I've been watching SNL these past several weeks for the first time in a long time just to see the opening sketches, they've been hilarious, and it was great to have Ferrell back as Bush on Thursday. Congratulations on your Anniversary. Start planning now for number 20, you better make it a big one.

Replying to: laurasdada (Oct 26, 2008 4:16 pm) I believe I had indicated a couple years ago that I am also from southern New England (transplanted in the Midwest many years ago), but I really do miss the fall colors there. There is nothing like it in the world. BTW, for you and Clembo, the Patriots look rather solid all of a sudden. Cassel is improving with each game and the defense seems to have gotten its act together. It is obviously the GENIUS of Belichick that is responsible for the resurrection. Watch them reach the Super Bowl again. Too bad about the Sox. They almost made another miracle comeback against the young Rays. The Series would have had a lot more national appeal with the Red Sox in it. As it stands now, the TV ratings are rather atrocious. I do feel confident that the Red Sox will be contenders every year now. Everything changed since 2004.

Replying to: tagman (Oct 25, 2008 6:51 am) BTW, McCain's military accomplishments and experience weren't exactly successful... he failed and was captured... and his experience was one of torture, which certainly impacted his mind. Unless he's been through a lot of therapy and anger management, and treatment for PTSD, I wouldn't trust his emotional nature to have his finger on the "red button". You saw him during the debates, clenching his jaw... He is a ticking time bomb. No thanks. TM Sorry to join this particular conversation late, but you hit the nail dead-center and square on the head with that one, tagman! I'm absolutely horrified at the thought that some grumpy old man with a chip on his shoulder could be the next president. We already had that with Bush Sr. We don't need it again.  Not only will nothing be done for the economy, but also we'll be dragged through so many wars/skermishes that the U.S. will be gauranteed to fall.

Replying to: tayl0rd (Oct 27, 2008 9:05 am) Obama: You'll be a really good vice-presidential candidate this time around but you lack any, as I repeat, ANY executive experience to run the country. Not to mention the most powerful and influential country in the world. I would vote for Biden/Obama in a heart beat but Obama/Biden? Sorry... Change? Please stop with that crap... Maybe you can fool some desperate and ill-educated voters but you ain't gonna fool the smart ones. We all know that it's going to be business as usual after Obama gets elected. If my life gets better and I see that you are leading the country into prosperity in the next 4 years then I'll admit that I was wrong and cast a vote for Mr. Obama in the 2012 election. McCain: Really like him for the tough character and based on his experience both as a politician and military COMMANDER I have no doubt that he can provide a steady force in a time of turmoil. However, I can't see myself voting for him based on Bush's performance in the past 4 years. I know I am punishing him for the wrong reason but he is representing the Republican party in this election and that party needs to be punished for what it has done. Don't get me wrong, I was not against invading Iraq, as matter of fact I still support that decision today (That's why I voted for Bush back in 2004 and I am not proud of it...). What I am against is what we did AFTER the invasion. If all you want is to get rid of Hussein then mission accomplished, let's get them boys home. If all you want is the oil then let's grab them, at this time I don't give a rat's a** on what other countries would say (we told you to side with us at the beginning so now shut up) all I want is cheap gas for the Americans so OPEC couldn't hold us as hostages. Instead of either of the two scenarios we are now losing American lives over there for nothing while back home the gas is still over $3 a gallon. Bush, you effed up! Pure and simple. Am I going to vote this time? Probably not. Why? One, because California is a blue state anyways so it really doesn't matter. Two, I have reasons good enough to make me NOT voting for both candidates. Just my two cents.

Replying to: tayl0rd (Oct 27, 2008 9:05 am) Bill Maher had a great line on Friday, John Kennedy was tested in an international crisis and he won that crisis because he was smart, and level headed. If John McCain had been president during those 13 days in 1962, none of us would be here because he would've bombed the missile sites in Cuba, and that would be the end of everything. People also seem to forget that John McCain would be the oldest president ever elected, and the percentage of VPs having to take over in this country is something like 1 in 4. Sarah Palin isn't qualified to manage a Wal-mart. Barack has shown over the last two years that he's qualified, and has the judgement and temperment to be President. Barack knew that the war in Iraq would be a needless disaster, while McCain was on an aircraft carrier weeks after September 11th shouting "Next Stop, Baghdad!" Barack's campaign has been BY FAR the best run this time, of both parties. His campaign beat the Clintons, and John McCain's campaign has been an utter disaster. Captain "suspend my campaign" to race back to Washington said absolutely nothing in the meeting he had to be back there for. He sat there and said nothing because he knows nothing about the economy. We can't afford that in this climate. The biggest executive decision a candidate makes is their choice of VP. I'd like for the McCain supporters to tell me that the choice of Sarah Palin was a good one, not some last second, Bush style "gut move" because Rove told him he couldn't have Joe Lieberman. Tell me she's qualified to take over the toughest job in the world. |

Replying to: tagman (Oct 27, 2008 9:16 am) Ha-ha-a, that depends a lot on the celebrants!  My wife and I are quite eccentric in this respect. We have never celebrated round big wedding anniversaries or, by the same token, St. Valentine's or Father's/Mother's Days. We do celebrate wedding anniversaries every year but specially if the year is linked with other significant mark to our lives. So for instance, this year has been our 34 wedding anniversary and wife's birthday 60th anniversary. Big private celebration as a result, since it has been nice getting 60 still together after a long while from the wedding. My bonus being that my wife is still incredibly well fitted and good looking at her age.  (Remaining like this was part of the wedding agreement, however.) Trying to escape from routine, I believe. Regards, Jose
