “President” needs to be vetted NOW – It is obvious he is being protected – but the issue remains and will always be in Americas hip pocket should we need it – BO will cross the line for most Americans eventually – then we will see -

No free speech here?

Lizzy,
Ideally that is what is supposed to happen, once the election is over, and we have chosen a leader. They are at that point, supposed to looking to protecting and defending the USA, above the fray, of course. Some have tried hard, to cross over the aisle to reach out, but have been unable to successfully pull that off. One might read Chas’ piece on that subject. lol The “ideal” falls short, most of the time, unfortunately, for the citizen. lol

Good morning Patriots!!

Moderation of someones comments shows a weak stance.

Wall..
The birth certificate has been shown.. but I’m sure there are those who would insist it’s been photoshopped..

Some just refuse to believe anything..

Has anyone noticed the Obummers have not chosen and CHURCH to worship in, while in Washington. Haven’t seen them go to services yet—or did I miss something. I recall each and every President being shown to go to services with his family on many many occasions> Makes one wonder????? hmmmmm?????

JP,

You recall correctly. But his attempts to back off the socialism has not gone as well as he wanted. For example when he tried to make it so people could be fired in the first year on the job Paris went nuts.

Basically France wants to have it’s cake and eat it too. The Country is going broke and he was elected to stop the decline, but they want it done without cutting back on anything or raising taxes.

chas

I was busy and missed the name(s) of the book on Weeds you can eat. Could I get them some how.
The economy is so bad I may have to start eating out, side that is.

Good morning 6cane.

chas

JP…good morning. Nothing abt that comment that is vitriol, I think? When did the arms become popular, hum? Ladies always covered their arms, except when in a very casual environment, and First Ladies, always kept the arms covered, out of respect. Missing with this couple, at every turn, would seem? So, no hope, however, it would be nice if this didn’t catch on, hum? lol Oh well…and so it goes. lol ha! lol

Jesus Christ is the authority on Inspiration… to the world,
our time and date is based on our Lord Jesus Christ.

morning all…..
interesting you speak of cake and France Chas…..rememeber “Let them eat cake.” ? LOL

And speaking of services, time to get ready for church myself. Stepson get confirmed—God give me strength–his egg donor will be there—-my horns are showing.

I would like some eggs, bacon and hasbrowns this morning…….hmmmmmm is that a flavor of ice-cream.
Ewwwwww LOL

Lyn…. if you are having trouble making ends meet …. don’t stretch the middle, move the ends….much like this administration. Print more money — with nothing to back it up …. when we fall, I hope everone has a parachute cause it’s going to be a long, hard drop

A Wall

The first family went to church on Easter, that is the only time I remember them being shown going to church

Gini, A-Wall and all – I agree – and that is what the powers that be are counting on – for many many years – Soros, Kissinger, rockefeller, david Einshower, and many more are at the root of all this – their “group” believe their time has come -

but I believe and Hope that their boy, BO, will cross the line of toleration and awaken the Amercan sleeping giant -

talk about not believing what you are writing – whew -
but …… it is the prudent thing to do – peacefully – that is the key – they are trying to anger us to revolt – we must remain peaceful – it is possible

I see now that my browser refreshed that indeed others noticed the same thing I had about the possible political frostiness…if the first family really had dinner on the Eiffel Tower, did we (US taxpayers) have to pay to clear the rest of the restaurant so that the Secret Service could do their jobs and protect them?

Yes, from what I understand about Paris, there are LOTS of neighborhoods NOONE will enter willingly w/out a bhurka…much less their hammer pants

6cane…good morning to you! A beautiful day in this fab country, hum? Lyn T…too funny!!! we may all be “eating out”, soon? maybe not so funny after all?? YIKES! lol A Wall…they have not chosen a place of worship yet, that I know of anyway. It is the usual, of course, but not required after all? One is curious, however, where he does get his council on faith, or do we already know????? Good question, of course, and the lack of choice, does cause speculation, of course. lol

6canecorsosinohio, come on over. No hashbrowns, but just fixed the rest for my son and husband who are in a golf tournament today…..cinnamon rolls too!

I think many of us “regulars” have felt vitriolic at the lack of curiosity by the media about Obama’s background. They published every word of every Bush military record, though. And then filled in the blanks with their own fantasies about where he was and what he was doing! I also believe many people are feeling betrayed by a media who covers up for a guy they like and but goes after conservatives or republicans. Speaker Gingrich and Speaker Pelosi for example of totally different treatment. They love Sotomayor but hated Gonzales. They love Obama but hated Clarence Thomas. We are expected to not see the inconsistencies and are constantly told that we should over look that and move on and get on board with what ever the leftist media sees fit to report upon. That is why we like Fox because it is not so heavy handed trying to beat us over our heads with propaganda. Yay Foxnews!

Hi Chas…….Its a beautiful morning in OHIO ! I hope its bright and sunny where you are!

Cant touch this!!! HA!!!!!!!!

JP….not only that….how did the “family” get to Paris? Maybe I missed it, but I haven’t heard how that took place ….AF2?

Whos said this?

Because when a case comes before me involving, let’s say, someone who is an immigrant — and we get an awful lot of immigration cases and naturalization cases — I can’t help but think of my own ancestors, because it wasn’t that long ago when they were in that position.

But when I look at those cases, I have to say to myself, and I do say to myself, “You know, this could be your grandfather, this could be your grandmother. They were not citizens at one time, and they were people who came to this country.”

And that goes down the line. When I get a case about discrimination, I have to think about people in my own family who suffered discrimination because of their ethnic background or because of religion or because of gender. And I do take that into account.

Justice Sam Alito

A Wall…enjoy, smile huge, and those loverly eyes, hum??? ha! lol

I like my hashbrowns all the way…with onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers,,,,yummmm

and cheese!!!

Cinnamon rolls ……YUM Be right there….I woke up hungry!!!

I have cookies? But, the breakfast being described sound way better!!!! YUM, is right. lol Good morning Jimmy…our resident cook, rhymer, and all around nice guy. lol

Cow and Global warming ……. Man intervening???? NOT Much FATH IN GOD HMMMMM

Lovely day here in MD also 6cane. Welcome to Ms Alisyn’s blog.

chas

Lori: Help me to understand the context of your last post.

Chas Cinnamon rolls ~~sigh~~ now, that sounds just wonderful. lol

morning Gini….no poems today, please….way to early! LOL

Jimmy……..that is my favorite way to have hasbrowns! But, in all honesty, I am a potato addict and will take them anyway they are served and at anytime of the day. LOL

I think yesterday was the Obama’s youngest daughter’s birthday…..That maybe why thay didn’t have dinner with the Frech President!

6cane…it’s the very best of the best, and welcome. We do have the very best time, and Aly is smart and fun, and hey! looks great as well, hum? lol

Morning all,

Dinner in Paris is nice, but Ofrequentflier needs to remember he is there on business and this is not a personal vacation.

A special good morning to Grampa Chas….

6cane..oh yes, me too! Will eat tators any way they are served, and prob will want to eat all that is fixed, as well. YIKES! lol ~~laughing~~ lol

TrishTx, from what I read the dinner was only Ohag & Ofrugal, no kids. (at least from what I read)

Gini, can’t make it for the cookies today, the cinnamon rolls are smelling so much better, mmmmm

Re: Gas, Is that segment a joke or what?

Could be Trish,

Sasha’s day of birth has been variously reported as June 7th, 8th, and 10th. We believe June 10th is correct, based on a 10 June 2008 blog post by Washington Post reporter Howard Kurtz, in which he quotes Obama as telling a hospital patient’s mother that “today is the 7th birthday of his daughter Sasha.”

Okay I am trying to pretend that this is the best oatmeal ever! Better than hashbrowns drowned in cheese, bacon and cheese omelette and toast!

Frank…good morning, and of course, that would be the whole point of this trip, after all, unless it is indeed, not abt anything but the baby girl’s birthday, in which case, he could have said as much, and we would have celebrated that event also. I don’t think it had anything to do w/a birthday at all…it was a snub, however, again, has he had dinner w/any other heads of state? I have been busy w/weddings and other things, and have paid zero attn to this trip. His “trips” are so numerous, and his speeches so the “same”, one tends to “scroll” past, when ordinarily great attn would be paid. lol

Thank you for the warm welcome, Chas! I made my first visit to Chesapeake Bay area about a month ago. Stayed with some friends there……what a beautiful area.

I am off to survey the yard work that needs done. Enjoy yourselves!

There is a reason that Justice carries a sword, a scale and wears a blindfold, and I could care less which way you lean politically, if you don’t understand the reason for that you have no business being a judge.

But that’s just my opinion.

chas

Ah,,Amen, Chas.

Alito, Did say that but it was a group of people not a Latino Women V a white man…

Carolyn….YUM YUM YUM! lol ~~laughing~~ lol Hummm, and we are “guessing” when the birthday is? Another moment of NO transparency, I guess. No surprise, as the children are only “put on display” when a photo op is necessary. Surely this is no real secret however…who does know? Surely someone here does?

And how can you compare groups coming in the legal way to the millions who have stolen over the border in the dark of night!?

An Associated Press Television News journalist saw the three enter the Eiffel Tower. The First Lady waved to tourists who squealed and greeted her, the AP reported.

Obama and his family spent the night at the U.S. Embassy in Paris. They are scheduled to travel to Normandy today to attend the international ceremonies marking the 65th anniversary of the World War II D-Day landings.

Afterward, the Obama family is due to return to Paris to visit the Notre Dame Cathedral and dine at a Paris restaurant.

The President is returning to Washington tomorrow, but Michelle Obama and the children will extend their stay in the city until Monday, where they will celebrate Sasha’s birthday.

Yes it is 6cane. I live at the most southern part of MD. It is less than 7 miles in any direction to the bay from my house.

To bad it isn’t a retirement friendly State.

chas

Why didnt Obama invite Sarkozy to join them for his daughters birthday?
that is the French President and they are in France.

Why didn’t Obummer __________________________?(fill in the blank)

TrishTx,
Like everything, one could parse the words of, hum? No one is confused at all, the roll of the Supreme Court justice’s. We pray for good people, who do understand exactly, the responsibility they have to the NATION as a whole, and the CONSTITUTION particularly. We have survived so far, and hopefully will survive again, a new appointment to this important lifetime position.

Good morning my sal.. Hope all is well with you.. The article didn’t say why.. LOL maybe he did?

Hey, maybe it is like that old saying “when in Rome….” I found the French to be rather rude, as a population, so the President felt it was fine to be rude to their President.

chas

I read an article on it friday, Washington Post,that it was her birthday and july 4th [we know] is the other’s birthday. Paris was a little present for both!!

Regardless of what the President did or didn’t do instead of dining with Sarcozy, the point is he was a visitor in a foreign country and was invited to dinner by the president of that country. Good manners would dictate accepting the invitation.

hi lori….were the girls visiting Notre Dame as well?….you said family….so I hope so….I rememeber being there a few years back…truely an incredibly beautiful cathedral…..

Chas {in caps!} lol

I felt that too when I visited.. there was no love lost on American’s there…

Good Morning Ali,

One more snub by Oarrogance, what a surprise!!! How much higher can he stick his nose in the air when he talks down to people from his beloved telepromter? These two, Ohag and O-its-all-about-me are just not connected with the rest of us in this economy. The way they spend and run around is also a snub to the US and it’s HARD working people who pay the taxes for their out of control behavior. I’ll bet they wake up every morning to the theme song from the Jefferson’s. Were Moving On Up…… It’s just as if they can’t control themselves and their spending, both in government and for themselves, now that they got what they wanted by spending the money other people (liberals) gave them, and the election!
I’ve never seen a President who just does what he wants, with no regard to the results and wants everything pushed through as fast as possible so nobody has a chance to study the action or results. I guess I don’t understand “Transparency”. BS! His interpetation is “I don’t care, Do as I say, Get out of my way, I’m coming throught, with my telepromter.

Ms Ali, looked like you guys were really enjoying the Dave Dance segment. And think you get paid for having so much fun…oops, you do wake up the rooster in the morning.

Chas….I certainly understand where you are coming from. Not that I want to retire in Ohio, but Ohio is not friendly either…… in many ways. And I am quite sure, that it is going to get worse before it gets better.

Lanna offered this flavors, (she couldn’t get it to post so I will try)

A li’s Treasure
D ave-a-licious Delight
C layton’s Consolation

You three television stars looked like you had too much fun with the Big D dance segment. And think you get paid for having all that fun…

I didn’t find the French rude…so much as “distant” to people….not overtly friendly….unless of course you were spending a lot of money with them LOL then they could be very friendly! LOL

Good Morning Lori, Im doing fine..but it was a long week… how are you doing.

Good morning Liz K. The French are not known for “being friendly” actually. My daughter couldn’t wait to get out of that country, on her travels thru Europe. My dad has nothing nice to say abt the French, after his experiences. I do think however, that you are right, and the invitation should have been gracefully accepted, as he is the visitor, head of state, as is Sarcozy…another bit of embarrassment we just kind of absorb as the new admin moves forward. And, so it goes, hum? lol yep! in the world of the “rich and famous” all rules are deleted, I guess?? lol

MY DREAM FLAVOR!!!

How about MARGARITA????? I know you’d have to omit the REAL tequila, but OMG, what a dream….cold and refreshing, tart from the lime SOUNDS YUMMY to ME!!

Dang sorry you had a poopy week… Life in my Michigan world is wonderful. Fam is happy and healthy and the sun shined yesterday! What more could I need? LOL I am coming to Y town in the next couple of weeks to visit family, please make the weather nice and sunny for me could ya? lol

Healthcare…surprise Ted Kennedy “floated” a healthcare plan this week and did not say how we would pay for it. At the present rate Chas’s Granddaughter’s grandchildren will be paying for it. So why worry?

but of course….being a charming southern man…..who was raised on southern hospitality…..I did find them odd, to say the least LOL

HK – Listen to Cavuto’s interview with Soros on you tube – I believe in 2008 –

Soros was talking money and slipped in a statement about “saying the opposite of what you want to happen” – not an exact quote obviously but……

this is BO’s and companies “transparency” ……..

Its all a dangerous agenda designed to keep us guessing while they go about their business of global everything!!!!!

To add to MARGARITA, what about MARGARITA MOMMACITA????? Catchy type of Ben and Jerry’s name??? Hum??????

HK…I have never worried about who the prez is, as much as I have this time. I have always depended on the congress to hold the line, so to speak, so this is a huge mess, for sure. Now, I say again, why would the congress allow the prez so much authority? and why on earth are they so happy to hand all of it over to him? and what will they do when they wake up, and find all their authority in the hands of Czars, hum??? Asleep at the wheel? Oh yes, and “drunk” w/power, for sure..as the pockets get deeper and full of cash, fr the citizen, who watches in amazement, as it all unfolds. hum? lol oh yes, for sure. Cookies may not be enough for this citizen, to calm the atmosphere surrounding the WH these days. lol

HK

Re: “I’ve never seen a President who just does what he wants, with no regard to the results and wants everything pushed through as fast as possible so nobody has a chance to study the action or results.”

Can you say, “Patriot Act” .. “warrantless wiretapping” .. “Iraq”

Maybe you have seen such a president..

Lizzy

I will do my best Lori…lol
and I will ask God like when we were kids, and say, rain rain go away come back another day..lol

Frank….not once have I ever heard anyone in this administration or congress (left in small case on purpose) say where the money will be coming from for ANY of the “programs” they have proposed….except to print more. If that is the case, you are right and I feel sorry for my and Chas’ grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

BTW – Good morning

Good Morning All!
Just returned from a week of vacation… I just couldn’t wait to tell you all that Royal Caribbean’s ships showed FoxNews and F&F the whole week – from Florida to Nassau!! YAY!
It’s nice to be back though…. hope you all have been doing well.

Alisyn,
Do we get an extra hour, since we were cut short yesterday??? lol Would seem that would be a fair thing to happen. lol

Aside from the fact that Congress passed and approved of all those things you mentioned.

chas

Rita I’ll have one of those with a floater please! LOL After years of grueling “tests” i have finally perfected the perfect margie…. I’ll let you know the date and time of happy hour at Margarita ville..;-)

Lizzy, I was attempting to check out your blog but got this message:

You are about to log in to the site “triad.rr.com” with the username “kelschu”, but the website does not require authentication. This may be an attempt to trick you.

I’ve never encountered that before when trying to link to a blog from here.

How about ali-misu for a flavor 4U? Layers of flavors for the fox ‘n friends am prime-time players.
Yee-haw!
Jerry

Steph…glad you are home safe, and WOW! You don’t say. Ah! We did have a good time on that line when we cruised. lol They certainly do a good job with it all. lol

Ms Stephanie,

Nice to have you back. I hope your trip was memorable.

chas

Hello Stephanie…..welcome back…..

Obama and Mama snubbed the leader of France because of the delusion that “they can” indulge themselves with anything they want. He is, of course, an entertaining King of the world.

Liz K – I honestly have no idea – I do not have a web site – hmmmm – thanks for the info – dont know what to do with it though -

and anybody – can you tell me why the time on these blogs is an hour behind?

Sal..LOl Ok, Ill hold ya to that..

Remeber? Playmate come out and play with me and bring your dollies three climb up my apple tree…….

Liz, you are correct good manners would dictate, but then again….we are talking about a man that just went on a dinner date in Manhattan at the upper tune of 100,000 (on our dime) while most American’s are stuggle to buy a “FILET O FISH” sandwich at McDonalds. Its the way of Elitist’s……

Lizzy….

The time is correct for where I am at….lol

Someone taking care of the blog just didn’t change the time. It doesn’t happen automatically.

Stephanie, that is great news. Last time I went on RCCL I was forced to watch CNN…no Fox at all. Hope that is still the way in September.

marine – fox and friends is on NY and I am in that time zone – just wondering

Daylight savings time is what happened to the blog Ms Lizzy. The blog is still on Eastern Standard.

chas

Possibly WordPress is a Central Time Zone company….~shrugging shoulders~ … don;t really know, just speculating

That is interesting, Lizzy, since your name shows in blue here which indicates a website…..very odd, indeed. Oh well, I didn’t go ahead and click the choice that would have apparently let me into something.

That makes sense Chas

Lizzy,
It does depend on where one might be, hum? An hour behind for me, for others, the clock is “right on time”…must be chged by wordpress, and apparently is just not important, and I agree with that, if messing with, causes a prob at all. lol It’s right all the time, after all, somewhere?? Like the clock in the car??? ~~laughing~~ lol

Thanks, Chas. I gave up on posting the ice cream names. Why doesn’t Rick get a flavor designed for him too? “Rick Rocks” would be a good ice cream name.

Liz K – probably a good idea – ha – you never know anymore, what with a cyber czar now – ha -

Welcome Lanna.

I was thinking more in line of R icky Roads….lol

I agree, Lanna. Rick definitely deserves his own flavor too!

Sean Hannity’s site is WordPress & his time is set to EST ~ (the correct time, LOL)

6cane, I think you are off by a factor of 8 or 9. With the cost of three jet aircraft (Ofrequentflier, Press and Staff), Marine 1, etc. If President Otransparent rode in “The Beast” in the BIg Apple it would be just shy of $1 million as it flies in a C130 to the tune of just south of $7,000.

Alisyn,

You are so gorgeous. Motherhood agrees with you. Do you really have 9 children? I will pray for you and your marriage. It must be challenging to do such a great job as an anchor and also care ofr your family. Keep up the great work and tell your husband to do the same.

Now that’s original chas, LOL.

They were joking ipsi. Ms Alisyn has 3 kids, which includes a set of twins.

chas

Gini – hahahahahaha – yea, the clock in the car – my daughter borrowed my car the other day and decided to help me out and get the time exact – I was late to work the next day – hahahaah

its all relative

I don’t think I watched the news while cruising. In fact, I am sure I didn’t watch any t.v. at all. Had a few books w/me, as we cruised to Hawaii, so it was a long trip, and just had the very very very best time! Took my book everywhere…w/coffee in the early a.m. on deck, a nap in the afternoon, book in hand, along w/a loverly “drink” brght to me personally, by a loverly steward, then evening and dinner, a moment to dress up a bit, and eat some very well prepared food…after which one had many things to pick fr, for entertainment. When I retire, I want a permanent cabin on a cruise ship…someone actually did that, I believe. How fun!!! Not happening, of course, as there is NO MONEY now, if there was at all ever. lol

Gini: Don’t you just LOVE cruising?! We slept with our TV on so we would be sure to wake up early to make the most of the day. It was a great break from reality – you can sure get spoiled with the SeaPass cards… sometimes makes me think there’s an endless supply of cash!!

Oh Lizzy!!! OMG…that is HILARIOUS, and they do that don’t they??? IF they use the vehicle, why do they chg everything around, one wonders? NOT their car…but, they always do, and I am always provoked, trying to find “my channels” which, of course, are no where near what they listen to. lol And the seat!!! Whoa! readjustment required, as they have that all messed up, as I prefer to “sit straight up”, so I can actually “see the road” in front of me!!! lol Too funny… ~~laughing~~ right out loud.

The people were disrespecting all the graduates by showing up late. I agree with the comment…if you are 10 minutes late for your flight, most times you will be waving at the plane as it pulls away from the gate! Be on time people.

Carla snubbed Obama. Watch the look on his face when she rushed past him to greet Michelle as she got out of the car before the ceremony yesterday morning. And I never did see her speak to him later.

Whether it was 24,000 or 250,000 the dinner date being charged to taxpayers is completely OUTRAGEOUS. I guess a LIMO ride and dinner/play in Washington DC is too shabby for them now.

In MD if you drive your mower onto a public road, even just to turn around you can be charged with DUI if you are drinking.

It’s no longer about public safety here, it’s all about the money. It’s a source of revenue instead of law enforcement. Common sense right out the window.

chas

name your ice cream, how about ” foxy roxy newsberry “

Oh Steph, for sure. The hubby did have a couple of eye raising moments, hum??? YIKES! lol Oh well..and yes, I could easily just cruise forever. We had the most magnificent storm on that trip, also. Didn’t have sense enough to be afraid, I am sure…but, then I do get in the car every morning and head down the highway, so this paled in the light of that adventure. Fortunately, we didn’t suffer any sea sickness, but many were very very ill. lol Yes, an all together magnificent trip. We flew home…not so magnificent at all. Told hubby, if we do this again, we are cruisin’ home as well. No more long trips on huge planes, that have little accommodation for the passengers stacked inside. hum? Miserable, would be an excellent description, for the trip home. lol Whew! lol

seeing you kid graduate High School comes once in a lifetime, so those parents should’ve made a better effort to be ontime

golfgirl46
Maybe that was payback for him not greeting her with the traditional kiss when they met before.

my rule of thumb is to be 10 minutes early to everything….that is being on time!

I watch you all daily.

Brad and Angelina splitting? I can’t believe even an off-hand remark that it is because of too many kids!!
I was raised with 5 siblings. My Mom and Dad were married until “death do them part” My Mom passed 10 days before their 50th Anniversary. So many kids today blame themselves for failed marriages that even a joking remark like that should not be uttered.

seymour butts….do you under the bleachers? LOL

amen to that Chas…

Right on Liz K.

Hi Lori. Have you seen the grandbaby yet? Mine that is.

ice cream: Ali Berry……or…..Ali Blackberry

One must always follow the money Chas…of course. lol It is what drives it all, when said and done.

Gini – hahahhahah – yea – and my husband is faaaaaaaarrrrrrrr worst!!!! hahahahahah

although I am not laughing when I get in the car in the morning –

and I am really not laughing when my Yankee game channel is messed up!!!

but I’m laughing now – hahahahah

I’m thinking Ice Cream for the AtSS.

chas

Ooooo, ice cream!!! lol ~~smiling~~ huge now. lol No one will be late for that I am sure! ha! lol

That’s a good one Jimmy ~ Ali Berry

Senseless stupid “rules” and “laws”….

Like not allowing people to enter a high school graduation, good lord it is not the Camp David peace talks it’s a high school graduation. You can’t tell me allowing 4 parents to enter the audience would be THAT much of a disruption. Heavens knows those parents have had to tolerate many many many inconveniences over the years coming from stupid rules and mistakes the school/s have made. Ridiculous… Think out of the box and be part of a solution. This isn’t rocket science.

Ice cream……yum…..we had DQ for lunch here yesterday.

I have Chas she is beautiful.. I commented earlier.. Congrats

Camaroto Caramel

Thanks.

Lori, when I was in business I hated waiting on people who were late for meetings. This is the most significant event in your child’s life…Be on time and not late!

Lizzy…thankfully, I don’t have to share my car often, so this isn’t happening a lot, anymore. I NEVER touch anything when I drive his car…not even the seat…especially not his radio. But, I could, like you, write a book. Came home one day, and the son was busily chging everything around on my key chain {had run up to the corner for milk so didn’t have the key chain w/me}, and I hit the roof at about a zillion miles an hr!!! YIKES! lol Now, why? Why on earth would he think it was appropriate to chg the keys around on the key chain? I also threatened to put the remote to the t.v. in my purse and take it w/me, if they couldn’t remember to put it back where it belongs…I mean to say, the bathroom??? Is that where the REMOTE GOES??? What a circus it was, with those six kiddos hangin’ out, hum? lol

I hope you are able to love on her soon..;-) Another blog baby.. xoxoxo

Does anybody on this show ever think about TOO MUCH INFORMATION???? Now thanks to the”turbulance can crash airplanes”segment people like my wife who were on the affraid to fly bubble, are officially scared to death to fly, nice job morons, I love your show and you normally do an outstanding job, but having the “expert” on the show telling everybody that the headfake that the crew tells everybody that they don’t have to worry about the turbulance…and people don’t panic when the turbulance happens….now will just PANIC. Good job

Lori, I agree they should think outside of the box…however this is the most important event in your child’s life so far. The parents should think outside the box about getting there on time. There are consequences for their actions…be on time.

Jimmy, thats a good one…Ali Berry.

thanks Sal!

Camaroto Creamsicle

Put all three of your flavors together and make it the Fox Trot Delight (With No Nuts Please)…..Nuts would be used in the CNN blend.

Camaroto Dreamsicle ! ?

Frank I am a person that is sitting in the parking lot an hour before anyyyyyyyy thing I am suppose to be at a certain time… My fam makes fun of me.. It is one way my anxiety shows it’s face.. HOWEVER… having said that my daughters FIRST day of a new school I WAS LATE! LOL The school gave me the wrong time when i called to inquire.. LOl I was mortified, as was she…. My point is life happens, even when you TRY to control every detail… Life has a funny way of happening…

hehehe-JImmy

Gini – hahahahahaha – this is toooo funny – we are living the same battle – between my college son being home and my husband – the remote is a hot button issue – soooooooo – when we ungraded TV service I kept the old remote and programed it for MEEEEE – wrote my name on the remote and everything – my cousin gave me her old remote when she changed service and soooo I did the same thing in the bedroom!!!!!! And they are all on warning that if MY remote is not where it should be a volcanic eruption will soon begin!!!!

They have not touched it in weeks!!!!!

I love my family!!!! hahahahahahahah (really I do)

Ali-Sun-Dae

Thanks everyone for the company and thoughts. I hope you have a wonderful week and you return next week. So until then…….

Have a great week Ms Alisyn.

chas

so – this blog is only on Sunday Morning???

Ali, you looked beautiful in Marilyn Monroe’s fur! I know that was fun to wear. By the way, wanted to tell you I love your necklace this morning. It shimmers in the lights & it’s beautiful. (I love jewelry)

As far as Obama skipping dinner with the French President. It is just more proof to me he is a narcisissist. It is sad how he continues to insult & snub the leaders of other countries that are allies to the U.S. & for him not to have dinner with the President & his wife is an embarrassment. I don’t care what other meetings or meals they were scheduled to share. I had read the wives would lunch together & the President’s would also have lunch but to blantantly turn down an invitation for them to all socialize together is just rude!

MMMMMM, ice cream! The combinations sounded good except for the coconut. I just discovered one at Baskin Robbins. It’s called “Baseball Nut” It’s vanilla with rasberries swirled with cashews. It is very yummy!

Thanks for making the comment about the infighting & the only rule you ask that people try to avoid being insulting. Something of that nature occurred when I commented about something a few weeks ago & I found myself avoiding coming back. Today I did because I wanted to send a compliment & decided to give this blog another try when I read more about what you were talking about.

Ah…two down, so lets see if this posts! ha ha! and who is eyecare dot com, anyway?? lol Oh well..and so it goes.
Being afraid to fly is always a prob…and I think anyone has some anxiety when their feet leave terra firma…however, it is still the safest way to travel, so one could balance that, w/the daily traffic report perhaps? lol Not nearly the attn paid to vehicles and the drivers, as is paid to the pilots and air craft, on their very worst day, hum? lol

Lori, I know what you are talking about. One of the first rules of golf is be on time. I was almost late for the start of a major rules seminar on the first day. I made it with a minute to spare.

later Chas…..I going now, too…..later all…..

Lizzy…Sat a.m. and Sun a.m. lol

Lizzy, it is open on Saturday and Sunday when Ali’s Weekend show is on. Glad you enjoyed it. Good People, good conversation, and fun.

Lizzy, Alisyn puts up new threads whenever she is on, but sometimes people just continue on here during the week also.

LizzyllllAli blog is usually on Sat. and Sun…..and anytime she fills in during the weekdays…..

CFitz…we are all relieved to have calm return to the best show on t.v. ~~sigh~~ Glad you are back and good morning. lol

DA-ALYSIN-TON Decadence

Lizzy, its saturday and sunday, but we come here all week long.

I will add, the blog is usually better on the weekends when Alisyn is on. Sometimes she puts one up when she is sitting in for Gretchen during the week too.

CFriz, I know what you mean, I actually rememeber your comment… I am happy you returned..

namaste’ all

Oh yes…it is common practice to say hi ya, all week long Lizzy, when time permits, of course. lol Aly is great, and the people who come here, are smart, informed and nice, so it’s a “safe” environment, and we all have visited sites that are not so safe and nice. lol The fans of Aly’s are consistent in this one rule. lol

Have a great day Jimmy.

Its been fun everyone……Enjoy your Sunday !!!

Good morning group.I was on wikipedia and noted this blog so thought I would check you all out.

These are difficult times, and sometimes contentious, but that said, those who don’t wish to be nice, usually find this place boring and do leave eventually. lol

Gini & lori…

Thank you very much. It’s very thoughtful of you all to welcome me back! The good folks on here definitely outweigh the angry ones.

That is so true, CFitz_TX. This is a nice place to be on these weekend mornings.

Well, I made the spaghetti sauce and now I am stalling going out to work in yard because it is not very nice out! Hubby is working on deck by himself with a look of great determination on his face to “get her done!”. BBL

6cane…see you next week, same place, same station, hum? lol

Chas….CONGRATULATIONS!

Granddaughter Haley Rose is beautiful!!

Hi Carolyn,
I sure hope that determined look means it is soon done. lol Mine is almost done. Just a few anchors here and there. The rail is up, the flower bed is now ready to be finished up, and dancing on the patio!!! YES! lol ha! lol IF I had been in charge, this would have been done weeks ago, when it started. lol

CFitz…isn’t she just gorgeous?? Another blog babe, and we are celebrating for sure!!! lol

OH! I must get the beef out for the sghett sauce. I forgot Carolyn, that I was fixing that for dinner tonite. YIKES! lol sounds so yummy, w/a huge salad…

Carolyn, I love spagheitti sause,
thats what I have to do soon….work in the yard…Im stalling myself..lol

No yard work on the schedule here today…a pure day of leisure except for putting the drunken chicken on the grill later.

Bye Sal and anyone who is still here. Really enjoyed the blog today!

WOW – what a nice place it appears I have finally found!!! Thank you all!

I want you all to know that If you find me at all alarming it is not meant to be radical or far reaching in any way – I am really concerned with the course our country is taking and as a result have done more research in the last three months than ever before in my life!!! I feel it is prudent – I am an American first! I abhor injustice.

but feedback is so important in keeping one balanced – so I appreciate that and always try to keep an open mind as well –

and it is soooo nice to merely chat with folks -
hope you will continue to do so with this regular ol’ mom from NC.

Bye Sal, and so did I Liz K…so so fun! lol And I should be doing some yard work. I wonder if anyone will show up to help? lol ~~sigh~~ prob not! But, I could bribe them with a good meal, hum? lol

Lucky you Liz K,
Im going to cook me a steak later myself and have a glass of wine, after Im done in the yard.

Lizzy…you are very welcome here, and we all need a place, hum? Difficult times, for sure, and we are all “ordinary” in every way, and many are mom’s, as well. lol I just don’t have to take the remote w/me anymore, or worry abt where my keys got to, as they are all grown now. lol ha!!! lol

Oh Sal…that sounds wonderful! I am fixin’ sghett…have decided, and not chging my mind. Steak sounds yum, tho. lol Only beer here today. No wine..boo hoo!!!

Lizzy,

Glad you found this blog, it is a fun place, so please come back

Gini – hahaha – yea – well my are grown too – but home from college now – so I kept the old remote when we upgraded to HD and programed it and wrote my name on it and told them all if I ever found it “lost” the volcanic eruption would begin – they all want to avoid that!!!!
and my remote hasn’t been lost for weeks!!!

Gini, Liz K, Carolyn,
and everyone,
Have a great day.

So we now have two identical remotes for each room – absolutely ridiculous – but peace has returned again to the homeplace! whew

Later Sal, have a great week

Lizzy There are the grandchildren, of course, but so far, they don’t touch grandma’s stuff, as a rule anyway. lol The IPOD did disappear for a while, and magically showed up again??? hummm…must have been “mr nobody” at my house for a sec? lol ha ha! lol Still don’t know how that gadget works, so prob should give it to someone who would actually enjoy it…hum? lol I am deaf in one ear, so the IPOD is not the very best tool for me, anyway. lol

Morning Cat, have a great day.

I actually agree with that as a resolution Lizzy. Problem solving being one of the skills necessary as a homemaker, and keeper of the peace. And we do excel at that most of the time, anyway. We also have several remotes, so one is always “in it’s spot”, and that does make for a calmer environment for sure. Especially since the t.v. doesn’t work w/o it!!! lol

Gini – I am doing good keeping up with the computer, if you can call it that – always a challenge as I teach first grade and the new teachers come in and whiz bang on the thing like nothing, leaving all of us “old schoolers” breathless – hahahahah

no grandchildren yet – but the little ones at school fill the void – for now!

I am also stalling Sal!!! lol b/4 I must get tuit, hum? lol

Wow Lizzy!!! Well, I agree, and the twins at 6 are more adept than grandma at 60 plus, hum? Since I have been associated with all these lovely people on this site, I have become more adept at it all, but still fall very short of what one might call “skilled”. I can ask now, so it makes it all easier, than when I began over a yr ago, here at this most wonderful place to be. lol Of course, teachers are on my hero list, and not celebrated enough by everyone. lol

Ah Gini, you’re still here ~ just reminding you of happy happy horse pill, busy lady. And “hi” Lizzy, welcome to Ali’s ~

I know what you mean Gini – kids learn very quickly – even my sweet autistic boy in my room can do it all!!!! Tells me how to – so funny –

Nice to hear kind words for teachers – I think there are a lot of professions that we need to celebrate more – and of course there are some “professions” that need less celebration – ha

HI Betty – Thanks!! So glad to be here!

Me too Gini,
I was just outside looking around and see what I have to do…yes Im geting ready.

Had to help dad…but, he is comfy now, so am still in stall mode! ha! lol

OMG…forgot the pill again!!! Geeezzzz…I need to put a huge reminder up, I guess?? lol Thanks, again, Betty. ha! lol

I am off to do something productive, maybe?? Or at least get dressed, hum? lol ha! lol AND take that silly pill, YIKES! lol

Lizzy…I think, however, that all we get to hear abt are the miss deeds of a few bad teachers, and not nearly enough of those that contribute to it all, for not nearly enough, hum? Of that I am positive, and feel strongly, that every bad story should be accompanied by a true success story. Teachers are the most important part of it all, after the family. I don’t think anyone could possibly disagree w/that, since our children are at school for many hrs every day…and great trust is put in the teachers that have so much influence on their fragile lives, so I do stand by my “hero” observation, hum? For sure…

What was the web site where you can look up better seats on an airplane?? From Saturdays show (June 6th) there was a web site you mentioned on “Watching Hurricanes”. Please email them to me.
Love your show and the guys. Thanks…

Hello everyone, sorry I’m late.
I was just reading back over the post.
don’t look I missed too much.
humm some new people I see.
Looks like everyone is having a nice day.
GREAT !

Hi Mac, and yes, we had a wonderful time today! lol The sun is out, and the flower beds wait for some attn, hum? Dad is up and eating lunch now, and hubby is home, so I think I maybe can get a bit of help, perhaps, with the heavy lifting…or not. Oh well…and so it goes. Am still in delay mode, but am moving towards that end, anyway…

Search ships methodically worked through a “sea of debris” from a doomed Air France jet Sunday, recovering four more bodies near the spot where the Airbus A330 is believed to have gone down a week ago.

Six bodies have been retrieved since Saturday and ships were headed to pick up more Sunday afternoon after pilots participating in a grid search reported additional sightings. The bodies have been found in an area about 45 miles (70 kilometers) from where the jet sent out messages signaling electrical failures and loss of cabin pressure.

I updated my blog.

chas

Gini – baseball over now and just checking back – getting a feel for the blog –

On the subject of teachers – I dream of days gone by where teachers and parents are a functional team with the goal of only one thing in mind – the positive development of a child – or – in the case of high school and college – respect for the truth in what they teach –

both, I am afraid, are rare these days –

as for baseball – the yankees win – the yankees win – a rarity these days – ha

Easy to update the blog again, just showed a horse’s arse, or maybe 2…lol

chas

Traversing the globe the last five days or so, I felt pretty good when those recognizing I was American, stated positive things about America and President Obama. Embarrased, I even had a middle-aged man state, “Obama, good—no water boarding.” After the last eight years, attempting to not look American was in order.

I get back into town and peruse this blog and see too much negativism. Betty, who in an earlier post made an off-color remark of the “watermelon garden” at the Whitehouse has the audacity to call the first lady “Ohagama.” Some state here that this post doesn’t do name-calling. I’m not seeing that here.

So this Independent “Visitor” will visit elsewhere. Most I know will say good, but take warning. Your political base is shrinking. With the verbiage I see here and that coming out of the Republican figureheads, this Party and this “News” Network needs a miracle.

Oh, I am sorry to see you leave visitor. I enjoyed reading about your travels and hearing of your experiences. However I understand your reasons for leaving. You will be missed.

Lizzy,
I do to, and was fortunate to have good teachers, but that was long ago, when things were abt teaching, and not so much abt other things. A simpler time, hum? Glad you had a good day…and is school out for you? The twins last day is tomorrow, I think? They leave then, for vaca, to Fla..boo hoo! Wish I was going to, but not this time. Glad you are here…we do have a nice time, at Aly’s. See you next week for sure, but Sal and others do pop in to say hi, during the week…as do I, when time permits. Pretty busy around here, actually. Have a safe week…

Chas!!! You are a hoot! lol

Vis,

Sorry to see you “leave”. Too bad you didn’t see where the actual carnage began, but then again since it was leftward, you might not have different opinion.

There is a saying that if you repeat a lie often enough it will soon be accepted as fact. The MSM keeps repeating that the GOP base is shrinking, but the fact is the base is the same, it’s the blue city area that is growing.

When you have people living up each others tail, you need more Government, which is why a Republic was established instead of Democracy. Mob rule will only hurt this Country as is shown with the current Administration and past Democratic Administrations .

There was never a thought of the Founders to steal from some to give to others, for the understanding has always been that, that is the end of even a Representative/Republic type Democracy.

Be safe, be well. My blog is always open to you.

Ewww Chas it seems Fox is spreading the lie too……

Huh?

Hey anyone here

Enter your zip ? how did that happen ?
Oh well.

Eight illegal immigrants “stacked like wood” in the back of a sports-utility vehicle were killed when the driver lost control on a remote southeastern Arizona highway, authorities said Sunday.

At least 27 men and women were in the vehicle traveling about four miles east of Sonoita when the vehicle rolled for an unknown reason shortly before midnight Saturday, said Officer Joy Craig of the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

Most of the vehicle’s passengers were ejected.

The department originally reported that 10 people were killed but later lowered the number after learning two people were in the hospital with life-threatening injuries, not dead.

Lanny Davis???????????????

Bwhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahh. OMG, you are joking right?

chas

Laura Ling Euna Lee
sentenced to 12 years in N.K. labor camp.

That’s Ok Vis. I have met people from England who were visiting here when Bush was president and they told me America is loved and to not believe all the crap the media says about us or Bush. Sorry you are leaving but you gotta do what you gotta do. I hope when racist remarks against whites are made that you are just as upset. Be safe.

Is it Carol ?

Carolyn ?

Good morning MD aka Mac…hope you have a great day. Do you think anything can be done for this young journalist, to free her fr the grasp of NK? I sure hope so…and I wish these young ladies would stay out of harms way. Good morning Carolyn. I have too, as a matter of fact, and dad had many associations with people across the pond, and we are respected by most as a great and noble country. The kiddo’s have friends abroad also, whose view is the same, so, I guess like anything else, depends on who ya meet, hum? ha! For sure…

Mac…ha! It’s Carolyn, yes. lol She answers to Carol also.

Ok – Carolynro,
I just wanted to let you know that Visitors post was from yesterday evening.

If Reagan were President – Yes – something could be done .
But under the current leader – I really have my doubts.

BTW – Good Morning, to you too !

Mac…she prob saw that, but posted a comment anyway. I saw it last nite, when I looked and saw you had been in. We keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best. 2010 is coming up fast, and hopefully there will be a chg, hum? We are abt to find out if the citizen is happy with it all, or not.

Gotta dash, work today! Have a great day Mac. This is an all day moment, with my little part time job…will chk back after five, when I get home. lol

I believe the Air France disaster was a terrorist plot. Possibly to protest France’s renewed friendship with the West or their treatment of their muslim population enclaves. This sounds like a singular version of the KSM plan, the 14 airliners being destroyed over the oceans at the same time. “Lockerbie” was supposed to blow up over the Atlantic and never be solved. Only afterwards could we prove Kaddafi’s involvement and get restitution for the families. Get “Alvin” or “Trieste” over there and get those black boxes. And since most air travel is over water nowadays, redesign the boxes to float. Thank you.

I cant believe that this Administration and the democrats and the left and the MSM,
are so upset about how these three TERRORIST were treated,
these three TERRORIST that would cut your head off in a heart beat, these three TERRORIST that were behind the 9/11 attacks, THREE THOUSAND PEOPLE DIED that day,
the enhanced interrogation techniques that were used against these three TERRORIST,
saved American lives, and other ATTACKS against Americans, why are they so concerned about these three TERRORIST and how they were treated,
I dont understand their way of thinking.
The President of the United States number one concern is… to keep America safe,
President Obama your job is to keep our country safe,
that should be the Presidents first concern, protect the American people, not the Terrorist.

Mac…I suspect you are right, but we will pray hard for her safe return. Wasn’t there another young lady as well, who was arrested? I have not been as attentive as I usually would be, with all the “stuff” going on in my household. Anyway…have a great day. I am really dashing now, or will be late!!! ha! lol They will, however, let me in regardless ~~laughing~~ As I don’t push a time clock, it’s not a big deal. lol Late is relative, at this little job.

Good morning Sal…I am dashing NOW!!! >>>>>

G’ morning Mac & George Klitsch ~

I was also thinking along the same line, why not design the black box to float? I can’t understand that in this day & age there isn’t an ejector on them when a crash is eminent, to detach from the tail section of the aircraft to which they’re normally affixed.

They said they would prob be able to find it, unless it is “under something” Betty. I sure hope they do find it. Good morning George K. lol

Hi MD. Good morning to you, too. I know he may never see my response but I am sick of this constant drum beat that everyone hates Bush and loves Obama- especially when the words are telegraphed in stuccato “Obama- good, waterboarding-bad” style that indicates to me a concerted effort to reduce the essence of America or even a presidency down to a sound byte that suffices as an understanding of the utterance as a complete knowledge of our country and it’s response to 9/11. It is a cheap and disingenuous diservice to America to take heed of “Obama- good, waterboarding-bad” and to base your entire view point on that statement. But, apparently superficial understanding of our country is ok with many people. And what about the Reverand Wright statements- way more offensive than anything said on this blog!
Carolyn

Good Morning Gini.

Hi Sal: Ditto to everything you said and read my previous post. I am leaving out of here as I have too much to do and don’t want to get caught up in a hot discussion today! LOL. Have a wonderful day and don’t lose heart. Things will change- not as quick as we want – but when Americans start getting the bill- even the poorest of us who will also have to pay- for all of this we will wake up and find that we are not better off as a result of the hype of “Hope and Change”.

Hi Sal: Ditto to everything you said and read my previous post. I am leaving out of here as I have too much to do and don’t want to get caught up in a hot discussion today! LOL. Have a wonderful day and don’t lose heart. Things will change- not as quick as we want – but when Americans start getting the bill- including the poorest of us who think they are exempt- for all of this we will wake up and find that we are not better off as a result of the hype of “Hope and Change”.

Ditto Sal: Everything you said is right! Have a good day and just remember: the bill will come due and THAT will wake Americans up just like when we get a cable bill and it has suddenly gone up $10.00 a month!

Good Morning Carolyn, well said.

President Bush kept our country safe,
he did what he had to do to protect the American people,
and it WORKED,
President Obama your job is to keep our country safe and to protect the American people,
just keep doing what President Bush did with our National Security, and the War on Terror,
you need to spend some of that money on National Security,
please do the job you were hired to do.

——————————————————————————————————–
It always comes down to Fox News and Fox viewers, this Network needs a Miracle?,
are you kidding me,
Fox News is the number one network,its the other Networks that need a miracle,
and the base is not shrinking, but thats what the MSM wants you to believe,
we will be just fine,
all we need to do is go back to the Conservative view point.

Of course it was a snub. The question is whether Obama and his staff outright arrogant or does their backgrounds leave them void of etiquette and decorum that they don’t understand what international relations is supposed to look like. My gut is that Obama is arrogant and racist. His consistent snub of the Queen of England in contrast to his pandering to terrorist nations and their leaders has to do more than make you wonder.

Hi βɛʈʈɥ ,

Wavin’ to You I’m still trying to finger out Greta’s New Blog W&W’s to You.

Hi everyone and welcome Lizzy,

Gini,in answer to your question, my wife and I intend to keep the road hot. We’ve just arrived back from Williamsburg, Virginia. We also like the Smoky Mountains a lot; and we hope to visit “the Cove” in North Carolina for a while.
Anyway, I am glad that it looks as if a lot of the hostility present before has subsided. Thanks everyone! There is an issue that I’d like to get all your input on. It is the “Hate Crimes” legislation that is being considered now in Congress. I believe, if the information I have is correct, the Congress tried to pass this legislation before but failed. Now, as I understand, they are trying it again as of April of this year. I have read some info about this issue from the “Traditional Values Coalition”. I must tell you that this does not look like a good piece of legislation to me. Harming someone who is gay is ALREADY a crime, and the behavior should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. However, I believe to attach SPECIAL and additional penalties to such crimes is a slippery slope. It concerns me because I don’t know how broadly they will paint with their definition of a hate crime. For example, I get the impression that another investigation is underway concerning the murder of the abortion doctor. I’m afraid passage of this bill will open up a Pandora’s box, restricting free speech, opinion, etc. What do you all think? Come back, Liz, wherever you are.

Hello Everyone,

It’s good to see that some of the hostility present in this blog initially has subsided. Thanks everyone! Now to my opinion (which everyone else is entitled to–ha, ha). I don’t know if Obama snubbed Sarkozy of not. Who knows? I have a feeling that some of these leaders know that much of what they do is for appearances and that they all get tired of it. It could be possible that Obama’s doing something else was a mutual agreement between him and Sarkozy. Honestly, I’m really not sure if I care, anyway. The French haven’t always been the most supportive of us in our fight against terrorism. Oppose the Iraq war if you want, but the reason we’re in Afghanistan is because of September 11th. How many French troops are in Iraq? How much has ANY country in Europe supported us, with the exception of Britain?
As the issue of torture, I believe waterboarding is, in fact, torture; but I don’t care! I believe we should not torture any CITIZEN of the United States; and I believe torture should be OFF LIMITS to just about anyone else in the world–JUST ABOUT. It should NOT be off limits to creeps like Khalid Sheik Mohammed, even if it means AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION to allow it. There IS an amendment process! Think about all the people, including CHILDREN, who died on September 11th; and think about Daniel Pearl and what they did to him. You’ll understand why I don’t feel sorry for him and nuts like him.

Sorry everyone,

I meant to ask how many French troops are in Afghanistan? A lot of people aren’t sure if WE should be in Iraq, let alone the French.

Salvatore – I can’t help but think that Visitor is the same person as Liz of last week.

Hello again,

I’m not finished yet. I just saw another comment from Salvatore about FOX News. I agree with you, Salvatore. I am a BIG fan of FOX, for reasons I explained earlier. I was so sickened by the behavior of other networks during the election that it completely turned me off. They are TOTALLY biased for the left and TOTALLY prejudicial against traditional, conservative views. They attacked Sarah Palin, her family, and her faith like a pack of hungry wolves.
However, although I am a big FOX supporter, I have caught them a couple of things that should be beneath them. I just watched a segment of Hannity in which he was discussing President Obama and his supposed remarks that America “is not a Christian nation”. I heard Obama’s remarks, and they were not as anti-Christian as Hannity portrayed them. Obama merely was saying that America is a country with many different religious views. We are not JUST a Christian nation. I don’t like it that way. I wish we were; but the fact is that we are not. That is all Obama was saying. Hannity aired ONLY the sentence in which Obama said, “We are not a Christian nation…” and then CUT HIM OFF before the rest of his sentence could be heard. This was a tactic that should be expected to happen on NBC or CNN; but I hoped I’d never see it on FOX.

but that is neither here nor there- all I can remember from last week- is the fact that every time anyone would start a conversation on here, that person would jump in and intentionaly disrupt by a personal attack. It made it very difficult for anyone here to stay on any subject.
The only difference I saw in Visitor was they only made one single comment aimed at Betty.
Other than that they both made the same angry and dramatic exit.

I do have to agree with you Roy- It seems that Hannity has been a little over the top lately.
He really needs to calm it down a little. His feelings are ruling his words , more and more .
I hate to see this, because I really like him a lot.

Roy,
I agree with you on that Hannity thing.
I hate to see that too. Because I really like Hannity a lot.

Thanks very much, Mac, for that observation. I was worried that no one else saw what was going on. Reading over things the last couple days, it seems that there are those who were going to jump on the bandwagon and make a big point that they always thought that their opinions were not welcome here, either. I don’t think that that’s true. Most everyone welcomes everyone else and agrees to simply disagree when it becomes necessary. But who am I to argue the point? It would seem that some are allowed not only to have an opinion, but to defend it when they’re attacked, too, and some are not so fortunate.

I read something yesterday about the greenroom losing contributors because of the atmosphere here. Well, I’m sure that to much relief to many, my contributions will be few if any in the future. I thought that I was as entitled as any to have one, even if it disagrees with another, but I was apparently wrong about that. I will not apologize for my opinions and beliefs, but if anyone was offended by my vigorous defense of them when they were attacked, please allow me to sincerely apologize to have made you uncomfortable or unwelcome here. And please also allow me to apologize for any fires that I may have fueled while defending myself. This is a very nice place to blog. Enjoy.

Last week I was castigated for referring to Obummer as being disengenuous.

When he claims a territory, such as jobs saved, which cannot be defined or measured, and claims it as fact, then I think I can safely say that he is IN FACT being disengenuous. Those that believe him, when he makes these outlandish claims, are ignorant, misinformed or stupid.

Ignorance can be educated. Misinformation can be corrected. Stupidity is permanent.

Hi! I’m home…interesting conversations, all. This blog is not going to suit everyone, for sure. It has consistently been, however, a haven for the very very smart and informed, and always nice, viewer and fan of Fox, and especially Alisyn. I hope that no one leaves, Sterling~especially you~~as the flavor of the conversation would be affected if those who are smart, informed, and nice, leave the blog, and you are a huge contributor to that flavor, which people look forward to enjoying on the weekends, when they settle in w/their cupa to watch the best show on Fox~~or so we think anyway? ~~smile~~ Those who are not nice, come, stay a while, and leave usually~again, one must be “smart, informed and nice”, if they wish to really have a very very good time. This last incident is not the first, actually. We have had others who disrupted, and they are gone gone gone, to a site that enjoys that kind of thang~not here, ever, for any reason. I felt a bit beat up by it all~better now, for sure. New day, good conversation, all is well~now, if 2010 would just get here, NOW please? ~~giggle~~

Hi Olin…and no you weren’t, by anyone that knows you at all, hum? lol We hope to be done w/this, and back to the fun part of why we come, hum? lol Sure…and we do have fun! Good for the soul and spirit, and smiles~~well, we know they are very very good for the whole person, hum? {especially them thar wrinkles!}

We can only hope that the conservative trend in European Parlimentary elections and the Pro-Western victory in the election in Lebanon will carry through for us as well. I think that by then we will see clearly that simply throwing money around will solve anything.

Obummer wants to spend it faster, so expect more waste and corruption. How many millions have been removed from freezers to safer climes since the William Jefferson debacle. At least this was not our tax money, unless it was misdirected foreign aid money finding its way back into the pockets of politicians.

Geaux Tigers!!!!!

Hi everyone,,,,,,,,
I am getting ready to go get groceries with my favroite Gal. My wife.
But I wanted leave you with one last comment on this anoying subject.
I have only been posting here since last Wednesday. And I can tell you, I have not had any problem finding good people here. I didn’t know – whos who here, when I joined in. But I also had no trouble spotting the Disruptors either. I saw the difference though. I saw all of you, each and everyone of you, try your absolute best to ignor all the personal attacks that were constantly aimed at you over and over again, with “malice” , show inteligent restraint.
You only spoke up when the mean spirited person or persons, was causing some others to want to leave.
This is a Great Place ! and I want to be with the kind of people that will step up on others behalf.
Thank you for asking me to stay here too.

Be back in few hours,
BIG SHOP !

Hello Everyone:
I appreciate all the wise thoughts posted here today. I originally came here to find some of relief here from the constant drum beat against all that I believe in. After 2 or 3 decades of being accused of everything from being a bigot for no other reason than that I am a conservative or being accused of being greedy for no other reason than that I am a conservative or for being narrow-minded for no other reason than that I am a conservative I have had it! I was so glad to not be alone and that there were many accomplished and principaled individuals writing here despite the bad moments.

Hi Gini. And Sterling, Please stay. We will cover your back. We simply must ignore the ignorant, misinformed and stupid. Educating them is way above my pay grade. We don’t have to convert them all, only enough to win.

The thing that concerns me is that there are many factions covered here. True, I believe the Repubs are trying to move away from a conservative base, and this has me greatly disturbed. There are other groups or parties, but they trouble me as well. For example, the Libertarians ran an ACLU lawyer for President. What is up with that?

Lets work together to try find the correct path to take. Some of us are fiscal conservatives, some are social conservatives, and some are both. But moderate we are not.

Congress must be our first target, to control spending and keep from putting the wrong people in the SCOTUS and the appellate courts. The last thing we need are more “laws” created by judicial decree.

Olinl: You in Michigan, too?

Olin,

I LOVE your idea about all of us working together! I assure you that if we don’t want our way of life eroded any more, we’re gonna have to get to work–NOW! If we look around, we can see that the liberals don’t have any problem shoving their agendas at US. I intend to start a move in my church in which everyone in the congregation will wear black on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. I got the idea because it appears to me that EVERYONE in liberal circles is appalled about the murder of Dr. Tiller, but NO ONE seems to grieve for the 49 million babies that have been aborted since Roe v. Wade. Many of the babies Dr. Tiller aborted were late term (7 months or more)! Where is the outrage about these lives that were not allowed to even begin? I would love to see something like this ignite peoples’ passions so that their voices will be heard from church to church, then state to state!

Olinl: You have nailed the crux of the problem with the party politics. I am disturbed that our leaders allow themselves to be put in boxes and allow themselves to be convinced that we must appeal to this group or that group. Who cares what the dems think and why do so many cow-tow to what THEY think we should be or what we should believe??? Thus the freedom of some to yell and scream at people like me to get my mind right and join the party of HOPE AND CHANGE which is yet another lie?! Why don’t we refuse to be distracted and to just hone the message of personal responsibility. Everything just takes care of itself if a majority of Americans get back to believing in themselves and not in some free lunch country. Ok,,, calm down… sorry! That is why my last nerve is so raw. It is always “Be a moderate or a liberal. It is so much easier”. “It is the cooler club to be in”. Instead of fighting for smaller government and demanding that people stop expecting a hand out because they have given in.

Yeah, look how the Tea Parties were discounted. We need to work together and combat this notion that it is “just a few digruntled Obama haters” that are mad about the trillions of dollars being wasted. I went to a tea party -all by myself. I was inspired to carry a sign. Obama created this kind of group mentality and so can we. We did it on April 15 but those knuckleheads in DC at the RNC have no clue about what to do!

No Carolyn. I did live in Ohio for a few years though. I was born and bred in Terxas, but I have not lived there in 50 years. The BW was born in Denver and raised in Texas. I went to North Avenue Trade School in Atlanta. Since then we have lived in both North and South America and the Middle East.

The Last 30 years we have resided in Louisiana, Flyover to some, overlooked by many, but still hot, humid and politically exciting.

#@*%$#@^%! Word Pest is at it again. One more time.

No, Carolynro, Somehow, unfortunately, I missed Michigan. The BW did have an Aunt and Uncle living in Alma, but thet retired and moved to Bonita Springs, FL.

I am originally from Houston, Texas, and the BW is from Denver. We have lived many places, Georgia, Louisiana, Venezuela, Beruit, Louisiana again, Ohio and Louisiana again.

This is Flyover to some, overlooked or ignored by many, but still hot, humid and politically exciting.

Give me black coffee in the morning with a beauitful sunrise, and a cold beer in the evening with an equally beautiful sunset. Simple life, full of hard work, but good food and wonderful, loving people.

Time to contemplate and observe what is happening, and realizing that I was a part of allowing it to happen. I still think that D. C. is 61 square miles surrounded by reality, in spite of the fact that Chas lives close by.

I had company…my girlfriend, but am back now, until dinner anyway. We’re all going to be fine. Evil never wins, actually, as history does tell us. In the mean time, I’m not going anywhere! I LOVE Alisyn, and wait for the weekends to converse with everyone that comes into the room…anxious for those that don’t show up, actually, wondering if all is well, hum? The neighborhood “coffee shop” does miss those who aren’t there, after all. Bad moment lately, but it’s over I hope. We are nice here…I have said that, and I repeat that, which is why we come to this particular blog, as apposed to others that are out there. Prob will have other “bad moments”, I am sure, but this group is particularly “smart, informed, and nice”, so I don’t worry too much…hum? And of course, I continue to pass out cookies and smiles, for those having a bit of a hard time, and not being as “smart” as some of my fellow friends, but loving it here anyway…. we do have a very very good time, I think.

And, of course, having been here a while, I have been told b/4 to “straighten up, and fly right”, hum? ~~laughing~~ oh my yes, so will comply, of course, being the “well raised young lady that I am”, hum? ~~really, I am~~

Mac…

No Carolyn, unfortunately I missed Michigan.

I am originally from Texas and the BW is from Colorado. We were both raised in Texas, although we only lived there a few months after we married.

We now reside in Louisiana, Flyover to some, overlooked or ignored by many, but still hot, humid and politically exciting.

I don’t know now how many posts I have made since 2:30 today, but if they all show up at once you will think there is a giant echo.

Well, finally.

No Carolynro. Unfortunately I missed Michigan, except one visit to relatives. I did live in ohio for a few years. I am sure you know Ohio. That is where U of M goes to get football players. In fun!! In fun!!!

I now reside in Louisiana in “The Neutral Zone”. Flyover country to some, overlooked and ignored by many, but still hot, humid and politically exciting. Louisiana has always been known for corrupt politics. The only difference from other states is that ew did not try to hide it.

No Carolynro, Unforutnately,we missed Michigan, except to visit relatives. We did live in Ohio for a few years. You know, the place where U of M goes to find football players. Sorry, had to say it!!!

We now live in Louisiana, in the part once called “The Neutral Zone”. Flyover to some, overlooked or ignored by others, but still hot, humid and politically exciting.

Political corruption here is no different than in other states, we just never tried to hide it.

Question of the day…. “If they wanted to commerate the birthsite of Obummer, where would it be”?

I certainly would appreciate it if you could get the “drum beat” removed or reduced.

I find it very objectionable.

(a beat to beat the …. out of someone)

Fred!!! You don’t want to dance, hum? Hi Olin…lets step to the “beat of the drum”, hum? I’ve got my dancin’ shoes on for sure. lol

Carolynro. No, unfortunately, we missed Michigan. We did live in Ohio for a few years, you know, the place where U of M goes to find football players. I just couldn’t resist. Hi Gini.

We now reside in Louisiana, in an area that was once known as “the Neutral Zone”. Flyover to some, overlooked or ignored by many, but still hot, humid and politically exciting.

The only difference that I see between our corrupt politics and other states is that Louisiana never tried to hide it. Doesn’t make it right, just out in the open.

Thoughts for the day.
1. Should lawyers be lawmakers?
2. If someone wanted to commemorate Obummer’s birthplace, where would it be?

Last Attempt.

No Carolynro. Unfortunately, we missed Michigan, except to visit relatives. We did Live in Ohio for several years, you know, that place where U of M goes to find football players. Couldn’t resist. Hi Gini.

North Korea said Tuesday it would use nuclear weapons in a “merciless offensive” if provoked — its latest bellicose rhetoric apparently aimed at deterring any international punishment for its recent atomic test blast.

The tensions emanating from Pyongyang are beginning to hit nascent business ties with the South: a Seoul-based fur manufacturer became the first South Korean company to announce Monday it was pulling out of an industrial complex in the North’s border town of Kaesong.

Hello Carolynro. And no, we haven’t made it to Michigan except to visit relatives in Alma, unfortunately. We did live in Ohio for a few years, you know, the place where U of M goes to find football players. Could not resist. Hi Gini.

Good Morning Carolynro. No, unfortunately we never made it to Michigan, except to visit relatives in Alma. We now reside in Louisiana.

All of a sudden I can post again.

Carolynro. We did live in Ohio for a few years, you know, that place whwer U of M goes to find football players. I just could not resist.

Good Morning Gini.

Good morning Olin…it looks like it’s going to be a nice day here in Ohio. Haven’t looked at the weather tho.

Good Morning from Flyover. Foggy here this morning. Just the prelude to a hot and humid day.

It is good to have a place to express my conservative views without being accused of treason. Iam a Goldwater conservative of the old school. I am one Texican that voted against LBJ. I am glad that I did because look what “The great Society” brought us.

I do not believe in a “Nanny State”. Every able bodied man should work for a living and to provide for their family. Women that choose to work may do so, and must do so if they are the sole provider for their family.

I believe that everyone has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I will stand with anyone to protect their rights, but I am not their provider, unless I choose to be. Government should not be involved.

Thoughts for the day.
1. Washington, D. C., is 61 square miles surrounded by reality.
2. Lawyers should not be lawmakers. Bigtime conflict of interest.
3. If someone wanted to commemorate Obummer’s birthplace, where would it be?

What then would the employment figures be, if 10 percent are lost? Would seem that ninety percent of America is working?? Hummm… There’s Newt..we like him most of the time, anyway.

50,000,000 Jobs Saved. I can see the headlines now. The MSM will believe and print anything the Grate One says. Just as they say he is like GOD. Blasphemy.

Still having trouble with wordpest. And I did not misspell GRATE. He does grate. When he starts his holier than thou speeches, it is like fingernails on a blackboard to me.

Why is Fox not calling on his big PONZI Scheme? He is doing to us/American Cits what Madoff did to people who trusted him. No I did not vote for him. I think he is a want to be King/Czar or God. Come on people wake up before all of our rights are gone. We will end of making items currently made in China. Shame shame shame Obama!

William,

What do you think President Obama’s stance should be regarding North Korea? Do you think we need more of the same (talk, platitudes, warm and fuzzy hugs, apologies)? Are you thinking what I’m thinking–that we need a president who knows enough about history to recognize the consequences of appeasement? Can ANYONE think of a worse guy to have in the White House now that we have thugs heading governments in Korea, Iran, and Venezuela; and they’re all pushing the envelope to see what they can get away with? Honestly folks, I am concerned about our country!

Let them know that we will be arming Japan with nukes. That should get China moving to put a halt to the antics of North Korea. This is another replay of what they have done before. Don’t send Jimmy “Peace in our time” Carter to broker a deal. Somehow he gets the prize and we get the box.

Harvey and OlinL,

You both could not be more correct! OlinL, I remember watching PART of Obama’s inauguration. I commented on this before; but, honestly, it was a little scary. The crowd present responded to him as if he were, somehow, divine ! It is really scary when we think with our emotions instead of our brain. That’s how Hitler got so out of control. That’s how Jim Jones got so out of control. Don’t get me wrong. I do not believe Obama is anywhere close to the evil that Hitler and Jones were. BUT, I am convinced that he was elected–not because his stand on issues made sense; rather, he was elected because too many people in this country–especially young people–get their educations from the television (with fine intellectual programming, such as MTV, Jerry Springer, and those fine, informative “reality shows).
And Harvey, I teach school. Some of my friends recently tore their bulletin boards down as they closed out the school year. I keep telling them to SAVE their bulletin board paper, because before long it will be equal in value to our dollar, given the way our government is now spending and simply PRINTING money.

Good Morning everyone
Mac, you could be right, they kind left in the same manner,
and Im glad that you like it here, there is some very good people here.

Roy we should be concerned, everything thats going on right now is against what this country stands for, I dont know what to think sometimes,
even this one Network Fox News…. is driving them crazy,
we have one Network thats fair and balance… and they cant handle it,
I have said this before… Fox News is on the right side of my thinking.
Fox News is NUMERO UNO in my book my friends.

So, Olinl: The Tigers you were referring to were the LSU Tigers and not the Detroit Tigers!!!LOL

Voight, said it the way it is.

Good morning Sal, a gorgeous day blooming here in Ohio. Sure hope it stays that way, as I am off today!
Roy…I don’t think William Blast is a “real person”. These are news notes, and interesting, but not a real person. Could be wrong, but they are posted, and no agenda attached…just the “news folks”.

Olin…I thought Al was going over to “broker” a deal for his employee’s captured by the NK. We should just march in there and get them back, and smack the livin’ @@@@ out of that crazy person in charge. Well..of course, we “can’t do that”, I realize, but man, wouldn’t that be something to see??? Oh well…we will pray very hard for their safe return, and hope they are not treated too badly…oh, but I weep for their families, anxiously waiting for intervention on their behalf. lol

Good Morning Gini, yes it is a beautiful day.

*William Bast…that is!!! heheheehe…good morning Sal. Roy, if you chk other pages, you will see that “news notes” are posted here frequently, using many dif names. William Bast is on yesterdays’ page, also. lol Look Who’s, page? The second thread put up, by Aly. lol fr Sat, I think? lol

Good Morning Sal, Roy, Gini and all. I have the crews off for their appointed jobs and it is too wet (heavy dew this AM) to start bushhogging. For the uneducated, that is a mower deck, attached to a tractor that will wipe out any vegetation 3″ in diameter or smaller.

I realize that this is counter-productive to reducing green house gases, but it is necessary to control the jungle.

bbl…need to get tuit, or the day will get away fr me, again!!! haha! lol Vaca starts, however, in one more day, so am looking forward to a moment of pause, in these hectic days. Have taken a break fr the news, lately, and seems I haven’t missed much at all…the same antics by an out of control government, that needs reigning in for sure. lol

Olin

Good Morning Olin L and Carolyn.

Gini,

I’m next door to ya. I live and work in Huntington, (wild and wonderful) West Virginia. I had an uncle (now disceased) who lived in Jackson, Ohio and another who lived in Canton. Lots of nice people living in Ohio. I think I’ve found another one.

Have a great day everyone.

Roy,

I have faith in our president. He is the finest president I can remember. Sooner or later, you will fiend that out.

Gini.

I realize that I am a total dummy when it comes to computers, blogging, etc., but why is it when I click on your name I get Chas’s blog page?

Death, taxes & Obamacare: Poster contest, Round Two
By Michelle Malkin • June 9, 2009 10:48 AM

We kicked off the Obamacare poster contest yesterday with some fantastic entries — spearheaded by Scott G. at Ah, Shoot.

http://michellemalkin.com/

Some really good ones ~

Roy: I have faith that our last president will be treated kindly by the historians even if present day people are too short-sighted to see it now. And in Obama’s words: “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet”. Those words scare me because our democat governor here in Michigan said those same words a couple of years ago and our unemployment is around 13%, businesses are fleeing the high taxes and loss of any kind of industrial base, and one family leaves here every 12 minutes. No, we haven’t seen anything, yet. Not unless you look back to the 1930’s, that is. I am afraid, very afraid.

There is nothing in this president’s plan that involves private business, unless it is the government buying in. All of the stimulus jobs are in the public sector, and most of the jobs are temporary construction jobs. Sure, suppliers will prosper.

The scary thing is his Youth Corps with only a yet to be stated purpose. Will this be the CO2 Police, determining, however arbitrarily, the amount you should be taxed for your emisions?

Now I hear that the Greenies want to have mandatory meatless days to reduce green house gases. If they would only stop breathing and using up good air, we would not have a problem. Maybe we could mandate that they hold their breath for ten minutes each day.

For your listening pleasure Rush is on ~

winknewsradio.com

(keep it hush hush, Oruler doesn’t want you to listen to him)

Olin,

I can answer that. Gini is my prerss agent….lol

Truth is, she is a big supporter of my blog and wanted to advertise it since she doesn’t have a blog of her own.

chas

Hello everyone,
I can’t stay,it’s a busy day for me. I will be back this early evening, and hopefully have some time to talk with some of you great people here.
But before I go I just want to drop of this link to a speech given by Jon Voight.
We need more like Jon right now more than ever. This is a must see speech, if you are needing hope for our Country. Really people, try to find the time to watch this one, and ask others to watch it as well.
Thanks, Mac.
CYA’s L8R.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s75P8xNMZEE

G’ afternoon Mac ~ I saw Jon Voight on FOX this a.m. really good speech ~ thanks for posting it ~

Carolyn,

Yes, you folks in Michigan are having it rough, aren’t you? And no, “You ain’t seen nothing yet.” I know the auto industry is just a little important to your state. Are you feeling good about Uncle Sam owning about 60 percent of it?
And Clint, I honestly hope you are right; but if you are, the laws of economics are going to have to violate themselves. I don’t know how any government can just print money helter skelter without inflation going up to helter skelter levels. It is interesting that a few days ago, someone who holds the same belief about President Obama as you admitted that President Reagan was “brilliant”; yet, she thought Obama was doing just as good a job as he (Reagan) did. I don’t understand that, because Reagon was a “supply sider”. He did not print money like there is no tomorrow and throw it around in every direction. Jimmy Carter before him was more like Obama. He believed in wild spending; and before too long, we had double digit inflation, double digit unemployment, AND double digit interest rates.
Plus, there are so many areas in which Obama simply scares the daylight out of me. As I told someone earlier, he is simply too generous with my money, too indifferent about social issues, and too naive about terrorists. But, again, I hope you are right and I am wrong. I honestly do!
To your remark that Obama is the best president you can remember, I have to ask: How many do you remember?

Roy, are you talking about me? Wow, you sure got that wrong! LOL

(oops, sorry….I do read the blog for laughs) I’ll try to be quiet.

Liz…get over it! It’s not all about you, my dear! REALLY!!! No one is interesting in talking about you!!! You WERE the “laugh” here!

An open letter to Obama (good read)

http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/youscareme.asp

hi Betty!

I see that “Lurking Liz” is back…..after all her promises????…hmmm sounds like Obama’s broken promises, doesn’t it? LOL
and she thinks it’s all about her….we are all waiting, with baited breathe….for for pearls of wisdom to educate the rest of the world….
MINDLESS CHILD…..read a little, study history a little, learn the facts……come back in a few years maybe….if you have learned anything at all…..
and if you want to be here now….I suggest you buy a copy of the Miss Manners book first…..you can read, can’t you?
LOL LOL

La Liz! you might try reading these…….1984, Animal Farm, Brave New World, Farenheit 451……just a primer course for you….don’t want to overtax your intellect! LOL

Yes, Roy…things have been shaky here for about 6 years now. Familes are being split up as dads (or moms) take jobs in other states. One spouse has to stay here because their Michigan home will not sell. And if it does sell it is at about 50% of what they paid for it. I wish Clint was right. I even made a pledge to give him a chance but he is busting the constitution with all this government bankruptcy stuff and the closing of auto dealers and mandating how much money they can spend on advertising and mandating carbon emmissions at the time the auto companies can afford it. Obama policies remind me of someone who sees a person drowning and instead of calling a lifeguard who know how to save the person, Obama throws him a cement cinder block. We’ve been in business for almost 32 years and I cannot remember hearing about so many people being out of work or seen so many foreclosures in the paper.

OK, Jimmy….I know you are all into science fiction and conspiracy theories! I just find it hilarious. You don’t mind if I read all about it do you? LMAO! (I’ll be quiet most of the time because it’s a waste of time to try to be serious here)

the books I suggested are considered to be modern classics, Liz…..not sci-fi……an educated person would know that…..you are showing your lack of an education! LOL
have you ever read any of those? I doubt it!

while I do like sci-fi, I have never mentioned that to you on this blog…..and I am not into conspiracy theories!
just as I thought….you are someone I do know….logging in as Liz….a pretense, for sure…..don’t have the nerve to attack me with your real name, huh? LOL Oh, you little, mindless CHILD! LOL

oh…by the way…are you still into astrology? That’s really a sign of intelligence!!!! LOL

by the way….I’m a Taurus…..can you deal with that? Since it means so much to you! LOL LOL !!

or maybe you prefer to read Lenin and Marx, and Mein Camf….probably more meaningful to you and Obama! LOL LOL

maybe you should read about Neville Chamberlin and his “Appeasement Policy” towards Hitler in the 1930s….sounds like Obama Euro.trips, doesn’t it??? Hmmmmmm….no answer….not to worry…you can look it up on the Internet…..and cut, paste , and copy LOL…since you are not capable of an original thought on your own! LOL GROW UP CHILD!!!!!! LOL LOL

ok…I have to go and take care of my Mother…..bbl…..that should give you time to “hit and run”…since you haven’t had anything relevant to say……but,,,,,,I will be back….so you are not off he hook, my dear mindless child……should give you time to do some research on the Net…..and try to form some kind of decent opinion…..my class assignment to you…..come up with an adequate rebuttal…..try hard…..the Net can provide you with all the info you need….LOL LOL

All of a sudden, Obummer is a pay-as-you-go guy. Interesting since we heard none of that before the stimulus package. TARP was Bush’s, and yes we should have been pay-as-you-go then, too.

But what is going to be cut to get to universal health care? Defense? Section VIII housing? Government jobs? Social Security and Medicare? Medicaid? Food Stamps? It sounds good, but it is all BS. Just more campaigning by our perennial candidate. Congress won’t cut spending, and Obummer won’t veto.

Hey Everyone,

Let’s not let anyone bait us. I refuse to get into another slugfest. It isn’t worth it. Liz if you want to state your opinion, do so. I will not call you stupid, immature, or ignorant. I think if ALL of us can be careful not to use terminology such as “rude”, “crazy”, etc, we’ll all be able to enjoy this blog more. We should even be careful not to apply this terminology to the ideas people express; because, after all, if we say that an idea is “crazy” we also say the person expressing that idea is “crazy”. If I am very FIRM in my opinions, and they aren’t likely to change. However, any masochist who has the energy is welcome to try.

Jimmy!! Chill out!! Please!! You are contributing to Global Warming.

Some things you just cannot change.

The Carley Simon song comes to mind.

You are correct Olin, somethings you can’t change, won’t go into them but I’m sure you know what they are.

chas

The Carley Simon song that comes to mind is “Your So Vain”. LOL

I see that an editor for Newsweek has pronounced Obummer as higher than our nation and the world. Sort of like a god. I guess he is living in the Obummersphere, that place that only egos can take us. Such audacity.

Olinl: The mightier they are, the harder they fall!

The way I see it, Capitalists have gutted capitalism, from the over-greedy and dumb who took loans they could not afford in order to build their own wealth, to the very top capitalists leading our biggest banks who ignored risk at all turns in order to create more profit, to our great government leaders, such as Paulson and Bush, Gramm, Chaney, Clinton, etc, who all made some very poor policy decisions.

While you may like to create this ideal Capitalism in your head and pick a select few who are ruining it, the reality is that WE, the most capitalistic society on the globe, have ruined ourselves by short-term thinking and greed. There are no THEY, there is only WE muchacho. Dumb, self-centered, ahort-sighted, fat (not me of course), arrogant and lazy.

As the great line from Young Guns says so clearly,

“Reap the whirlwind Sheriff, reap it!”

“He who knows best knows how little he knows.” Th. Jefferson

It’s nice to see you admit that chas! LOL

and I’m sure that Jefferson did too! I see his face every day on my money….and from now on I will think of that quote! LOL

Seems to me that legend has it that Vampires cannot see their reflections in a mirror.

chas

Sci-fi, conspiracy and vampires??? I love it! LOL

Watch “30 Days of Night” — Vampires at the top of Alaska! I bet Sarah has never been there! (or maybe that’s where she comes from?) LOLOLOLOL

Good Evening, everyone. Sweet Dreams.

Unless we are talking about coins, the best place to find currency with TJ’s picture is at a race track, since he is on the $2 bill.

McAuliffe lost. Too bad, because he is such a genuinely nice person.

Nickels…..but not wooden ones. I’m not sure who’s going to be on those….maybe Bush! I hear they are cutting down the trees now!

I must say I have always liked Laura…..

Even Republican women can’t stand Limbaugh….well, what woman would? LOL

Well, it looks like GAME ON AGAIN!!!!!

When you can’t attack the message, attack the messenger.

Good Night, again.

Becoming Illegal

(Actual letter from an Iowa resident and sent to his senator)

The Honorable Tom Harkin

731 Hart Senate Office Building

Phone (202) 224 3254

Washington, D. C. 20510

Dear Senator Harkin,

As a native Iowan and excellent customer of the Internal Revenue Service, I am writing to ask for your assistance. I have contacted the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to determine the process for becoming an illegal alien and they referred me to you.

My primary reason for wishing to change my status from U. S. Citizen to illegal alien stems from the bill which was recently passed by the Senate and for which you voted. If my understanding of this bill’s provisions is accurate, as an illegal alien who has been in the United States for five years, all I need to do to become a citizen is to pay a $2,000 fine and income taxes for three of the last five years. I know a good deal when I see one and I am anxious to get the process started before everyone figures it out.

Simply put, those of us who have been here legally have had to pay taxes every year so I’m excited about the prospect of avoiding two years of taxes in return for paying a $2,000 fine. Is there any way that I can apply to be illegal retroactively? This would yield an excellent result for me and my family because we paid heavy taxes in 2004 and 2005.

Additionally, as an illegal alien I could begin using the local emegency room as my primary health care provider. Once I have stopped paying premiums for medical insurance, my accountant figures I could save almost $10,000 a year.

Another benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my daughter would receive preferential treatment relative to her law school applications, as well as “in-state” tuition rates for many colleges throughout the United States for my son.

Lastly, I understand that illegal status would relieve me of the burden of renewing my driver’s license and making those burdensome car insurance premiums. This is very important to me given that I still have college-age children driving my car.

If you would provide me with an outline of the process to become illegal (retroactively if possible) and copies of the necessary forms, I would be most appreciative.

Thank you for your assistance.

Your Loyal Constituent,

(hoping to reach “illegal alien” status rather than just a bonafide citizen of the U. S. A.)

I got that post from a 912′er named , MrWest – @ – http://theglennbeck912project.com/vent-8/

Anyone here???
Or is it a weekend thing????

Sounds good to me. Do we get to pick which 3 out of 5 to use? Do we get all of the other “Nanny State” entitlements?

The last major TV stations that are still broadcasting in analog will turn those signals off Friday and go all digital. And this time, they really mean it.

The original Feb. 17 deadline for the shutdown was delayed by the Obama administration after funding ran out for $40 coupons the government offered to help people buy converter boxes for old TVs.

Now officials say the country is much better prepared than in February, though they still expect some viewers to be confused.

About 3.1 million U.S. homes were unprepared to receive digital signals as of late last month, according to the Nielsen Co. That’s half the number that were unprepared in February, and the number will probably decline further by Friday, as procrastinators get around to replacing old TVs or hooking them up to converter boxes or cable or satellite service.
