Darn! It locks up on me right at “doesn’t neeeed a point of view”. I’ll have to try playing it directly from You Tube. Very funny! You should send that link out via twitter AKM. It certainly deserves more views.
Well , it’s official. Ski country of Western New York has its first snow warning of the season. 4-6 inches possible. Unfortunately, the trees still have a lot of leaves so that could mean trouble.
And, speaking of troubling – The wing nut world is getting nuttier and scarier by the day – perhaps even by the hour. A NC Baptist Church is holding a good old fashioned Halloween book burning:
Ya gotta wonder what’s going on within the nuttery ranks though. They’re not only burning versions of the bible that they don’t care for along with the works of Mother Theresa and the Pope, but they’re also lobbing in books by Sarah’s big fan, James Dobson, as well as “heretic” Billy Graham. Well now I’m just all sorts of confused! Do they even know who and what they’re against anymore ? Maybe they should write these things down so they don’t end up just willy nilly setting each other aflame as they’re caught up in the frenzy of God’s work. This sort of thing should be organized and efficient.
Oh, and to top it off nicely, it’s not jista book burnin’, you betcha. There’ll also be a scrumdillyicious chicken bbq with all the fixins. Cleansing the world of Satan sure does work up an appetite!
There was a good link posted yesterday by a fan from CA that might be of help and a couple of her/his comments. If you don’t find what you need at that one, try googling. But I expect someone on here is much more tech-savvy than I and would be able to offer more help.

Wow – I just got caught up with yesterday’s comments. That’s what I get for trying to do my desk work. I miss all kinds of stuff!
Claw Washout Palin – I see you already posted the book burning link on yesterday’s open thread. Sorry for the repost! I’ve been wondering though … do you sing at a book burning?
And Justa, dropped you a PM.
GG2B – I’m hoping the same for ski country. Some years are fairly dismal and that’s too bad. We have some truly gorgeous ski areas and people come from all over. We’re always happy for the southern tier folks when we have good snow years. (But we’re also quite happy for them to keep most of the snow all to themselves !)
Added a number of links to right wing news over at my twitter acct for those who are following : http://www.twitter.com/palintruthwatch You don’t need a twitter acct to view them. Some useful stuff has been coming through the past days.
That video is amazing! I’ve done a bit of video work in a prior life, and I know that it involves much, much more work than one initially assumes, so hats off to Bill Oliver and his gang for that fantastic little video.
I did some Googling, and have found this page http://www.vtcommons.org/audio?page=5 where there is a high-quality MP3 version of the song available for download.
Too bad the YouTube video didn’t get the recognition that it deserved when it was first posted. It should definitely be spread around to everyone you know and love.
Rennie
PS. I also found the lyrics posted on an unrelated forum page:
Nowhere Ma’am
(Lennon, McCartney, Oliver)
Bill Oliver and the Anti Moose-Burger Defamation League
She’s a bridge to nowhere ma’am
Sitting in her snow-capped land
Making all her so-called plans, for everybody
She’s a mom as you can see
Men and moose fall to their knees
Blood and guts and special needs for the GOP
Nowhere ma’am, admit it
You were for it before you were ag’in it
Nowhere ma’am, those federal funds flow thru you hands
She’s the anti-Hillary
Has her own ar-tillery
Wants more offshore drill-ery than Hillary (“drill, baby, drill”)
Nowhere ma’am, please listen
To Karl Rove, god bless ‘im
Nowhere ma’am, the free world is at your command
Doesn’t need a point of view
Teleprompter prompting you
What works for them works for you and you know who
It’s the campaign’s sexy merger:
Beer money meets mooseburger
But it’s still war and it’s still murder and oil money (“don’t forget that”)
Nowhere ma’am, it’s still a
Case of earmarks up the Wasilla
Nowhere ma’am, the lipstick is smeared, but it’s still a ham
She’s a bridge to nowhere ma’am
Queen in her Denali land
Making all her so-called plans for somebody
Trying on the power pants of Dick Cheney (“it’s not pretty”)
Pretty peppy puppetry for the GOP
Trigger fingers on the bombs of destiny (“that’s scaring me”)
I wouldn’t wish that policy on nobody
and buffgal…dont be that happy for us down here in southern tier for snow…maybe at the ski resorts…but not here, at least not before my furnace gets installed
B/G – Great links you have posted at Twitter! I’m glad I can follow it there as I’m not on Twitter. I saw that one of the Frank Schaeffer interview and I think he’s right en pointe with his feelings. Glenn Beck is an absolute danger and I can’t believe nothing can be done about him. Problem is, if any action was taken by the government, it would validate to his crazy followers that he was right and the *gestapo* is at work as he predicted.
Judi @7 Whereabouts are you in the southern tier? I promise, I’ll wish really hard for the snow to hold off until your furnace is installed!
I am sorely behind on keeping up with the comments so apologies if this is a repost. But, c’mon – The face of $P cut as a maze in to a corn field? How could I not post:
Oh. My. God.
That was awesome. My daughter was dancing to it. My little democrat in training.
I loved the pig, and they were putting lipstick on it, come on. It doesnt get better than that.
HAHAHAHA
B/G – Worked at our local corn maze for years each Halloween, and I can’t imagine had it been Palin! Amazing how many of the commenters really think she’s the cat’s meow and could run this country!
Morning Joe went on and on ad nauseum over Limbaugh being rejected for owning a team – placed most of the blame on Al Sharpton. Don’t they think anyone else in the NFL had any impact?
Heard any interesting (but delusional) statement regarding the Dow going over 10,000 yesterday – they termed it “Bush’s Recovery”……….because the first stimulus went out while Bush was still President. So much for the rightwingers saying the stimulus WASN’T working! Is that flawed logic or what?
AKM-
Wonderful!
Wish we’d had it last fall… also, too. We needed the chuckles… we REALLY needed the chuckles.
A trip down memory lane… another sane voice, from a year ago…
http://www.salem-news.com/articles/october152008/ramey_oped_10-15-08.php
“Sarah Palin has been on the political stump now all of seven weeks, arriving as a gift from heaven with few of the attributes of a seasoned politician, but possessed of charms that, if you aren’t sure what they are, you’re still likely to believe she has ‘em.”
Thank you AKM for sharing this. What a great way to start my day! I needed a laugh after reading she will be in Texas to help Perry run for re-election! (although Meg-a-mouth won’t confirm) AND, that she will be doing a book tour….I just can’t see how that’s gonna work out for her unless it’s limited to Fix News only.
Between the cow yesterday and this today you have decidedly made my week a little more fun. Thanks again.
It never ceases to amaze me how creative other people are.
Should have sung,
Doesn’t need a point of view, Face Book A OK for you.
This is absolutely perfect for future campaigns !!!
The flying pig was a touch of genius!
If she is going to Texas to help Perry, does that mean she is palling around with a murderer? A murderer of an innocent man, who is now trying to cover it up. Any bets she wont show? Thats all she needs while trying to sell that comic book of hers.
I tweeted the link to the video, it was to good not to.
Im lexky_dem4life on twitter if anyone wants to follow.
im addicted to it….
Michigander, I forgot all about this. A person can buy antibiotics from a vet supply or pet store. I used to mix up my own sick puppy ‘drinks’ and give penicillin shots to the mamma dogs after birthing. Just bes sure to check into dosing. I know rural folks around here have used the powered antibiotic for fish and chickens. Medical vet books explain the different names and additional info.
One time we even purchased tanks of oxygen for a litter with pneumonia, but with a vets prescription.
here is a link with some ideas…….(ethnic markets also carry antibiotics).
That was a real tribute; maybe they (the bridge to nowhere runners) can use this as their annual theme song. Would be nice to perform live!! Have participants from all-over and donate funds to charity; of their chose
Even as far back as last year; Palin, Rove and Cheney have been connected. What a threesome.
I know it’s early for a tree fort moment but if anyone’s up for it, I’ll be there for a few minutes. (11:20 EST) Have something to get feedback on. Thankee !
Wow, not only is she not going with her famous misquote of Madeleine Albright’s quote “There’s a place in hell reserved for women who don’t support other women”(Albright’s actual quote was “help” not “support”) by supporting “goodhair” instead of KBH. She’s also supporting someone who was either too lazy or found it not politically advantageous to intervene in the execution of a man that most likely was innocent. In addition to being a birdbrain she also consistently lacks judgement. Let’s see, should I go give a little speech at the Reagan library to repub women or should I fly half way around the world to give a speech about something I know absolutely nothing about?
OMG, I just watched the video. LOL, I love it! And yes, how did we not see it before? They did a great job, clap clap clap.Tahee, pass it around folks. Get it viral………
“Tryin’ on Dick Cheney’s Power Pants…” — That lyric is just so perfect! beth.
(But now the “Nowhere Ma’am” tune is going to be my earworm until replaced by some other equally catchy and mindlessly-incessant song. It could be worse, though, I could have [dare I even mention it for fear of having it return to earworm me?] “Put the lime in the coconut…” earworming me, still. Oh, no! Now I’ve got dueling earworms………Aiiiiiiiiii!)
That was awesome..and as prev. mentioned..you need to see it a number of times..in order to..Catch..the numerous ‘bits’..indeed..enough ..naughtyness..to enjoy all day.
This GOP mom LOVED it! I’m posting it now on some of the right nut jobs blogs now. They’ll have kittens over this one! I LOVE it, and cant’ wait for Gryph to expose this bimbo.
I don’t support Palin not because she’s a woman (as I am), but because she’s dangerous and unqualifed for any office above moose catcher.
I have been seeing the Levi/Tank commercial on TV here… every time I do, I snicker at the slap in the face to $P that is… he’s on TV, making money every time that thing airs, good face time, and she’s wandering the planet trying to stir up a name for her stupidity.
That kid is charmed. He might not feel like it, but he is.
That one was also hilarious! There are some might clever people out there. Can’t wait for the next goodies from flyinureye and lynnrockets.
Several of the places to find pet antiobiotics in the southeast are Tractor Supply, Southern States, and Rural King. Along with antibiotics, we can get all the immunizations for cats and dogs, with the exception of the rabies shots. You can even get intravenous fluids at some of them. One of my Chihuahuas was puny and sickly from birth and has respiratory problems. The vet recommended that I use my human nebulizer with albuterol (at a distance of about 1 foot from his face) when he is in distress.
It’s a wet cold day here. I’ve been out skipping around reading many comments this morning
These are two that made me laugh
One said they should call her new org. Lie down for bucks.
Another said “She’s so crooked she has to screw her shoes on.
Keep them coming.
Poor Rush! He won’t just go quietly into the night.
Courtesy of Gryphen’s website, here is Rush’s latest statement, blaming us *libruls*: Just another scare tactic from another nut.
According to an account by ESPN, Limbaugh said on air Wednesday: “This is not about the NFL. It’s not about the St. Louis Rams. It’s not about me. This is about the ongoing effort by the left in this country, wherever you find them, in the media, the Democratic party, or wherever, to destroy conservatism, to prevent the mainstreaming of anyone who is prominent as a conservative. Therefore, this is about the future of the United States of America and what kind of country we’re going to have.”
Maybe R.H is trying to ‘ stir the pot ‘ a little… again.
If I posted the link I would have to be posting it as satire or sarcasm myself.
Somebody has reviewed a Book ( in their own mind I guess? ) that they have never seen and is not even out yet but they know what is IN it…? Remarkable!
I guess you need a VIVID imagination to do THAT.
SNL’s Seth and Amy would say ” Ohh REALLY? ”
“Flawless, lucid, flowing language pours from each page in the Governor’s stunning rags-to-riches account of her remarkable life. As a prose stylist, clearly she has few peers.”
” Flawless, lucid, flowing language “….Hmm?
Obviously this Mr. Larson never saw the Quitter speech by the Lake.
The Jokes write themself…. just like Michael Steele of yesterday. Too funny.
I still want to see how she ‘ slays a salmon ‘ though.
Wow I just read about Linda’s ( Diva’s Blue Oasis ) ordeal with trying to get the e-mails she requested and paid to receive…this state needs a complete ethics over haul !
@54 BuffaloGal – Hot dang, you did it! How clever of you! I can just see those hair extensions go flying when $P starts pulling her hair out over this. Good job! You have done a great job and I enjoy reading and learning from you. Be sure to let us know when you update or add to it, okay?
It’s satire, of the highest order. Larsen himself admits in the last sentence he wrote all this without reading her book. Read it again, keep in mind he is making fun of her, and you will really enjoy the piece!
It seems Quittypants is headed for Texass to campaign for Gov. Good Hair. Here is my buddy Susan’s take on it from Kissmybigbluebutt. She and other Texas Democrats are stocking up on popcorn and adult beverages to watch the fun as the Gov and Kay Bailey Hutchinson get ready to go at it in the political ringie dingie.
Charles R. Larson is Professor of Literature at American University, in Washington, D.C.
Disclaimer: The review was written before he read the book.
This was my favorite part:
What a pleasure to read a writer who can quote Nietzsche, Foucault, Derrida, and Reinhold Niebuhr with such ease and apply their wisdom to her own life. I suspect that this book will soon be taught in American schools alongside the works of Benjamin Franklin, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Henry David Thoreau, other classic accounts of what it means to be an American.
RE: Going Rogue review – It is possible that Mr. Larson was one of those who acquired an advance copy and has actually read it, were it not for his disclaimer at the end of the article.
Referencing this statement of his: “As a prose stylist, clearly she has few peers. William Safire immediately comes to mind but also Carlyle and Addison and Steele. ” – well, the style ought to be fairly decent, given that Lynn Vincent was her ghostwriter, so the praise should be going to Ms. Vincent, no Ms. Palin. Even though Ms. Vincent may be a good writer, I think it is a bit of a stretch to place her in the same category with Safire, Carlyle, Addison, and Steele.
Another of his comments: “More startling— is the speed with which Governor Palin wrote her autobiography, which can only be the product of the well-organized mind of a genuinely talented writer. ” Good grief, Mr. Lawson must not have EVER heard or read any of her earlier speeches that she actually wrote. He’s another who can’t seem to understand she should be referred to as ex-Governor or former governor. Not having completed her term of office due to her own choice of quitting, does not entitle her to use the term, such as Governor Howard Dean is entitled to.
I certainly have to chuckle at her having a “well-organized mind” – spare me! As to the speed with which she completed it, one shouldn’t be surprised if all she had to do was rattle off her random and scatter-brained thoughts for Lynn Vincent to pull together. She also undoubtedly started on the book well before her resignation. Wasn’t there some question about her not being able to be involved in publishing a book and still hold her governorship?
As to the publication date being pushed up – Murdoch probably thought he had a cash-cow and political-puppet when he first signed her up, then discovered she isn’t quite up to snuff and wanted to cash in on what few sales could be made before all the other books about her came out, and before further troubles fall on her head.
“raised in the outbacks of Alaska”……… When I hear “outback”, I think of Australia, or at least the Delta region of Alaska. Can the area around Anchorage and Wasilla truly be called the outback?
I nearly spit out my coffee as I read this line about her “university years”: “At each university, I sought out the finest minds, the most demanding professors in order to probe their intellects for decoding the major philosophical questions that mankind has been concerned with since time immemorial.”
Those words did NOT come out of Palin’s mouth! Also, she went to two COLLEGES and two universities – not to demean colleges, but there is a bit of a difference, isn’t there?
“Once she had taken courses from the most distinguished professors at an institution, then she moved on to another university where the process would begin all over again.”
Who’s leg does she think she’s pulling with this?
On hunting: “How can one not be thrilled by scoping with one’s rifle bear, caribou, crocodiles?” she asks.
CROCODILES IN ALASKA? What happened to all the moose (meese) and wolves that she shoots?
What poll was she looking at when she referred to this?
“Governor Palin is fully cognizant of Americans’ desire that she be the next President of the United States.”
I would love to hear how current residents of Alaska respond to this gem: “Governor Palin writes that her decision not to serve her full term as the governor of Alaska was prompted by her realization that she had already accomplished all that was needed for the state. There was nothing left for her to do.”
OMG! “More startlingly, she states that if elected President of the United States, she will probably not serve the full eight years. “If I can do for my country as a whole what I did for Alaska in less than a full term, why would I want to stay in the position for such a lengthy time? To stay longer would be a waste of my talents. I’ll move on to something more challenging—the United Nations, for example, or even the Supreme Court—places where I have long realized I can contribute even more.”
Charles Larson is behind one of the numerous movements to impeach President Obama. Here is one of the statements from that insane article:
Obama’s appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” an utterly frivolous event, so insignificant that not one American even watched the show, resulting in the network’s poorest ratings in more than a decade. So outraged was Arizona’s Senator Jon Kyl (R) when he learned about the scheduled broadcast that he ordered the President to cancel his appearance and address the AIG controversy instead.
I beg to differ – there were millions of Americans who watched the show and ratings went through the roof. And who is JUNIOR Senator Kyl to ORDER the POTUS to do anything.
Bottom line – Larson is a retired Navy Admiral and if I didn’t know better I’d think he was writing satire.
Yup Ryan – you got us going, but in a humorous way!
I personally take it as a compliment to be called a Pollyanna.
Pollyanna Principle – bias towards the positive.
Yup again, that’s me, I’d rather think positive and find something good in each minute of the day.
Okay Ryan – You got me! I initially thought it was satire, then I looked at titles and reviews from his other writings and they were serious pieces. In reading his bio, it stated he was a Democrat and I was trying to reconcile his pro-Palin/anti-Obama stance in my mind. All the other smarties on this forum caught on quicker than I, whilst I was off reading and writing and not paying attention to new posts! However, it surely helped me to pass a long and dreary afternoon with the rain beating on the windows. Only problem is I got so wrapped up in this issue that I forgot the brownies in the oven and they are good for nothing but chicken feed now. lol
Gramiam@67, I followed the link and read the linked article from CNN.
This gem is about 2/3 of the way down.
“”She will be coming here to campaign sometime after the first of the year once she is done with her book tour,” said Perry spokesman Mark Miner.
Palin’s spokesman Meg Stapleton did not respond to inquiries seeking to confirm the visit.”
Excellent! This means there is every chance she won’t show up!
I wonder if her ‘agent’ will negotiate a price for her services to the Texas Gov.? I wonder if her contract rider will specify lodging only at five-star hotels? Only red and blue M&Ms in the candy bowl in the Green Rooms? A mini-fridge stocked with diet Dr. Pepper and champaign? Wonder if she’ll unbag and don some of the RNC campaign clothing from last year?
I can hardly wait … oh, yeah, I really can. After all, we gotta get ourselves through her book release next month and this apparent ‘tour’ first. I really hope she is not scheduled to be anywhere near Miami, but then, I can’t imagine the people here in So. Fla. being particularly interested in her book. (Actually, I can’t imagine ANYONE being interested in her book).
Check this one out, a Davie Crockett song but with Sarah lyrics:
by Ms_enza October 15, 2009 3:28 PM EDT
Sar…ah… Sarah Palin, Queen of the Wild Frontier.
Born in a bungalow down in Idaho
Land of bigots and the low potato(e)
Raised in the woods so’d she know’d ev’ry tree
Moved to Alaska when she was only three,
Sar…ah… Sarah Palin, Queen of the Wild Frontier.
She went off to Juneau and served a spell
Cookin’ up the books and her house as well (wink, wink…)
Took over Anchorage, so I heard tell
And she raised her perdiem so’d she live quite well
Sar…ah… Sarah Palin, seeing Russia clear
#73 GreatGranny2B, Yep since it’s in Colorado I’m following it. I hope it’s a hoax instead of the other possibility. The parents saw the videos as the media got involved & didn’t mention that part of the balloon, like the basket, was missing? It’s all very strange, the parents are storm chasers and have also appeared on some reality show, swap my wife or some such foolishness. Like I said, I hope it was a hoax for attention or that the little boy is hiding…They’re now searching a mile swath downwind from the house where the balloon initially took off.
book tour? i don’t think so. girl can’t even do a press conference without killing a turkey or sounding like a whiner………..but actually answering quick questions and cowtow to on and off quick scheduling for tv? nah. ain’t gonna happen in a wasillion years.
easier to just let the megachurch boys sell ‘em for her on sunday. dontcha know.
jc in colo —– that balloon ride was really mind-blowing and then NO KID.
did you see the kiddo’s youtube video? definitely a prankster. my money is on the “kid hiding in the barn while parents go nuts looking for him”.
the bill is gonna be steep for the parents. helicopter, ambulances, cops…
the best case scenario is the kid is hiding somewhere……….cause if there really was a basket that came off or he fell out — well, that would be incredibly sad.
It’s raining cats & dogs here in Northern Ca for the second day & I am not a fan of rain. I was reading Margaret Truman’s book, First Ladies…An Intimate Group Portrait of White House Wives, she is a very entertaining writer & had FDR on PBS on the teevee & wondered how in the hell we have people of Quitty’s ilk that we even have to worry about at this time in history.
Mudpups………before anyone ever orders a free trial of something for just the shipping cost or $3.95 or whatever, do it this way so you don’t get scammed and so you save yourself a lot of aggravation. Always be careful ordering these type offers. They all do the same thing.
Our daughter learned the hard way, sigh. It happens.
This person on a complaint board explains a perfect way to protect yourself if you really want to try the product…………I thought it was pretty smart, lol.
“I ordered the acai berry detox but i used an old prepaid card and just put enough money on the card to cover the shipping cost that the company was asking…good luck to them if they try to charge my card.”
Discover and Bank of America have agreed to freeze their interest rates until the new law goes into affect in Feb…….but what out for others. Chase has no plans of freezing their rates.
Credit Card Companies Hiking Rates Before 2010 Changes
“Consumers who have a credit card outside of Discover and Bank of America are encouraged to stay on top of their monthly statements and continue to analyze them for any changes that are being made. Budgeting for a higher credit card payment may be a good idea even if an increase does not go into effect in order to pay the card off faster. Even consumers who have an excellent credit and payment history with a card company may be subjected to rate hikes, penalties, and doubled monthly minimum payments.”
SayNo @81:
Discover & BoA did freeze rates on my accounts. BoA also lowered the minimum payment.
Chase, OTOH, more than doubled my interest rate for no other reason than because they could, so I called to “opt out”, thus keeping my 8% interest rate and closing the account. Way to run a business and keep customers. Idiots.
JustaFarmer, If I had ANY charges with Chase I’d be transferring them to Discover or Bank of American, lickity split.
GG2b, I made an incubator box for our wee 3 week old pups out of a clear plastic storage container, oxygen in one hole, with an air hole out the other side, we’d lift the lid to stick the nebulizer with albuterol in there. That was a 24/7 week I could have done without, the hubby and I took turns staying up all night, but we saved 5 out of 6 pups. I can’t remember if we got the albuterol from the vet or vet supply store. We went through a ridiculous number of oxygen tanks and expense. But we learned a lot.
I’m off to make homemade chicken and noodles, it’s perfect for a cold wet dreary gray day, brrrr, we’re on our 7th day in a row of 20* colder than normal temps, dang, it’s supposed to be 70* not 50*. I’m desperate for sunshine too. agh.
I’m hearing on the news as I type that people shouldn’t hold off on booking flights for the holidays expecting better rates, I guess it’s not going to happen. dang
just speaking fer me..
I ain’t a “Polyanna’s” that Ryan was talking to..that ain’t my name so I never bothered with teh linkie thingie
sooossss…I had other stuffs I could do today mostly work-related and make money fer me related….
thanks to those who clicked on Ryan’s link and reported back
Loved the video AKM thanks for finding it,Wish we would have had it sooner,what fun it would have been also the ballad song LOLI have already spread them around to another forum I belong to that really isn’t political but we do put up funny videos and these were not only funny,and true but very very well done.it did take me a while to remember I could find it on u-tube by looking under Bill Oliver and the moose burgers .It deserves all the hits we can give it.
Darn! It locks up on me right at “doesn’t neeeed a point of view”. I’ll have to try playing it directly from You Tube. Very funny! You should send that link out via twitter AKM. It certainly deserves more views.
Well , it’s official. Ski country of Western New York has its first snow warning of the season. 4-6 inches possible. Unfortunately, the trees still have a lot of leaves so that could mean trouble.
And, speaking of troubling – The wing nut world is getting nuttier and scarier by the day – perhaps even by the hour. A NC Baptist Church is holding a good old fashioned Halloween book burning:
http://rawstory.com/2009/10/n-c-church-to-burn-satans-books-including-works-of-mother-theresa/
Ya gotta wonder what’s going on within the nuttery ranks though. They’re not only burning versions of the bible that they don’t care for along with the works of Mother Theresa and the Pope, but they’re also lobbing in books by Sarah’s big fan, James Dobson, as well as “heretic” Billy Graham. Well now I’m just all sorts of confused! Do they even know who and what they’re against anymore ? Maybe they should write these things down so they don’t end up just willy nilly setting each other aflame as they’re caught up in the frenzy of God’s work. This sort of thing should be organized and efficient.
Oh, and to top it off nicely, it’s not jista book burnin’, you betcha. There’ll also be a scrumdillyicious chicken bbq with all the fixins. Cleansing the world of Satan sure does work up an appetite!
Peace Out!
Loved it! What a HOOT!

Thanks AKM – BuffaloGal is right, it needs to get out everywhere. What a great way to start one’s day, with a bit of laughter.
B/G – let’s hope the snow is good at ski areas to help boost the economy……as soon as the leaves finish dropping.
Wow – I just got caught up with yesterday’s comments. That’s what I get for trying to do my desk work. I miss all kinds of stuff!
Claw Washout Palin – I see you already posted the book burning link on yesterday’s open thread. Sorry for the repost! I’ve been wondering though … do you sing at a book burning?
And Justa, dropped you a PM.
GG2B – I’m hoping the same for ski country. Some years are fairly dismal and that’s too bad. We have some truly gorgeous ski areas and people come from all over. We’re always happy for the southern tier folks when we have good snow years. (But we’re also quite happy for them to keep most of the snow all to themselves !)
Added a number of links to right wing news over at my twitter acct for those who are following : http://www.twitter.com/palintruthwatch You don’t need a twitter acct to view them. Some useful stuff has been coming through the past days.
That video is amazing! I’ve done a bit of video work in a prior life, and I know that it involves much, much more work than one initially assumes, so hats off to Bill Oliver and his gang for that fantastic little video.
I did some Googling, and have found this page http://www.vtcommons.org/audio?page=5 where there is a high-quality MP3 version of the song available for download.
That page includes a link to this page http://www.mrhabitat.net/index.html which is apparently Bill Oliver’s home page.
Too bad the YouTube video didn’t get the recognition that it deserved when it was first posted. It should definitely be spread around to everyone you know and love.

She’s a bridge to nowhere ma’am
Sitting in her snow-capped land
Making all her so-called plans, for everybody
She’s a mom as you can see
Men and moose fall to their knees
Blood and guts and special needs for the GOP
Nowhere ma’am, admit it
You were for it before you were ag’in it
Nowhere ma’am, those federal funds flow thru you hands
She’s the anti-Hillary
Has her own ar-tillery
Wants more offshore drill-ery than Hillary (“drill, baby, drill”)
Nowhere ma’am, please listen
To Karl Rove, god bless ‘im
Nowhere ma’am, the free world is at your command
Doesn’t need a point of view
Teleprompter prompting you
What works for them works for you and you know who
It’s the campaign’s sexy merger:
Beer money meets mooseburger
But it’s still war and it’s still murder and oil money (“don’t forget that”)
Nowhere ma’am, it’s still a
Case of earmarks up the Wasilla
Nowhere ma’am, the lipstick is smeared, but it’s still a ham
She’s a bridge to nowhere ma’am
Queen in her Denali land
Making all her so-called plans for somebody
Trying on the power pants of Dick Cheney (“it’s not pretty”)
Pretty peppy puppetry for the GOP
Trigger fingers on the bombs of destiny (“that’s scaring me”)
I wouldn’t wish that policy on nobody
This is great…what a happy way to start the day!
and buffgal…dont be that happy for us down here in southern tier for snow…maybe at the ski resorts…but not here, at least not before my furnace gets installed
Thanks for the video! Wonderfully done. Started my day with a chuckle.
B/G – Great links you have posted at Twitter! I’m glad I can follow it there as I’m not on Twitter. I saw that one of the Frank Schaeffer interview and I think he’s right en pointe with his feelings. Glenn Beck is an absolute danger and I can’t believe nothing can be done about him. Problem is, if any action was taken by the government, it would validate to his crazy followers that he was right and the *gestapo* is at work as he predicted.
I hope more and more sign on at the Velvet Revolution:

I was glad to see that the Stein story has generated over $25,000 and HuffPo has upped the goal to $30,000.
This was awesome! There was a lot of effort in making it, too. Many subtle digs. Requires nearly 600 views to catch all the stuff in it!
Duuuuuude!
Judi @7 Whereabouts are you in the southern tier? I promise, I’ll wish really hard for the snow to hold off until your furnace is installed!
I am sorely behind on keeping up with the comments so apologies if this is a repost. But, c’mon – The face of $P cut as a maze in to a corn field? How could I not post:
http://www.gadling.com/2008/09/28/sarah-palin-in-a-corn-maze/
Can you imagine the nightmare of being lost in the maze that is Palin’s head?? yikes!
I don’t know how this was missed! I think I love these guys. I just laughed my butt right off.
Oh. My. God.
That was awesome. My daughter was dancing to it. My little democrat in training.
I loved the pig, and they were putting lipstick on it, come on. It doesnt get better than that.
HAHAHAHA
The rhymes are brilliant!
B/G – Worked at our local corn maze for years each Halloween, and I can’t imagine had it been Palin! Amazing how many of the commenters really think she’s the cat’s meow and could run this country!
Morning Joe went on and on ad nauseum over Limbaugh being rejected for owning a team – placed most of the blame on Al Sharpton. Don’t they think anyone else in the NFL had any impact?
Heard any interesting (but delusional) statement regarding the Dow going over 10,000 yesterday – they termed it “Bush’s Recovery”……….because the first stimulus went out while Bush was still President. So much for the rightwingers saying the stimulus WASN’T working! Is that flawed logic or what?
What a great video. Only 600 views? Egad, too funny not for more to watch that.
AKM-
Wonderful!
Wish we’d had it last fall… also, too. We needed the chuckles… we REALLY needed the chuckles.
A trip down memory lane… another sane voice, from a year ago…
http://www.salem-news.com/articles/october152008/ramey_oped_10-15-08.php
“Sarah Palin has been on the political stump now all of seven weeks, arriving as a gift from heaven with few of the attributes of a seasoned politician, but possessed of charms that, if you aren’t sure what they are, you’re still likely to believe she has ‘em.”
I love the video! Thanks for the chuckle!

Thank you AKM for sharing this. What a great way to start my day! I needed a laugh after reading she will be in Texas to help Perry run for re-election! (although Meg-a-mouth won’t confirm) AND, that she will be doing a book tour….I just can’t see how that’s gonna work out for her unless it’s limited to Fix News only.
Between the cow yesterday and this today you have decidedly made my week a little more fun. Thanks again.
It never ceases to amaze me how creative other people are.
Should have sung,
Doesn’t need a point of view, Face Book A OK for you.
This is absolutely perfect for future campaigns !!!
The flying pig was a touch of genius!
Oh, oh, I’m in trouble. That’s scary good competition. I better get back to work and learn how to sing, play instruments and make films.
If she is going to Texas to help Perry, does that mean she is palling around with a murderer? A murderer of an innocent man, who is now trying to cover it up. Any bets she wont show? Thats all she needs while trying to sell that comic book of hers.
I tweeted the link to the video, it was to good not to.
Im lexky_dem4life on twitter if anyone wants to follow.
im addicted to it….
AKM, Thanks for the morning chuckle, what a great way to start the day.
Now that was hysterical. Great find AKM.
LOL! I love the little piggy!
Michigander, I forgot all about this. A person can buy antibiotics from a vet supply or pet store. I used to mix up my own sick puppy ‘drinks’ and give penicillin shots to the mamma dogs after birthing. Just bes sure to check into dosing. I know rural folks around here have used the powered antibiotic for fish and chickens. Medical vet books explain the different names and additional info.
One time we even purchased tanks of oxygen for a litter with pneumonia, but with a vets prescription.
here is a link with some ideas…….(ethnic markets also carry antibiotics).
http://www.coreynahman.com/antibiotics.html
That was a real tribute; maybe they (the bridge to nowhere runners) can use this as their annual theme song. Would be nice to perform live!! Have participants from all-over and donate funds to charity; of their chose
Even as far back as last year; Palin, Rove and Cheney have been connected. What a threesome.
I know it’s early for a tree fort moment but if anyone’s up for it, I’ll be there for a few minutes. (11:20 EST) Have something to get feedback on. Thankee !
That was brilliant! Copied the url and sent it out to my email list
for friends to enjoy.
I raise my coffee cup to Bill Oliver and the Mooseburgers!

Wow, not only is she not going with her famous misquote of Madeleine Albright’s quote “There’s a place in hell reserved for women who don’t support other women”(Albright’s actual quote was “help” not “support”) by supporting “goodhair” instead of KBH. She’s also supporting someone who was either too lazy or found it not politically advantageous to intervene in the execution of a man that most likely was innocent. In addition to being a birdbrain she also consistently lacks judgement. Let’s see, should I go give a little speech at the Reagan library to repub women or should I fly half way around the world to give a speech about something I know absolutely nothing about?
OMG, I just watched the video. LOL, I love it! And yes, how did we not see it before? They did a great job, clap clap clap.Tahee, pass it around folks. Get it viral………
That was awesome! It really needs to go viral.
My fav line………………”Doesn’t need a point of view”….does just what they tell her too.
Wow……………..that is spot on.
“Tryin’ on Dick Cheney’s Power Pants…” — That lyric is just so perfect! beth.
(But now the “Nowhere Ma’am” tune is going to be my earworm until replaced by some other equally catchy and mindlessly-incessant song. It could be worse, though, I could have [dare I even mention it for fear of having it return to earworm me?] “Put the lime in the coconut…” earworming me, still. Oh, no! Now I’ve got dueling earworms………Aiiiiiiiiii!)
here’s another one, not as good, but still a good laugh.
Funny. And, they did a nice rendition of that song, the harmonies were great. The Cheney guy, flying pig…..flip flops…
That was awesome..and as prev. mentioned..you need to see it a number of times..in order to..Catch..the numerous ‘bits’..indeed..enough ..naughtyness..to enjoy all day.
That was priceless and laugh-out-loud funny. So glad you found it and posted it.
I love the flying pig – I want one!
Adorable –
I needed a laugh today with all the work in front of me.
“up the wasilla”………my fav — totally brilliant.
Wow! Love this! Thanks AKM!!
@35 Beth, earworm…..very funny.
Put the lime in the coconut…….. Now, you have me singing it.
Ahhhhhhh.
This GOP mom LOVED it! I’m posting it now on some of the right nut jobs blogs now. They’ll have kittens over this one! I LOVE it, and cant’ wait for Gryph to expose this bimbo.
I don’t support Palin not because she’s a woman (as I am), but because she’s dangerous and unqualifed for any office above moose catcher.
Oh, my fav was ‘drill baby drill’!
I hadn’t seen this one either……..this is more fun than reading depressing stories about her.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-fOuyz6c9w&feature=related
I love open threads.
I have been seeing the Levi/Tank commercial on TV here… every time I do, I snicker at the slap in the face to $P that is… he’s on TV, making money every time that thing airs, good face time, and she’s wandering the planet trying to stir up a name for her stupidity.
That kid is charmed. He might not feel like it, but he is.
That video was a hoot, AKM. Thanks for finding and sharing it. Please put it in the archives for future use. ha ha ha ha
Fantastic, hilarious, fun, etc. Lipstick on the pig and the flying pig were the perfect touch.
Are they going to burn Scarah’s book of lies?
@46 & @28 – Say No to Palin in Politics
That one was also hilarious! There are some might clever people out there. Can’t wait for the next goodies from flyinureye and lynnrockets.
Several of the places to find pet antiobiotics in the southeast are Tractor Supply, Southern States, and Rural King. Along with antibiotics, we can get all the immunizations for cats and dogs, with the exception of the rabies shots. You can even get intravenous fluids at some of them. One of my Chihuahuas was puny and sickly from birth and has respiratory problems. The vet recommended that I use my human nebulizer with albuterol (at a distance of about 1 foot from his face) when he is in distress.
better late than never, this vid really was funny, thanks for posting it now <3!
uhoh – what happens if somebody is already standing up for our nation over on the corner $P wants to stand?
http://www.StandUpForOurNation.us
I suppose they could stand up for our nation, together – each with their own views and voice. Very democratic.
Yeah.. I like that.
It’s a wet cold day here. I’ve been out skipping around reading many comments this morning
These are two that made me laugh
One said they should call her new org. Lie down for bucks.
Another said “She’s so crooked she has to screw her shoes on.
Keep them coming.
Poor Rush! He won’t just go quietly into the night.
Courtesy of Gryphen’s website, here is Rush’s latest statement, blaming us *libruls*: Just another scare tactic from another nut.
According to an account by ESPN, Limbaugh said on air Wednesday: “This is not about the NFL. It’s not about the St. Louis Rams. It’s not about me. This is about the ongoing effort by the left in this country, wherever you find them, in the media, the Democratic party, or wherever, to destroy conservatism, to prevent the mainstreaming of anyone who is prominent as a conservative. Therefore, this is about the future of the United States of America and what kind of country we’re going to have.”
lol Buffalo Gal, love your link, were you able to get like .org .net or other dots?
AKM…What a treat, this is a real keeper…Sooooooo tru ..LMBO
Oh dear, should have been Lie down for your bucks.
Hey Polyanna’s!
This is great…
http://counterpunch.com/larson10152009.html
Maybe R.H is trying to ‘ stir the pot ‘ a little… again.
If I posted the link I would have to be posting it as satire or sarcasm myself.
Somebody has reviewed a Book ( in their own mind I guess? ) that they have never seen and is not even out yet but they know what is IN it…? Remarkable!
I guess you need a VIVID imagination to do THAT.
SNL’s Seth and Amy would say ” Ohh REALLY? ”
“Flawless, lucid, flowing language pours from each page in the Governor’s stunning rags-to-riches account of her remarkable life. As a prose stylist, clearly she has few peers.”
” Flawless, lucid, flowing language “….Hmm?
Obviously this Mr. Larson never saw the Quitter speech by the Lake.
The Jokes write themself…. just like Michael Steele of yesterday. Too funny.
I still want to see how she ‘ slays a salmon ‘ though.
Wow I just read about Linda’s ( Diva’s Blue Oasis ) ordeal with trying to get the e-mails she requested and paid to receive…this state needs a complete ethics over haul !
hig, I read the review and figured it was a joke on the book, certainly couldn’t be written as a serious piece.
@54 BuffaloGal – Hot dang, you did it! How clever of you! I can just see those hair extensions go flying when $P starts pulling her hair out over this. Good job! You have done a great job and I enjoy reading and learning from you. Be sure to let us know when you update or add to it, okay?
Oops… My fault. Did I not scroll down and read the last 2 paragraphs.. Hmmm.
Maybe it was satire after all. My mistake.
It’s satire, of the highest order. Larsen himself admits in the last sentence he wrote all this without reading her book. Read it again, keep in mind he is making fun of her, and you will really enjoy the piece!
It seems Quittypants is headed for Texass to campaign for Gov. Good Hair. Here is my buddy Susan’s take on it from Kissmybigbluebutt. She and other Texas Democrats are stocking up on popcorn and adult beverages to watch the fun as the Gov and Kay Bailey Hutchinson get ready to go at it in the political ringie dingie.
http://www.kissmybigbluebutt.com/#October_15
@ Ziggy
Did you see the disclaimer at the bottom?
Charles R. Larson is Professor of Literature at American University, in Washington, D.C.
Disclaimer: The review was written before he read the book.
This was my favorite part:
What a pleasure to read a writer who can quote Nietzsche, Foucault, Derrida, and Reinhold Niebuhr with such ease and apply their wisdom to her own life. I suspect that this book will soon be taught in American schools alongside the works of Benjamin Franklin, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Henry David Thoreau, other classic accounts of what it means to be an American.
Bye Kiddies
RE: Going Rogue review – It is possible that Mr. Larson was one of those who acquired an advance copy and has actually read it, were it not for his disclaimer at the end of the article.
Referencing this statement of his: “As a prose stylist, clearly she has few peers. William Safire immediately comes to mind but also Carlyle and Addison and Steele. ” – well, the style ought to be fairly decent, given that Lynn Vincent was her ghostwriter, so the praise should be going to Ms. Vincent, no Ms. Palin. Even though Ms. Vincent may be a good writer, I think it is a bit of a stretch to place her in the same category with Safire, Carlyle, Addison, and Steele.
Another of his comments: “More startling— is the speed with which Governor Palin wrote her autobiography, which can only be the product of the well-organized mind of a genuinely talented writer. ” Good grief, Mr. Lawson must not have EVER heard or read any of her earlier speeches that she actually wrote. He’s another who can’t seem to understand she should be referred to as ex-Governor or former governor. Not having completed her term of office due to her own choice of quitting, does not entitle her to use the term, such as Governor Howard Dean is entitled to.
I certainly have to chuckle at her having a “well-organized mind” – spare me! As to the speed with which she completed it, one shouldn’t be surprised if all she had to do was rattle off her random and scatter-brained thoughts for Lynn Vincent to pull together. She also undoubtedly started on the book well before her resignation. Wasn’t there some question about her not being able to be involved in publishing a book and still hold her governorship?
As to the publication date being pushed up – Murdoch probably thought he had a cash-cow and political-puppet when he first signed her up, then discovered she isn’t quite up to snuff and wanted to cash in on what few sales could be made before all the other books about her came out, and before further troubles fall on her head.
“raised in the outbacks of Alaska”……… When I hear “outback”, I think of Australia, or at least the Delta region of Alaska. Can the area around Anchorage and Wasilla truly be called the outback?
I nearly spit out my coffee as I read this line about her “university years”: “At each university, I sought out the finest minds, the most demanding professors in order to probe their intellects for decoding the major philosophical questions that mankind has been concerned with since time immemorial.”
Those words did NOT come out of Palin’s mouth! Also, she went to two COLLEGES and two universities – not to demean colleges, but there is a bit of a difference, isn’t there?
“Once she had taken courses from the most distinguished professors at an institution, then she moved on to another university where the process would begin all over again.”
Who’s leg does she think she’s pulling with this?
On hunting: “How can one not be thrilled by scoping with one’s rifle bear, caribou, crocodiles?” she asks.
CROCODILES IN ALASKA? What happened to all the moose (meese) and wolves that she shoots?
What poll was she looking at when she referred to this?
“Governor Palin is fully cognizant of Americans’ desire that she be the next President of the United States.”
I would love to hear how current residents of Alaska respond to this gem: “Governor Palin writes that her decision not to serve her full term as the governor of Alaska was prompted by her realization that she had already accomplished all that was needed for the state. There was nothing left for her to do.”
OMG! “More startlingly, she states that if elected President of the United States, she will probably not serve the full eight years. “If I can do for my country as a whole what I did for Alaska in less than a full term, why would I want to stay in the position for such a lengthy time? To stay longer would be a waste of my talents. I’ll move on to something more challenging—the United Nations, for example, or even the Supreme Court—places where I have long realized I can contribute even more.”
OKAY FOLKS – READY??? You really MUST read this.
http://www.counterpunch.org/larson03202009.html
Charles Larson is behind one of the numerous movements to impeach President Obama. Here is one of the statements from that insane article:
Obama’s appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” an utterly frivolous event, so insignificant that not one American even watched the show, resulting in the network’s poorest ratings in more than a decade. So outraged was Arizona’s Senator Jon Kyl (R) when he learned about the scheduled broadcast that he ordered the President to cancel his appearance and address the AIG controversy instead.
I beg to differ – there were millions of Americans who watched the show and ratings went through the roof. And who is JUNIOR Senator Kyl to ORDER the POTUS to do anything.
Bottom line – Larson is a retired Navy Admiral and if I didn’t know better I’d think he was writing satire.
Yup Ryan – you got us going, but in a humorous way!
I personally take it as a compliment to be called a Pollyanna.
Pollyanna Principle – bias towards the positive.
Yup again, that’s me, I’d rather think positive and find something good in each minute of the day.
Hilarious! Thanks for posting.
Okay Ryan – You got me! I initially thought it was satire, then I looked at titles and reviews from his other writings and they were serious pieces. In reading his bio, it stated he was a Democrat and I was trying to reconcile his pro-Palin/anti-Obama stance in my mind. All the other smarties on this forum caught on quicker than I, whilst I was off reading and writing and not paying attention to new posts! However, it surely helped me to pass a long and dreary afternoon with the rain beating on the windows. Only problem is I got so wrapped up in this issue that I forgot the brownies in the oven and they are good for nothing but chicken feed now. lol
Gramiam@67, I followed the link and read the linked article from CNN.
This gem is about 2/3 of the way down.
“”She will be coming here to campaign sometime after the first of the year once she is done with her book tour,” said Perry spokesman Mark Miner.
Palin’s spokesman Meg Stapleton did not respond to inquiries seeking to confirm the visit.”
Excellent! This means there is every chance she won’t show up!
I wonder if her ‘agent’ will negotiate a price for her services to the Texas Gov.? I wonder if her contract rider will specify lodging only at five-star hotels? Only red and blue M&Ms in the candy bowl in the Green Rooms? A mini-fridge stocked with diet Dr. Pepper and champaign? Wonder if she’ll unbag and don some of the RNC campaign clothing from last year?
I can hardly wait … oh, yeah, I really can. After all, we gotta get ourselves through her book release next month and this apparent ‘tour’ first. I really hope she is not scheduled to be anywhere near Miami, but then, I can’t imagine the people here in So. Fla. being particularly interested in her book. (Actually, I can’t imagine ANYONE being interested in her book).
We may be spared.
Now that the red has receded from my face, I tender my sincere apologies for allowing myself to be punked and then going on a rant!
On another topic – President Obama showed once again what a decent person and good diplomat that he is.

Anyone following the story of a homemade balloon that got loose and the 6 year old is missing?
Check this one out, a Davie Crockett song but with Sarah lyrics:
by Ms_enza October 15, 2009 3:28 PM EDT
Sar…ah… Sarah Palin, Queen of the Wild Frontier.
Born in a bungalow down in Idaho
Land of bigots and the low potato(e)
Raised in the woods so’d she know’d ev’ry tree
Moved to Alaska when she was only three,
Sar…ah… Sarah Palin, Queen of the Wild Frontier.
She went off to Juneau and served a spell
Cookin’ up the books and her house as well (wink, wink…)
Took over Anchorage, so I heard tell
And she raised her perdiem so’d she live quite well
Sar…ah… Sarah Palin, seeing Russia clear
#73 GreatGranny2B, Yep since it’s in Colorado I’m following it. I hope it’s a hoax instead of the other possibility. The parents saw the videos as the media got involved & didn’t mention that part of the balloon, like the basket, was missing? It’s all very strange, the parents are storm chasers and have also appeared on some reality show, swap my wife or some such foolishness. Like I said, I hope it was a hoax for attention or that the little boy is hiding…They’re now searching a mile swath downwind from the house where the balloon initially took off.
book tour? i don’t think so. girl can’t even do a press conference without killing a turkey or sounding like a whiner………..but actually answering quick questions and cowtow to on and off quick scheduling for tv? nah. ain’t gonna happen in a wasillion years.
easier to just let the megachurch boys sell ‘em for her on sunday. dontcha know.
jc in colo —– that balloon ride was really mind-blowing and then NO KID.
did you see the kiddo’s youtube video? definitely a prankster. my money is on the “kid hiding in the barn while parents go nuts looking for him”.
the bill is gonna be steep for the parents. helicopter, ambulances, cops…
the best case scenario is the kid is hiding somewhere……….cause if there really was a basket that came off or he fell out — well, that would be incredibly sad.
It’s raining cats & dogs here in Northern Ca for the second day & I am not a fan of rain. I was reading Margaret Truman’s book, First Ladies…An Intimate Group Portrait of White House Wives, she is a very entertaining writer & had FDR on PBS on the teevee & wondered how in the hell we have people of Quitty’s ilk that we even have to worry about at this time in history.
Mudpups………before anyone ever orders a free trial of something for just the shipping cost or $3.95 or whatever, do it this way so you don’t get scammed and so you save yourself a lot of aggravation. Always be careful ordering these type offers. They all do the same thing.
Our daughter learned the hard way, sigh. It happens.
This person on a complaint board explains a perfect way to protect yourself if you really want to try the product…………I thought it was pretty smart, lol.
“I ordered the acai berry detox but i used an old prepaid card and just put enough money on the card to cover the shipping cost that the company was asking…good luck to them if they try to charge my card.”
#79 Say No
Interesting I keep getting email sent to me from them too. Good idea to keep deleting temporaty files & cookies & history.
Discover and Bank of America have agreed to freeze their interest rates until the new law goes into affect in Feb…….but what out for others. Chase has no plans of freezing their rates.
http://www.complaintsboard.com/news-stories/credit-card-companies-hiking-rates-before-2010-changes.html
Credit Card Companies Hiking Rates Before 2010 Changes
“Consumers who have a credit card outside of Discover and Bank of America are encouraged to stay on top of their monthly statements and continue to analyze them for any changes that are being made. Budgeting for a higher credit card payment may be a good idea even if an increase does not go into effect in order to pay the card off faster. Even consumers who have an excellent credit and payment history with a card company may be subjected to rate hikes, penalties, and doubled monthly minimum payments.”
SayNo @81:
Discover & BoA did freeze rates on my accounts. BoA also lowered the minimum payment.
Chase, OTOH, more than doubled my interest rate for no other reason than because they could, so I called to “opt out”, thus keeping my 8% interest rate and closing the account. Way to run a business and keep customers. Idiots.
Larsen’s satire reminded me of Borowitz’s recent article, where he said Limpbaugh was re-naming the Minnesota Rams to the Minnesota Vicodins.
Now that is funny.

Let’s post this amazingly talented youtube video on HP whenever there’s a $P story. This band needs more hits. Hopefully they’ll make another one.
JustaFarmer, If I had ANY charges with Chase I’d be transferring them to Discover or Bank of American, lickity split.
GG2b, I made an incubator box for our wee 3 week old pups out of a clear plastic storage container, oxygen in one hole, with an air hole out the other side, we’d lift the lid to stick the nebulizer with albuterol in there. That was a 24/7 week I could have done without, the hubby and I took turns staying up all night, but we saved 5 out of 6 pups. I can’t remember if we got the albuterol from the vet or vet supply store. We went through a ridiculous number of oxygen tanks and expense. But we learned a lot.
I’m off to make homemade chicken and noodles, it’s perfect for a cold wet dreary gray day, brrrr, we’re on our 7th day in a row of 20* colder than normal temps, dang, it’s supposed to be 70* not 50*. I’m desperate for sunshine too. agh.
