Well not all of it. Remember some of the blame has to go to the victims. That’s how it works in the warped reality of the GOP.
October 4th, 2006 at 9:32 pmWow, but these guys are going straight to hell!
October 4th, 2006 at 9:33 pmAmerica’s Least Wanted
Hastert protects pedophiles. Nice to see the Republicans sacrificing the children for their own attempt to garner power.
October 4th, 2006 at 9:36 pmA Gay Cabal. – - How odd. That was a classic ’40’s film with Cesar Romero as The Cisco Kid.
October 4th, 2006 at 9:39 pmOh wait….maybe that was The Gay Caballero.
Wow! The gay community is SO powerful in the Republican Party. Who knew?
October 4th, 2006 at 9:41 pmWhat does Ken Mehlamn have to say about all this gay cabal stuff? For that matter, what does Mehlman have to say about the GOP stance on the “Foley Situation?”
October 4th, 2006 at 9:45 pm“GOP ‘06: Standing Behind Our Children.”
Here are more ads for the GOP we’d like to see…
October 4th, 2006 at 9:51 pmSo a cabal of gay staffers caused this? I knew it.
October 4th, 2006 at 9:51 pmMehlman’s holed up sending IMs on his laptop, he cant comment…
October 4th, 2006 at 9:52 pmFor that matter, what does Mehlman have to say about the GOP stance on the “Foley Situation?â€
Comment by Above+the+Clouds
Hmmmm, the closeted Mehlman has been quite silent, hasn’t he?
October 4th, 2006 at 9:55 pm“the Homos are coming, the Homos are cumming”
October 4th, 2006 at 9:58 pmHi Zooey. How’s it goin’?
October 4th, 2006 at 10:00 pmYeah, and why are all these gay people working as staffers for Congressmen and a Party that bashes, scapegoats and demonizes people like them for political purposes?
I guess everything was OK as long as it was OTHER gays that were being scapegoated by the administration that they worked so hard to support.
Maybe they’ll wake up once they are the ones getting dumped on.
I hate that the whole gay community will suffer from this tactic, but I don’t feel ONE ounce of pity for these gay staffers!
October 4th, 2006 at 10:04 pmHow’s it goin’?
Comment by ForTruth
Absolutely fantastic. How about you?
October 4th, 2006 at 10:13 pmI am doing very well tonight.
October 4th, 2006 at 10:16 pmThat’s fabulous, Truth.
October 4th, 2006 at 10:18 pmAnd the friggin interrogation bill, notta, nodda, nottathing, el-negativo.
October 4th, 2006 at 10:19 pmTruth, you just read my frickin’ mind!
You like that? I said “frickin’,” instead of the usual.
October 4th, 2006 at 10:22 pmZooey, thats good because the usual would get you deleted :)
October 4th, 2006 at 10:28 pmPoor Thugs, all these queers infiltrating their ranks making them look bad and all.
October 4th, 2006 at 10:30 pmYou these home-made emotocons are good. :√}
October 4th, 2006 at 10:31 pmWell Truth, it’s been a few days, I could stand a good deleting. :)
October 4th, 2006 at 10:32 pmI think so.

No kidding. Where did you learn how to do those?
October 4th, 2006 at 10:39 pmOn the computer I am using, I can hold down the alt key and then use the keyboard. But I don’t know if it will work on a Windows computer. I am using a Mac.
October 4th, 2006 at 10:42 pmI guess I just don’t need to do stupid emoticons, anyway. :P
October 4th, 2006 at 10:47 pm#25 I like that. :) They had better be of age though. :)
October 4th, 2006 at 10:48 pmZoϴ
October 4th, 2006 at 10:48 pmOh so they are stupid anyway? I see how it is.
October 4th, 2006 at 10:49 pmYes Truth, they are stupid if I can’t do them. I have decided…
October 4th, 2006 at 10:52 pm:)
October 4th, 2006 at 10:52 pmHeh
October 4th, 2006 at 10:53 pmYes they are pretty stupid, I hate them.
October 4th, 2006 at 10:55 pmExcept this one ∞
October 4th, 2006 at 10:56 pmI knew you’d come around. :P
Is this officially a thread hijacking?
October 4th, 2006 at 10:56 pmExcept this one ∞
what does that one mean to you?
October 4th, 2006 at 10:59 pmZooey, instinctively it means BOOBS. Intellectually it means infinity. I am torn!!

Does anything NOT remind you of boobs? Just trying to get a control here…
October 4th, 2006 at 11:08 pmOr since its infinity, I can call it, endless boobs. Yes thats it.
October 4th, 2006 at 11:09 pmI feel extra special.
Comment by ForTruth
Just because you are.
October 4th, 2006 at 11:10 pmPredictable?
October 4th, 2006 at 11:11 pmI don’t think so.
It’s you unpredictability that made it so you.
Baseball does not remind me of boobs, well, yes it could. Um, well I saw about 5 different flat skunks on the road today, and that didn’t remind me of boobs.
October 4th, 2006 at 11:12 pmyour….
October 4th, 2006 at 11:14 pmoops
Endless boobs…
That could be women or men! I like it…
October 4th, 2006 at 11:14 pmA bear and a rabbit were both shitting in the woods. The bear turns to the rabbit and says, “do you have trouble with shit sticking to your fur?” And the rabbit says “no”.
So the bears picks up the rabbit and wipes his ass with him.

Excellent rationalization for hijacking this thread. I am still enjoying the special-ness.
October 4th, 2006 at 11:23 pm#63 Not sure. I think Barry probably thinks of the roids.

You go right ahead and enjoy that, Truth, because dammit, you deserve it! I don’t care what trueblue says about you, you’re alright.
I figured I had to think of some excuse, and the interrogations bill was as good as anything. Anyway, it’s true!
October 4th, 2006 at 11:26 pmJPark,
Barry Bonds has hemmoroids?
October 4th, 2006 at 11:27 pmWhat the hell does Trublue say about me? Were you two in the leu having a discussion?
October 4th, 2006 at 11:27 pmI’ll let trueblue explain herself. It’s only right.
October 4th, 2006 at 11:28 pmOh crap Zooey, you didn’t tell her, did you.

October 5th, 2006 at 12:08 amYes, I’m fine, Juan.
Are Zooey and I a fearsome duo?
(psst…., it’s mostly her…. don’t tell…)
:))))
How have you been?
October 5th, 2006 at 12:09 amSo did Juan just say hello and leave?
October 5th, 2006 at 12:09 amNo, still here. Falling asleep. Tired. Remember Im Juan+C. ;)
Zoo, the cavity wont seal. Im exhausted.
Comment by Juan+C
I’m sorry. Maybe you should take it to a dentist? :}
October 5th, 2006 at 12:10 amTrueblue, she had actually improved quite a bit with the tantrums in the past couple months. We also have been cracking down too, in an appropriate way of course.

I was wondering, but afraid to ask…
No. I’m 5′7″ (and shrinking. We all start shrinking from about age 30-35!)

Comment by ForTruth —
Still a cute age.
I taped my daughter’s temper tantrum. (one)
It was the cutest thing I ever saw.
Boy, I got lucky. God (or whomever) must have known I couldn’t handle much!
October 5th, 2006 at 12:17 amHow have you been?
Comment by trueblue
Fine but the thing is this. I began working in the buddhist temple I practice Aikido until 2 pm. Then I have to eat, then I have to seal the cavity (still leaking water), then the PIV apparatus in the Science Faculty is about to be occupied to another research, then I would have to wait like a couple of months more…but, my life is ok.
October 5th, 2006 at 12:19 amI found the best thing for stopping tantrums was sealing up the crack under the closet door. It muffled the sound so I could sleep all day.
October 5th, 2006 at 12:20 amZooey,
The last Dr.’s appt, the nurse felt it necessary to say, “She’s taller than you.”
I shot back, “Yea. In HEELS!”
Important thing is that they know you can still take ‘em! (figuratively speaking, everyone!)
October 5th, 2006 at 12:22 amDo you have an infected tooth, Juan?
Comment by trueblue
Ha! I wish. That would be easier to solve.
October 5th, 2006 at 12:23 amJuan,
Doesn’t really sound like everything’s OK. Just my opinion. I hope I’m wrong.
Zooey,
That is the funniest thing I’ve read all day!
October 5th, 2006 at 12:25 amYou had to wait until Miniblue was 16 to pass you up!?
Zoo Sr passed me when he was 13, and Zoo Jr passed me when he was 12!
But yeah, I can still take ‘em. I’ve never spanked them, I just talk them to death. Jr said one time, Can’t you just spank me and stop talking?
October 5th, 2006 at 12:25 amI found the best thing for stopping tantrums was sealing up the crack under the closet door. It muffled the sound so I could sleep all day.

October 5th, 2006 at 12:28 amIm really tired. Youre right.
Going off now. Take care.
MiniBlue is the same height!!!!
No passing!
No!No!No!No!No!
That’s funny, about Zoo, Jr!
October 5th, 2006 at 12:28 amNice one, I’ll have to try it.

If they got hungry, I’d just slide pancakes and tortillas under the door. Gotta make sure the neighbors see them once in a while though…

One time, whe MiniBlue was ~ 9, she sassed me.
I told her to go to her room.
She slammed the door.
I went in, told her it was OK to be angry with me, but it was not OK to slam the door, and next time she did it, she wouldn’t have a door to slam.
“Fine!” she said.
Got the hammer and screwdriver, took the door off, and she didn’t have it for a week and 1/2!
October 5th, 2006 at 12:35 am16 now. Not many door slams, I can assure you!
:)
Good one, true. So why are you such a weenie otherwise? I’m thinking of the “boil him in oil dude.”
…
Goodnight, Juan!
October 5th, 2006 at 12:39 amThat was one time.
I pretty much spoil the bejeesez out of her the rest of the time. Jeckyl and Hyde, if you will.
Again, Irish Temper. It’s a horrible thing.
I’ve made “boil him in oil” man cower, just by looking at him.
October 5th, 2006 at 12:43 amCan you say, “Coniption?”
(damn! I hope that’s how it’s spelled! My dictionary is not here! grrrrrrr!)

A good time was had by all!
It’s almost 1:00am here, though. About 3 and 1/2 hrs past my usual bedtime! (wimp, I know!)
The Sandman is beating me to death.
Gotta go.
Goodnight, everyone!

October 5th, 2006 at 12:56 amMasterful hijacking!
Goodnight, true. No way am I emailing you. :)

October 5th, 2006 at 12:58 amGoodnight dear Zooey.
October 5th, 2006 at 1:01 amGoodnight, Truth. It’s been fun.
October 5th, 2006 at 1:03 amHi Gang, just passing through….say, not all irish are tall. this one is 5 ft 4 and shrinking..LOL..Sorry to hear about the cavity thing Juan, hope you get it taken care of soon.
Any one going to ” TheWorld can’t wait” rally in you’re areas tomorrow.? Ond fairly close to me going to try and car pool… I send Blessings and will try to check back in when it’s over…

And this partly Irish person is just 5′2.”
October 5th, 2006 at 1:36 amBack on subject, while I seriously doubt that there is really a gay cabal out to get Hastert, I wouldn’t blame gays for wanting to take some Republiscum down.
Hi All, I just had to pick any thread here on TP to ask whether this whole idea of responding to only the issues that appear here is an effective way to deal with all the crap that comes up on a daily basis in American political life. I guess there is a general daily roundup of issues that might interest us, but my question is about how to widen the discussion when it seems kind of narrowly focused on particular hot-button issues, at least at times, like recently. I think we are catching ourselves in the trap laid for us by the media, to just respond to the most titillating items of the moment. How is the subject matter of TP being triaged to fit within the scope of a few editors control and where is the forum to open new subjects that might be of interest? Just a question, not necessarily criticism. Is there an open forum?
October 5th, 2006 at 2:28 amBy the way, I have to say that life woudldn’t be the same without the participation of all the regulars (and weirdos) on this site. Blessings as well from me, and beijos.
