Not quite the disdain with which he would have said "Texas", I'll bet. ;)

You know, its the oddest thing, but its amazing how many Texans stubbornly refuse to recognize Spanish in any way. For instance, Austin (where I will go when I decide its time to party myself to death...) has a main drag, Guadalupe. The correct pronunciation is a lovely word, just the sound is a delight and it slides easily off the tongue. I'm damned if they don't insist on Gwad-a-loop! Yuck-o-rama!

....Sorry, that's my favorite nit to pick.

Its a shame that a whole darned country will misspell their own name.

I guess I shouldn't read anything into the the fact that Issa has been in congress for years and he has only thought of this now?

Your mistake is using the verb "thought" in relation to the compound proper noun "Darryl Issa". Never the twain shall meet.

This is the same guy who pushed the recall of Gray Davis as governor of California because he thought he could waltz right into Sacramento without serious challenge, then cried in public when Ahnold got the nod instead.

He's a weasel.

A really dumb weasel.

President Obama's being attacked for his choice of condiments. Condiments! I realize that Hannity is already a total loonball, but now he's being joined by other loonballs in a full-blown case of Dijon Derangement Syndrome.

This is just the break the McCain campaign was waiting for.

Bumping for this.


Other than just pitching a complete fit anytime Obama does anything, what do they hope to gain from this?

Besides, You would think they would be encouraging the President to see more plays.

Maybe you should check Biggirl's. ;)

Maybe that's one of many words that have different connotations and usages in different countries that use nominally the same language?

She's from New York. I'm not aware that that state uses Spanish as its first language, yet. :p

@ Frodo: you can check Guest locations by clicking on their name and selecting their profile from the pop-up menu. In the case of Biggirl, she says she is from New York. Not sure if she means the city, or upstate.
 
The Rowlings item is in the second link.

The award can be given for "contributions to culture," so I imagine the thinking behind giving it to JKR would be for getting kids to read.
 
Here you go: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/5410658/DHS-Report-on-Right-Wing-Extremism

I don't think it's a big secret that right-wing extremists go after veterans or anyone else with military training. I also don't think it's a secret that veterans lean right.

I've seen Oily Taint around a lot. Oily Titz is new to me. She really does look like Lady GaGa rode hard and put away wet.

Oily Taint is mine, in the sense that I came up with it myself, but I'm sure someone else came up with it independently before me.
 
We are talking about the same Zell Miller who was Lester Maddox' lieutenant governor, right?

I understand you're only stating a devil's advocate position, but if she wasn't elected, and she's not on the federal payroll, then federal oversight of her 'position' is really inappropriate.

The continuation of that train of thought is that if she is not elected, not on the Federal payroll, and has not been confirmed by the Senate, she should not be in charge of anything.
 
Sorry jayjay and Really Not All That Bright, those are nice, but you'll have to do better than that.

Now, of course, we could make a major dent in the Federal debt if we simply asked the people who elected the Honorable Ms. Blackburn to repay every penny put into T.V.A. since its inception -- with compound interest.

That was for flood control, along with rural electrification, right? Just like Katrina and tsunami relief.
Click to expand...
Yes, but wasn't the TVA mainly to benefit white people? In that case it's ok. Katrina mainly affected blacks, and the tsunami mainly affected browns, though I'm not quite sure why she mentioned something that concerned places like Thailand and Sri Lanka. A tsunami on either of our coasts would affect a lot of white people. Well, California doesn't matter, and neither does New York or New England, but lots of southern states (the REAL America) abut the Atlantic ocean.
 
The Mike Duvall trainwreck gets even uglier. Now he's saying that despite what he said, he's not cheating on his wife. And isn't cheating on his mistress, either. Which he doesn't have in the first place, because he's not having an affair.

And if you believe that, I have a copy of OJ's "If I Did It" to sell you.

And I think the same of Howard Dean, if there's any thought that I'm downplaying it only because it's the RNC. Dean had the 50-state strategy. He was instrumental in growing the Democratic majority and getting Obama elected. But he would have had no reason to confer with Bush, at all. Of course, Dean knew that and never pretended that Bush was snubbing him or something.

I'm trying to imagine Dr. Dean whining to a reporter that Bush was snubbing him and has a "thing" about him. It's way hard.
