“So how come it’s un-presidential to wear flip flops, but no one ever said anything about Reagan or Bush2 wearing boots covered in horse or cow poo? Is that presidential, walking around with poop on your boots? Stupid, right? Because it’s a non-issue, and so dumb it doesn’t deserve ink or bandwidth”
Legion, pwned
Not so fast dirty hipster,
first, MM is just mad about last night’s debate,
second, flip flops are just magnets for deadly bacteria and that’s not very Presidential. :o(

“When she’s no longer hot.”
that might be now – her hair looked atrocious in that last speech she made. girl please!!
“I wonder when the obsession with Palin will end?”
When she’s no longer hot.
The most interesting things I’ve done (to date) come in spurts. The era when I was around 28-30 was a great time. Then, from 38-40 was another golden period.
I’m getting the feeling that another such era will come in a couple of years. My daughter is on her own, and by that time I hoope to be financially set (enough) so that I could do some new things I’m planning.
“whatever happened to Dan Rather anyway?”
He’s got his own show on HDTV or some similarly named network and often appears on the Sunday morning shows, e.g., Chris Matthews.
I have a solution to the bicyclist problem:
Put a steel cable across the bike path, about chest height. At night, the bicyclists who have proper headlamps will see the cable and go around it. The ones who don’t, won’t.
haha bxgrl!
Actually I guess I had pretty much done all of the interesting things I’ve ever done by the time I was 23. By that time I had done the growing up all backwoods, several years of being a logger, a year or so as a back-to-the land survivalist type, dropped out of high school and joined a circus, worked for a year or two as a roadie / lights guy for various bands, joined the Navy, did my random traveling around Europe by myself, lived in Spain for a year… Now I fall asleep just thinking about myself.
“DH, I still see those cop cars IN the bike lanes on Sand St leading to/from BK bridge”
they did that shit back in september along 2nd ave in manhattan. cop car parks in bike lane – bike goes out of bike lane, around cop car – bike gets ticket.
of course they all get thrown out – but it makes pedestrians feel happy when they see someone with a helmet on their head getting a ticket.
