Take care, P

49. bear, where have you been?
I have several internets now and keep finding more, almost like super string theory, are there 11 internets? Or, M-brane theory, are they all floating side by side?;)

56. I do believe all of the internets exist in a parallel universe
Kind of like us, I think.

I've been away in Tallahassee, unfortunately, breathing the same air as Dimson's brother. Although, I think government was out of session while I was there. Florida's government seems out of session (read: out of its mind) most of the time.

I met quite a few liberals there while I was cat/house sitting for my cousin. Nice town; nice people. I actually considered relocating there, but I'm staying put in Pompano Beach for the time being.

Hope you're feeling well and keep up the great work! P

She is quite simply too cool!!

9. Seems there is at least one person
who does not agree with you, check this out:

"One of the unfortunate by-products of the Bush presidency is that so very many people are convinced that just repeating "Dick Cheney", "undisclosed location", and "Hallibuton" makes them witty."

I can only assume that he read every 30th word or so.

Edited on Thu Jun-30-05 02:43 PM by lala_rawraw
The twits at the Cretin Uselessness are all upset because "what if it was a real attack?" nonsense...

my response from here to there and everything in between


Dear Morons:

I am a 9/11 person (meaning i lived, worked, and lost people at ground zero) and while your cheerleader and thief raped 9/11 half a dozen times during his last charade, I got to listen to my 9/11 friends lose their minds over the insult. So save me the lecture on ethics and national security. You cannot even bite your tongue long enough to learn the facts and to understand that I have more right to speak to "planes" flying around than you do sitting in your little club with the oh so original name... What you are, simply put, and quoted from my teenage crush years, as Bender said so well:

Sorta social, demented and sad, but social.


As always, the right wingnuts attack 9/11 victims as a show of of their misguided "patriotism".

15. Yep and that crap about them caring about Iraqis has gotta stop as well
Hint Repubs: There is no way you can care so immeasurably for a people when you unleash an historic onlsaught of terrorism on their homeland, on purpose because you were too chicken shit to fight them here.

Bunch of useless selfish cowards...

It was a pleasure to read. Nothing is more fun than seeing the bubble burst of the "liberal elitists" or, the "proudly ineffectual," as DU's PATRICK calls them....

28. You know, I lurve her too, but she never has me on
We could have such a great convo, call it the "bitching hour" or something like that... smokes are included of course. Not a clue though why Majority ignores me outright. Not that they need to recognize me, but they use our news enough, so I assume that means they like our work. Very odd, but J is still as sardonic as i like.

I want her back in movies, smoking, wearing black, and never smiling... damn it, is that too much to ask for?:D

35. They never really mention DU either and I'd think our crew is much more
likely to be listening than dKos or commondreams... maybe we should campaign to have you on... boy oh boy that could be fun!

Shit maybe you and Janeane could get close enough that Sam has you fill in for her! You'd be on all the time!

Seriously though, I can't believe you haven't at least contacted or been contacted by them...

Think they want to have anyone lobby them. Plus, as much as I would love to chat all day long (and trust me, I can chat all day long), I am 1 of 2 right now, needed at the mothership.

:rofl:

The Huffington Post is fortunate to have you join them! Looking forward to more Lala-posts there and will post a reply later today.

(LaLa has all of DU behind her, even when she thinks she has helmet-head! Wait a couple of seconds for the image to load and see for yourself!)

29. I think she looks something like Shirl, someone needs to tell Bartcop.
He's had an APB out for years.

Nice tone down job too. The point is to get folks to read it, not run shrieking into the bushes.

36. It's a compliment. Left-handed of course because I can't help it.
Go to www.bartcop.com

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and there you'll be on the left(of course). Feel free to read the page above the photo if you've the time, he's a friend of DU..just doesn't have our manners and patience.

53. yep...
We have brains and boobs, imagine that:)!!!

We need to pull all of our female thinkers together because the various feminist groups are too splintered. We need a new movement, but I am so not burning my bras.

You know, I was just thinking here at 5 AM that I have always wanted to be a knight (okay, so I love the grail legends). Instead of a round table, let's have the V table of 13 knight-maidens or something.

Who wants to join me in my quest for sanity? Or sleep, either one works.

:D
