Hey Thom,
I do a lot of machine embroidery with my clothing/textile designs. I should embroider corporate patches and send them to the congressmen representing those corporations.
On second thought, that would be WAY too many patches!
#3
No Quark,
Women mature and eventually get old. We never do. Take my wife...please.
#4
Maybe we could photocopy corporate logos on pressure-sensitive paper and send those to "corporate congressmen." (Just explain that they need to attach them to their lapels.)
#5
If Obama doesn't fight for a public option we can go in mass to light our farts on the steps of the Whitehouse.
#6
DDay,
Are you trying to tell us something?
#7
Loretta,
What a picture that evokes! I love it!
#8
I happen to have had a can of soda recently that had only about 3 oz. of liquid in it. No frog, though.
And Quark, you can do bold. Just put a b between angle brackets to start it and /b between angle brackets to end it.
#9
Quark: We'd have to work in pairs, because the mirror thing could get awkward and would be too slow:-)
#10
Loretta,
You are not only sweet...considerate...and a caring person but also brilliantly sick. I love that in a person. I'll go to D.C. if we get 1000 people to join. We can call it the True.... Thousand Points of Light!

mathboy,
Thanks for uncovering one of the mysteries of "the blog" for me! /b/ Thanks! //b/
#12
Thanks for the great laughs here. I think I can make it through the day now!
#13
Loretta,
You don't need a mirror (unless you're infatuated with yourself!)
#14
mathboy,
/b/Thanks./b/ --- Trying again.
Can you tell me how to insert a photo?

Thom, Obama will sell us out because he is a corportist. We only have to look at his appointments.
On the topic of lighting farts! It can be done. I was a sophomore at Western Michigan U. in Kalamazoo. I was living in the dormitory. The practice was to knock at the door before you entered. As I entered the room a friend of my mine did light a fart. He jumped out of his bed in a split second. He had underwear on because he knows of someone who lit a fart without his shorts and the hairs on the person's behind were shinged. I tried to emulate his fart lighting skills but I was unable to actually light a fart. Yes, lighting farts is a possibility.

Quark,
You sound like an expert on this stuff. Did you get a merit badge too? By the way shouldn't that have been inflatuated?
#19
That's good we need all farts on deck at the same time.
#20
I have worn a "respirator" for work. It was not something to help me breath, it was to filter the air, so that I didn't inhale asbestos.
And since Thom asked: "fete" is pronounced like Boba Fett's last name. You can probably pick up a dictionary anywhere you do a book signing.
#21
Angle brackets:
#22
DDay,
It's what I got a degree in (among other things) and why I originally went to live in NYC several lifetimes ago!
#23
Dang, they didn't show up. Maybe in reverse order: > <
#24
mathboy
#25
mathboy,
Thanks so much! I've got a new toy! LOL
#26
fete is a French word for holiday. "Pet" is French for fart. Mathboy, the "T" is silent in "Pet".
#27
Here's a wise, rational editorial by Rabbi Michael Lerner: "Has President Obama Abandoned You?"

As I scrolled down, a post said men are 14 years old. There is a saying that the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. The reason why men love wars is because nuclear weapons are the most expensive toys.
#29
Another good source for information is "The Network of Spiritual Progressives." Rabbi Lerner is co-founder with Sister Joan Chittister and Dr. Cornel West.

Here is some bio-information of the co-founders of NSP.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
Truth hurts sometimes. You obviously understand and agree DRichards. You are a smart and honest 14 yr old.
