Held Up By Hillary

When somebody robs a bank wearing a Monica mask, call me.

@nflfoghorn

:lol:

Did you ever see the Movie Point Break?

Outside of surfing and sky diving bank robbers, they wear presidents masks and the one with the Nixon mask stands up on a table every time saying “I am not a crook”.

(That was the only part of the movie I liked, it was moronic.)

Say “Yes We Can” everybody!!
.
Our Unions, and how well they protect us all.
.
Yea right!

Selfish Sanitation Department bosses from the snow-slammed outer boroughs ordered their drivers to snarl the blizzard cleanup to protest budget cuts — a disastrous move that turned streets into a minefield for emergency-services vehicles, The Post has learned.

.
Exactly why people like Andy Stern and that big fat buffoon with the AFL-CIO need to be run out of this country on a rail. Enough of the Unions, unionizing our government employees.

“Sanitation management and the union deny any shenanigans by workers, most of whom have been on brutal 12-hour shifts.
…

Yet even as he spoke, as thousands of New Yorkers remained snowbound, dozens of plows sat idle in Sanitation Department garages.

“My heart was bleeding when I saw it,” said Ben Abraham, 30, who walked by the garage on 19th Ave. in Borough Park, Brooklyn, where side streets were unplowed.

“You have people’s lives being threatened by this and there’s 30 trucks just sitting there!” he said. “The mayor keeps saying the city is doing whatever they can. This is not doing whatever you can.”

Doherty acknowledged manpower shortages. “We have more trucks available than we have people working on certain shifts,” he said.

The sanitation union warned in October that cuts would leave the department unable to handle a big snowstorm.”

.
“By 4 p.m. Sunday, several inches of snow had accumulated when Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg made a plea for help at his first news conference about the escalating storm: he asked people with heavy equipment and other kinds of towing machinery to call the city’s 311 line to register for work. A full day had gone by since the blizzard warning had been issued.

This week, as Mr. Bloomberg conceded that the city’s response to the blizzard had been inadequate, many theories, in both shouts and whispers, have been offered to explain the shortcomings: the Sanitation Department had undergone staffing cuts; the ferocity of the snowfall and the power of the accompanying winds had presented extraordinary challenges to the city’s snow plows; angry sanitation workers had sabotaged the efforts; city residents had ignored common sense and wound up stranding their cars in streets across the five boroughs. ”

Sorry, Rusty.
.
The truth is that the sanitation union announced in advance that they did not have the needed manpower to handle major storms, worked their as es off and still couldn’t get the job done quickly.
.
Then wingnuts like blame the union since they announced it in advance that there might be a problem.
.
Please explain the empty trucks while the union workers were doing 12 hour shifts if the union was slowing things down.
.
This is a lesson to Republicans: hire fewer people to do the job, it gets done s l o w l y.
.
You get what you pay for.

:)
Bill might be the bandit. Yikes.

Nice misdirection. Who exactly has claimed that Hillary is a man? That is obviously Hillary. She’s upset that Bill is raking in millions in speaking fees so she’s robbing banks to close the income gap. Those Clintons have NO morals. Millions of Americans are living on unemployment checks and she’s stealing money to supplement an already generous federal income? They make me sick.

Last post addressed this, RustFreep, but I’ll bite: You’re saying it’s the fault of unions for the snow non-removal?

My God! She killed Vince Foster for the cash in his wallet and his credit cards. Why is she still running around loose? What’s next for Hillary? Stealing Social Security checks out of mailboxes?

Michael Jackson refused to sell his share of the Beatles songs to Hillary and died under mysterious circumstances. Why haven’t we read anything about that?

…and the tragic results, too?

Today is payday. If my check isn’t there Hillary is going to hear about it.

“Enough of the Unions, unionizing our government employees”
.
They’re standing up for workers’ rights while taking the workers’ dues. Begone with them, by God!

I wonder what will happen when we get a REAL storm this winter. In my relatively few years I’ve gone through storms where the top halves of trees have been frozen and sheared throughout the state and power lost for a week during winter, as well as storms that brought snow above my eyeballs where i was STILL expected to drive 30 miles to get to work. That’s life in “red-state” New York.

You did…you just didn’t know it. Play the ’98 “vast right-wing conspiracy” interview backwards and she says “I buried Paul. Heeee-hee.”

“They’re standing up for workers’ rights while taking the workers’ dues. Begone with them, by God”

.
Dam my public school education! I must have missed that bankrupting state, city and local government treasuries was a workers right

“The truth is that the sanitation union announced in advance that they did not have the needed manpower to handle major storms, worked their as es off and still couldn’t get the job done”
.
Every cut to a union is draconian. They are just poor hard working folks looking for an even break. Click your heels 3 times Dorothy. Seems there are folks who heard differently. Must be wing nut liars because liberal never lie—- except when their lips are moving

.
The snitches “didn’t want to be identified because they were afraid of retaliation,” Halloran said. “They were told [by supervisors] to take off routes [and] not do the plowing of some of the major arteries in a timely manner. They were told to make the mayor pay for the layoffs, the reductions in rank for the supervisors, shrinking the rolls of the rank-and-file.”

New York’s Strongest used a variety of tactics to drag out the plowing process — and pad overtime checks — which included keeping plows slightly higher than the roadways and skipping over streets along their routes, the sources said.

The snow-removal snitches said they were told to keep their plows off most streets and to wait for orders before attacking the accumulating piles of snow.

They said crews normally would have been more aggressive in com bating a fierce, fast-moving bliz zard like the one that barreled in on Sunday and blew out the next morning.

Thanks sacredh for bringing us back to the point of this post. It is funny.

Today is payday i.e. the day Scardey picks up his welfare check.

“Bill might be the bandit.”

Well after Monica, Hillary did tell him to get a new hobby!

“New York’s Strongest used a variety of tactics to drag out the plowing process — and pad overtime checks — which included keeping plows slightly higher than the roadways and skipping over streets along their routes, the sources said.”
.
I live on a major artery.
.
It didn’t happen that way.
.
“”They were told [by supervisors] to take off routes [and] not do the plowing of some of the major arteries in a timely manner…”"
.
Well, the managers are non-union.
.
If this were real, their is an entire police department which does nothing outside of work for the Department of Sanitation.
.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_Department_of_Sanitation_Police
.
So, why didn’t they know about this?
.
It’s a small, low prestige group of peace officers dying for a nice, big bust. This would be career making.
.
Yet only the conservative NY Post knows about this.
.
Sure.
.
BTW: Fewer employees = less work done per hour. So, if an agency is not bloated, as DSNY was not, what happens when they get cut? Hmmmmmmmmmm?

Today is the day Husein goes back to the mental ward after a holiday furlow.
.
Remember to take your medication, Husein and, please do forget to write.
.
Please.

Patti, I actually wish you the very best for the new year. As you are morbidly obese and have little time left if it makes you happy to spend all day, every day on the computer then I hope your final days are fulfilling to you.

“Yeah, I hope you die soon, too!”
.
WHAT???
.
I’ve seen better retorts on my 12-year-old daughter’s Facebook page.

If your daughter has a D average then she is smarter than you. I certainly don’t hope Patti dies. I hope he loses 250 pounds so he is merely overweight rather than morbidly obese as he is now. His knowing that he has little time left has made him an angry, bitter and dejected man. His weight loss will help him physically and mentally which is what I would like to see. Patti, here’s wishing you a full recovery in 2011.

“Yet only the conservative NY Post knows about this”

.
You don’t knwo that is a fact. All you know is the NY Post is the only one who reported it and that is to be expected.

.
And what you will see over the next few days is the left media going into overdrive to rationalize what happened and protec the unions. Just like you

6′ 2″ and NEGATIVE 15 pounds?
.
I’d float off into the stratosphere.
.
Husein, you are very insane.

Freak,
.
Which makes more sense:
.
A) Under the noses of a 130 member internal police department as well as higher managers a citywide conspiracy not to do their jobs in an emergency occurs with having fewer people than trucks being a coincidence.
.
Or
.
B) Undermanned the dsny worked 12 hour shifts but could not keep up with the storm?
.
Considering I saw plows go by pushing snow 24/7 from my own home and you are in PA examining your colon with your face, I think I would know a little bit better than you.

Sure you’re 235 pounds. You’re using the wrong scale. The scale you’re using is kilograms. There is still hope for you yet Patti. I’m hoping for you.

“130 member internal police department as well as higher managers a citywide”
.
And these folks were located where exactly? And were these the same guys who watched the Ford Explorer being destroyed by NYC work crews? No they didn’t see that either. Hmmm seems t be a pattern.

.
“I saw plows go by pushing snow 24/7″

24/7 eh? Let’s see today is the 30th it started to snow on the 26th. So these hard working souls were plowing 4 days before the snow fell No wonder they were tired.

The Sanitation Police were out on the same shifts as the sanitation crews.
.
Fine.
.
They ran 12 hour shifts for 60 hours, not for a week.
.
The point is, right here, while in bed, while down the street getting coffee – everywhere except for when I am in the shower or taking a crap, I am either outdoors or near a window and during that time I heard and saw trucks pushing snow from about 4 am or so on 12/26 until the last late last night.
.
The plows and sand trucks kept on coming and coming, but, with much larger breaks between trucks than when we had a far worse storm in 2005.
.
However, in 2005, we were plowed out in less than 48 hours.

Husein,
.
You are very insane.
.
Please go back to the whole you crawled out of.

“or taking a crap”
.
And by this you mean posting here

patrick, husein11 seems to be obsessed with both of us. You much more so. What do we have in common? We’re both big guys. We’re both furry. God help us, but I think we’re his type. What sets him off more than anything else? Us supporting a repeal of DADT. He’s cruising the swamp trying to stir up a little interest. I think he’s more after you because you’re beefier. Hairy, big men. I don’t know if I’m flattered or not.
.
Is there something you’d like to finally admit to husein11? Something that has been eating away at you for years? It’s nothing to be ashamed of. I can’t help being tall, hairy or having blue eyes. We’re the best friends you have. If you can’t tell us you can’t tell anybody. Say it.

and since this occurred in Queens, we are also to believe you have x-ray vision to see all over the city. Or was this just typical extrapolation from the view of your own little world.

Scardey the Fairy writes about homosexual activity in every one of his writings. Even an amateur psychologist can figure him out. I have never seen a picture nor video of Scardey but Patti did post a video of himself and he is grossly overweight. I will take you at your word, Scardey, that you are as obese as his is, however, that is not all that you have in common. While I go on this site every once in a while when I do I see that you both spend your entire day every day on the site. You are both complete failures and have lives not worth living. As you have the same apperarance and attributes it’s obvious that Patti and Scardey are the same person.

“Scardey the Fairy writes about homosexual activity in every one of his writings”
.
Sounds like you’re an expert at gaydar.

I sleep in the buff. Sometimes when I get hot I kick the covers off. Asleep. Unaware. Sweating. I wouldn’t know if someone was watching. Someone standing there trembling in shame, rage and desire. Someone aching to reach out and touch but terrified of being rejected as they have been so many times before. Say it.

Here’s one street with heavy traffic:
.
http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa351/PatrickSartor/Pictures%20of%20Queens%20NY/0382.jpg
.
Here is a very nearby intersecting street at that same time with heavier traffic and, therefore, a higher priority:
.
http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa351/PatrickSartor/Pictures%20of%20Queens%20NY/040.jpg
.
Here is a side street with even less traffic:
.
http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa351/PatrickSartor/Pictures%20of%20Queens%20NY/032.jpg
.
Taking another look at the first street, notice the area where plows had been marked by the arrow:
.
http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa351/PatrickSartor/Pictures%20of%20Queens%20NY/forfreakinpa.jpg
.
It is obvious exactly what happened: the highest traffic street got the most plows. The non-traffic streets go no plowing and the secondary main arteries got plowing to a point and then stopped due to lack of manpower.

Here is a picture of the intersection of those two streets during the storm.
.
http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa351/PatrickSartor/Pictures%20of%20Queens%20NY/019.jpg
.
Notice that there is plowing on both of them.
.
This is the organization you claim was able to hide a conspiracy:
.
Employees
6800 uniformed sanitation workers and supervisors
2,041 civilian employees
.
You expect anybody to believe that 8,841 people can conspire like this and only one talks to the Daily news when CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox News, CNN, MSNBC all have their headquarters in Manhattan plus the New York Times, the Daily News and the Wall Street Journal.
.
Bulls hit
.

Day-um you are funny sacred.

It’s why I can’t be a psychiatryst. First visit. Twenty minutes. Through the window. Splat. No repeat business.

I saw that you swore that “I spy” MIL story was true, which is funny because I read that and started laughing as we were going out for dinner.
.
She asked what I was laughing about and I told her and said “I don’t know if 1/10th of his stories are true but they sure are funny”

Leans out the window and shouts “I’m still billing your insurance for the visit. The window too. Next!”

“That was the only part of the movie I liked, it was moronic.”
.
The one starring Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves and Gary Busey? Who could have predicted?

Pnnto, unfortunately, just about every single one is true. My life is kind of like an ongoing episode of Jerry Springer. You wouldn’t believe how much time I spent in detention in high school because I always said the first thing that popped into my mind. They also made me go to mental health at work for counseling because they thought I was crazy. Probably the worst part of my personality is that I have the ability to lead people on and provoke a reaction that let’s me mess with them. One of the reasons I get along so well with my wife is because she can do it too. Much better than me in fact. Her stories blow mine away. She can have me in tears when she gets going. I can be a little funny. She can be viciously funny.

I’m going to get rid of that video of myself since Husein takes far too much of an interest in me.

You have nobody to blame but yourself beefcake. Posing there so hot and everything. Honestly though, wasn’t the sock thing overkill?

I have four albums of almost exclusively landscapes:
.
Pictures of New York, NY
.
Pictures of Brooklyn
.
Other.
.
I am afraid that Husein will be disappointed to find pictures of streets and buildings I thought looked good in “Pictures of Queens, NY”.
.
Then, again, in other, the picture named “Mount Hope” is a picture my uncle got of me at the Post office in Amish Country in Mount Hope, Ohio.
.
(If I did mount Hope, I think it would be out of line to show pictures of it online.)

I wonder what husein11 looks like. Do you think he might be cute? If he isn’t cute he’s just wasting his time. If I’m going to take a walk on the wild side it had better be something pretty special. The last thing I want to have to say is “Go wash your ass b!tch. It smells worse than your breath”.
.

We go to Amish country a couple of times a year. We stock up on cheese every time.
.
I do wonder about husein11 though. Anybody that vehement has something that goes way beyond just an opinion. It seems to me that if a person has that strong of a bias, they’ve dipped their toe in the lake a time or two.

Movie time. Later folks.

“It seems to me that if a person has that strong of a bias, they’ve dipped their toe in the lake a time or two.”
.
There’s something up with Husein.
.
I’m worried that that something might be in his pants.
.
I hope not.

“It’s why I can’t be a psychiatryst. First visit. Twenty minutes. Through the window. Splat. No repeat business.”
.
So the twenty minutes is just for billing purposes?

I have to wonder why wingers make fun of people’s names so poorly.
.
“Scardey?” How is that even an insult? Is he trying to call you “Scaredy”, as in “Scaredy Cat”?
.
Another good one was freeinpa calling momentomori “moron mom.”
.
Pretty much the only thing going on there is some of the letters are the same.
I don’t even recall if momentomori ever specified a gender.
.
And yeah, I realize some of us far left liberal lefty loons do it too, but I feel like it’s with less regularity.

I don’t think the insurance will pay unless you spend at least 20 minutes getting therapy. I’m also afraid that I’d be more prone to egg them on. You’re chicken. You haven’t got the guts to do it. You make me sick. They might also feel negelected if I sat there with headphones on and worked a crossword puzzle. I’m a people person but I have my limits. They’d stretch out on the couch, I’d cross their arms over their chest, put a lilly in their hands and tell them how natural they looked.
.
I think my choosing federal service worked out well for me. People expect us to act like that. Constructive is my middle name.

Our screen names are sacred. At least mine is. By violating my screen name he is in essence violating me. Sometimes again and again. He’s an animal.

“Sometimes again and again. He’s an animal.”
.
LOL
.
It is true, though, that on at least half of the threads you make a gay-related joke.
.
OTOH, any time I worked in an all male environment (car sales, cab driving commercial real estate – not residential, that’s about 80% female as commercial is about 80% male- security) gay-related jokes are the norm.
.
Be careful, I think you might be turning Husein on.

“I have to wonder why wingers make fun of people’s names so poorly.”
.
You know, using my real name, I was expecting that the nickname I had in the third grade (literally the third grade) would show up.
.
I really think that these people have no creativity or independent thinking.

“It is true, though, that on at least half of the threads you make a gay-related joke.”
.
I should lighten up. Most of the people I work with are retired or former military including retired navy. It’s an all male crew too. The navy guys are by far the worst (or funniest) when it comes to gay jokes. During the 2008 primaries there were three guys that supported Rudy (mostly because of 911). When those photos of him in drag surfaced, that was it. He was never mentioned again unless they made fun of him. A couple of guys quit supporting Bush when they found out he was a cheerleader at Yale. They’re great guys but at least 2/3′s are no questions asked homophobes. Up until last year there weren’t any unmarried guys at work. We have one now and he’s a widower. We have one guy that’s on his 7th wife.
.

patrick, I didn’t realize I made gay-related jokes so often. I think sometimes it takes other people to notice things that we ourselves don’t. A couple of months ago we had company and my wife told me after they left that she thought I made one of them uncomfortable. I asked her how and she said that everytime I disagree with something that I seldom blink and never break eye contact when talking to the person I disgree with. I said I’d never noticed and she insisted that I’d been that way since she’s known me. I have to make a conscious effort not to do it.

“patrick, I didn’t realize I made gay-related jokes so often.”
.
I don’t mind.
.
I’d say less than car salesmen, a little more than security guards, more than cab drivers and more than commercial real estate agents if you wanted a critique.
.
Of course with any job – unless you really are a severe enough homophobe – what you don’t want is a real gay person to be really upset and insulted.
.
At one dealership there was a guy with a lisp who’s desk was next to a man in his 70s.
.
The guy with the lisp as far as I know wasn’t gay (but I don’t have gaydar). At one point the guy with the lisp went to management and was afraid that the 70 something year old (widower with children – but the guy with the lisp did not know this) was really after him sexually and got scared.
.
Of everything Husein said, that was true, but not a problem for most of us. Maybe you’re scaring away actual gay people. I don’t know.

“That was the only part of the movie I liked, it was moronic.”

.
Not nearly as moronic as a guy that is snowed in and has nothing better to do than post inane comments all day long.
.
He is so much more entertaining and not moronic, no not at all.
.
Stay tuned for more updates on the exciting life of Patty the poster.

Enter the drill sarg:

Going totally OT for no known reason:
.

.
Good movie.

Before I went to work, I was watching the news and they had a story about the sorry state of the snow removal in NYC. I’m sorry, but the street which the reporter was standing in the middle of and claimed had not been plowed looked plowed to me–though not plowed all the way down to the pavement.
.
I live in Erie, PA and it is not uncommon for us to get 12, 15, 18 inches in a 24 period. Lake effect snows. Most of our streets are not plowed all the way down to the pavement because it can damage the asphalt. But even unplowed streets are not impossible to navigate through. We just go through it. All this moaning has me convinced New Yorkers and others are spoiled children, crying because the city didn’t didn’t clear away the snow fast enough. Boo Hoo. If people didn’t strand their vehicles on roadways after getting stuck but called for tow trucks right away, maybe things could have turned out differently.

sacredh – I don’t mind the gay jokes, and I feel like they’re pretty clearly in good fun. Then again I’m straight, so I could be completely wrong.
.
But groenhagen calling Joe Klein “Liberace,” and 2thirdsrocks and textee insisting that they can’t have limp wristed cross dressers in the military – those are honest to god insults.
.
They feel being gay is something to be ashamed of. They’re of a kind with the Phelps Clan and Saxy Chambliss’ aide.

“Of everything Husein said, that was true, but not a problem for most of us. Maybe you’re scaring away actual gay people. I don’t know.”
.
I have this picture in my mind of Patty rubbing his hands in a nervous OCD manner, after this was typed.
.
If he doesn’t scare you away Patty, you don’t need to worry.
.
You ARE the litmus test.

I went back and checked out a few threads and you’re right patrick. While I might think the comments were meant as innocent fun, I can see where they might be taken more harshly than I had intended. Nobody likes to be made fun of and while I make fun of everybody, I can see where I might be making some people uncomfortable enough that they might not want to post and become a target.
.
I’m going to make an effort to reel it in a bit. I don’t like the idea that I might be the reason some people don’t post or that I’m scaring some people away from joining in on the conversations. I support the rights of gays and lesbians to serve openly and marry if that’s what they want. I don’t even like the idea that gays and lesbians are perceived as “they”. It’s just a different lifestyle that I don’t have any experience with.

liberalmeltdown, did you have to post that video? My wife has compared me to him several times. She says that if he had a handlebar mustache, less bushy eyebrows and was a little bit more sarcastic, that could be me in 10 years or so. My son and a couple of his friends have said the same thing. I guess we don’t see ourselves as others see us.

Psychiatric Meltdown,
.
Is this your official recognition that I am heterosexual or are you saying that I am test for what scares away gay people?
.
Because this is moronic.
.
If I were gay, I would a hell of a lot more to look good I would think.
.
I took the video offline, but, during the time I was snowed in, I wasn’t exactly neat looking.
.
I’m going to see if one of the barbers is open in my neighborhood since I was going to hit the bars for an hour or two tonight since it is New Year’s Eve and want to look respectable.

“It’s just a different lifestyle that I don’t have any experience with.”
.
Don’t overboard, here.
.
I think Husein, Groenhaggen and textee might be in the closet self loathing who might take your gay jokes as an invitation or something. That’s what I would worry about if I were you.

Once, when doing commercial real estate in an office (not from home as I do now) I came in wearing the standard dark suit and tie. I couldn’t find my blue tie so I wore my green tie.
.
This was a September.
.
My boss was casual with a pair of jeans and a light red shirt.
.
“Hey, want’s with the green tie, is it Saint Patrick’s day?’
.
“No. Is gay pride day”.
.
(Pause – remember this guy owns the company)
.
He looks down on his shirt (the man’s the married father of two) and says “that’s a pretty good comeback”.
.
Same place.
.
One of my coworkers goes to my boss wants to speak with him.
.
In a hushed voice the employee asks “can you close the door”.
.
Boss: “Why are you going to bend over for me.”
.
Boss “Hey well Patrick thought it was funny” (I couldn’t help but laugh at that one.”
.
Most of the jokes and the like are kind of “you had to be there” kinds of things, so, that’s why I don’t think that they are that funny.
.
Another time at the same place one of my coworkers was talking about going to a place in Eastern Long Island, Shelter Island.
.
I had just been through there and showed some pictures to him on my computer.
.
I got a few shots off of the Shelter Island Ferry.
.
A coworker comes by and say,”Alright! We don’t want any of you’re Fairy sht here. No more of your Ferry sht”.
.
The kinds of jokes at one of the car dealerships I worked at – the one I mentioned above – would either really disgust or totally turn on (if he didn’t know they were jokes) an actual gay guy.
.
To be honest, I am more concerned about the later than the former.
.
Offline gays can tell from 50 feet away that I am much too sloppy to be one of theirs.

Correction: what’s with the green tie?

“If I were gay, I would do a hell of a lot more to look good I would think.”
.
That made me laugh out loud. Wait until you get married. You’ll NEVER have to worry about looking good again. Your wife will do it for you. Everything from if your hair is properly combed to whether your shirt matches your pants will be her responsibility. They feel that how we look reflects on them. Did you forget to shave because it’s your day off? She won’t let you forget. Is there a hole in your favorite t-shirt? Hide it or else it’s history. Not wearing underwear because it’s hot outside? You’re showing off or on the make. You want to hear the capper? They think they’re doing it for YOU!
.

Are you saying that I shouldn’t mention that I can touch the end of my nose with the tip of my tongue again? Are you saying that I shouldn’t mention that I wear size 12-13 shoes?

Now things are fine:

About 25% of the subways were stopped.
.
One of the three commuter rail systems, the Long Island Railroad, was completely shut down for an entire day.
.
Obviously, on most roads driving (if you own a car – and many of my neighbors don’t even though I do) driving was not even a realistic possibility.

With the superintendent living in another neighborhood and not here to shovel, one of my neighbors, a WWII Veteran, couldn’t make it from the front door to the street safely and decided to stay indoors for 36 hours.

Groenhaggen and Husein are are getting excited.

Does anyone, who watches Fox, know if they have claimed this as evidence that all liberals are bank robbers?

I think Drudge had the siren blaring.

Glen Beck has probably traced it back to Hitler and Stalin.

After all that, how did he figure that sacred was a scaredy-cat, too? Is he sacred’s neighbor?

You want to hear something else I think is crazy? My wife will spend an hour getting ready to go out putting on makeup that looks like she’s not wearing any. She’ll dress in something fairly sexy to draw attention to her boobs and yet I can jump out of the shower, pull on a t-shirt and sweats and she won’t leave the house with me because she thinks they look obscene. I can wear them around the house but not if we’re going out. I can’t even sit around the house in my underwear anymore because “What if somebody shows up?”.

Yeah, I guess there are benefits to being single.

My biggest worry is that for women Spring Cleaning means every Spring, not every fourth Spring.

“and since this occurred in Queens, we are also to believe you have x-ray vision to see all over the city. Or was this just typical extrapolation from the view of your own little world.”
.
Question, where do you live since you seem to have a superior view of the issue or are you simply ignorant reality so you can attack unions? Just wondering. It seems like you’re right there counting plowtrucks.

My kids refer to it as “bumping uglies”…

I wish. Spring cleaning at our house is every 3 months. I don’t get a honey do list. I get a honey do encyclopedia. We’ve got a big house too. 10 rooms, 2 bathrooms,two storage rooms, two garages and an acre of landscaped lawn. We’ve also got 24 geometrically shaped shrubs around the house I have to do 2-3 times a year. We’ve also got a chandelier in the dining room that I almost hate because it takes so long to clean. Then there’s the rose bushes and flower gardens. And the trees.

That’s pretty funny. The MIL puts on gospel music when we’re busy and turns it up. I think she just can’t stand the idea that I might be having fun. I went upstairs once and told her that I didn’t want to upset her, but her daughter had just swallowed another of her grandchildren. She went ballistic.
