Calm down.
I thought we all moved on. I have moved on and now I see the remnants of the primary sneaking through. I think it is best if we all stepped back took a deep breath and calmed down.

:hug:

Never mind. Anybody need a tire pressure gauge? I bought half a million of them."

7. LOL! I hear he bought that on a series of tubes.
Though it might have been from the back of a truck.

9. Thank God high gas prices might put that truck off the road
before Senator Stevens buys some other ridiculous item.

3. No, it's, 'Go crazy, bitches!'
I know you mean well, but telling people to 'calm down' or 'chill' tends to produce the exact opposite effect. Let's face it, things are not going to calm down until we see President Obama give his victory speech in November.

4. Our Lady Peace
Edited on Thu Aug-07-08 12:07 AM by ccharles000
I think it is time for DU to be at peace and stop attacking Hillary.

How far is it to peace, the piper sighed,
The solitary, sweating as he paused.
Asphalt the noon; the ravens, terrified,
Fled carrion thunder that percussion caused.

The envelope of earth was powder loud;
The taut wings shivered, driven at the sun.
The piper put his pipe away and bowed.
Not here, he said. I hunt the love-cool one,

The dancer with the clipped hair. Where is she?
We shook our heads, parting for him to pass.
Our lady was of no such trim degree,
And none of us had seen her face, alas.

She was the very ridges that we must scale,
Securing the rough top. And how she smiled
Was how our strength would issue. Not to fail
Was having her, gigantic, undefiled,

For homely goddess, big as the world that burned,
Grandmother and taskmistress, frild and town.
We let the stranger go; but when we turned
Our lady lived, fierce in each other's frown.

12. Superman's Dead
Do you worry you're not liked
How long 'til you break?
You're happy 'cause you smile
But how much can you fake?
An ordinary boy
An ordinary name
But ordinary's just not good enough today

Alone I'm thinking
Why is Superman dead?
Why is it in my head?
Why, we'll just laugh instead
You worry 'bout the weather and whether or not you should hate

Are you worried about your faith?
Kneel down and obey
You're happy you're in love
You need someone to hate
An ordinary girl
An ordinary face
But ordinary's just not good enough today

Doesn't anybody ever know
That the world's a subway?

5. We can argue and fight all we want
You are right with the calm down thing though, my mantra is and has been "Stress is the enemy" Conquer that and most other stuff falls in line.

18. The Media started drumming up the Clinton Drama the Day it came out
that Obama is winning the white working class vote by 10 pts

Please don't let them pull our collective strings
we don't have to become angry all over again

19. The media didn't start a rumor about clinton putting her name in for nomination
Hillary said it. It's a reality.

Onoy Hillary can stop this thing.

20. It's my understanding that this is common practice
I am not a Hillary supporter and never Have been
but I just feel like the Media is trying to start a fire where there was no smoke.
And it started the day Obama got teh working white class vote by 10pts in the polls over McCain
