According to our latest sources, members of the T-Party are unhappy with Mr. Etch a Sketch, the Presumptive Presidential Pick of the rePublican Party. So much so, that they’ve come up with their own marching song:
There’s a hole in the budget, Mitt Romney, Mitt Romney;
There’s a hole in the budget, Mitt Romney, there’s a hole.
Fix the hole in the budget, poor people, poor people;
Fix the hole in the budget, poor people, fix it.
With what shall we fix it, Mitt Romney, Mitt Romney;
With what shall we fix it, Mitt Romney, with what?
I’ll cut Welfare, poor people, poor people,
I’ll cut Welfare, poor people, I’ll cut.
There’s still a hole in the budget, Mitt Romney, Mitt Romney;
There’s still a hole in the budget, Mitt Romney, still a hole.
I’ll cut food stamps, poor people, poor people,
I’ll cut food stamps, poor people, I’ll cut.
There’s still a hole in the budget, Mitt Romney, Mitt Romney;
There’s still a hole in the budget, Mitt Romney’s still A-Hole.
(sung to the tune “There’s a hole in the bucket”)

I still have The Whole of the Moon in my head from last Friday night. I doubt there is any room left in there.
On last night’s Rachel Maddow Show, a segment on the attempted influence of right wing ‘Religionistas’ on national politics. Be prepared to be disgusted!
“And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But you, when you pray, enter into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly.” — Matthew 6:5-6
Makes you wonder if they read the damned thing…
They don’t.
And you can almost always throw a passage at Matthew at them that contradicts whatever extreme behavior they’re exhibiting at the time.
Such as this:
That would mean taking no tax deduction. That would mean not bragging about on the campaign trail.
Nope they don’t

EV, did you catch it at TP? Michelle Bachmann is now a Swiss Citizen.
You can have her…keep her.
Please!
😆
Grrrrrrr. I applied for citizenship only last Christmas, had to wait for twelve years, leap through hoops to do the application, pay taxes, do voluntary service, and she? Marries in 1978 and is entitled to a passport. And her brood was accepted, too. I am seriously pissed.
I didn’t think you could have dual citizenship in the good ol’ USA.
Did she apply for citizenship to visit money she has in an account there?
Yup you can keep most dual citizenships – I have a feeling North Korea might be a problem, but then their banking system is a bit more rudimentary.
looks like Shelly might be thinking of running for the hills… er the Alps?
Gotta wonder when she was applying for this then. What does it take to get dual citizenship and how long? Was she applying while she was running for President?
And, can you imagine the shrieking from the right if this had been a Democrat?
IF the Repugs should ever again, in my lifetime, regain the White House along with a congressional majority, and if I’m physically able, I’m leaving. Costa Rica, Panama, Belize, Society Islands, anywhere that’ll allow me in, and anywhere of decent clime where the Fascist population is minimal. I’ll have to keep my US citizenship, I suppose, else they might not send me my monthly Social Security windfall? How does that work? Anyone know?
My preference is that the Repugs take a constant drubbing in the polls. Forever and ever, amen. I have little confidence, however, that the collective national IQ has enough muscle in it to accomplish same, so I fall back on my 1952 Boy Scout experience and their motto: Be Prepared! Actually, if I really wanted to enjoy the fruits of a Fascist lifestyle, I’d move to, say, Idaho, maybe join a militia even, git me a AK47, etc. But no, I’ve read enough about the joys of those caught up in Nazi Germany in the thirties and forties to conclude it’s not for me.
I did ponder taking the popular escape route to Canada in 1965 and 1966, but didn’t. Unfortunately. I stayed here, assumed the idiocy was temporary, that we’d soon revert to the path of social and scientific progress I had gotten used to in the JFK years. But no, ’twas not to be. And I chose to stay here in the US rather than go. Dammit..

Since we are on Mit Romney again – here’s a reprise of Life of Mitt

Lawrence O’Donnell suggested this.
The lyrics of Stephen Foster’s “Oh Susanna” seem Romney-like to me:
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
The Sun so hot I froze to death, Susanna don’t you cry
Its a catchy tune, one worthy of Romneyfied lyrics I think…
He was born in Michigan, where he likes the height of trees
Headed now for Washington, seeking our Presidency
Oh, Mitt Romney, I can not vote for thee
We will surely go to Hell, with Mitt Romney in D.C.
So put your minds to work on this one and maybe Wayne can record it!
With one idea Mitt Romney saved the auto industry
Although Bain Capital refused to give them one penny
Oh, Mitt Romney, I will not vote for thee
Our home becomes a laughingstock, with Romney in D.C.
Oh Windsock Willard changes minds, as fitful as the breeze
And keeps his big retirement egg in islands overseas
Oh, Mitt Romney, I barf to vote for thee
My spirit will give up the ghost, with Romney in DC
Mitt Romney’s magic underwear protects him from The Gay
And kept him from the fight in Vietnam, O Blessed Day
Oh, Mitt Romney, my dog won’t vote for thee
He fears you’ll screw another pooch while moving to DC
This is hilarious! 🙂
Nicely done!
Mitt Romney doesn’t like long hair, at least in younger days
A pair of scissors he did use to change a classmate’s ways
He also likes to see blind people walking into things
With pranks pulled on the handicapped, in dorms his laughter rings
Oh, Mitt Romney, I will not vote for thee
Your preying on the less endowed is sickening to me
[more as headlines dictate…]
Oh! Mitt Romney

I’m just a simple voter
With a smart phone on my knee
I want to have a president
Who cares for you and me
The times are tough and tempers short
We know the reason why
We need someone who gives a rip
Mitt Romney’s not our guy.
Oh! Mitt Romeny Oh! Don’t you pander me
I’m just a simple voter, with a smart phone on my knee
The rich don’t need those darn tax cuts
The middle class is broke
This Romney guy’s so out of touch
Rich egos he does stroke
He takes all sides on everything
He doesn’t really try
I hope some day, that he’ll go ‘way
Mitt Romney’s not our guy.
Oh! Mitt Romeny Oh! Don’t you pander me
I’m just a simple voter, with a smart phone on my knee
He takes offense to be called rich
Despite the silver spoon
He wears white slacks in early May
It really is too soon
The jobs are gone, all thanks to him
And all his pals in ties
We need to get those jobs back now
Mitt Romney’s not our guy.
Oh! Mitt Romeny Oh! Don’t you pander me
I’m just a simple voter, with a smart phone on my knee
It soon will be the day to vote
On issues I will ponder
And then I’ll vote for president
A right I will not squander
We must not let those Grand Old Fools
From my cold dead hands do pry
The right to be American
Mitt Romney’s not our guy.
Oh! Mitt Romeny Oh! Don’t you pander me

I’ll weigh in with BRILLIANT! It’s a darned shame we live so far apart, else we could make a video of all of us singing this.
Thanks! I’m seeing if I can’t put together a sing-a-long video.
Indiana QOTD:
“I have a mindset that says bipartisanship ought to consist of Democrats coming to the Republican point of view,” – Richard Mourdock, the GOP primary challenger that knocked out Dick Lugar last night.
“Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black.” — Henry Ford
Sounds better in the original German I’m sure…
What a prick. I certainly hope he loses to the Democrat.
North Carolina QOTD:
“It’s a generational issue. If it passes, I think it will be repealed within 20 years,” – North Carolina State House Speaker Thom Tillis, a Republican.
Well then, not so bad is it? Nnnnggggggggg, trying hard not to scream.
Good news : Thatcher has died.
Bad news : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8358544.stm
Damn. Poor kitty.
Umm, don’t you have those reversed?
You’ll have to go a little further than that EV to justify why this would be ‘good news’…. I’m of mixed opinion when it comes to Margaret Thatcher. So when she really goes, and not just Stephen “Canadian Caesar’ Harper’s cat, I’ll try and put it into words.
She won’t go in a hurry. And, if she had, I’d have said more to that. I have, however, no mixed feelings about her to be honest.
The Winter of Discontent sucked, no matter who you were.
Matt Taibbi, in his inimitable fashion, predicts the election:
“The people who work for the wire services and the news networks are physically incapable of writing sentences like, “This election is even more over than the Knicks-Heat series.” They are required, if not by law then by neurological reflex, to describe every presidential campaign as “fierce” and “drawn-out” and “hotly-contested.”
But this campaign, relatively speaking, will not be fierce or hotly contested. Instead it’ll be disappointing, embarrassing, and over very quickly, like a hand job in a Bangkok bathhouse. And everybody knows it. It’s just impossible to take Mitt Romney seriously as a presidential candidate. Even the news reporters who are paid to drum up dramatic undertones are having a hard time selling Romney as half of a titanic title bout.”
I’d be more confident if it wasn’t for voter ID laws and Diebold voting machines.
Moreover, you have sites like RealClearlySlantedPolitics showing national polls where the ‘virtual tie’ is hammered away, whilst nearly all the individual key STATE polls show Obama in an electoral runaway.
Apparently, Obama will soon be discussing his position on same sex marriage this afternoon on ABC. Y’all with teevee machines keep an eye on things, okay?
Ima work on my job application for a job at the community college that I really really want. Check back laters.

Former MI Gov. Blasts Romney Who ‘Knifed Us In The Back’ For Taking Auto Rescue Credit

Here’s a fantastic comment from an MSNBC article about the “Texas sized patch of garbage floating in the North Pacific from commenter Genesisreader…
“Send it to North Carolina. They could divide it amongst the Koch Brothers and Dick Army. They could use ultrasound on it to let it see how disgusting it is when they show it the video. Perhaps they can insulate themselves with the trash or make it into a wall around their state to keep out the gay whales. And maybe they could bury it like all the rest of their dirty secrets held by the Republican zealots that dwell there and refuse to accept anyone not like them, when they are just like them. Bigots and trash….seems to be a match made in heaven. The Democrats could hide from the rest of the North Carolinians by making effigies out of it that the Republicans could burn with their torches and ropes. Would be just another day in paradise for the Republicans. “

Now it appears that Meghan’s smarmy tweet has been deleted along with my response. Someone pointed out to her that marriage is a state issue.
Paraphrase, perhaps.
“Better late than never. Will Obama now introduce gay marriage legislation in Congress”
Me: Yeah, that would be so effective in this Congress. Maybe your dad could introduce it.
Oh, shut up.
Uh huh, like Obama’s endorsement would have made an iota of difference in North Carolina.
Indeed. Please tell me, log cabinets, how the President can affect a constitutional amendment at the state level.
But, really, why would anyone be interested in the opinions of gay people stupid enough to be Republicans?
If Obama would have come out before NC, then it would have been turned into a referendum on him (politically).
Obama is just a big old meanie. Who does he think he is, supporting equal rights for all?
The catholic church is free to perform or not perform marriage ceremonies as they wish. They are already free to refuse to marry divorced folks, unless, I suspect, they or their families are big contributors. As soon as marriage became intertwined with tax law, inheritance law and family law it ceased to be a religious ceremony and became a matter of equal rights under the law.
He’s got it all wroing. It’s not anti Catholic, it’s pro Muslim! Sheeesh.
I believe God also created gays before the existence of the Catholic Church. So there. Pfffftttt.

Good god, I’ve never had an application wherein I had to answer essay questions. This is taking all afternoon! *grumble*
I had a call the other day from a company I applied to back in June. They wanted me to come in and take a ‘machinist test’, according to the young lady that called me. I begged off by telling her I had applied for a bank loan and couldn’t put my loan at risk by changing jobs just yet. I didn’t tell her I was working 200 yards from their shop on the same road.
You should join the diplomatic corps! Too funny!
So, the righties are making hey about the fact that an prison inmate in WV got himself on the Democratic primary to challenge Obama. And that he got 40% of the vote.
Okay. Obama still wins. 🙂
And if you take a peek at the election results you’ll see that said inmate pulled in around 57,000 votes to Obama’s 76,500. What you may not see reported in Romney only got about 59,000 votes. So in that matchup, while Romney still wins, the inmate gets 49%.
Encouraging to see that Dem turnout was much higher than Republican turnout.
It appears that many of the Keith Judd votes were crossover Republicans. I expect that in order to vote for Judd, they had to request a Democratic Party ballot, and couldn’t vote in the Republican Party primary at all. There’s also a 20,000 vote undervote between the Dem Presidential race and the Dem Senate race. Nearly as many voted for Repub President but didn’t cast a vote for the Repub Senate candidate.
Yeah, this had shenanigans written all over it.

Hey everyone. Flew back from New York yesterday and are my arms tired! Had a super time.
Saw a Yankees game.
Saw Death of a Salesman.
Went to the Frick, MoMa and Museum of the City of New York
Walked around Brooklyn (Sunset park, Green Wood Cemetary, Borough neighbourhood, Prospect Park)
Had brunch at Red Rooster in Harlem (must go on Sunday)
Walked in Central Park.
Had a chat with Barack and told him to man up (he did!)
Walked around Wall Street, 911 site (didn’t go in because you had to pre book)
Went to Jazz Standard and saw Gregoire Maret (harmonica wizard) with Cassandra Wilson
Walked around the flower district.
Had a beer in Bryant Park
Went to the Frieze Art Fair
Did a 3 hour boat tour around Manhattan island.
And a few more things like eating and eating.
Only one of those things above is untrue!!
Who was the salesman that you saw die? 😉
He was pestering us to go to a “Men’s Club”. 😯
It sounds like you had a lot of fun at any rate. Did you give my regards to Broadway?
Sorry just mine!
And did anyone call 911? 😉
Must have, there were many sirens to be heard.
A three hour tour? Hopefully the weather didn’t start getting rough. And your tiny ship was tossed…
We had plenty of jokes about that. At one point the wind was very cold and we thought a small tropical island would have been welcome.
Jam-packed vacation – how wonderful you were able to get so much done!
Welcome Home!
If you get bored in New York, your doing something wrong. It’s good, and bad, to be home. Thanks.
Thanks for having that chat with Barack. 😉
I’m glad you had a great time!
Thanks. You have a good eye for facts!
Sounds like you really painted the town red, dycker – how long were you in NYC? And did you not realize that Wayne and I are only about a 1-1/2 hour train ride north of the city?
We were there for one week. I new you are in the state but didn’t know you where that close. We must remember that next time. A trip out would be grand!
What a crappy day. I started vomiting about 6AM, started vomiting blood about 11AM, and spent the rest of the day in the ER getting pumped full of saline and sucrose and various ineffective anti nausea meds. Oh well. It was a good run for me. I was going through this about once every three-four months and the last time was over a year ago. I sure do wish that someone could figure out what triggers it. I opened a new head of lettuce last night and thought it might be simple food poisoning but my lab work came back negative. Oh, well. I’m going to suck on a LifeSaver and hopefully pass out. If there’s anything more exhausting than incessant vomiting I’ve yet to experience it.
G’night. I’m just happy to be here.
Sorry to hear Pete. Take it easy.
Take it easy.
There is a silver lining. I can say “screw the diet” for a couple days. Ice cream, candy, and sugary drinks until I get my strength back!
G’night again.
We’re glad you’re here. Hope a night’s rest does you well.
Oh no, not again. Take it easy, pete.

As seen on The Ed Show about two minutes ago (they didn’t post any of my others, that I know of)
https://twitter.com/#!/WayneASchneider/status/200379153281855489
You’re becoming a regular on the Big Eddie show!
It’s also getting me new followers, too. And some fans. Like Leftside Annie. 😀
And me! If I could remember my password. 🙂
Try to log in and tell them you forgot your password. Make a new one, one that easy to remember. I can e-mail you some suggestions.
Hey, another two-fer night.
https://twitter.com/#!/WayneASchneider/status/200381227109318656
And i saw another one of Leftside Annie’s.
Grats. Keep an eye out for some zxbe’s too. I’ve tipped my toe into the water. 🙂
Thanks, zxbe. Good luck to you. On what topic did you post a tweet?
I did a few on walker. My challenge is I can’t see the TV from where I can tweet. lol
That can make it harder. If I may make a suggestion for next time. Go to Ed’s MSNBC website ahead of time (http://ed.msnbc.msn.com/) and post tweets about the subjects he’ll be covering before the segments start. Last topic is GOP claims that they’re “pro-Women”, so start tweeting now! 🙂
A three-tweet night for me and The Ed Show!
https://twitter.com/#!/WayneASchneider/status/200383351255863296
First one when they started the segment about education in PA
Wayne, methinks you are becoming twitter obsessed (twob?) 😀
No, just obsessed with seeing my name on national television. 🙂
Yes, definitely better than the Smoking Gun. 😛
pachy, trade mark that most appropriate word!!!!!
Can the Zoo trademark it or copy write it? I give all rights to the Zoo!
Is a three-tweet a twrip or a twree?
A “threet”(tm) 🙂
At this rate you’ll have to have your people call Ed’s people about writing credits. Nothing pretentious, mind you, just a little something you can spend on jewels and precious metals.
LOL! I only knew you wrote that because I told my people to let me know when someone replies to me at The Zoo. 😀
Sorry to hear about your health misadventures. I hope you’re okay and feeling better soon.
The good part is that once a bout is over it’s over. It’s like a switch. Some combination of medications and, usually, sucking on hard candy eventually does the trick and I’m good to go, but weak as a kitten. I would be asleep right now if it weren’t for the raw throat that I’m treating with small helpings of ice cream and sucking on ice cubes. It’s a little early to take my sleepy time meds anyway. i don’t want to wake up at 0 Dark-hundred.
pete, re your vomiting: I don’t know if vacating involuntarily from that end is any better than from the other end but just one is definitely better than both at the same time. 😐
I suspect you’ve been getting too much fresh air! 🙂
I vacate from the other end too but it’s a mere inconvenience by comparison so it’s hardly worth mentioning. Fresh air has never bothered me before but I suspect that the drastically reduced beer consumption might play a part. My system can’t seem to adjust to sugarless lemonade and diet Coke. The weird part is that I’m craving a salad like you wouldn’t believe. Thinking; “I could really go for a salad” while eating a bowl of strawberry ice cream is just weird and disturbing!
Damn! You are on fire!
Besides Leftside Annie, I’ve seen some tweets from other people I follow. And I started doing it when I noticed that some people have had multiple tweets in one show. It’s fun. You should try it. All Critters and Zoosters who tweet should try it. Imagine if they did a segment where all of us got a tweet on. Cool!
I was thinking about you, really! 😉 Got my adrenalin flowing I guess.
Oh yes, I often have that effect. 😉
Obama’s Christianity:
“In the end the values that I care most deeply about and [Michelle] cares most deeply about is how we treat other people and, you know, I, you know, we are both practicing Christians and obviously this position may be considered to put us at odds with the views of others but, you know, when we think about our faith, the thing at root that we think about is, not only Christ sacrificing himself on our behalf, but it’s also the Golden Rule, you know, treat others the way you would want to be treated. And I think that’s what we try to impart to our kids and that’s what motivates me as president and I figure the most consistent I can be in being true to those precepts, the better I’ll be as a as a dad and a husband and hopefully the better I’ll be as president.” — President Obama
“Treat others the way you would want to be treated.”
What is it about that that Christians cannot understand?
A cynic would say President Obama is just trying to appeal to Christians. I would say that Christians should see that President Obama is doing his best to just be a good Christian.
Everything and anything that makes any sense.
He is awesome.
Like Obama, I took a long time to reconcile the christian teaching of my youth with the way I felt I should live in this world. Simplistic as it is, it comes down to “Who would Jesus have dinner with?”. The answer is: the dispossessed and the outcasts. What ever else God intends, He wants me to enable every man and woman on this planet to live in the dignity he intended. Marrying the person you love is an act that lifts up the human spirit and I cannot deny that to my gay brethren. I firmly believe Jesus would dance at the wedding of any two people who commit to each other in love. Sorry to go all religious on you folks, I just feel I understand why it took our president a while. Those whose spiritual journey calcifies early on remain children in their understanding.
BARACK!! Thank you Mr. President for putting your words in harmony with your actions. Civil rights for all is all we got.
Look who the cat dragged in!
and no worse from the wear
Good to see you, nwoldguy.
I’m always here with you, albeit invisable at times 😉
also I see what you did with “teh Wateringhole”. Heh
Gotta give BnF the credit or blame for that one!
That’s good. 🙂
I can’t believe it’s 7:30 already. It took me about 7 hours to finish that application!
I really hope this is the one.
As we all do. Go Girl, and stay positive
I hope so too. I hate essay questions on applications.
Thanks, Outstanding & nwoldguy. 🙂
Good luck, my friend. 🙂
If you were as brilliant on the application as with your schoolwork, you’re a shoe-in! Of course, we all know why people get jobs in human resources…
Because they view us as cattle? 😯
Thanks for saying such a sweet thing, House.
That I noticed? Gawd I’m getting old, and slow.
Nah. It’s easy to miss.
“Barack Obama is an ethical man and a philosophically confused man,” said Peruvian congresswoman Martha Chavez of the conservative Catholic Opus Dei movement. “He knows that marriage isn’t an issue only of traditions or of religious beliefs. Marriage is a natural institution that supports the union of two people of different sexes because it has a procreative function.”
O rly? Should childless couples, either by choice or physiology, be excommunicated?
me thinks Martha should chew on some cocao leaves and stfu
Sex is a natural institution that supports the union of two people of different sexes because it has a procreative function. Child rearing can be successfully done in a variety of family configurations. As an overworked mom in a family of four, I often longed for a tribe to share the joy and responsibility with.
I guess single, unfertile women should be stoned in the public square.
I’m on my “new” computer! My old one was crashing and rebooting so much I barely had 20 minutes use every hour.
I’m really not sure what I did to make this one work, I was messing with all kinds of “bios” shit while I was stoned! I hope it will start up without having to do that again, mess with bios shit that is!
I have a lot of work ahead with updates to download and files to transfer.
“I’m really not sure what I did to make this one work, I was messing with all kinds of “bios” shit while I was stoned!”
That pretty much sums up my entire career.
Cool!

Awesome!!! If i get this job, I’ll send in money every month!
That Sinking Feeling
I’d like to help ‘talk CN down, but of course this was posted by Josh Marshall on one of his ‘dickless’ posts with no comments enabled!
I don’t think this will matter to the Reich, since they already believe so many lies about Obama.
That works both ways! The base will be energized, and people who might have stayed home to pout will get their butts out there.
All we need is a huge turnout on election day. The more people come out to vote, the better our chances!
My god, PA is laying waste to their schools. Unbelievable.
Oh, good news…. Ric Grenell says Obama is “on the right side of history” on his gay marriage statement.
Go back working for John Bolton, ya yutz.

Adorable.
Don’t tell Shayne or Jane I said that… 😉
“Don’t tell Shayne or Jane I said that”
Why? I thought that you liked all animals except cats? 😉
I do, but I have a reputation to uphold. 😀
Cats, too.
Wow, the conspiracy nuts really have a problem with reality.

Come for the article, but stay for the comments.
Oy.
Good Lord. The photo in front of Hilary is blurred to avoid disclosing our ability to photograph from drone or satellite. The rest is crazy shit. Their Uncle Sam header looks like he’s taking a shit.
It’s especially useful and nifty that you cannot enlarge any of these photos to see the true insanity of American Stinker .
These people should not go out in public unassisted.
Jennifer Granholm’s hair is a mess tonight, and she still looks good!
Former Mayor of San Francisco, and ‘current’ Lt. Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, is getting a show on Current soon, A weekend show, if I have comprehended properly.
I’m wondering how the Reich will respond to having a serving Democrat host a news/opinion show?
They sure like his harpy ex-wife!
He sure has led an ‘interesting’ life, hasn’t he?
I just hope he’s the genuine article.
I still don’t have that song out of my head.
It’s kind of becoming the rhythm of my life, like the cadence that drove ‘The Master’ in Doctor Who. I doubt I’ll become Prime Minister though.
😆
Not ‘Hole in the Bucket’, The Waterboys’ Whole of the Moon!
At the risk of sounding like Bill Maher, (not that that’s a bad thing), was it me, or did Obama say in his announcement, ‘assless chaps for everybody!’ 😀
!!!(House – that made me laugh out loud)!!!!
Okay, have fun!
Way to go!
If I knew how do do that, I could make videos of my various parodies, too!
Thanks BnF. I think having the right software tools is the ticket. I do not have those tools. This was kind of brute force using what I had. I think what I need is some good key-frame animation tool. Absent that, what I did is I created about 15 different still images with the lyrics, and put them in my cheapo video editor to make a “slide” show. It allows for music to be added… and there it is. Then I kept tweaking the timing on each slide to get them to change at the right time (and that was tedious – lol). And viola. 😆
Excellent, especially in light of what I said earlier today. When did you write your lyrics?
Thanks! I was called to action by your challenge earlier today, and I wrote them this afternoon. Tweaked them a bit as I was making the video (just to get some phrasing to fit better). Then instead of being a couch potato I decided to be a computer chair potato tonight. 🙂
This is awesome!!!
Ah shucks… 🙂
Thanks!
I mean it! 😀
Thanks! And on that wonderful note, my bed is calling. Goodnight all.
Sleep well!
How wonderful to watch Stewart and Colbert again!
I absolutely love Colbert and his writers. Stephen’s delivery make great lines greater.
Hurray for the new computer – now we’ll have more pachy!
Trying something a little different — and iPad sleeve aka iPad cozy!
It was the twitter bird on it. 🙂
Wish I had an iPad – love the fabric..especially the dragonfly lining!
Me too! It would help in the pictures. 🙂
Okay, this is all I had time for…
Neato!!! You are so talented!
Thanks. 🙂
And another…
I think this is the best summation of the little tiny box Mitt find’s himself…
It’s okay to be Takei!
How come your gravatar is different in different comments. The primary comment gravatar I see is the Go Obama WWll woman and the reply gravatar is a beautiful woman.
I dunno, Pachy. I’m seeing just the WWII lady.
Weird, when I scroll over the beautiful woman the picture in the ‘View Complete Profile’ box is the WWII picture!
That is some weirdness!
Shit, its almost 1:30 here. I’m off to bed with the face of a beautiful woman to dream of…. or fantasize about! 😉
Sweet dreams about your mystery woman, Pachy. 🙂
