Thirteen cars…wow

hmm. I thought that black Lincoln town car, chauffeur-driven was the standard ride of rethug plutocrats everywhere

Baker is completely off the reservation. Sez that neither S. Ossetia nor Abkazia wanted to be part of Georgia when Georgia became independent. He knows because he was there.

13 cars?

Would that be called “irrational consumption” fueled by irrational exuberance?

Gee, no Hummer? That’s what a really manly man drives s/

Just put that in the comments downstairs….. teehee….

So, John McCain is the King Kong of carbon footprints.

Now Albright will defend NATO expansion. By no means was that abrogation of the agreement with Gorbychev a threat to Russia. No no no. Not at all.

I WANT one of those or a Tata

IM SERIOUS

Who’s the fucking elitist?

That’s more than 2 cars per house! If you count seven houses. With one left over… for house hunting!

Has Donna Brazile ever make any public comment regarding her being pepper sprayed by Fascists at the R Convention in St. Paul?

for fukkkkkkkkkks sake they have a JET airplane!!

I own a Toyota built in the US Many of the “US’ vehicles are built abroad What is an “american car”

yeah, but does McCain know how many cars he has ?

.

Cessna Citations have long replaced the Lear Jets of old. Anybody who’s anybody owns a Citation Jet like McCain’s. (Not an Elitist b/c he eats no arugula).

I’m fine, how are you?

Been working a lot.

That, and following the beck and call of my dogs. Here’s one mugging for the vidcam.

And I can’t even imagine 13 bags of groceries… Rarely buy 13 gallons of gasoline at one time. Seriously debated whether my 13 dollar a month netflix bill is worth it.

Key Lehman Employees to Get $2.5 Billion in Bonuses

For those who thought outsized pay for investment bankers and traders was a thing of the past, think again. Ditto with the idea that having been a key actor in a financial failure dims one’s employment prospects. The poster child is John Meriwether, the head of hedge fund Long Term Capital Management, whose collapse in 1998 nearly caused a systemic crisis, leading the Fed to broker a rescue. Meriwether went on to launch another large hedge fund.

From the UK’s Times:

Staff at Lehman’s New York office who helped to cause the world’s biggest corporate bankruptcy are to share in a $2.5 billion bonanza.

or Gulfstreams

Just for nonsense value, flipping my wig instead of finger, as it were:

In honor of Brian Lamb and CSpan.

you shmuucks are gonna bay the Bonnobos at Lehman Bros

2,500,000,000.00 dollars in bonuses

I love my chihuahua. She weighs 7 lbs at 6 months and just keeps growing.

that is pay

I got a fairly recent Robbin Ford CD with that tune on it. I never could make out the words too well. Thanks.

Oh, my manners!

Good afternoon Pach. I hope you are doing well, whatever that means in today’s world.

Encourage eCAHN to give a listen to linkie at #29 if you would, please. ;->

i have 2 like that i rescued 2 years ago………cute little critters
Melba and Mabel

omg, our 18 lb kitty could eat her for lunch! I’ll bet she’s cute!

wow mine love to go under the blankets too…”g”

My sister has one with one brown eye, one blue eye, and one nasty personality

Been working a lot.
Somebody has to pay for the bailout! Hey the investors hail you keep bailin we will keep the ship afloat!
Sweet pooch and a real ham. Does she have a good contract I hope?

Beggin’ yer pardon, i ain’t no schmuck. Bonnobo/Lehman’s the schmuck.

Cream, Wheel of Fire , no youtube but Pressed Rat and Warthog may do!

She’s wonderful but the vet keeps yelling at me that she has to lose weight. I give her 2 tablespoons of food in the am and 1 tablespoon in the afternoon and she always hungry. Don’t quite know what to do.

Well…. does it accommodate a car?

The idea of this bailout must be tied to the Republicans. No common citizen wants to see these golden parachutes deployed. Paulson seeks full control with no oversight and no pay cuts for execs.

Recent tv news header says Obama and McCain are both amenable to the bailout. It is the worst, biggest most blatent robbery in history.

Here’s one of my favs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftJ-gJ-l5HQ

McCain didn’t have a car when he was locked up in Hanoi, you know. (screaming)”Leave John McCain alone!”(end screaming) he was a POW, but you all probably didn’t know that, did you?

My JRT has the same problemo ever since I had him fixed.

And is he mentally fit to drive a car?

How does one alert the state of AZ that it might have a driver not fit to drive?

What, no Rolls or Bentleys? Riff raff.

Hell Bush 1 wouldn’t let him drive the golf cart

Call in bmaz.

Thast is what his lobby/corporatist buddies chaufer them around in

Hijacking my own thread, here’s a video of the two dogs, happy to see me home after I got back from Denver convention.

Hey. That’s just the guy-control-thing.

Wheels of Fire probably played too prominent a role in my early development.

Raven, did anyone tell you SD posted in the last thread? Said his home computer was fried and he was using one at work to touch base.

Who does the driving for Cindy’s little man?

Remember, middle class = under 5 million per year.

That was intended as a reply to Raven @ 41.

THANKS! Dang

Huffpo:

In a change from the original proposal sent to Capitol Hill, foreign-based banks with big U.S. operations could qualify for the Treasury Department’s mortgage bailout, according to the fine print of an administration statement Saturday night.

we WILL be shmucks if we let them drain the TREASURY …to BAIL OUT FOREIGN BANKS …just say NO

but …. but …. obama is an ELITIST!

HAHAHAAHHAAHAHA
some good news

One thought pushes fence-sitters to the left: Palin
By Adam C. Smith, Times Political Editor
In print: Saturday, September 20, 2008

ST. PETERSBURG — Five weeks ago, the St. Petersburg Times convened a group of Tampa Bay voters who were undecided about the presidential election. Their strong distrust of Barack Obama suggested it was a group ripe for John McCain to win over.

Not anymore. The group has swung dramatically, if unenthusiastically, toward Democrat Obama. Most of them this week cited the same reason: Sarah Palin.

“The one thing that frightens me more than anything else are the ideologues. We’ve seen too many,” said 80-year-old Air Force veteran Donn Spegal, a lifelong Republican from St. Petersburg, who sees McCain’s new running mate as the kind of “wedge issue” social conservative that has made him disenchanted with his party.

“I’m truly offended by Palin,” said Republican Philinia Lehr, 37, of Largo, a full-time mother with a nursing degree who voted for George Bush in 2004. Like Palin, she has five children and she doesn’t buy that the Alaska governor can adequately balance her family and the vice presidency

Mr. Chaplin, another recipient of the honor of being on J. Edgar Hoover’s enemies list. Well, not TOO big an honor I guess, since nearly everyone was on it.

Oh, but the U.S. must be the leader, even if it is over the cliff, I suppose.

The foreign bank bailout may be directed toward the Chinese, Saudi & Indian financiers of the U.S. economy. I wonder if Wall St. whiz kids sold the mortgage junk to them.

yes and McDummy will pay ANYBODY 50 bux an hr to pick LETTUCE(not$$$$) all year round….yoy cannot do it MY FRIENDS,you cannot do it

Cute ‘lil fruit bats! (I have one too.)

Now I’m wondering why TRex never checks in…

Donna Brazile made no public comment after being pepper sprayed by Fascists at the R Convention in St. Paul.

Here’s Brazile after Katrina:

On Thursday night President Bush spoke to the nation from my city. I am not a Republican. I did not vote for George W. Bush — in fact, I worked pretty hard against him in 2000 and 2004. But on Thursday night, after watching him speak from the heart, I could not have been prouder of the president and the plan he outlined to empower those who lost everything and to rebuild the Gulf Coast.

we can not let the BULLS race through the CHINA SHOP anymore

McCain could try to win them back by making it clear that Todd will be the co-VP. It’s the Palin-Palin-McCain campaign.

you hve a Chi Chi….mine both have such long snouts

ahahahahahahahahahahahahaz

50 bucks sounds good. What does Bush pay people to bring in the harvest at his Brush Ranch? There could be a bidding war.

I think you are on to something big. Of course they bought the junk mortgages. And now that want their money back.

Sweet pusters! Here’s my knuckle heads

That would be PUPSTERS!

I don’t have a dog in this fight.

o/t, maybe, but worth a listen and it’s fun!

oh my!!!!

Love Ravel but hadn’t heard that concerto before. Thanks.

Hope your impression of woodwinds isn’t tainted by that recording though. Truly, the fussy-looking oboist surely wasn’t meaning to sound like sandpaper. Some mikes just aren’t up to the job of capturing their complex tone.
Unless that was a French orchestra, in which case, maybe that WAS his tone quality. [meow! and sorry!] me prefers the American oboe sound, like our sonny’s – makes ya melt! Played Tchaik #4 last night and we’re still glowing. No. Happily, Ravel et al. will never go out of style.

“Mr. Chaplin, another recipient of the honor of being on J. Edgar Hoover’s enemies list. Well, not TOO big an honor I guess, since nearly everyone was on it.”
Big Brother is watching you, when you post on FDL, when to call on the land lne, when you call on the cell phone…welcome to 1984 have a little more SOMA everything will seem allright John McCain and Sarah Pailin want yoy to keep bailin…they know what is best for you.

Baz if you fast foward half way through the human critters

BTW, Ian has been on fucking fire around here lately.

I just had to point that out.

Here’s a good review of money this administration has wasted. Do read the emails Stoller got from democrats in congress.

Oh no, that recording sucked. I have a much better CD, but that’s the first one I found on YouTube. (I’m a newbie on the YouTubie, so maybe I didn’t look hard enuf for a good recording).

NYC ballet has a wonderful Robbins (iirc) ballet to that concerto, which gave me goosebumps the first three times I saw it. Also played it in my apt the first time I invited my later to be second husband up to my apt. So many emotional attachments to it.

“The foreign bank bailout may be directed toward the Chinese, Saudi & Indian financiers of the U.S. economy. I wonder if Wall St. whiz kids sold the mortgage junk to them.”
No doubt…just keep bailin “My Friend” we got more and bigger bailouts comon so you gotta keep on bailin while the US dollar is failin.

Can you say what he’s up to?

Nice dawgs. Still consider myself a dog person even though it’s been 15 years since my last one em-barked on his final journey.

he gets it…and then shares it…”g”

{{{{{ratty}}}}}

Bush II also, apparently, according to Suskind. Just started his latest book, and he goes on about junior’s poisonality and testiness at the thot of anyone not letting HIM do the driving and having his way in general.

I guess he really never grew up, and it’s all true, sigh.

Speaking of drivers, how about the country?! If mcsame ain’t fit to drive a vee-hickle, do “they” consider him just superkeen to steer the country? I’m carsick at the thot, and have been for years. I don’t think a little pill is going to do it, nor a new mattress, nor soft music.

We gotta FIX this wobble our nation has acquired of late. Keep those ideas flowing, doggies.

Teddy up over at the Mothership with a statement of the obvious (”Golden Parachutes are unpatriotic”)

i shall pass that around to EVERYBODY i know

Fried motherboard.

Got my first dog on the quad in 70. We lived up on University and I would walk to class and leave Ralphie on the quad. He’d be out there when I came out.

Giants just tied it up. Should be doing better.

13 cars and NINE (9) houses. What a pig he is. Not presidential material.

well all righty then! never mind! /s

She sees to it, discreetly of course, that they have people who do that sort of thing.

Those were different times. Had a cop threaten to write me a ticket back in the ’90s for bringing a bicycle onto the Quad.

Ha, Chef Ra and Hash Wednesday!

oh golly, first someone offends the schmucks, and now you go after the pigs.

My honey, when he retired, kept his office sign:

“PLEASE DO NOT ANNOY, TORMENT, PESTER, PLAGUE, MOLEST, WORRY, BADGER, HARRY, HARASS, HECKLE, PERSECUTE, IRK, BULLYRAG, VEX, DISQUIET, GRATE, BESET, BOTHER, TEASE, NETTLE, TANTALIZE, OR RUFFLE THE ANIMALS…”

Got that?!?

1985 Quad

And another thing….

What is it with the picking on all furrin cars?! Who’s been building factories and hiring workers in the US, vs those sneaking across the border to build and hire? And when’s the last time you peeked under the hood or behind any pieces-parts of modern cars? Virtually ALL are a mishmash of stuff from all over, and many aren’t even assembled in the US any more.

Hey, is that Cornell?

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Focus on the NUMBER of cars, not the brands. Many Americans drive Hondas. (I drive a Ford.)

How may cars does Phil Gramm have ??

Thanks, belatedly. (we were interrupted)

That brings memories too, but not from us directly; family connections.
Thanx for clearing it up.

#1 Don’t yell at vet over sweet doggie’s head.
#2 Follow your own instincts and love sweet doggie, even if it means giving an occasional extra treat.
#3 It helps, but only a limited way, to distract both doggie and vet by suggesting play as an alternative.

Oh sigh….

You sound as if you have wonderful instincts. Follow them.
