Top Ten Thoughts Going Through George W. Bush’s Mind At This Moment
10. “Damn, Al-Queda”
- “Am I that hungover?”
- “Wish I’d thought of an exit strategy”
- “It was easier to get out of the national guard”
- “Hey, at least I didn’t throw up like daddy”
- “I just heard Oprah’s going on Letterman”
- “I know how to solve this problem – – tax cuts for the rich”
- “I hope this doesn’t hurt my chances of getting reelected”
- “I need another five week vacation”
- “Talk to Condi about invading China”
–from November 21, 2005

You guys, this has got to be the best Washington Post online chat ever:
How To Survive A Robot Uprising
I kid you not. Go read.
that was hilarious…a definite must read!
It’s even better than the special section on exploding manholes that they had on the WaPo website a few years back. I just did a search and that appears to be gone now… such a loss for the community.
Scooter Libby even gets into the picture. Here’s a quote:
“Yes, bear rape is a very real threat to the American people. In my personal opinion, Scooter Libby is one the most important, leading bear-rape visionaries of this fine country.”
Too bad this administration wasn’t more visionary in other departments.
Diary whoring here…come over and see what Buy Blue has been up to getting ready for Blue Christmas 2005
Now – I’m going to think about that hamburger…from a Blue restuarant – definitely not fast food…they’re all red!
I’ll also be asking for a BooSwarm to the orange site between 2:00-2:30 pst if I can get my post to work there!
Thanks! I pronted the wallet sized list of shops!
and give them to friends!
I’m printing my copies on color inkjet – so I’ve got cool blue ones to pass around!
Us civil )or not so civil) servants have only black and white. 🙁
Works for me! lol
Remember compromise is okay – we need to live day to day…
Wal-Mart = MILLIONS in Red Dollars
Target = $200k +/- also Red
Millions vs couple hundred $k. I still shop at Target when I need some stuff…
And boy does it bite. I liked Target. They have nice stuff, pretty cheap, sometimes. But since they are supporting the bullshit pharmacists refusing to prescribe contraception, I just can’t.
They agreed to not shop at Wal-Mart…and their only other choice was Target…
I hate the lesser of two evils.
Yes, I definitely hate Target less than Wal-mart. I suppose if I was dying and needed a life-saving Diet Coke or something I’d buy it at Target. Maybe. Well, I’d have to think about it.
😉
I know that Operation Yellow Feather is there…let’s see if we can get two Tribber diaries up at once!

I have GOT to get some work done. Stop it you guys. Stop being funny and smart and interesting. Really. Enough of that, already. You would be doing me a big personal favor if you could manage JUST ONCE!! to be boring, humorless prigs. Please?
I’m leaving now. I really am. Watch me leave. I’m gone. Bye. See ya. Not sticking around. No way. Adios.
i’ll be lonely… 🙁
Your dog Man E?
What expressive eyes – can’t leave that one alone.
Oh, that is so not fair!
with a beebee gun 😀
Yes, it’s criminal but you’d know all about that, wouldn’t you?
BTW, how come we never get pictures of Lucy?
Moi? Bats eyelashes. (What a difference punctuation makes. Bats’ eyelashes.)
Lucy suffers from having a mom without a digital camera, not to mention having a mom who lacks all photographic talent as well as any ambition to learn how to post photos.
Wasn’t I leaving? If there is no new book a year from now, you can blame the Boo.
You should write a book about us. Just think of the different characters! I’ll be the whiny, pathetic, middle-aged mother and housewife who has a big mouth and lots of opinions, but lacks the nerve to voice them in person so she just blogs and writes letters to the editor.
secretly meets her lesbian lover for passionate sex after which she goes to upscale mall parking lots and blows up hummers, then continues her desperate search for her long lost family who were invited to dinner on July 17, 1997 but never showed up, and finally goes home just in time to clean the family room and to watch some nostalgic snail sex on TV.
Forget kansas, you should write the book. Darn, you make my life sound so interesting that I might actually like to live it.
I guess I should be honored that you gave me a lesbian human lover and not a slug with a giant penis.
Everything in there came straight from you (well, some of it came crookedly and involved Indy).
And I even left out the part where you and your siblings escaped the Village of the Damned before George Saunders thought of the brick wall so he could blow you up.
Everything that involves me comes crookedly, and that’s all I’m gonna say about that.
(Loved that post, Andi; it caused me to do an actual spit-take.)
Everyone who has had to suffer a trip to the grocery store should be rewarded with a spit-take.
Puh – what a busy morning!
Too much work piled up here and now I see that you guys are ready to feather the chickenhawks again. Good goin’.
thank you so much for your support at the various sites, it’s been neat to see the different communities in action. Each site truly has a different set of people and tone, it’s an anthropologists dream-come-true! (IANAA)
Well, it was almost a full-time job just keeping up with the various entries/sites – your fingers must have gone numb…
Will try to follow today again at least for ‘recos’, but I have a crazy day. You guys rock!
and I’ve got bare trees against cloudy skies. And the first decent panorama I’ve taken with my new camera.
This is today. The fog which has persisted for almost a week was so thick this morning that left turns were dangerous when I ran Puget4 to her Away Job.
Hey, I got to driving around a little bit today and wound up driving up Snowbowl Road, so I took my first panorama for you at somewhere around 9000 feet:
Thanks. I really like panorama shots and I really like Flagstaff. So doubly good.
And I’m glad you felt good enough to do a little gallivanting.
Sailors speak about wind and water. In Puget Sound, there often isn’t much difference!
Bzzzzzzz

Finally Found ya guys!
Who knew: Some people are actually “allergic” to poison oak. (which is also why they can’t give me injections right now for some odd reason as I might be allergic to it also.)
In my 37 years on this planet I have yet to come in contact with such things as poison oak, ivy or other ickies and it freakin’ turns out I’m extremely allergic to the sh!t.
So – I had an “acute and systemic reaction”. Translation: it’s all over my body. Face, neck and hands are the worst areas and are more like burns. Got some heavy-duty topical stuff for those areas.
On “industrial-strength” steroids – so I’m thinking of running for Governor…
Other than that – I’m okay and I’m supposed to get some rest (because this itching stuff drives you insane) however the prednisone stuff will give you insomnia… guhhhreat. Time to go apply this nasty stingy crap to my face and “bad spots” – if you hear screaming… that’s me “healing”.
One of my boys gets poison ivy any time he’s within 100 feet of the stuff, and blows up everywhere, just like you did. It’s maddeningly itchy. Seems the more he is exposed the more sensitive he gets. And he’s got a father (my ex) who thinks he’s Davy Crockett, so he’s always taking them into the woods.
Happy healing!
after you’ve been in the woods works spectacularly well — Jim is very sensitive to poison ivy and used to get it all the time but since he heard about using alcohol and starting doing it, he hasn’t had any — apparently it takes about 24 hours for the chemical to affect you and the rubbing alcohol neutralizes it.
We’ve started to do that the past couple of years. We used to think he’d not gone anywhere near the woods so why bother? Then he got it after attending a baseball game at the park and never leaving the bleachers!
PS I passed your diary link on to some friends. Those bastards can’t get our children.
As to the allergic reaction. I thought everyone was “allergic” to poison oak/ivy. She said my eyes will swell shut soon. “Not to worry”. Uhhhh okay. LOL
face, scalp and hands are really the nasty parts. Have this stuff called Sarna to apply to it. Stings like a mofo but then gets all tingly and feels OBE-ish after a bit.
The rest of my body looks like measles. The shit is everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Even on the sides of my toesies.
Wayne got me a pumpkin pie AND cheesecake for T-day 🙂 and a nice spiral ham that I just basically have to re=heat.
Oooh, give him a kiss for me because I just had an almost-orgasm just from thinking about cheesecake and spiral sliced ham!
Colin said to me the other day “Mom, I liked it better when you were depressed. We had cheesecake all the time.”
a shoe in the head (nobody was fast enough to outrun my mom’s throwing arm).
I smacked him upside the head and then shoved his head into my armpit. Does that count?
But then I cracked up because he was absolutely right. Nothing makes you forget how shitty your life is and how crappy you feel like a big slice (or 4 or 5) of cheesecake.
when I was a kid i got into poison oak and had a huge reaction — 47 years later I still remember how awful the itching and pain were (so there you’ll be, 101 years old, your memory completely gone but saying to anyone who will listen “remember that time I had poison oak”).
Not the same thing at all – but your comment sparked this memory.
When we were in college, my wife took care of a couple adorable kids – one of whom got chicken box.
He itched. He scratched one open and got a bandaid. A couple hours later he says “I want another bandaid” – she says “which one needs a bandaid”
ALL OF THEM! 🙁 he says.
poor little guy….
I had them everywhere and the worst place was inside my ears. They itched like mad but I couldn’t get at them.
oooooooooh
that sounds VERY unpleasant.
I’m sorry
um…. would a band-aide help?
🙂
Hell, the way they’ve been playing will put anyone to sleep… 🙁
Got a reprieve from the “assume the position” at the gyn today 🙂 — he vetoed my PCP’s recommendation of the endometrial biopsy, at least for now; he wants an ultrasound to eliminate more common causes of my “female issues” like fibroids or polyps. So Dec. 2nd, I see my PCP for a physical in the morning, then at 5:15 have my ultrasound — inbetween, I have to drink about 5-6 glasses of water, finishing an hour before the test, and then NOT PEE till after the test. So we’ll see how things go…
Walked in the apartment and my bean soup smelled heavenly…it’s still got about 3 hours to go! Definitely looking forward to it…
I’m so glad you’re okay. The whole thing sounds ghastly, I hope you feel better soon.
Afternoon tribbers
look closely – there are 2 butterflies – both are on the main flower in the photo.
Ooh, pretty. But I’m over 40 and can’t see the other butterfly. Is he sitting there with his wings closed to the lower right of the Monarch?
you got him.
and you don’t look a day over 39 to me 😉
I’m blushing. This monitor makes me look younger.
there’s a fly or bumblebee to the lower right and the other butterfly (I think) is closed up and below the monarch’s right wing and above and slightly to the right of the bug.

and Steven D
all on the big orange rec’d list today!
Four of you!!!!!!
Now I can go lie down. I’m boooooooooshed. Not to be confused with the term “bushed”. ACK
🙂
I am tired!!!!!!!!! Is this the FBC? Which blog am I currently at? Who am I? What am I?
Don’t answer that.
You’re still a great host, ManE. Great food, funny jokes, cute doggie pix, we couldn’t ask for anything more.
now I have that song stuck in my head…I can’t remember from where, ah yes it was featured in Mr. Hollands Opus (one of my favorite movies) some type of showtune…
Thx Indy! Free drinks for all!
Don’t know Mr Hollands Opus but is the song you are thinking of “I’ve Got Rhythm”?
You guys have been super busy! I haven’t had a lot of time to post in the last couple of days, but I’ve been checking in regularly with Operation Yellow Feather … and rec’ing, rating and giving mojo when I get the chance. Awesome job guys. Really well done!
If anyone’s still up, just wanted to report that my bean soup was a smashing success. I will post the recipe in tomorrow’s Cafe; it’ll make a great change for when your family gets tired of turkey, and extra good if you’re going to be out and about at assorted holiday festivities next month…
