    Your take on the issues is better than the real things.

    ROFL!!! I especially like the homeland security!! [in real life G W makes it all a joke...] But, this? This is true politicking!! Love it!!!

    Come on over to my place and read about the Headless Horseman and Icabod Crane from the legendary short story…it’s loaded with pictures and some historical facts today. See you there!!

    Happy Thursday 13.

    Says a lot without saying a lot. A picture is worth 1,000 words! I like Homeland Security best.

    I have felt since I first heard the Drill Baby Drill chant that it sounded like it was coming from a bunch of drunken sailors on the make.

    I just looove your sense of humor, Claudia. The drilling almost killed me :o )

    I love the pictures you chose to go with these key words and phrases. Just wonderful, and so creative. I didn’t think anything could make me smile about this election, and you managed it. Thanks!

    *snerk* Very clever. The market is sooo colorful!

  20. Vixen 9 October 2008 at 11:03 am Permalink

    You never disappoint me with your creativity and smarts, girl! This is wonderful. I hope we make it through soon…I don’t know how much more of this I can take!

    What if I don’t want to hang with them and I certainly don’t want to hang alone. Do I have another option?
