Holy S**t, the sky is falling!
I signed on for the first time today at 3:00 pm pacific time, and my jaw hit the keyboard when I saw the homepage!

Holy s**t, I have never seen an administration so desperate to "get the message out" and clear their name as this one is right now. Fake editorials, Fitz is closing in, Iraq continues to spiral downwards, just bad news coming from every direction.

How his approval rating stays anywhere near 10% is beyond me, let alone an approval rating that hovers around 30-something. Are people in this country really that reluctant to admit their mistake, or what the hell is going on? I can't wait for the s**t to hit the fan, and boy is it going to be messy! The average American won't be ready to hear the accusations that come out when Fitz is done with his investigation.

Anyone else as excited as I am? :evilgrin:

1. That's not the sky falling, dear.
That's the blazing light of an oncoming train at the end of the tunnel.

18. Cute post, but would you believe I saw a poll
that said 39% of people don't even know who Rove is. Unbelievable, I don't think half the fricking country even watches the news anymore......I think they believe it to be just too depressing....

3. 90% of the country ignores bad news and won't work to change it
TV and beer and drugs and computer games are their tonic, and unless bad news affects them directly, they refuse to acknowledge it. Bush sucks, wow first I've heard that. Karl Rove, who's he? Does he make cheese? Condi Rice, is she related to Uncle Ben's? And on and on and on, they are blissfully ignorant. WE and the Freepers are the exception, and WE must prevail.

16. OK, so since you're here you can keep the beer and drugs
but I bet you can touch your nose and not your ass when asked to touch your nose and count your toes. freepers wear clothes to fit two asses.

4. I was excited last year until election day...
and we had the carpet pulled out from under our feet.

I am eagerly anticipating Fitzmas Day, but I will be cautious until the fat indictment sings.

5. Oh, god, yes!
I can't wait! I'm so excited that I can barely sleep. I'm anxiously awaiting this announcement because I have some LONG, LONG overdue "I told ya' so's" that I want to communicate. You know what they say about paybacks.

7. Start poppin the popcorn
It's gonna get interesting. Maybe even lead to that most fervently awaited event of our time, the long-anticipated public meltdown of chimpy complete with babbling, crying for mommy and finally passing out at the podium. Nah you can tell, I'm not excited.

8. I want to see tough guy Rumsfeld

15. Popcorn, hell..............
I've got me some gen-u-wine French tapenade, so I am picking up some French bread and champagne(perhaps an American brand). We're gonna have us a first-class celebration here. I am betting Halloween Monday, or distant possibility of Friday the 28th.

Says Fitz to Bushco: "BOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Scared ya, huh? Now take a gander at these." ........as he hands out stacks of indictments......

10. Which is a clear indication as to why the trolls are out in full force
lately, even coming close to outing thier slimy slithering personas some have kept for far too long.

12. Excited? Excited you ask???
We need a better word. My excitement is the Sunami, Katrina, and the friggen earthquake wrapped in one! Part of me is very wary of disappointment (once again), but the other part is giddy as a cowboy with a brand new pair of store bought boots!

14. It is very hard for people ...
... to admit mistakes, generally, and it's especially hard when those mistakes have led to thousands of American deaths. The * admin. is a disaster, and anyone who pays attention knows it. This makes it even harder to admit ... because it was such a BIG mistake.

19. Interesting timing. There's a cartoon-movie "Chicken Little" coming out
soon...that on the billboards announces the 'sky really is falling!' Kind of funny since the chicken in the pic has its head down between its legs, hiding. Not unlike certain Admins...

20. I am! Today I casually said to a friend
(who gets an "oil check" and who is a staunch supporter of Junior), "There's gonna be an earthquake coming next week..."

She gets her news solely from the TeeVee, so, frankly, I didn't think she'd actually get my drift. But, to my surprise, she said quickly, "I don't want to talk about it!"

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
