I had some little teenybopper cashier apologize for not carding me(the sign says they will if you look under 40). I told her, “Meh, I AM over 40, and quite grateful for the fact considering the alternative.”
I’m so glad I’m off the market (by choice and chance), it just all looks likes so much work. Glad I didn’t have to start obsessing about it at 18.
Fred can’t really be an Obot — too adorable looking!
djmm
I,m wondering why you’re up at the crack of dawn. Also trying to keep up with a crazed Schnauzer who misses his mom terribly.
Continuing with the funny:
Found a way to curb my appetite today on MSN. Picture of a vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting and topped with crumbled bacon. Gag, all they need to do is deep fry to make it worse.
Ya know, I’m usually All In for the sweet/salty mix. But, no.
You’ve never had honey-glazed ham?
Yes, love it. I said I am usually in for the salt/sweet mix*, but I’m not loving the idea of bacon crumbles on a cupcake. I think it would probably taste good, but I can’t get past the visual.
*link sausage dipped in syrup, tin roof sundaes, and on and on
I just added a SUBSCRIBE To Posts link in the right sidebar. It’s Right above the LEDE RSS feed. The Headline is Email Subscription.
I didn’t know what would happen – I thought maybe I’d just get a note that a new post was up. But, it seems to be the whole thing.
We may not keep it but, I’d like to hear back – try it out and let me (or all of us) know if you like it.
Thanks!
Fred is obviously an Obot.
LOL! G’moring Fred, and Conflucians 🙂
Obama’s swelling ego
Was there ever a president as deeply enamored of himself as Barack Obama?
“I think that I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters,’’ he told campaign aides when he was running for the White House. “I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that . . . I’m a better political director than my political director.’’
At this rate, it won’t be long before the president’s ego is so inflated that it will require a ZIP code of its own.
Then again, how modest would any of us be if we were as magnificent as Obama? “I am well aware,’’ he told the UN General Assembly in September, “of the expectations that accompany my presidency around the world.’’

moring? That’s what happens pre-coffee. Off for java infusion (hold the Kool Aid).
Morgan Freeman played the POTUS at least once during the 90’s, and Dennis Haysbert was playing the President on “24” back in 2001.
Yeah, nobody ever imagined a black POTUS.
How many movies or televisions shows have featured a woman POTUS?
I can only think of one TV show off the top of my head (Commander in Chief) and one movie that had a female VPOTUS (The Contender)
I just checked, and the first movie featuring a black POTUS was The Man (1972) with James Earl Jones.
Wiki has a list:

Don’t forget, during the campaign when he thought his executive experience dwarfed Palin’s because he thought he was running his own campaign & its budget was bigger than the one of the state of Alaska – missed a few zeroes there
US Presidents bow to no one.
Except Obama
http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2009/11/024948.php
Wow..and he’s doing it wrong. WAAAY wrong. A) you don’t shake hands when bowing in Japan, and B) since he is on equal footing with the Japanese head of state, he is bowing far too deeply. GAWD.
We used to have protocol experts that prepped the POTUS and others government officials so they didn’t commit these kind of faux pas.
Not if he’s checking out the Emperor’s package to see who’s the most manly.
He has no idea what he’s doing wrong.
Yep, he’s clueless.
Obama’s protocol czar:
This is really sad. Do we have pics of former presidents greeting the Emperor?
Here’s Poppy Bush puking on the Japanese PM:
ROFL!
What is this obsession he has with bowing?! A bottom perhaps? Well…there is Michelle.
Maybe she tones up those arms with a little B&D?
Here he goes BOWING again except to the QUEEN! A Tale of Two Bows, starring Barack Obama
oops…Spammy caught me.
Don’t forget Glenn Close as VP in Air Force One!
For my birthday Thursday, the daughter gave me a copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
Oh, how well she knows me.
Next read ” Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters “.
Didn’t they paint Glenn Close as a wimpy weepy VP in the face of the crisis? It’s been a while since I saw it but it seems to me that was the case.
At least she wasn’t trying to murder the President.
Obama’s theme?

Pne comment about Fred the cat in your post: if he were a real B0bot, his greatest wish would have been not so much for a hamburger in his bowl as for the neighbor’s cat Sheeba to die. Of hunger.
First of all… no self respecting cat wants a goddam cheeseburger. A can of tuna, maybe. Some fresh chicken…. but not a cheeseburger.
If Fred did get a cheeseburger, and was stupid enough to eat it…. it may well kill him.
…… Oh yeah….. that is like the Obots. Isn’t it???

I am so tired of this egotist . The first Pacific president?
Nixon and Reagan were from California. I think that has a view of the Pacific ocean that is quite large.
People are being paid to write speeches, it is a shame that they are so overpaid and undereducated.
