Right WING NUTS file suit against OBAMA candidacy?

redyellowblackdog @redyellowblackdog (10629) • United States 23 Aug 08

Yes, it is true. A far out over the edge way out there ridiculous lawsuit claiming Obama is not eligible to be President of the USA has been filed. Was it the GOP? Was it a RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY? Was it racists who can't stand...

calcynic I feel, in my gut, that Hillary is behind this whole thing. She's probably got a few layers of lackeys between her and the plaintiff, as to establish deniability. She is a proctologiast's dream...a PERFECT a$$hole.

What do you miss?

Humbug25 @Humbug25 (12540) 23 Aug 08

I have just come back from a few days away and apart from myLot (of course) I really missed my own bedroom. I had to share a bed with my son whilst away and he was all over the place. I like the way my own bed sheets smell and I...

calcynic The food we eat at home is what I can't wait to get back to. While away, restaurant food and take out and stuff like that gets old. Even while visiting friends or relatives, as well meaning as they may be, their cooking, no matter how good, just ain't like...

worse than a deadbeat dad

little_momma @little_momma (198) • United States 23 Aug 08

Here's the bare bones of the situation: My 4 year old daughter's biological dad has basically been no part of her life. A few months after she was born he took off (not that he was around much anyway) and would only come around...

calcynic It can either mean hugs and kisses or love and kisses. There has been disagreement whether the x or the o is the hug. It really doesn't matter.

calcynic I think it's a GREAT choice. Biden's rock solid experience and Obama's fresh idealism are a terrific combo...a counterbalance that Obama sorely needs. My only gripe with Biden is his pro corporatist leanings, but, hell, He is from Delaware. I have even heard...

Russia Ends Military Operations in Georgia

Julie @movicont (495) • United States 12 Aug 08

It's finally over now--Russia has pulled its troops out of Georgia, as shown in this BBC article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7555858.stm That was certainly a lot faster than I expected. Any comments on the issue?

redyellowblackdog @redyellowblackdog (10629) • United States 19 Aug 08

Embarrassing Blunders

zigzagbuddha @zigzagbuddha (4601) • United States 21 Aug 08

I went to the library the other day to re-checkout the Osho Zen Tarot Deck, which I thought I had returned. It was not where it was supposed to be but the card catalog listed it as 'in'. I asked Tomi, the librarian, where they had...

calcynic I'll tell you straight off...my life is a series of embarrassing brainfarts, punctuated by some lucid moments. Too many to number. I do know that I would drop the subject, keep the deck and make an anonymous donation to the library.

calcynic I think it should be 30 days in jail, just for leaving a baby/small child in a car, if there is no injury, and a negligent homicide charge if the kid dies. 3 years if the child is made ill by these actions. No sympathy...sympathy is found in the dictionary,...
