10. I don't know if I can bring myself to listen to it.
Afraid I'll throw stuff at the teevee.

Maybe I should get MrSG to tie me to a chair so I can't get my hands on anything. :crazy:

Looks like he's not in LA yet, though. Oh well!

And did you check this out?

I don't think they'll be near each other, unfortunately. And of course they'd put her on with Dan. :mad: Although he lurves her. :loveya:

42. She probably did.
No other woman is allowed to TOUCH him now, you know. Or maybe she can so long as she holds a handkerchief in one hand and he grabs the other end. Otherwise, he's Forbidden To Touch Females Other Than His Girlfriend.

After all, it's the last one, which is worth celebrating.

17. I too was wondering if they were "faking it"
Edited on Mon Jan-28-08 08:12 PM by BerryBush
but then I wondered why they would bother. They've never lied about where he was before.

Enhanced the background he had to work with, yes. But not made it look on purpose like he was elsewhere.

Then again, this IS Stephanie Miller we're talking about.

Edit: So much for that idea. If Keith isn't in New York, wherever he is, Jonathan Alter is there with him!

57. Watch the boats .... feed the gulls
And eat some fried clams.

Years ago my brother, a friend, my mom, and I went to Lincoln park.

We dug a ton of gooey ducks (large clams) and left in the back yard in a
pail .... we woke in the morning and the gulls had found the clams ....
they opened them by dropping them on our street .... all over.

My mom said that we will not talk about the clams for awhile :rofl:

69. No a large clam dropped from 40 feet made quite an impact on a Chevy
Pieces of shell were up and down two blocks.

Some old guy stopped by and mentioned that you should keep any shellfish
in the garage .... my Dad thanked him .... he was glad because he did not like
fish.



time for me to go ... I can't stomach that jerk! 5 more killed in Iraq today.

23. Hillary what a vulture

Both FL and MI were out of bounds for everybody .... she will do or say anything.

***********************************************************************
Just a side post ..... Bush can write better than William F Buckley?

George W Bush is a gifted writer ...... It was on Fox ..... it must be true.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,325728,00.html

• McGurn, a veteran of the Wall Street Journal and National Review, also told us that President Bush is the most exacting editor he’s every had.

“I've been edited by Bob Bartley and Bill Buckley and the president is by far the most thorough and sharp editor.”
