Panic At Nabisco

Hi Dave, First let me tell you your new picture sucks. From that one eye you look either nasty or stoned. My opinion... Our blogs are very similar except for the fact I try to use words everyone under stands. You write these blogs that I need my dictionary near by. That might be the reason you don't get many responses. As for Hillary wearing Kankies (I'll look that up later)I'm sure it's bad. Why do you feel the need to say she's right but throw in how much you hate her. Will we think any less of you if you just defend her without all the added crap? By the waymy spell check doesn't even know what a kankie is. I'll have to go look it up now.

I agree that Hillary, much as I despise her, is not wrong here. The historical fact is that it did take the leadership of the president to bring the 1964 Civil Rights Act into law. That in no way diminishes the role of MLK and others. What's ironic to me is that Hillary, like Bill, tries so hard to kiss up to people who will NEVER be placated.

fenway,

I read yours already. I usually do read most of yours, but like many people who read mine, I don't always respond. It doesn't have to mean something bad just because I don't respond; just that I felt uncompelled to add anything.
I don't blog for the love of accolades and responses, fenway. I blog for the love of expressing truth and the love of the written word - hence the "grandiloquence". LOL

Barack is grasping at straws right now and is willing to do what ever it takes to win, even if it means playing the race card. You would have to be illiterate not to know what Hillary said wasn't racist. In this case Barack is hoping if he throws enough crap some will stick. Ridiculous!! This is just another reason for not voting for him.
If BArack had any integrity at all, he should have come right out and said, he didn’t think Hillary said anything racist at all, and he knew exactly what she meant in her statement. That would have spoken volumes of the man; instead, he chose to take the low road. Ah!! I have no respect for him any more.

I agree that Obama and Deval are very much alike, two fine orators with nothing to say. Two empty suits. Obama tries to channel JFK with the overcoat look and the soaring, old-fashioned speeches without specifics. He talks about "hope" and "opportunity" and the "future". When you look at his positions on issues, though, he's really Al Sharpton.

Convenient how you selectively omitted the part where I said that I was only kidding, Chrissy. I was being ironic in light of the subject matter of the blog, which was about guys telling her to iron their shirts. The irony was underscored by the fact that I put the words in quotation marks - indicating that I was - in essence - quoting the aforementioned guys who delivered the original tongue-in-cheek slurs.
Chip, on the other hand, said that I was a "front desk clerk (which I'm not, btw) with a big vocabulary and a small BLEEP". ...And his shot was totally unsolicited. I wasn't even addressing him where he said that. He was just boiling with anger for the fact that I just proved his hypocrisy in a way he could not argue with - so he stooped to juvenile behavior.
What I said to him was not "cheap" at all - I was very justifiably holding his feet to the fire for his (now routine) hypocrisy. I am sick of him. I think he's a freakin' nut-job.

bufadelli, Obama is resorting to the same tactics that Deval used in order to win the election as well...Here in Massachusetts, we've seen the game, so I can't understand how Obama can have any supporters here. The guy preaching hope in the gubernatorial race is now in charge, and he's one of the biggest jokes I've ever seen. Therefore, why would I put the guy preaching hope in THIS election in charge of the country?

Its quite possible each camp has their people that sit with pen-in-hand listening and waiting for anything to be said by an opponent that can be used against them. I don't think Hillary meant what she said in a racial aspect, but whatever, it was a not well thought out because it slighted all the efforts MLK had put forth in his life and that it took someone of greater power and influence to make a difference. That was insensitive no matter how you slice it. Its like if you spent years writing a book and all the credit was given to the publisher. But, as I say, they look for anything.
(And, btw, Dave, that is your best pic!;) )

Hey now! Thanks, Foxy! I don't have a lot of pictures of me, and most of the ones cannot be seen in such a tiny avatar space. The current photo best represents the way I look after I've been awake for awhile and have had my coffee. I've got dozens of photos of myself BEFORE I've been showered and caffeinated - none of which are very flattering...
As for your other comment, I respectfully disagree with you if you think it was Hillary's intention to be "insensitive". I think she was merely trying to emphasize the importance of who's at the helm in the oval office. The fact of the matter is that MLK needed a president who would cooperate with him. If he didn't have that, would we even celebrate Martin Luther King Day-? ...I contend that we would probably (unfortunately) not.

Let's just hope we don't get Obama in office, Graham...I really don't want to see if that would sum up his leadership "abilities" as well as Deval's. (Seems like New Hampshire paid attention though...Note that Obama didn't win the primary there. Now we just have to make sure Massachusetts residents do the same.)
