My brother is visiting from Washington State and he logged on to the computer to check
his home newspaper. He suddenly laughed while reading the sports page (comments section) and asked if I had been writing comments. I logged on to see what he was laughing at and suddenly felt as if I was reading DU. :rofl: No I didn't write this but it worked for me.


Distraction for the masses

Who gives a rat's patooty. Is this going to be the subject for the weekend?
Sports? I guess indicative of a distracted country with totally confused priorities trying to escape the dog shit pile our leaders have left us in and bliss out on meaningless ...yadda yadda- you get the point. God Bless America and deliver it from our deluded, myopic and foolish selves. Why not how to slaughter a moose and turn it into something a lying shit head from Alaska would stuff in her nasty assed pie hole before watching aggressive skaters in padding and need of anger management classes beat the crap out of each other with sticks?

1. LOL! I love Washington State.

I am a Native. I was on the streets yesterday in Seattle at the Pike Place Market. Much of the rhetoric was akin to you post. People were absolutely astounded at the FLACK CATCHER, Flyswatter, Moose Killer, Caribou Barbie, and those are just a few of the more polite things I heard about failin Palin.

No one I met in the Heart of Seattle, and more people go there each year than go to Disneyland, had a nice thing to say about her... except that her youngest daughter is absolutely darling. (I concur)

We had two Cruise ships in and and evening Mariner/Yankee game in town so the city was bustling! I love the New Yorkers!

The songwriters/buskers have already composed antiPALIN/McSame songs. I had at least 10 people actually tap on or point to my OBAMA button and give me a thumbs up!

Lots of passerby conversations were political. I met a couple from Israel with a new baby in a Coffee shop. They were talking about OBAMA.


WOOOOO HOOOO the whole world is watching!

2. I don't get to hear those types of comments here in Ohio
I love it that Washington State is so progressive and I love the way it has changed my brother. :bounce:
