Marjorie I read that Obama received 95+% of the African American vote. President Lyndon B. Johnson got 94 percent of the black vote. No Republican presidential candidate has gotten more than 15 percent of the black vote since. So really you should tear up that race card, you’re playing. It just looks silly.

we know you’re happy and celebrating Obama, but sometimes you just need to step away from the libations.

ha ha ha ha ha! Merrell, you must have hit a nerve ending. When they get tired of typing the ‘when we throw rocks it’s patriotic, when you take us to task, you’re horrible people’ silliness, or they can’t come up with anything, they start going on about real patriots and real americans and real republicans and geez somebody even slammed liberals as, get this, not real democrats (very funny, in a center left country!). So same tune, same ole song. all sound and fury, signifying nothing

To those that have misconceptions about Texas. Austin, Dallas, San Antonio and Houston all voted for Obama. In 2010 we intend to move heavily into the rural areas. Cornyn ran his reelection campaign this last year, on an end to partisan politics. Really. I would not lie to you. John “”Box Turtle” Cornyn was ranked by National Journal as the fourth-most conservative United States Senator in their 2006 rankings. A right wing war hawk, he evaded the Vietnam draft. His main donors are big oil, insurance, pharma and banking. Tom Delay is Cornyn’s hero and role model. Cornyn, Senator from Texas, voted with Bush 95% of the time. He was the one who stood up in the Senate (after the murder of 3 judges) and wondered aloud if there might be some connection between this violence and anger at liberal judges “where judges are making political decisions yet are unaccountable to the public”. He was chosen to be chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee for the coming 2010 election cycle. Totally Perfect.

CK! thumbs up, toes tapping, eyes lit and hearts flying!

Wlll that was delicious, DeBurca! Thank you. Oh georgia! How great. Now I want to know where I can read about Anne Lamott’s kitchen sink ‘click in the head’.

Thank you Ms. Dee. And I totally agree. Saved by the Balugas!

Oh! A Russian Wolfhound! One of the most beautiful beings I have ever seen! One upon a time as I was sitting looking out my window, down to Muir Beach came prancing two magnificent dogs. I gasped and called to my friends, come here! come and see this! We all stood transfixed, I could barely breathe, watching them move, dancing. Even a turn or a toss of their beautiful head was just incredible. What a sight they were to behold. I pulled myself out my trance and ran outside to ask their companions about them. Russian Wolfhounds, Borzoi, mother and daughter, they said. I used to dream of them after that and that first moment I saw them, dancing down my drive to the sand and the sea. I thought they looked, like the whole should look, so perfect, so alive, so graceful, so in tune with themselves and all things earthly and otherwise.

dear gulliver, I am sensing you have some “issues” on the subject of suicidal thoughts, ‘mr. reagan’, ‘Big-Pharma’ and the FDA. Your scenarios here, do not fit my story. But you are not actually talking to me, are you? You are projecting your own story and what you’ve learned. but your recovery is provisional Isn’t everything? How like life.

The world is run by crazy people, who feel the need to write their name on everything I look forward to the day, when the human race joins the animals, plants and trees, in exhibiting traits of the evolutionary process.

‘rains’! how many more can we do? Oh Obama and Biden are waving and smiling from the back of the train. The people are just sooo happy, it makes me wanna cry.

Georgia, Lily… This with the Dinging, I love it! And georgia, as your email audio, how clever. I wonder if I could find one I liked as my ringtone…hmmm I do need a ringtone that I like. I imagine Campbell is somewhere loving Obama’s journey and the journey of America. I can just picture him, eyes and hands dancing, giddy while he lays before us, the mythological stages of the “Hero”. Bill Moyers must be feeling a bit of this too.

Why yes, I agree it’s perfect! It leaves no stone unthrown. A perfect example of the wingnut mind! Wherein they are the ruling crass and are just adorable moral giants when they bash and trash. But when the rest of us do it, we are ever so uppity and rude. It is complete with the accusations of liberals ‘playing the victim’, followed by how white men are victims. And lest we think he is a racist, we are treated to the “I have a black friend’ song and really, he is very well behaved. yeah, if you want a glimpse at the mind of the authoritarian wing’ed’ nut, one need look no further … or deeper.

well I skimmed this little lecture, but really the first few lines, say it all, now don’t they? : ‘you on here show absolutely no respect for others view points. bash the person, call them names, repies (what is a repie?) do not reply to the position at all.’ ‘If you want others respect you first need to show respect.’ and the zinger: “I think that Ann Coulter is a very intelligent woman with alot of great things to say.” That is hysterical! you made me spit my coffee all over the putere’ screen. But I forgive you because it was so so funny. if you love AC, then little things like lack of respect, name calling, person bashing and incongruous replies should catapult you into a state of ecstasy. And this wonderful line “If you want others respect you first need to show respect” is absolutely priceless. Because you, not only didn’t see the need here, to do that yourownself, AC never ever ever ever ever does that. From the scolding, to the hand wringing to the whining to the patronizing, this condescending little rant is a riot.

very interesting Georgia. I love(d) Joseph Campbell, one of those who never really dies. How he could he, when he is such a permeating human?
