A quote from a young resident of Massachusetts who carried a Scott Brown sign in multiple demonstrations outside Democrat events during the campaign and all day at the polls: “It’s my penance for voting for Obama.”
If hopey/changey and the rest of his cell had exhibited just a little common sense and grabbed a couple of racks of loaves instead of a trying to confiscate the bakery the country would still be nicely anesthetized.
I hadn’t really clicked on that video, that’s one ‘kickin’ video package, it’s what differentiates him from say Romney, who may share similar views but to listen to him is to hear pain dry
@ CK MacLeod:
That was incredible, Colin. Is there some easy way for an old codger to forward it to some of my internet buddies?
Also, I noticed the close up of Madam Pole Vault revealed the cheeks are beginning to sag around the mouth again, so it’s time for her to, as the song by Archie Bell and the Drells, TIGHTEN UP. She gotta do da tightin up, again my frem.
PS Did you get my morning email re Asbury Park? if not, how should I re send it to you, dear leadre?
@ CK MacLeod:
It is too cold here to walk the dog (“Bear,” a gorgeous Keeshond). Fortunately, we have a yard. He asks to go out at the back door, and, after a minute or two, he discovers that his paws and nose are very cold, and asks to be let back in. After a little while, he decides he wants to go out again, but then, again, after a minute he discovers that it again is too cold, even for a little wolf-dog named Bear, and barks to be let back in. This goes on for much of the day, especially during these 13 degree days, which is one of the reasons I go to my office downtown.
Bear is the most liberal or progressive member of the Newberry household. Just like liberals keep thinking, against all evidence and contrary to all experience, that raising taxes will bring in more revenue for all the stuff they want to do, Bear keeps thinking that the next time he goes out on the deck or into the garden it will not freeze his nose and paws again, so he continues to try to go out and hang out on the deck and in the garden where the birdbath is still frozen shut. But Bear is just a dog, you know, just a doggie with a little doggie brain.
Liberal pwogwessive have have big human brains, you know, so why can’t they remember that raising taxes actually lowers tax receipts?

As Mark Twain said, “A door is something a dog is always on the wrong side of.” He wants to be outside with his human, Z.
As Groucho Marx said, “Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog it’s too dark to read anyway.”
I think Keeshunds are in the general class of dogs called “Spitz” which include huskies and eskimo-type dogs. The absolute smartest dog I ever saw was an American Eskimo; my grandmother’s favorite dog (and she was a dog lover to beat all) was a Spitz.
Different sources say they originated in Holland or Germany. They were slaughtered during The Terror because they were associated with a leader named Keys (or Kees) in The Netherlands, and were hid on boats in the canals, where they developed their thick coats, and became great watch dogs, barking furiously at anyone or anything approaching their barge or houseboat. Rumor has it they resulted when Norwegian Elk Hounds were bred with wolfs. When agitated, they can show their teeth and go into a spin, which I think is one of the ways wolfs fight. They don’t shed, but blow their undercoat in warm weather. They have amazingly dextrous paws and can learn to open doors, hold “hands,” and unfortunately open refrigerators. They are not independent and hate being alone. They are sometimes called velcro dogs, they like being so close. Bear usually is wherever my goddess, Mrs. Newberry is, following her from room to room or sprawled out at her feet, very comforting during cold Chicago winter days.
Our Bear happily has never opened the refrigerator, and I have never seen any dog, purebred or not, open a refrigerator, but when I read on a long forgotten web site that Keeshonds have been known to do that, I was not surprised. He cleans his face with his paws very much like a cat does.
Also, please remember Bear is a pwogwessive libral, so he firmly believes he cannot do much of anything on his own, and must rely on us (his government) to do just about everything for him.@ fuster:
Well, if Bear’s a truly progressive liberal, don’t tell him he’s a dog, as it’s recently been determined that dogs are an unjustifiable burden on Mother Gaia.
The old fellow we brought this property from (and who still lived next door, so to speak) had a big shepherd lab doberman sort of combination. That dog used to pretty much feed himself – geese, ducks, groundhogs, deer sometimes (although I think he was dragging back carcasses rather than actually running the things down and killing them). A nice dog ’til he got too curious when the old guy was felling a tree.

The miracle is that this ad can so successfully combine high camp with an offensive comparison.
Gotta be a teabagging fool to slurp on this b-movie brew.

Wow, Barbara, that’s beautiful. All those who sent their 25 bucks to Brown can proudly see that their money was very well spent.

A rather amazing post, combining “teabagging” with a complaint about a supposedly offensive comparison in the ad.
January 29th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
trying to invoke the Tsar’s remark about how calling them ‘teabaggers’ is an offense against the the original boys from Boston.
this ad is a bunch of bloody shirt aimed right at that level. A choice of Brown or traitors to America.

Z – just noticed your e-mail from this AM amidst the morning deluge – sorry about that! Got to run right now, but I’ll be right on it as soon as I’m back from errands and dog-walking.

Um – maybe Bear needs to relieve himself? Do dogs in Chicago have to hold it all Winter?

Just looked up Keshond – very Huskie-ish. They look like you’d take them to conquer the Arctic.

@ Zoltan Newberry:
Well, Z, I ask because once I had to quite forcibly remove our dog (a Staffordshire Terrier or sumpin) from an open refrigerator.
The Old Lady swore that she’d not left it ajar and that the gluttonous animal must surely have opened it of himself, for himself, and by himself.
I made a note of that, washing up, and have long remembered to look for some evidence.
January 30th, 2010 at 12:19 pm
If a terrier can, a terrier will, as a rule. However, if he did it once, and enjoyed the reward, he’d likely have tried it again.
January 30th, 2010 at 12:33 pm
We have a half, Dutch type door, which keeps Bear out of the kitchen. He thinks opening the dishwasher is his dinner bell.
