Open Thread
28 10 2009It’s been a busy busy day. I had hoped to have a very special story to tell you in tonight’s open thread, but I’m afraid that my early rising this morning to go attend the Bill Allen sentencing has left me nodding off at the keys.
So, tomorrow, when I can do it justice, I’ll share a great story with you that contains – a mystery caller, a parcel from far away, a whole lot of amazing Mudpuppies, and a creation that will knock your boots off!
But in the mean time, share links, talk about the issues of the day, and enjoy.

@BuffaloGal #86 … everyone knows that Easter Bunny Peeps are the demonic treats.

@76 seagull said, “As a consolation, the Iowa Events Center reportedly offered IFPC Action the 16,000 seat Wells Fargo Arena at a greatly reduced rate.”

I used to live in Des Moines where the Wells Fargo Arena is located. I thought it was owned by the city. If so, I want to know why are they favoring a conservative group to host Sarah Palin by dropping their fees? I’m checking further to see who owns that facility now (maybe it’s private) but I would be screaming mad if the city were favoring a conservative group by offering special rates.

Levi went a little further, he said there were some damaging things that ‘could’ come out. He’s left the ‘I wouldn’t do that to her, wouldn’t want to hurt her’ mindset. And that yes, some things he knows could take her down.
I’m sure Scarah and Meg’s attack yesterday pushed him further from having any sympathy for her, good goin girls.
He did say, she would know what he’s talking about if she thought hard enough about it, hmmm. Scarah? what’s in the closet that Levi could possibly know about? hmmmm?
LOL, he’s talking fairly freely……oh, Scarah’s gonna be rant raving pissed! they’re rehashing all the stuff Levi has said. Bringing out more details.
That one of the first reactions from Scarah to the news of Bristol and Levi’s pregnancy was ‘this was really going to hurt her’ meaning politically and that she wasn’t none too happy about it.
And that yes, Scarah was serious about adopting the baby and that set both Bristol and Levi off about no way was that going to happen.
Can’t you just see Scarah’s frantic wheels churning on how to handle and spin this situation to protect her political future? you betchya.
He says Todd pretty much stayed out of that situation, clearly it was a Scarah political strategy he was willing to get involved in or in the middle of, which is typical for most normal guys.
When asked whether Scarah was aware and probably watching this interview. Levi says yeah, I’m sure she is, she probably is.
ET wonders whether Scarah will say things about Levi on Oprah. Levi doesn’t care.
I’m thinkin he could be surprised, I wouldn’t put it past her to dream up some damning stories. He may be naive about what she would do to smear him, but then again, he has dirt. If she’s willing to fabricate for her daughters pregnancy, just think what else is there.
He says he PAYS child support, talks to Bristol about 3 times a week making arrangements to have his child. But would like to see him more and may have to make that happen through going to court.
When asked if he’s still in love with Bristol, he says he’ll always have feelings for Bristol, she’s the mother of his child. As to whether Scarah had anything to do with breaking them up, he honestly says I don’t know and doesn’t know whether they’d still be together or whether they could get back together with Scarah in the picture.
When asked about affairs, he restates that Bristol thought Toad was having an affair.
Before commercial, it was said by the interviewer so this is a stare off between you and Scarah about who is going to blink first, Levi says yes, basically, when asked who is going to win, Levi says he’s not going to lose.
Scarah must be breaking things, run and hide Piper, Bristol and Todd, lol.
There’s more to come……..I guess tomorrow night? about whether divorce is possible.

@ 87 Say No to Palin in Politics, Lots to think about in your post. I do think she is working an angle. Isn’t she always working an angle?
It’s what con artists do. They con.
I want to know why she wasn’t (as governor) working to fix the problems with home health care for the elderly and disabled? She ignored the problems to the point that the federal government had to step in. Yet, at the same time, instead of using her energy to help these people get the care they deserve….she is creating a business that would charge them to get the care they deserve. Or, at least, charge families to have someone check in on these individuals.

I think the APOC form Sarah filled out had white out used on it and the ‘ between the S and a is just where she missed the whold letter. Just a guess but you can tell on some of the other forms that part of the fill in line ____ _________ is missing. But it is alot funnier to use S’arah. LOL
October 29th, 2009 at 4:01 PM

Saw video clips tonight on the news of President Obama at Dover AF Base where the 18 soldiers killed in Afghanistan were returned home early this morning. He went into the plane, said a prayer and then stood on the tarmac with some officers and saluted as the caskets were taken off the plane.
Very classy and heartfelt move by our president. Not a big media circus…just a special moment to honor the ultimate sacrifice of our military. SUCH a difference from the scene in an un-earned flightsuit on an aircraft carrier in front of a “Mission Accomplished” banner!
A local solder killed in Iraq was buried yesterday and many people, mostly strangers, stood in the pouring rain along the street near the cemetery, holding flags as the funeral procession passed. It’s comforting to know that President Obama cares enough about our military to take the time to personally honor the soldiers and their families who have given so much for our country.

This from the Springfield (MO) News Leader; Sarah Palen delivering on character education is like George Bush delivering on motivation:
‘Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will speak on patriotism, citizenship and civic engagement at College of the Ozarks at 7 p.m. Dec. 2 in the Keeter Gymnasium, a college news release said.
“Sarah Palin is a great example of an individual who became involved in her small town community and whose efforts and success eventually placed her in the national spotlight,” said Sue Head, executive director of The Keeter Center for Character Education. “We are looking forward to hosting her at the college.” ‘

My oldest brother passed away today from complications from bypass surgery. I would like anyone who wishes to please light a candle for him.
Thank you…

Pearl89 – Our deepest condolences and continued prayers as you and your family go through this ordeal. My husband went through a quadruple by-pass last year and we nearly lost him. Will go and light a candle now. Peace and blessings.

FYI – Candles lit for Pearl’s brother are under group Mudp.
From Congressional Quarterly:
Palin’s Numbers Mirror Quayle
Brendan Nyhan looks at recent “gruesome poll numbers” for Sarah Palin and notes that perceptions of her qualifications “are unprecedented among presidential/vice presidential nominees and major presidential contenders in recent years. From Joe Biden to George W. Bush, no one has been perceived as less qualified since Dan Quayle and Ross Perot. The Palin-Quayle parallel, which Jon Chait nailed soon after her nomination, is particularly striking. Each was a surprise VP pick who sparked initial enthusiasm but later became widely perceived as incompetent.”

Pearl89, so sad to hear about your brother, I lit a candle on the site, and will light one
here as well. May he not be afraid as he makes this transformation, and may you all
hold him close in this bittersweet time.
October 29th, 2009 at 9:35 PM
anybody watch 30 Rock? Tina Fey is always great, but I swear they were throwing many digs palin’s way with comments like “world view” & “real America”…you had to be there, but I LMAO!
October 29th, 2009 at 9:36 PM
Pearl89, I guess it is obvious that i believe we do go on after passing from this lifetime
to another and that the spirit or consciousness is accessible to us during that time.
I hope that it is not offensive in anyway towish that for him and you.
October 29th, 2009 at 9:44 PM
Oh pearl, I’m so saddened for you. Take care of yourself, and we’ll figure out a camera when you’re ready.
October 29th, 2009 at 9:56 PM
To Pearl89, I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies to you and your family. Lighting the candle now.
October 29th, 2009 at 10:11 PM
pearl! hugs to you, I am sorry. I am awake late at night and will light a candle, for the stars to see and eternity to know, you care and we care. Again, hugs and please rest.
October 29th, 2009 at 10:18 PM
Candle is lit, pearl. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, my friend. Hugs!
October 29th, 2009 at 10:33 PM
I want to thank everyone who lit a candle for my brother,his name is Roy. I left that off my previous post. Sorry.

Hey Alaska Mudflatters – the Northern Lights are out tonight!
I didn’t see them once last winter, so it is great to see them once again.
Thin, green ribbons of light tonight, dancing across the sky north of Kenai.
One ribbon is turning itself into a green light saber at times!
I once saw them at St. Mary’s, and I could almost reach out and touch them.
