Welcome to DU, Digital Puppy!

Glad you're here! GREAT point you make! Made me laugh out loud! He wasn't talking to an empty chair, but he was talking about more than a few empty heads (and hearts).

Shit - every time I see a photo of this fellow, I'm totally distracted by the

white fuzzy testicles hanging on his chin.

I'm sorry. I apologize. I just can't get past those crazy whiskers...

Welcome to DU, hourglass1!

Good to have you with us. This is just riveting, isn't it? Such a personal journey, and it's an honor to be invited to witness it. Another reason why I love DU. It offers so much more beyond just an opportunity to share and vent about politics. There's other stuff here, too, to round everything out. And feed the soul.

Welcome to DU, abhishekbt!

Glad you're here. We're all touched. This photos kind of allow the viewer to sit and join in and help keep the vigil, don't they?

Sobering. Really brings it home. One dreads that empty-bed photo. Reminds me of the call I got telling me my mom had finally succumbed (to all kinds of nasty shit that sickened her. Ironically, cancer was about the only thing she didn't have). Walking down the hall on her floor of the hospital, you'd pass by door after door after door, all of them open at least partially, where you can always kinda peek inside as you pass and see there's somebody in there, and maybe a nurse or a visitor or somebody, even silhouettes of somebody that are visible when the curtains are drawn in front of them. That particular night, I noticed that, unlike all the others, and after countless hospitalizations she'd had in the last two or three years of her life, the door to her room was now closed. For the first time ever. Just that one little detail can be rather devastating. Even when you're kinda expecting it.

Every time I read something new from Charles P. Pierce, I find I love him just a wee bit more!

I'll have ted cruz's political balls - on a plate. Nicely poached. With a nice sharp knife. So I can cut it into bite-size dog treats for my dog.

I regret only that I was not the first to recommend this.

They're saying what we're ALL saying! Sit down and SHUT UP, ASSHOLE!!!

I threw in the "ASSHOLE" at the end, just for good measure. That one's from ME, ted. ASSHOLE!

FUCK 'em.

I'm sorry. I'm sick of these assholes. Don't care. Not a bit interested in anything they want. Not listening. Besides, I know plenty-enough about what they do want to turn myself into a one-woman Party of No. Just FUCK 'em.

Welcome to DU, Francois Jeopardy! And Congressman Grayson, WE LOVE YOU!!!

Glad you're here, Francois Jeopardy! GREAT thread! He deserves support. Alan Grayson certainly speaks for me!!! I'm proud to have contributed to his campaign, and I'll continue to do so.

I stand firmly with you, rurallib! And with you, too, rbrnmw!

Hope things are better for you! Remember - someone's ALWAYS here!

Oh boo-hoo, assholes. Taste of your own medicine, I see. How do you like it?

Reap what you sow, assholes! Alan Grayson is merely verbalizing what MILLIONS of us feel - and know to be completely true. Those are the FACTS. You're NO mild-mannered, well-intentioned patriots - not in a brazillion years! You disgraceful racists and anti-Christians deserve every problem and "siege" you're getting. Get over it.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
