Well, thanks for all the well-wishes. You’re all great, really.
I’d love to say that I’m feeling great but true to the normal way these things go, they hurt worse before they hurt less. Even with the pills I’m a-smartin’ today. It’s just easier to care about it less, is all.
Ah well, this too shall pass.

Here’s a little something that just came to me, S.T. Coleridge style.

I am speechless. Seriously I’m at a loss to understand what she’s using for brains. The idiocy implied in her utterances is bottomless-pit deep. If I were a Democrat I’d be ashamed of the Speaker.
Pelosi: GOP has had its day; confident Dems can pull together on health bill
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Sunday that Republicans have left their mark on the healthcare bill and should accept that the bill will go forward.
“They’ve had plenty of opportunity to make their voices heard,” she said on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday morning. “Bipartisanship is a two-way street. A bill can be bipartisan without bipartisan votes. Republicans have left their imprint.” - Kim Hart and Jordan Fabian
I do hope you have a speedy recovery, LK. Sorry for my absence, but school projects deluged me
‘s okay, Aggie. Honestly I’ve been kind of mind-wiped – as McGoo has so rightly pointed out, the pills take a large percentage off the top of your IQ. I’ve been communing with carrots and rutabagas and ended up feeling like I didn’t bring enough to the conversation – the turnips made fun of me.
Your school projects or kid-school-projects?
Kids’ school projects…. a diorama and two “brochures”: one a travel brochure for “The Island of the Blue Dolphins”, and the other a medical brochure for a genetic disease.
Kids were cleaning up the kitchen last night when I read that Pelosi quote out loud from Drudge. Activity came to a standstill. Little one pipes up, “But, mom, isn’t the point of ‘bipartisan’ to have both parties vote for it?”
My ten year old gets it, but the Speaker doesn’t…GAH!!!
The graphic is very apt, too! EU is not exactly the Xanadu they hoped for, is it??
Oh joy! You went down the path I intended… the fabled Xanadu of Kubla Khan.
The parallel being that the New EU should be a fantastical world but will end up being an utter drug-induced dream that the dreamers will awaken from – and be disillusioned by the reality and never able to reclaim the dream. Even their fantasy will be lost to them, in time.
And the Brits can’t blame this on the opium, either, the drug of choice being Political Correctness
Some pleasure dome this country turned out to be….
I’ve been communing with carrots and rutabagas …
Yep. Back when I was taking opiates for chronic pain I once took a bit too much and spent an informative hour listening to a drawer full of kitchen towels. I was understandably irritated by their Marseilles accent, though.
I think Pelosi’s gone epileptic or something – realizing that she’s gonna have to pay for her families booze & plane rides out of her own pocket now after the D’s lose the House this Fall.
Thing is, will the R’s be willing to Man Up and make the tough (and unpopular) decisions that are going to have to be made? Or are they going to try hiding behind the D’s skirts?
Both sides are hoping against hope that the other will be the ones to take the bullet.
French towels? I keep picturing fuzzy frayed towels with stains and faint odors who somehow manage to insult you with a sneer.
Reminds me of how someone described cats to me once: Small irritable french women in cheap fur coats.
I had my revenge by the way. All the mocking root vegetables are now giving their all to my soup stock. Cow stew… mmmm-mmmm.
French I could handle….try a bunch of Turkish towels. That will freak you out
Re Coleridge, I couldn’t eat enough opium to come up with that hallucinogenic shit Pelosi uttered. That is full-on batshit crazy.
BTW, I have what appears to be a real troll. Calls himself and his blog The Conservative Lie.
So far, he has complained only about my lack of intellectual depth.
Doesn’t he know that’s my greatest strength?
cb, I can only speak for myself when I say that I have shallow depths that have only barely been plumbed yet.
Real troll? Oh my…
Real trolls to not open the bidding with personal attacks. A professional troll will segue into it with a witty observation or a scathing rebuttal. Only trogs impugn wordsmithery in the first sentence.
