I think EVERYONE is so sick of these chattering imbeciles in the media
that attacking them, personally, no holds barred, when they pull some shit would be a good tactic for any candidate.

You can only be totally annoying for so long before a backlash.

2. I'm sick of LIVING at this point. This primary has gone on WAY too long....
...People are getting burnt out. We aren't going to have energized volunteers when we most need them: in the GE.

3. I'm afraid we won't have me if it's her
Not out of some sick revenge, simply because I can't make the case.

8. I won't be there, either, if it's Hillary. But it's gonna' be Obama,....
...and if we want our volunteers to be bright and perky, we have to bring this thing to a close now.

11. I've switched to HGTV
I've learned how to build a treehouse fort out of leftover wood from an old barn. And oh, the things you can do with a hot glue gun. Yeah! And I've also learned not to be afraid of color. Specifically paint. On the walls. Completely changes up the room.

12. LOL! Yeah, I know. My family runs from the room when I turn on that channel.
Did you know you could spend $1000 and make a room look like something in a fun house? And those people who have millions to spend on a home in Hawaii who cannot make up their minds about which property to buy...God the tragedy of it all. Not to mention the ones willing to spend a few more thousand on a foot or two more backyard for Fido. How stressful. I did like the bench made out of old ski's. Who would have thought faux walls and granite counter tops would do so much for...well...so much.

I'm impressed by how many colors of red people can paint on every surface. And I'm amazed every time they open a garage door and basically the entire contents spill out. They call it disorganization but I prefer to think of it as an ad for Hoarders Anonymous.

:)Yup, plenty of drama between them there sheets. The ones on the window that is.

7. Instead of a weather ticker banner below them or a dow jones
thingy, their IQ's should be posted below them so we know just why they say what they say and do what they do.

21. Once upon a time (when I was part of the greatest Mod Squad of all) ...
... we had the GREATEST gatekeepers imaginable. The best, by far, was MrsGrumpy. She was AWESOME ... tombstones often planted within a nanosecond of the troll hitting the 'Post' button. Some were so braindead obvious in the selection of their IDs that they barely got registered before they were taking a dirt nap. There were some eveings that they'd be planted every 5 minutes or so. (Sigh ... good times.)

24. Four seconds, two seconds per cry, but now you've
encouraged me to go play my favorite Neal Young song.

Peace to you, DearAbby
