Hey heidi heitkamp - buh-bye!

Next time your campaign calls me asking for a donation, I will tell them that the money I would have contributed to you will go to the Sandy Hook anti-gun campaign.

No soup for YOU, heidi. I'm now officially gone.

louie gohmert again. SHEESH!!! WHY does ANYONE still pay any attention to this dingdong?

Makes me wonder, seriously, about the mental acuity of the people in that particular district. He's not the first certified idiot, or creep, or asshole, to come out of Texas. I guess he's just one of the most recent.

I agree with you. Not my idea of pretty.

That's a comment that often flies around the room at casa de calimary when some of these bimbos (many of them tend to be refugees from the last decade of bush/cheney) find their way to cable TV news. And they're presumed to have some sort of authority and credibility because they were once administration insiders. That's what helped diane sawyer succeed after working in the nixon White House. fran townsend probably has a good agent.

Here. Those ideas are STILL good.

And they STILL work. When nobody has any money to spend to stoke the economy in the private sector (and those who do insist on hoarding it and not allowing it to circulate), then the only entity able to spend any money is the public sector. Government.

Well I think it makes a damn good point.

And if nothing else - look at how much time the other people in the office had - to get away - while this guy had to stop and reload. I bet EVERY parent mourning a lost child from Sandy Hook thinks about that every day.

Hey, I got it multiple times. I know what you are going through.

When your name is Mary, you get it all over, and from all over, because there seem to be Mary songs from every generation! And that's aside from the nursery rhymes and the greetings heard regularly on the "Mary Tyler Moore" show.

I sympathize!

I've come to expect it, unfortunately. "Let me guess: he's a republi-CON."

I can't tell you how many times I've said that too my husband while we're watching the news or some such. And every single damn time, I'm correct. Although sometimes it's "let me guess: she's a republi-CON." And in those cases I'm calling it accurately also.

Pretty pathetic, isn't it? THEY're pretty pathetic, aren't they!

So if objectification is the thing, maybe we should consider the proper corollary to be "Why children and dicks, of course." And THAT turns out to be calling it accurately too.

It does make the eyebrows go up, doesn't it, SoCalDem! I'm with ya.

I'm gonna be 60 in a month. OMG! I just realized - EXACTLY a month! Nobody I know has ever expressed that wish, either, although no one can know what people are thinking. I certainly haven't imagined making my own. I'm a crafter but that's a little much. Never have been all that inclined toward the wonders of blowing stuff up.

Damn straight! Nominated NOW!

Remember romney complaining about President Obama - how annoying and expensive to want to add more firefighters and police, and teachers. Naaah, we don't need 'em. More from the "you're on yer own 'cause I don't wanna have to pay for it" society.

I think we should ship all those folks to Somalia and let them build their brave new "you're on yer own" world there. And they can revel in their no taxes/no services/no government/but all the guns you can eat and all the robber barons and pirates you can shoot at, to their - uh - well, I was going to say "to their hearts' content," but I sometimes find it difficult to believe that people who believe this stuff actually HAVE hearts.

"Heart like a BB." My mom used to say that a lot. Sure fits the grover norquist/ayn rand/paul ryan crowd.

And statements like that ought to be REPEATED!!! To kind of catapult the propaganda...

Let's tell it like it IS, and call them what they ARE:

As usual, the so-called pro-life party prioritizes the wishes of the death dealers over the needs of the living.

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.
