46382. wabbit - 4/14/2016 12:44:57 AM Have to agree with Ms. No about Trump/Cruz. If those were my only choices, I'd have to go with Trump. I think he could be somewhat moderated. Cruz, no, I think he's a religious zealot at best with no interest in compromise. If I want to live under a theocracy, I'll move.
What are we these days, a fiefdom, a plutocracy...? 46383. Ms. No - 4/15/2016 12:14:37 AM Corporatocracy -- is that a kind of oligarchy? I suppose. 46384. winstonsmith - 4/15/2016 1:51:10 AM For me, Cruz would be the worst. Just an insufferable sanctimonious ass.
Four years of his face/voice on the TV would be too much. 46385. arkymalarky - 4/15/2016 9:59:11 PM I agree with Lindsey Graham, though he picked his method. It's just too frightening to contemplate either way. 46386. judithathome - 4/16/2016 10:44:23 PM Tried four times yesterday to post something and it didn't go through...I give up. 46387. wabbit - 4/16/2016 11:08:42 PM Oligarchy, that's it. My brain is melting.
Received in an email and have to share:
Butch the Rooster
Sarah was in the fertilized egg business. She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs. She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.
This took a lot of time, so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing. She could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.
Sarah's favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but one morning she noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all. When she went to investigate, she saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets hearing the roosters coming ran for cover.
To Sarah's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job, and walk on to the next one.
Sarah was so proud of old Butch, she entered him in a Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Peace Prize" they awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well.
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could win two coveted awards by sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention?
Vote carefully in the next election. You can't always hear the bells.
Perhaps 'Peace' should be 'Piece'...46388. arkymalarky - 4/16/2016 11:49:25 PM Love it. 46389. arkymalarky - 4/16/2016 11:49:25 PM Love it. 46390. Ms. No - 4/17/2016 3:08:44 AM Ha! That's great! 46391. judithathome - 4/19/2016 10:38:48 PM Kareen Abdul-Jabbar Endorses Hillary
Excellent points in this endorsement... 46392. arkymalarky - 4/20/2016 1:10:57 AM I just love him 46393. arkymalarky - 4/22/2016 1:36:43 AM Bob Woodward is getting pathetic. 46394. Ms. No - 4/25/2016 5:59:00 AM Has been pathetic for some years now. He needed to fade gracefully away more than a decade ago. 46395. arkymalarky - 4/25/2016 3:52:44 PM I agree 46396. judithathome - 4/25/2016 5:40:33 PM One-half of a one hit wonder, IMO.
He should have retired after All The President's Men. 46397. wabbit - 4/28/2016 9:30:35 PM Former House Speaker John Boehner said he'd vote for Donald Trump in the general election if he were the Republican presidential nominee, but he wouldn’t vote for Ted Cruz.
“Lucifer in the flesh,” Boehner called Cruz on Wednesday during a talk at Stanford University, the student newspaper reported. “I have never worked with a more miserable son of a b---h in my life.” Tell us what you really think, John.46398. winstonsmith - 4/28/2016 11:42:24 PM The really striking thing is that even among a group filled with unlikable assholes, Cruz stands out as the biggest asshole. 46399. arkymalarky - 4/30/2016 1:52:01 AM Had he not so thoroughly and repeatedly shit his own nest, he had a really good chance of becoming the nominee at the convention. 46400. arkymalarky - 4/30/2016 1:52:26 AM Politicians are arrogant by nature, but he makes them look humble in comparison. 46401. robertjayb - 4/30/2016 7:31:51 PM Spouse and I are looking forward to the press bash tonight. Obama and his crew have plenty of material to work with. Tough to beat this from last year on Cruz comparing himself to Galileo: "Galileo believed the Earth revolves around the sun. Ted Cruz believes the earth revolves around Ted Cruz."
