Aw man, thank you! Love you, lovemydog!

I decided to back off asking for votes because, sheesh, this thing could go on for weeks! And I don't want to annoy anybody. Besides, other people here have lots more critical needs for which to ask help. I may pick back up with it just to give everybody an update. ACIDIC is STILL holding its own in the Top Ten - Five weeks running by now! Mighty proud of them!

Thank you again, lovemydog!

Welcome to DU, Lagom!

Glad you're here! Great resource here! Thanks for posting it. Dayum - I look down the list of GOP wannabes and my lip just immediately curls. It's a whole lotta ick-making, if you ask me.



I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The ABSOLUTE WORST Democrat on earth is LIGHTYEARS better than the "best" the GOP can come up with.

This is a really wonderful letter.

She'll never see it or acknowledge the truths in it. A shame, really.

Hmmm... sounds like he's earned the Fucking Used Car Salesman Award of the day.

"He kept us safe." DERP. Um... do you mind if we check with the Jersey Girls (the 9/11 widows and their fellows) on that?

That must have been an incomplete - jebbie forgot the last two words in that slogan: "He kept us safe - My Ass."

Well how 'bout that.

Btw - it's great to see you here posting again, nadin! Missed you!

Indeed - we need our own version of the "Eleventh Commandment."

reagan always talked about that. But it made sense. And we should take note, too. reagan's was "Thou Shalt Not Speak Ill of Another republi-CON." OURS should be "Thou Shalt Not Speak Ill of Another Democrat."

Another thing I find irritating here is - the mention of "TWO royal families" - um.. let's see, are we talking the Clintons and the Clintons here? This wasn't JUST a diss at Hillary, people. It was a diss at the bushes, too. We should not be making it as though it was exclusively a diss of Hillary.

NO KIDDING!!! By the time California gets to vote, everything's already been decided.

But they sure want our money, don't they? They only come out here to turn us upside down, hang us by the ankles, and shake us til our pockets empty onto the floor.

That's why I think California should have the FIRST primary. We're the biggest, most populous state. More Californians are affected by ANYTHING that goes on in Washington than the population of ANY other state in the union. Just by the numbers. Our mushrooming population includes the fastest-growing Latino population in the country, and you know that is a trend that won't start shrinking anytime soon. We have the largest Congressional delegation and the largest haul of Electoral College votes. WE should go first.

And why should the sparcely-populated mostly-rural states get to speak first and with the loudest voices? Why are the urban areas, with HUGE populations by comparison, shoved to the back of the line? Cities are where the need is, and where the numbers are. Cities are the cutting edge of evolution, progress, new ideas, and change. And seems to me THAT'S what should go first.

Missed this til Sunday evening. Took it pretty easy all weekend. I needed that.

Walked the dog. Ate. Slept. Had a few phone calls. Voted for the band a bunch. DU helped me keep that going a couple of weeks ago - I LOVE DU!!!!

All GREAT ones! Yet AGAIN!!!

Dang! You really know how to pick 'em, SCE!

I love the "she ran out of toner" one and also - "then he threw up on the new bedspread" one! ROFL!!!!!! SO funny I posted those on Facebook!

So have I. He's always been "one of us" - just another guy, human, approachable, genuine.

Very lovable and human and authentic. He always has been. You kinda can't NOT love him, deep down. I feel so sad to think what the Biden family is going through at the moment. NO parent wants to face this. Not ever.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
