Nice screen cap, but he was only wiping the snot from his nose. Shaking hands with him might be slightly better than shaking hands with Pelosi, God only knows where that gavel has been.
Edwards might be gross, but his supporters are idiots! They stood inches away from him, watching him fill his hand with slime and germs, and then they willingly held their hands out to shake his! These people should not be allowed to vote. They clearly have no understanding of cause and effect, and they will probably be completely surprised when they wake up sick in a couple of days. Just like if Edwards is somehow elected president, they will wake up a couple of years later completely surprised that the United States is severely ill and in need of a cure.
To prevent a sneeze coming on press your index finger firmly between your nose and your upper lip (below the divider of your nostrils and the very top of your upper lip, center).
Note to Pony – Kleenex prevents such loudness and boorisheness.
Someone needs to put the “STOP! Disease method of handwashing” poster in his bathroom.
Heh. We should all mail him copies of the bathroom handwashing instruction poster at his campaign headquarters. And hundreds of those little pocket tissue packs, too.
That’s disgusting. Perhaps Sheryl Crow has a square to spare for poor Silky Pony.
Ohhhhh!!! I get it now! He was being environmentally conscious by not using tissue! He must have already used his one tissue for the day and was far too conscientious to selfishly use another. What a great guy.
I know. I heard Dennis Hastert used to jerk off before going to vote *rollseyes*
How does one’s mind even think of saying something so stupid? I understand nonfactor is a far left wing vicious America hater but this is bizarre. What a sad and pathetic individual.
What was he talking about SS cap? I didn’t catch the question, but I’m not sure just what he was talking about. Did anyone catch that germ question?
Kini on June 18, 2007 at 9:16 PM
He was talking about a way for the federal government to “generate additional revenue”. As always with the leftists, Social Security is a two-way street for them, and you have to listen closely anytime they speak of it, or of “payroll taxes”, which really means SS.
Under current laws, Social Security is taxed on every dollar earned per year up to $96,000. Why is it capped? Easy, because those who earn more than that don’t need additional retirement benefits. That’s what SS is, isn’t it? A forced savings program because people are too stupid to put away for their own retirement, so the government has to do it for them? That’s why there’s no floor, it’s paid off the first dollar you earn, and every dollar until you hit that cap of 96k.
So when speaking of taking care of your retirement, the leftist will refer to SS as a pension. But when speaking about government revenue, they will refer to it as a contribution. The leftists moan and wail that the rich only pay into it from their first 96K of earnings, while the poor pay into it from EVERY dollar. They do this hoping that you aren’t remembering that it’s supposed to be a savings account for your later years, not REAL TAXES.

nonfactor was merely turning around the earlier joke about Pelosi and the suggestively shaped and sized gavel handle, which was not quite as lame because 1) it was original, 2) it highlighted Pelosi’s demonstrated lust for the gavel and the power it represents, and 3) it implied direct contact instead of a potential cross-contamination. (Because for all we know, Hastert may have washed his hands before touching the gavel.)

OT (forgive me) but this pressure point also cures Charlie Horses. If you wake up with one of those awful nighttime leg cramps, press this spot (the goal is to apply pressure to the gum between your front teeth). Press it hard until the Charlie Horse goes away. Works like magic.

Huh…does it work on the ones you get in your throat due to yawning too widely? That’s a worse feeling than anything but a trauma to the groin.
Totally serious…it twists the muscles directly behind your chin into a huge knot that doesn’t go away for a good 10 minutes, and you can’t really stretch to relieve it like you can with your legs because stretching was what caused it in the first place. If you haven’t had one, you may not be susceptible to them, and should count yourself lucky.
Maybe I can help by suggesting a way to suppress the urge to yawn. Yawns are triggered by a need for oxygen, so when you feel one coming on, try really deep breathing. And by deep, I mean bottoming out the diaphragm and filling the lower lungs, not just the upper lungs. There are two secrets I know of to get a breath deep enough.
1. When you inhale, concentrate on expanding the ribs in your back, not your chest.
2. If you happen to be standing up, concentrate on the soles of your feet. When you inhale, try to draw that breath all the way down to the soles of your feet.
Incidentally, I teach technique #2 to my grandkids out on the range. Gets rid of nervousness and silliness, gets them focused in on verbal instructions, and really helps with the aim.

From ‘Silky’ to Slimy

He feels the other America should be privileged to be slimed with his snot.
Ya know…”booger” and “goober” have the same letters.

Plus he wipes it on the lapel of his jacket. Any body with a clue knows you wipe it inside your front pants pocket. Tool.
