:hi: :hug:
How are you and the fuzz crew doing tonight? Big :hug:s and lots of ear scratches and tummy rubs from me, Edie and the NJ boyz! Edie snuck out today while Mr. smokey was paying for a pizza delivery. Just when we were about to start crying so we couldn't find her, my neighbor knocked on our door to let us know where she was. We were so relieved!

She only gets 500 cuddles tonight instead of her usual 1000.

we had to pull her out with a Swiffer pole. She's just fine now and I hope she's learned her lesson.

so glad little miss is back!

:bounce:

contained. There's a unwritten understanding among pet owners in our building that we keep any furry things we find wandering in the halls safe until we can find where there supposed to be.

of your building. You must have awesome neighbors. What a relief for you and Mr. smokey.

:hug:

(at 10 years, Mr. smokey and I are the short-timers among them) and look out for each other.

that's great.

:hi: :hug:

Oh, I'm so relieved that you got Edie back! OMG. They are sneaky little varmints!

Many :hug:s and kisses to the NJ boyz and Edie, don't don't do that again, you'll give us all heart failure! :loveya:

Hugs from Sesame and the CA gang!

Did you hear all the Earth Wind & Fire songs! :woohoo:

I think Edie's learned her lesson, she was really scared!

You stay in the house little girl!

The Liberal Lion himself and I have tears in my eyes yet again, lol! My eyes look like hell these days. :crazy:

Hoping that all is well with you! :hi: :hug:

make it to Denver. I wanted to throw something at my TV when I saw Marie Shriver there - SHE should be banned from the convention for being married to Asswipe Ahnold.

I noticed that she and Caroline weren't sitting together. Why she stays married to that asswipe I'll never understand.

:hi:

I hope that Charlie's first day of college went well. Maybe he wasn't as nervous as I was on my first day. :)

Thanks, he called earlier, asked some questions then chatted away...he sounded okay, and that made me feel a little better. You did fine and I'm sure that he'll be fine, too, right? right?, lol. :hi: :hug:

I just watched Caroline, The Tribute, and the Liberal Lion and I have tears in my eyes again.

:hi::hug::loveya:

Lovin the graphic Holmes, just lovin' it. :)

:hi: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

:hi::hug::pals:

:loveya:

It took me 45 minutes to find one that my firm would allow us to download.

I'm glad you found one you could watch. I have the TV on C-span, but the volume's muted. I'm just not that excited this year. :( I wish I were.

I'm not nearly as up for this as if it would have been Edwards. But it wasn't meant to be so I'll support BO and Biden until they piss me off so bad that I hate them as much as I hate Pelosi, who turned her back on CA and stabbed us all in the back, as well as the entire country.

But I like to party with the D's !!! More Earth Wind & Fire! :woohoo:

I'm a really good dancer (freestyle - if there are steps involved, I'm hopeless) maybe I should hire myself out to the DNC to provide delegate dance training so they don't look quite so goofy on C-Span.

step in front of the guys, they'e really bad! :rofl:

:rofl:

:rofl:

:hi: CaseyBuck
:hi: Everyone!!

Doing the convention thing, but had to be here too.
Smokey, watch out for those pizza deliveries... never know when you'll run into a LandShark!1!

:rofl:

oh... sorry

:hi: :hug:

:rofl: :rofl:
I've got lots of doctors, what I need is a new computer!!111!!

:hi: :hug:
I thought it was candy-grams you had to watch out for :rofl:

Lord of the Credit Cards

He chose who?

Joe BIDEN?????

Why aren't Progressives or Liberal Democrats or even "mainstream" Democrats shrieking, rioting, setting themselves on fire, about this insane choice? Was there any resistance in the Democratic Party (other than among the Clinton True Believers; they wanted their "gal" in the VP slot so they could experience, finally, catharsis) to this selection? Any at all? Apparently not, and the absence of that resistance is a fairly accurate gauge of the degree to which the Democratic Party has died, passed away, evaporated in a steamy mist of defeatist miasma. It is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Corporate America - like the Republican Party - only not yet as murderous, as foul, as the other Corporate Owned Party. Not quite. Close, though. So, wave the white flag, boys and girls; it's all over but the Benediction as four days from now the delegates shuffle from the Pepsi Center and Invesco Field and all the various gatherings sponsored and paid for by those Blessed Corporate Souls such as AT&T, Comcast, General Motors, Microsoft, Motorola and on and on and on . . .

Okay. So, who's to argue with the DLC? It's their party, their presidential candidate, and their vice-presidential candidate. Pardon moi, theirs and Corporate America's. Which makes the selection of Joe Biden perfect. Nauseatingly, gaggingly, perfect.

Who remembers or cares about Biden's breathless cheer-leading (and vote) for the passage of the (ha-ha) "Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005?" Who cares about Biden's relentless support of this ugly, anti-consumer act and the seemingly limitless financial support Biden has received from the credit card behemoth MBNA - now subsumed into the financial snake pit known as the Bank of America? From Wikipedia:
MBNA was one of the prime movers in lobbying for the passage of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, which took 11 years and millions of dollars spent on lobbying before the act was finally passed when 15 Democrats (all of whom had received campaign contributions from MBNA, notably Joseph Biden, (D-DE) $147,700) joined with their Republican colleagues to sign it into law.

MBNA was one of the companies mentioned on a 2004 Frontline PBS special about unfair business practices by credit card companies. Some industry practices which MBNA possibly engaged in previously included doubling or tripling of interest rates, shifting billing due dates/payment cycles monthly, and raising rates for customers whose payments were a day or two late which earned it the sobriquet, Misrepresentation Bank of North America . . .

It is a well known banking industry fact that after the MBNA / Bank of America deal of January 1, 2006, a number of MBNA execs were booted off the BofA board of directors due to their fears that their unethical practices could result in criminal charges against them under a number of statutes including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. (For a thorough understanding of this legislation, Hunter, a diarist at Daily Kos nailed it two-plus years ago. Go here).

Oh, my. "Criminal charges . . ." And, Biden right in there with the scum. Glomming up the money, shuffling back and forth on the train nightly (so we are now told) between D.C. and Delaware like a ghost, a lost soul . . . sigh . . . alone with the darkness, and the passing lights of small town America whizzing past . . . time to reflect on the damage about to be done to what was left of working-class America as a result of his support for this vile bill . . . or not reflecting . . . who really knows? . . . and this filthy piece of legislation, yet another bullet-proof slab of Corporate Protection at the expense of real people . . . oh, well . . . sigh . . .

So . . . now? Well, now Senator Biden is the Vice Presidential Nominee of the Democratic Party! The running mate of our Great Agent of Change, Barack Obama!!! And we should be - we must be - happy! We have a Winning Team! A New Dawn is coming! Vote Democratic! Vote Obama/Biden! Vote for Change!!!! Blessed Change!

And, there's so much more about Senator Biden's legislative efforts that brings smiles to the faces of the Blessed Corporate Overlords who have funded so much of the Democratic Party, who have written check after check, sometimes even more (gasp!) than to Republicans, who now can relax, don't worry, it's been handled, all is okay, we're home free, Bush is on the way out, the new "Bush" is in the wings. Obama/Biden! A vote for change! Change We Can Believe In!!!!!!

God Bless Us, Everyone!

"Thing O'Donnell' (sp?), Pat Buchannon, and Eugene Robinson. Whora and Pat were yapping about how Obama really is the elitist and it shouldn't be held against a person who can't recall the number of houses he has. Rachel is sitting beside Pat, and he is red faced trying to deflect everything and attack the Obamas.

I'm sending strength vibes your way Rachel.

Can we hold THAT against him?

but I missed this trip to Starbucks, but I'll gladly add it to my list. :bounce:

:hi: :hug:

How are you? Hope that all is well with you. I just finished watching Michelle Obama's address to the convention, after watching Caroline, The Tribute, and the Liberal Lion himself. I don't usually watch the convention, but I did want to see these 2 events.

Charlie is at MTSU, so I could just be trying to distract myself from our new reality. :hi: :hug:

Oh I know, flame me. I'm tacky and petty. But she looks very nice! Save the big flowers for trips to Hawaii. Meow. pffttt
