As I write this the G-8 Meeting in Camp David has ended and the heads of state and their military leaders are finishing up in Chicago…
The leaders have worked overtime…
The military General’s have done the same….
As has…
The Protestors in Chicago….
And the Chicago Police , The Illinois State Troopers and the Secret Service, State Department Diplomatic Protective people and Navy NCIS and Army CID agents…..
The bottom line from this is NO agreement in overland supplies for the Afghan War….
There IS Agreement that combat troops stand down next summer…
And last…
But MOST IMPORTNAT…..
Greece and the rest of Europe have made the last of austerity measures….
And Greece will probably NOT pay the banks the full amount of money they have pledged to….
Cory Booker is in the hot seat for reminding EVERYONE that he wants to go places and the money to do so is coming from the people who are defending
Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital….
Gas prices keep dropping around my way….
The Avengers keeps racking up box offices records…..
And John Boehner is back to getting ready to run a new theatre show on the budget ….
Stay tuned….
It’s May…..
Romney is close to Obama in the National Polling…
But way the heck behind him in electoral votes….

Bristol Palin’s baby daddy, levi, is flat broke
He burned thru a cool million
Levi Johnston is an idiot and a lowlife.
He never deserved that million to begin with.
Now that SE is back
I wonder if the so called “new” posters will appear
I’ve noticed that since he has been gone
We haven’t seen a one
hmmmmmm!!!!
I agree with ya on Levi
He should have took the time work it out with
His kids mother
Katie Couric on Wendy Williams
Promoting her book

James B, I’m expecting Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) to surive the recall election very easily on June 5th because the WI Dems are so disorganized.
So am I CD…..
And that’s NOT really good…
But it’s THEIR state….
My VP short list:
1. Rick Santorum
2. John McCain
3. Mike Huckabee
4. Rudy Giuliani
5. Jesse Ventura
Are those the candidates you want or the candidates that Romney is likely to pick? Or both?
Whatever
The only one on that last with any chance is Huckabee
Afternoon people
I don’t see any of those candidates likely to be in Romney’s top ten list. I suppose either Huckabee or Santorum might be in the top 20 though. Jesse Ventura isn’t in the top 1000.
SE
I will bet that
NO ONE
On your list gets picked
We went from rain to 80 degree’s!
My list is of choices I’d like to see picked as VP.
Hence the name-dropping of McCain and Ventura.
I’ve always asked myself this question: Could the USA under Obama soon become North Korea under Kim Jong-Un?

Afternoon my friends…..
Spent yesterday at work and and at a birthday party for my oldest son till the we hours of this morning….
Everybody hold on….
It’s gonna take a while to catch up here…
Did you have fun at your son’s party?
Yes I did!
On Christie being a Conservative….
Remember he’s the Governor of New Jersery…
A Northeastern state mostly….
He simply CANNOT go at things like a Southern GOPer….
Of course drivers could get fatter, drive longer, in unsafe trucks and make more money……Right?
More coming later along with a new Thread….
I’m carving out an article tracing the roots of, examining the effects of, and outright condemning the sexualization of women.
Does this mean you are no longer going to display the picture of an attractive woman next to your name?
And does this mean that you now regret asking James to do a survey on the sexiest newscasters?
Carry on
Ha, ha , ha
I will continue to display a photo of Erin Burnett, as I consider her one of my few heroes in life.
Sexualization is envisioning someone in various states of undress and getting hard off the thought.
I would never envision her, Brooke Baldwin, or my friend Laura that way.
I consider it like stabbing someone near and dear in the back.
I also don’t regret having James do that survey, as it did contribute something to the site.
And that is that.
SE
Before I see your piece I’m gonna say that men (some not all)
DO see women
One way
Which is of course is unfortunate
But I WILL point that some women realizing this
Do take advantage of the fact
This country STILL is one of one’s that
Has problems having women atain higher mangagment
Jobs
Of course you would never “envision someone in various states of undress”. Why would I possibly think otherwise?
Write your article. James will post it – whether it is insightful or not.
Ah, it’s snide remarks like those of the above poster’s that really make me glad I’m still here.
I make a point, and get an irrational response.
That’s how I know I’m still alive.
You calling someone
“irrational”
Gives new meaning to the word
“amusing”
