This week has got to have been hard on Some of US!
This week has got to have been hard on some of US!!

Enduring the never-ending orgy of maudlin grieving over an unelected president.

A third-rate president who pardonned a LIAR and a BOMBER of innocent people!

Turning on the TV for some of us was torture -- seeing nothing but endless drivel about how wonderful he was....and on and on and relentlessly on.

Some of us wondered if it would EVER end!!!

1. You know, you are able to click "hide thread"
rather than copycat another.

It may keep you from yelling a lot.

5. Speak for yourself...
Its been a great week until today...

The markets were closed for 4 days so I didn't loose any money,
I was off work on 2 weeks vacation and didn't have to deal with problems,
Its warm and I got to play with the dogs here and at the park,
The holidays are over so no more "family" events until next year,
When I had the TV on I was watching the Science channel or COPS,
and I was away from DU for over a week.

Like I said, speak for yourself, but I've had a GREAT week. :)

8. I'm sure it was hard for people FORCED AGAINST THEIR WILL to watch TV.
Others made it hard for themselves.


Was this you?

11. I thought that was someone else
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/28/nyregion/28veto.html

Mr. Ford, on Oct. 29, 1975, gave a speech denying federal assistance to spare New York from bankruptcy. The front page of The Daily News the next day read: “FORD TO CITY: DROP DEAD.”

Mr. Ford never explicitly said “drop dead.” Yet those two words, arguably the essence of his remarks as encapsulated in the immortal headline, would, as he later acknowledged, cost him the presidency the following year, after Jimmy Carter, nominated by the Democrats in New York, narrowly carried the state.

“It more than annoyed me because it wasn’t accurate,” he recalled years later. “It was very unfair.”

That view is echoed in an evolving version of historical revisionism. Only two months after saying or meaning or merely implying “drop dead” — or, perhaps, resorting to tough love by holding the city’s feet to the fire — Mr. Ford signed legislation to provide federal loans to the city, which were repaid with interest.

14. and yet the Senator from NY honored him?
Hmmm?

You still have to (other than screaming in CAPS) to explain Jimmy Carter's loveing tribute to Ford today.

And "I CAN'T SPEAK FOR HIM" is not an excuse.

Those poor goats. You're taking up all this time above the bridge and those poor little dears need to cross. tst, tst, tst. Such a selfish troll.

Yet you don't have the guts to post in the thread that you are so quick to mock.




Your posts remind me of this woman.
