Quote of the day
posted at 9:30 pm on June 28, 2009 by Allahpundit
“But, look, I just think that what we’ve been doing over the last six months is getting people back into fighting trim. This is a town where there was just a belief that nothing could get done… I’ll use just the workout metaphor, and that is, you know, when you start training again and you’re pushing your body a little bit harder, sometimes it hurts. But if you keep on at it, after a while your body adjusts. And I think that’s what’s happening to politics in Washington. Folks have been sitting on the couch for a while, and now they’re starting to feel like, hey, you know what, I can run. And that’s why we’re getting stuff done.”

Don’t ask and I won’t tell. :-)

I can tell by the sizzle.

You smoked a Yardbird?? which one???
doriangrey on June 28, 2009 at 10:56 PM
You thought wrong. Shamnesty was not at all a responsible way to deal with the immigration invasion or American solvency.
Dollayo on June 28, 2009 at 10:56 PM
wow… I’d love to join this thread but…. I’m presently sober.
carry on….

OK, Franzia will be reserved for trolls on Nov of 2012.
Upstater85 on June 28, 2009 at 10:57 PM
I agree…pork ribs and Uncle Jack and I’m not invited? Insult…
ladyingray on June 28, 2009 at 10:58 PM
Na, all we have to do is tell them everybody else is doing it…
doriangrey on June 28, 2009 at 10:58 PM
There was a book written about stealing elections.If we don’t do something now about ACORN and all the Democratic Secretary of States who helped steal many many votes for Obama then we are going to have a bloody civil war in this country. The Democrats are shameless and dishonest and cheat and steal elections we have got to stop this and now!
Another thing that someone posted is that we have to get the incumbents out…we need to run and support real conservatives. Sarah Palin coud get elected and then be impotent if we don’t also elect people who will support her (or another real conservative) 100%

That’s pretty good, but I’m definitely a Boston Lager man. ;)

Yes, in the spirit of Obama, why don’t you kill some brain cells, Katy… :)
Upstater85 on June 28, 2009 at 11:00 PM
Lady you have a standing invitation if you ever find yourself in east Texas.
conservnut on June 28, 2009 at 11:00 PM
Man! Did you really have to go there?
ladyingray on June 28, 2009 at 11:01 PM
Well. On one point that quote is accurate. The fight is definitely on and quite a few people are pissed that they have to take time out of their lives to deal with this nut case and his minions. It’s not like it’s even a good fight. My mother always told me: “Never get into a fight with a crazy person. People won’t be able to tell the difference.” It was good advice. But Mom never, on her worst day, could have imagined the bad crazy lunatic we call Mr. President these days.
BrideOfRove on June 28, 2009 at 11:01 PM
And in the beginning, there was Obama.
Got that all of you amoebas?

“Yes, we’re getting fit running off of cliffs and lifting rocks over our head which we subsequently drop on our feet.”
It’s great we’re told over and over again our president is brilliant, because otherwise we’d realize that he’s a complete idiot.
NoDonkey on June 28, 2009 at 11:02 PM
I like that as well…
ladyingray on June 28, 2009 at 11:02 PM
Ha, somehow I believe you are right.
conservnut on June 28, 2009 at 11:03 PM
That was my quote of the day, AP. Sorry.

Okay then…now I know and will be looking for info here and elsewhere from you…

99 percent of us comment on various blogs to vent. We vent with great emotion, but it translates to nothing more than an occasional vote for either one or the other face of the same corrupt political machine.
The political machine has become corrupt because we have become to exhausted earning our livings and living our lives to actually get involved in the larger aspects of running our lives.
doriangrey on June 28, 2009 at 11:05 PM
Upstater, you are 3 sh*ts to the wind tonight eh?
katy on June 28, 2009 at 11:05 PM
Huh?
I’m not drunk and I can’t even follow.

Did you hear about this? http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,311892,00.html
I never did hear what happened. I don’t think they dumped it.
That is bizarre.

txag92 on June 28, 2009 at 11:07 PM
skid stain in chief? I’m laughing really hard but where did that come from….
katy on June 28, 2009 at 11:07 PM
This guy just gets more repugnant by the day. Where was the media when George Bush actually tried to enact true meaningful reform of Social Security? He was shut down instantly by the media and the Dems. Now this joker comes along and pretends he is the only one to bring about change and “get things done.” Unfortunately his change means returning to the days of Jimmy Carter.
paraff on June 28, 2009 at 11:07 PM
I am very grateful to have a job again.
At a store that does alcohol
how ironic :p
blatantblue on June 28, 2009 at 11:08 PM
exactly….
katy on June 28, 2009 at 11:08 PM
Give it time….
katy on June 28, 2009 at 11:09 PM
Sigh…. Not me…. Had a couple of pints of Samuel Adams Boston Lager this afternoon with my crazy Indian friend, but had to stop drinking around 2pm, cause well… I got to work tomorrow and 4am arrives mighty early in the morning round about these parts…
doriangrey on June 28, 2009 at 11:09 PM
Well, what do you call it when there is a hmmm hmmm “mark” in your undies/panties?
Come on, we can all admit, Obama is the Skid Mark of America! We have so much better to offer.
Upstater85 on June 28, 2009 at 11:09 PM
And what exactly does that mean, altar boy?
ladyingray on June 28, 2009 at 11:10 PM
Or do you prefer HornetSting’s Pantywaste in Chief?
Upstater85 on June 28, 2009 at 11:10 PM
At least I didn’t have Funemployment under Carter. I just don’t remember things being THIS bad, even under Carter? I was fresh out of college, so is it rose-colored glasses, or am I right? At least the gas lines, and alternate days have not started yet.
sybilll on June 28, 2009 at 11:10 PM
My kind of gal!
conservnut on June 28, 2009 at 11:10 PM
I don’t like drinking too much
Getting a slight drunk on is good
but nothing more
blatantblue on June 28, 2009 at 11:11 PM

You should be able to get all the Jager you want!

That should be a hangin’ crime!
ladyingray on June 28, 2009 at 11:15 PM
See…always reasons to laugh.
pannw on June 28, 2009 at 11:15 PM
ROTFLMAO… I rarely ever touch distilled spirits, but even I was shocked by that story… Criminal doesnt even approach what it is.
doriangrey on June 28, 2009 at 11:15 PM
HA!
katy on June 28, 2009 at 11:15 PM
tomorrow is monday — not a good time to get blasted
But I will share a story the last time I threw up from drinking.
It was almost two years ago.
I was on campus at the GF’s place, and we were drinking with an old friend who graduated the year before — he was visiting.
It was around Halloween. We had lots of Halloween candy, and we were drinking in the apartment. I drank WAY too much too quickly (IDK how I lost track — generally I’m very good). Then I ate WAY too much chocolate candy.
An hour or two later, I tried marijuana for the first time in the parking lot outside, and almost got hit by a car doing 30 or so.
After playing frisbee and running into a parked car, I decided it was time to go to bed, but when I laid down, the room was spinning so hard. If I moved one centimeter, I felt like I was gonna puke
So I went to the bathroom to puke, but I couldn’t figure out how. I stood over the toilet, and said “Well, when I move, I want to hurl, so maybe I’ll headbang like I’m at a concert.” So I did, and I puked so hard and so much, Mother Mary would cry. Projectile too. MOAB style.
I felt so much better. Then my GF hurled, and my friend who hadn’t hurled from drinking in two years before that hurled as well. Hatrick!
Haven’t tried the mary jane since
blatantblue on June 28, 2009 at 11:15 PM
I’ve got to take my son out for a walk. Night all. Thanks for the laughs.
txag92 on June 28, 2009 at 11:16 PM
Moral of the story:
When you want to make yourself throw up, just stick your finger in your throat
Don’t headbang like a Metallica member while three nerdy kids watch you from a crack in the doorway
blatantblue on June 28, 2009 at 11:17 PM
Night tx
conservnut on June 28, 2009 at 11:17 PM
Good one. Aren’t our soldiers sharp!
katy on June 28, 2009 at 11:17 PM
And then he went and got ice cream.
Jim Treacher on June 28, 2009 at 11:18 PM
hope you have a good night, foxy
blatantblue on June 28, 2009 at 11:18 PM
c ya tx
katy on June 28, 2009 at 11:18 PM
Well sybilll, have we made you laugh yet?
conservnut on June 28, 2009 at 11:18 PM
Damn it… and I thought for sure the moral of the story was going to be…. Dont be an idiot and drink until you need to hurl or die trying… ;O
doriangrey on June 28, 2009 at 11:19 PM
foxy…. you tryin to butter me up young ‘un?
katy on June 28, 2009 at 11:19 PM
Tragic…scarred for life.
ladyingray on June 28, 2009 at 11:19 PM
Don’t need to butter up what I can have easily
blatantblue on June 28, 2009 at 11:20 PM
I was gonna say that…it’s what I always did in college…
ladyingray on June 28, 2009 at 11:21 PM
Cough cough… somebody has to keep the cougars purring…. ;p
doriangrey on June 28, 2009 at 11:21 PM
the next morning I asked myself “why didn’t i just put my finger down my throat?”
idk whatever, i was drunk as ballz — haven’t been that drunk since, and im glad
being that drunk is so stupid, and makes ya feel like hell
blatantblue on June 28, 2009 at 11:21 PM
oh BB….. my stomach hurts me now…:)
sleep tight pumpkin
katy on June 28, 2009 at 11:22 PM
OK, since we have to bring up John Kerry, starting in 2013, he’ll be the first to put his dainty lips to the Franzia… We’ll inject the box with some Heinz Ketchup so he can manage to keep drinking it down.
Upstater85 on June 28, 2009 at 11:22 PM
Oh, snap!
conservnut on June 28, 2009 at 11:23 PM
Heh who you callin cougar? He called me foxy and I’m stickin with it!
katy on June 28, 2009 at 11:23 PM
Gawk………… The mental image of that almost made me laugh myself to death… ;p
doriangrey on June 28, 2009 at 11:23 PM
Cya in a few :D
blatantblue on June 28, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Yeah, I figured out in college that I couldn’t live that way…
ladyingray on June 28, 2009 at 11:25 PM
And of course, strategically placed next to the spout will be one of Bo Obama’s steamers… That is an image that will help me sleep like a baby tonight.
Upstater85 on June 28, 2009 at 11:25 PM
wasn’t it little miss heinzy the lushite that drinks raisins soaked in gin for her arthritis?
katy on June 28, 2009 at 11:25 PM
Awful feeling
I’ve only thrown up twice from drinking
in four years — not a bad record, if I do say so myself
blatantblue on June 28, 2009 at 11:25 PM
So uh are we going to do something about ACORN and the Secs of State?
CCRWM on June 28, 2009 at 11:25 PM
